Doug Kelly commented on DIRMINA-1021:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for your help! I should also add that Gerrit has recently updated to
SSHD-1.0.0 and MINA-2.10 (some other very dedicated developers took care of
resolving all the API changes). That said, if the fix is easily backported to
older SSHD versions, it probably wouldn't hurt, since Gerrit won't have this on
any of the current stable branches (and it would be a pretty major change to
backport the SSHD upgrade to the older branches).
> 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].
