Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-1021:
--------------------------------------------
Actually, when an exception is caught, it's propagated to the {{IoHandler}},
which should be in charge to close the session. I suspect this is not done in
SSHD, but I haven't yet looked at the code.
Beside reading the code, and mentally try to imagine what are the possible
paths that could cause the problem, I don't have a lot of clue. What would be
very helpful is a piece of code that demonstrate the issue,, so that I can
debug it.
And, yes, analyzing asynchronous code is *really* complex, those who pretend
that async is the way to go are either genious or are totally ignorant of the
complexity it brings... Most of them enter in the second category, I'm afraid.
Keep in mind that MINA was created to hide this aspect to most of the user, but
sadly, at some point, you might get snapped...
> MINA-CORE does not remove sessions if exceptions occur while closing

> 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].
