Re: null_callbacks after initial sync

OK, this sounds like the background thread to propagate updates isn't
getting scheduled when it should. That could be a bug in the syncprov
overlay.

Should I file a report, and if so, what information is required from this end?

I've filed this as ITS#5405 and fixed it in CVS HEAD. It would be good if you could test the patch and report your results as a followup to the ITS.


Thanks for the info.  That would certainly point to a problem with my
build environment, or a new bug.
I'm seeing a number of aborts when
testing under high load.  The latest came from running scripted
ldapsearches and ldapmodifies which resulted in a mutex error (or so I
am told by one of our developers).

Specifically:

1) adding about 100 attributes to an entry
2) diffing the output of ldapsearch between the two nodes in loop
3) once synced, grabbing the attributes, shoving them in a temp file
with delete instructions and using that with ldapmodify.

I complied with debugging on which results in an abort with
"connection.c: 676: connection_state_closing: Assertion 'c_struct_state
== 0x02' failed" logged.
Interesting. It would be useful to get a gdb stack trace from that
situation.

Yesterday I was able to successfully reproduce this beahvior at least
three times.  This morning, I was able to reproduce it with the above
steps yet again.  From a gdb session, no backtrace was available,
however.  I then recompiled with debugging enabled and was unable to
reproduce the bug until I added '-d 7' to the run arguments.  It should
be noted that before recompiling, I was able to reproduce the behavior
with and without the command line debug argument.

Here's the stack trace from a gdb session with arguments, -h 'ldap:///
ldaps:///' -d 7

uid=[^,]+,ou=employees,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

Envrionment = CentOS 5 updated to whatever RH thinks is current as of
last week.  Oracle db 4.5.20 and openldap 2.4.7 compiled by hand.

Please let me know if any further information would be helpful.

Your stack trace is a bit odd, because I can't find anywhere in the source tree that uses the function "slap_freeself_cb()". Are you using any custom overlays? It appears that your stack trace is still missing a lot of details. You should compile with -g and without any optimization, and make sure you're testing with the unstripped binary.
