status update:
1, the request is just change between ll_prep_inode and ll_open_cleanup, for the MDT_BODY is also retrieved in ll_prep_inode
2, in ll_prep_inode, ll_iget failed with -EIO, then the related FID could be a directory, and the GET_ATTR request to other MDTs failed

It's not clear where the request is modified, and it could be changed by the replay, but there is no "P" flags in the request,
and I also try to reproduce the problem by replaying the request before ll_open_cleanup use it, but failed to reproduce.

[Hongchao Zhang]

the related request has been actually failed with -ENOTCONN(-107), then there is not reply fields (Reply's bufcount is 1, only contains
PTLRPC_BODY) in the request, still looking why the failed request can go to the "ll_prep_inode/ll_open_cleanup".

My apologies there's a typo in the description field above (I corrected it). The build under test was b2_8 rc5 and had been downloaded from Jenkens job lustre-2_8 . The debuginfo RPMs can be found at lhn.lola.hpdd.intel.com:/scratch/rpms/20160309/notinstalled/server/x86_64.

[Oleg Drokin]

Frank - are these builds using the RC5 RPM or do you self-build them from tip of whatever branch? Because it says "build '20160302'", but if you self build it does not help us and you need to put debuginfo vmlinux and debuginfo modules alongside the crashdumps

[Peter Jones]

Hongchao

Can you please look into this? Oleg has suggested that you should

1) add error handling
2. figure out why the request reply does not have what we think it should have inside

Thanks

Peter

The actual problem here is two lines above the crash:

<3>LustreError: 201682:0:(layout.c:2025:__req_capsule_get()) @@@ Wrong buffer for field `mdt_body' (2 of 1) in format `LDLM_INTENT_OPEN': 0 vs. 216 (server)
<3>  req@ffff880e244a90c0 x1528368254991312/t489629526959(489629526959) o101->soaked-MDT0001-mdc-ffff88082dd02c00@192.168.1.108@o2ib10:12/10 lens 840/192 e 1 to 0 dl 1457697328 ref 2 fl Complete:R/4/0 rc -107/-107

This then causes the crash because:

void ll_open_cleanup(struct super_block *sb, struct ptlrpc_request *open_req)
{
        struct mdt_body                 *body;
        struct md_op_data               *op_data;
        struct ptlrpc_request           *close_req = NULL;
        struct obd_export               *exp       = ll_s2sbi(sb)->ll_md_exp;
        ENTRY;

        body = req_capsule_server_get(&open_req->rq_pill, &RMF_MDT_BODY);  <=== Returns NULL due to message above
        OBD_ALLOC_PTR(op_data);
        if (op_data == NULL) {
                CWARN("%s: cannot allocate op_data to release open handle for "
                      DFID"\n",
                      ll_get_fsname(sb, NULL, 0), PFID(&body->mbo_fid1));

                RETURN_EXIT;
        }

        op_data->op_fid1 = body->mbo_fid1;       <==== Whoops!
