Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-1021:
--------------------------------------------
The {{getState()}} method is pretty straightforward : it just check the session
{{SelectionKey}}, and return {{OPENING}} when we have none, {{OPENED}} when
it's valid and {{CLOSING}} when it's not valid. What *could* happend is that
the method returns {{OPENED}} but the session is not anymore in this state when
we check the status, because something happened in the meantime.
That does not matter too much because whatever the returned status could be,
it's too late in the {{removeSessions()}} to deal with the session removal,
escpecially when we have got an exception. This is typically a case where we
should absolutely clean the session while we are processing the exception,
because otherwise, nothing will do it...
> MINA-CORE does not remove sessions if exceptions occur while closing

> Key: DIRMINA-1021
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-1021
> Project: MINA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8
> Environment: mina-ssh 0.14.0
> mina-core 2.0.8
> Multiple OSes / Java configurations:
> * Mac OS X El Capitan on Java 8 (1.8.0_60)
> * CentOS 6.4 on Java 8 (1.8.0_60)
> * CentOS 6.5 on Java 8 (1.8.0_20-b26).

> MINA SSHD isn't removing sessions when using the MINA/NIO backend if an
> exception as received as the session is closing (such as a connection reset
> is received with data still in the write buffer). When this case happens, it
> seems that {{NioProcessor.getState}} returns the state as {{CLOSING}} (I'm
> assuming since the underlying channel is now closed), which means that the
> {{AbstractPollingIoProcessor.removeSessions()}} won't ever prune the session,
> since a {{CLOSING}} state is simply ignored. The result is a resource leak
> over time, since these sessions are never pruned (it's a slow leak, since
> entering this condition is racy – on my workstation, I can produce it through
> randomly interrupting connections anywhere from 1/6 to 1/10th of the time).
> (This may either be major or critical; reprioritize as necessary.)
> I specifically see this error with Gerrit 2.10.4 and Gerrit 2.11.5 (using
> mina-sshd 0.14.0 / mina-core 2.0.8), and it looks like the code path is
> unchanged in mina-sshd 1.0.0 / mina-core 2.0.9. I was unsure if this is
> specifically a bug in mina-core or, if it's something unique to mina-sshd. My
> local development system runs Mac OS X El Capitan on Java 8 (1.8.0_60), but
> I've also seen this on Linux (CentOS 6.4, again Java 1.8.0_60 and CentOS 6.5
> on Java 1.8.0_20-b26).
> The fix may be as simple as attempting to remove the session if {{OPENED}} or
> {{CLOSING}}, but I'm unsure what side-effects this may have with other
> backends. I'll be happy to test it locally, but I'm fairly ignorant when it
> comes to MINA's code.
> The attached patch (to mina-core) seems to resolve the issue by following the
> reproduction case I have on the [Gerrit issue
> tracker|https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/issues/detail?id=3685].
