NFS4ERR_EXPIRED - Linux NFS client bug (fixed)

Another blog entry saved as draft for a long time and waiting to be published... better late than never, so let's do it now.
Over three years ago I found a bug in Linux nfs v4.0 client which results in applications temporarily not being able to open a file and getting an error. While this is due to a bug in the nfs v4.0 client code, depending on a specific nfs server you might or might not hit the issue. For example, both Linux and Solaris NFS servers will trigger the bug, while NetApp/ONTAP won't.

Once I debuged and understood the problem and was able to reproduce it. Then I ended up with a temporary workaround and later submitted two patches to Linux kernel which quickly have been integrated into Linux 5.6 and backported to some older versions (see the patches at the very end of this blog entry).

Let's look in more detail at the issue.

btw: some output has been abbreviated and/or modified to remove irrelevant details or to anonymize details.

An application written in java was sometimes failing to open a file with the below exception:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /.../latest.link (Input/output error) 
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method) 
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(FileInputStream.java:195) 
        at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:138) 
        ...

Developers added an retry logic which helped. Usually after few retries the application was able to open the affected file fine. This was happening to different files, at different times on multiple servers. Even to files which were created long time ago (don't get fooled by the java.io.FileNotFoundException).

To understand how a file is accessed by the application (although some other applications were affected too), I wrote the below code based on the affected application.
$ cat Test.java
import java.io.*;
...

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        FileUtils fu = new FileUtils();
        File dir = new File("/mnt/.../indexweights");
        File ft = new File("/tmp/foo");
        try {
            ft = fu.resolveLinkFile(dir);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("IOException: " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            System.out.println("Destination path: " + ft.getAbsolutePath());
        }
    }
}

Let's run it under strace and see what system calls it calls: 
$ strace -tTfv -o /tmp/a -e trace=file,close,read java Test
Destination path: /mnt/...

$ grep -A2 latest.link /tmp/a
4422  15:33:38 open("/mnt/.../indexweights/latest.link", O_RDONLY) = 5 <0.069349>
4422  15:33:38 read(5, "...", 8192) = 11 <0.000010>
4422  15:33:38 close(5)                 = 0 <0.069149>
It is just a simple open() with O_RDONLY followed by read() and close(). Nothing suspicious. The error is happening with open() though, based on the java stack in the app log.
I did run the test program multiple times on affected servers and tried to access the affected files, but couldn't trigger the issue.

We modified one of the affected applications and added a retry logic for failed file opens, we also run part of the application under strace to see what's the actual error reported by open().  Let's see an example output:

$ egrep ' open\(|open resume' .../XXX.out.20190625220935.26281
...
[pid 133595] 22:10:17 open("/mnt/.../latest.link", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
[pid 133595] 22:10:17 <... open resumed> ) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) <0.069362>
...
[pid 133595] 22:10:21 open("/mnt/.../latest.link", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
[pid 133595] 22:10:21 <... open resumed> ) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) <0.069204>
...
[pid 133595] 22:10:29 open("/mnt/.../latest.link", O_RDONLY <unfinished ...>
[pid 133595] 22:10:29 <... open resumed> ) = 192 <0.487662>
The open() failed with EIO two times and then succeeded the third time.
Given these are nfs4 mount points with "hard" mount option we shouldn't be getting EIO though.
When the issue happens no errors reported in system logs.
I also collected network traffic for the above failures.

Looks like nfs session is expiring and asynchronously renewing, failing in the meantime.

$ sudo /var/tmp/syscall-open-stat-filename-regex.stp -g --suppress-time-limits -o /var/tmp/failed_stats_and_opens.log 'XXX.*zip' &
[5] 21855
We caught some errors:
# grep '= -' /var/tmp/failed_stats_and_opens.log
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16043] SyS_open("XXX") = -5 (EIO) : -5
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16078] SyS_open("XXX") = -5 (EIO) : -5
...
Let's look at one java thread:
# grep 16043 /var/tmp/failed_stats_and_opens.log
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16043] SyS_newlstat("/mnt/.../XXX.zip") = 0 : 0
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16043] SyS_newstat("/mnt/.../XXX.zip") = 0 : 0
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16043] SyS_newstat("/mnt/.../XXX.zip") = 0 : 0
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16043] SyS_newstat("/mnt/.../XXX.zip") = 0 : 0
Tue Nov 12 17:11:02 2019 java[16043] SyS_open("/mnt/.../XXX.zip") = -5 (EIO) : -5
So within the same second it stat'ed the file multiple times just fine (1x lstat() + 3x stat()) only to get EIO on open().
Let's look at tcpdump capture:
# tcpdump -n -r /var/tmp/tcpdump.XXX.out

Few seconds later we see "getattr ERROR: unk 24", and a corresponding error in application error log.
Nothing interesting in system logs on NFS server. However, on the nfs server I was also running:

Let's see log around Nov 12 17:11:02:

...
Notice the op-renew-done errors.
Let's see what these are:
# ggrep -E '10011|10022' /usr/include/nfs/nfs4_kprot.h
        NFS4ERR_EXPIRED = 10011,
        NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID = 10022,
The op-renew-done failure with 10011 (NFS4ERR_EXPIRED) matches the time when the application failed.
The other interesting thing is, that the nfs linux client has gssd running with -t 1800 so it needs to renew creds every 30 minutes.

This seems to be 39s later than 30 minutes between them. Although I didn't catch the successful op-renew-done here.

After some further debugging let's look at the original network dump again.
It calls reaaddir, access, .... to get to final directory and then tries to open file, server responds with NFS4ERR_EXPIRED, client tries again, gets the error again and it seems to give up and move on to other files where the story repeats for each one of them. All directory lookups, readdirs, etc. work fine though. Here is just the open, it's retry and errors for the first file that failed:

Notice that it's been issuing RENEW every 60s (fileserver sets the grace period to 90s), and then it hasn't done so for almost 166s which is more than the 90s session timeout requested by server. For sanity let's check when the first NFS4_EXPIRED error happened. The last RENEW before the issue was at 17:09:17 so unless the sessions was renewed (it wasn't) the server should start responding with errors from about 17:10:47. The first NFS4ERR_EXPIRED is recorded at 17:11:02 which is the first OPEN call happening during the time frame.
Looks like a bug in the nfs client.

Let's run some additional debugging.
Network packet capture:
# tcpdump -i aggr1 -w /var/tmp/tcpdump.20191119.out host 10.210.16.12  &
Let's trace all checks for nfsv4 lease expire and record all cases where it did expire, this is traced on the nfs server:
# dtrace -q -n fbt::rfs4_lease_expired:entry' {self->cp=args[0];}' 
                     -n fbt::rfs4_lease_expired:return'
                        /arg1 && self->cp/
                        {this->s=(struct sockaddr_in *)&self->cp->rc_addr;
                         printf("%Y %s client_ip: %s client_id: %x forced_expire: %d last_access: %u dt: %d rfs4_lease_time: %d ret: %d\n",
                                  walltimestamp, probefunc, inet_ntop(this->s->sin_family, (void *)&this->s->sin_addr), 
                                  self->cp->rc_clientid, self->cp->rc_forced_expire, self->cp->rc_last_access,

Still client needs to renew its nfsv4 session as long as the filesystem is mounted, etc.

It's been issuing the RENEW ops at every 60s but then there is a gap of 114s (17:39:03 - 17:40:57) which is more than 90s requested by the server, so the server replies with 10011 (NFS4ERR_EXPIRED). If now an open() happened it would have failed as this client doesn't seem to handle NFS4ERR_RENEW returned by open. Notice that it hits the issue for both server IP addresses at the same time (both served by the same nfs server), that's why there are two RENEW calls. It then starts working again and it starts sending new RENEW calls regularly. It must have issued setclientid to fix the state though, let's check it in the other log with all nfs operations:

It does. So every ~30 minutes or ~1hr the client doesn't issuew RENEW ontime and has to call SETCLIENTID. It seems that if during the window there is an OPEN issued it will get NFS4ERR_EXPIRED and fail as Linux doesn't seem to issue RENEW and then retry the OPEN. I think the file can't be already opened and attributes can't be cached to hit the issue.
Now the question is why Linux is late here to issue RENEW sometimes.

I re-enabled application and it failed, while stap on the nfs client recorded:

nfs4renewd.c /nfs4_renew_state() prints “failed to call renewd. Reason: lease not expired” and later dprintk("%s: requeueing work. Lease period = %ld\n", func, (timeout + HZ - 1) / HZ);
Prints 57s, this suggests 3s before fsinfo() was run on the server, if solaris wouldn’t renew lease on fsinfo() then RENEW wouldn’t be send by nfs4_renew_state() and the client would end up without a lease and would have to renew.
I used stap to confirm it.
nfs4proc.c /nfs4_do_fsinfo() nfs4_do_open() -> _nfs4_do_open() -> nfs4_recover_expired_lease() -> nfs4_client_recover_expired_lease() -> test_bit(NFS4CLNT_LEASE_EXPIRED) 10 times in a loop, if not set return EIO
The only thing which will set the bit is nfs4renewd.c/nfs4_renew_state() but if something else is modifying clp->cl_last_renewal and casing nfs4_renew_state() not to set the bit, then open() won’t recover. We do see the dprintk("%s: requeueing work. Lease period = %ld\n"… printed by nfs4_schedule_state_renewal() with value of 57 (and others) which means 3s before something updated cl_last_renewal.
Now nfs4_do_fsinfo() calls nfs4_set_lease_period().

So what happens here is that Linux will unmount cross-mountpoints after /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nfs_mountpoint_timeout which on this server has the default value of 500. Next time anything triggers mounting a cross-mouint linux will send fsinfo() call (nfs4_do_fsinfo()).
For now, assuming the nfs4_do_fsinfo() only gets called on mounting cross-mount (not necesarilly true), to test a possible workaround let's modify linux so it wouldn't unmount sub-mounts for 7 days - on linux client:
# bc
60*60*24*7
604800

# echo 604800 > /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nfs_mountpoint_timeout

# date

# stap -g --ldd --all-modules --suppress-handler-errors -o /var/tmp/nfs4_do_fsinfo.log ./nfs4_do_fsinfo.stp  &

Few seconds before 15:40:41+60s I did:
# umount /mnt/...; ls -l /mnt/.../
ls: cannot open directory /mnt/.../: Permission denied
So now Linux is not going to send RENEW and assume its lease got extended.
At 15:40:41+90s solaris server will assume the client's lease expired, so if we call open between 15:42:11 - 15:42:36 then open should fail:

and it did fail, while when re-run again after linux sent renew then it worked.
Let's confirm solaris did respond with 10011:

Then, at 13:52:33 (13:51:36 + 57s), the client send RENEW operation, and had to recover via SETCLIENTID, etc. and now open() works fine:

The Linux nfs server behaves the same as Solaris nfs server.
The linux is CentOS 7.4 running 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64.
Also reproduced against Solaris 11.4.15.5.0 NFS server.

A workaround on Linux nfs client hosts is to increase sysctl/fs.nfs.nfs_mountpoint_timeout from 500 (default) to max allowed value: 2147483.

I couldn't reproduce the issue against NetApp filers though, some clarification from NetApp support:
Hi Robert,
 
I have gone through this case and your request for explanation on why ONTAP is not throwing “NFS4ERR_EXPIRED” when the lease is expired while other servers does that.
 
Why the Client did not send the RENEW call is client’s behavior and ONTAP cannot control that.
Now on why ONTAP is not throwing “NFS4ERR_EXPIRED” even after lease is expired (30 secs), I believe the RFC has the answer for that.
 
This section explains the behavior of other servers you have tested.
 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7530#section-9.6.3
9.6.3.  Network Partitions and Recovery
If this occurs, the server may cancel
the lease and free all locks held for the client.
 
The following section explains the ONTAP’s behavior.
 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7530#section-9.6.3.1
9.6.3.1.  Courtesy Locks
As a courtesy to the client or as an optimization, the server may
continue to hold locks, including delegations, on behalf of a client
for which recent communication has extended beyond the lease period,
delaying the cancellation of the lease.
 
This section clarifies that both the behaviors can be implemented.
 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7530#section-9.6.3.2
9.6.3.2.  Lease Cancellation
 
As a result of lease expiration, leases may be canceled, either
immediately upon expiration or subsequently, depending on the
occurrence of a conflicting lock or extension of the period of
partition beyond what the server will tolerate.
 
I believe ONTAP is behaving according to the RFC and in more optimized way.
In that case, please let me know if you need any further explanation from our side on the same.
...

Hey Robert,
 
We tested in the lab thoroughly to check for how long we keep the courtesy locks.
 
The courtesy locks will be kept for 2*lease time, if there is no conflicting request from any other client for the same file.
Please note that it might take some more time (40-50 secs) to clear those states from memory as the thread runs periodically to clean that.
 
Yes, they are tunable. As the time depends on lease-time, you can tweak that for a particular NFS server to control the courtesy lock time.
...
Knowing now more how ONTAP behaves I re-created the issue as well, although the behavior is different.
It is easier to cause do_fsinfo() every 10s as it will permanently stop linux client from sending RENEW operation.

So ONTAP responds with NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID instead of NFS4ERR_EXPIRED.

    If we're not yet sure that all state has expired or been revoked, we
    should try to do a minimal recovery on just the one stateid.

The new nfs v4 client behavior in Linux was introduced by https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/83ca7f5ab31f57506bb35482e4b0426be653196a. This is the first time the linux client assumes implicit lease renewal when it calls fsinfio() (getattrs for mounts). The code was later refactored a little bit but latest upstream version still does it (at the time of debugging the issue).


The below two patches I contributed to Linux kernel are now also present in CentOS 8.3 with kernel 4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3 and newer. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/924491f2e476f7234d722b24171a4daff61bbe13
NFSv4: try lease recovery on NFS4ERR_EXPIRED

Currently, if an nfs server returns NFS4ERR_EXPIRED to open(),
we return EIO to applications without even trying to recover.

NFSv4.0: nfs4_do_fsinfo() should not do implicit lease renewals

Currently, each time nfs4_do_fsinfo() is called it will do an implicit
NFS4 lease renewal, which is not compliant with the NFS4 specification.
This can result in a lease being expired by an NFS server.

Commit 83ca7f5 ("NFS: Avoid PUTROOTFH when managing leases")
introduced implicit client lease renewal in nfs4_do_fsinfo(),
which can result in the NFSv4.0 lease to expire on a server side,
and servers returning NFS4ERR_EXPIRED or NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID.

This can easily be reproduced by frequently unmounting a sub-mount,
then stat'ing it to get it mounted again, which will delay or even
completely prevent client from sending RENEW operations if no other
NFS operations are issued. Eventually nfs server will expire client's
lease and return an error on file access or next RENEW.

This can also happen when a sub-mount is automatically unmounted
due to inactivity (after nfs_mountpoint_expiry_timeout), then it is
mounted again via stat(). This can result in a short window during
which client's lease will expire on a server but not on a client.
This specific case was observed on production systems.

This patch removes the implicit lease renewal from nfs4_do_fsinfo().
