Checklist
- do a thorough audit of all lchan->conn dereferences
- fix the actual bug reported
- implement TTCN3 tests to trigger the problem
Updated by pespin about 6 years ago
I'd say lchan pointer (0x7ffff7fb3290) is not correct in rsl_rx_conn_fail, and it is obtained in caller abis_rsl_rx_dchan(). It is also the only thing which I think can fail in the line causing the segfault.
Interestingly, though, lchan is accessed once in that code path without any issue when calling gsm_lchan_name, where pointer is derreferenced:
msg->lchan = lchan_lookup(sign_link->trx, rslh->chan_nr,
"Abis RSL rx DCHAN: ");
if (!msg->lchan)
return -1;
ts_name = gsm_lchan_name(msg->lchan);
static inline char *gsm_lchan_name(const struct gsm_lchan *lchan)
{
return lchan->name;
}
It is also used in rsl_rx_conn_fail previous to the crash without any issue:
LOGP(DRSL, LOGL_NOTICE, "%s CONNECTION FAIL in state %s ",
gsm_lchan_name(msg->lchan),
gsm_lchans_name(msg->lchan->state));
Outputing in the log:
<0004> abis_rsl.c:1367 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) CONNECTION FAIL in state ACTIVE CAUSE=0x01(Radio Link Failure)
So it seems what is wrong is not lchan pointer, but lchan->conn, which is used first in that code path.
It would be interesting to know the value of lchan->conn when getting the segfault, to see if it's NULL or it contains garbage. If you run again into the crash with gdb, can you print the value of the pointer? In gdb cmd line: "print lchan->conn". You can also print the full lchan info: "print *lchan".

Just to mention it -- you have tried completely uninstalling all osmo libraries, cleaning all source trees and rebuilding everything from scratch?
If you e.g. install a newer version of a library (with an ABI change) and a dependent program is not rebuilt subsequently, that may cause stack corruption issues.
I hope that's not it and we can uncover a bug here.

BTW, unrelated: note http://git.osmocom.org/libosmo-crypt-a53/tree/README.md
i.e. you shouldn't need libosmo-crypt-a53

Just to mention it -- you have tried completely uninstalling all osmo libraries, cleaning all source trees and rebuilding everything from scratch?
If you e.g. install a newer version of a library (with an ABI change) and a dependent program is not rebuilt subsequently, that may cause stack corruption issues.
I hope that's not it and we can uncover a bug here.
Hi Neels,
We installed all the osmo elements from scratch to a newly and updated installation of Ubuntu 16.04 last April 14, 2018 using the latest git version that time.
We will try to reinstall all of the osmo elements again today using the latest versions from git and removing the "libosmo-crypt-a53" from the installation.
We'll let you know if we will experience the segfault again.

Hi Neels,
We installed the latest version today and still we experience segfault.
It seems that every time a "Radio Link Failure" occurs, segfault will be triggered. Kindly see logs below for your reference:
<0004> abis_rsl.c:1367 (bts=0,trx=0,ts=0,ss=0) CONNECTION FAIL in state ACTIVE CAUSE=0x01(Radio Link Failure) Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Updated by neels almost 6 years ago
@Ron, thanks for the clarification.
The next thing to do to fix this issue is to try reproducing the failure with ttcn3 tests:
Trigger the CONNECTION FAIL with cause Radio Link Failure as seen in the logs and ensure graceful handling.
So far we haven't assigned or prioritized this issue.
A segfault is inherently important, but currently not sure when we'll get a chance to investigate in detail.

Looking at this in more detail.
- rxl_rx_conn_fail() blindly dereferences lchan->conn
- lchan->conn is set in gsm0408_rcvmsg() when the first DATA IND (i.e. Layer 3 data) arrives
However, what if a CONN FAIL is received even before we receive the first DATA IND is received?

- % Done changed from 0 to 20
or even more so: What if the RLL connection (equals LAPDm link) has already been closed by means of RLL REL IND / RLL REL REQ? handle_release() will e.g. set lchan->conn to NULL. As will do lchan_release().
I think it's fundamentally wrong to assume that a lchan will always have a "conn" associated.

fix has been committed to osmo-bsc master in http://git.osmocom.org/osmo-bsc/commit/?id=cc2fb61a1639b5237d2271f2789cfbe951471d78
feel free to either upgrade to latest osmo-bsc master, or to back-port the fix using
git cherry-pick cc2fb61a1639b5237d2271f2789cfbe951471d78to your currently used version of osmo-bsc.
The bug was originally introduced [by me] in git commit 3561bd48976dbee8dbd4659dad15be85a3e79ace in January 2018
as we now have automatic tests for this bug, it should never be re-introduced unnoticed.
I'll also continue to audit the code for other similar bugs.
Updated by laforge almost 6 years ago
- Checklist item do a thorough audit of all lchan->conn dereferences set to Done
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
A manual audit of the code concludes that there appear to be no other bugs that dereference lchan->conn or even lchan->conn->fi without proper checks. It might be useful to re-audit the upcoming lchan_fsm changes by neels

Hi Neels / Support,
As of now the segfault error is resolved. But we are encountering another issue in SDCCH channel not being release immediately if "CONNECTION FAIL in state ACTIVE CAUSE=0x01(Radio Link Failure)" error is experience.
May we know how long does the OSMO-BSC holds the SDCCH channel if this error occurs? or Does it really release the SDCCH channel or not?

Hi Neels / Support,
Hi there -- osmocom.org is an open community, if you want to address dedicated support, you need to contact a commercial support vendor. Also, rather direct questions and issues to the general community instead of individual members. Thanks!

Please try to avoid mixing separate issues in the same ticket. Feel free to create a new ticket for any problem you encounter.

While I'm here, even though it does not belong here, let me mention that osmo-bsc is currently being refactored (almost done), to use well-defined FSMs and catch a few holes of missing cleanup/release. You may try to run osmo-bsc from branch neels/inter_bsc_ho to see whether the failure to release still occurs on that branch, most likely it is fixed there. The proper course of action would be to find a ticket that describes your error or create a new one, then report there whether the branch fixes it or not. Thanks!
