Hi all,

We have found 2 concurrency issues with AVP encoding/decoding when doing load tests.

  1. Ecoding problem causes such exceptions:
2015-08-14 13:47:23,832 DEBUG [org.jdiameter.client.impl.controller.PeerImpl] (TCPReader-1) internalError

And also a BufferOverflow in the end:

        2015-08-14 13:47:23,835 ERROR [org.jdiameter.client.impl.transport.tcp.TCPTransportClient] (TCPReader-1) Buffer overflow occured

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

Problem - encoded/decoded Diameter packets get corrupted (missing child AVPs).

Reason - This is due to the fact that the function getGrouped that converts AvpImpl.java rawData to groupedData is called concurrently when doing encodeAvpSet(). If this is done in the loop before data.write(raw) operation in encodeAvpSet, then all child AVPs could be left unencoded (not written) to the packet (since avp.getRaw().length becomes 0). And since a correct AVP length is written here, the packet gets corrupted.

2.We also obtained a NullpointerException in SessionImpl.java, when doing a release, due to the fact that container concurrently was set to null via setContainer, so this was also fixed. However, don't know what the "// FIXME" is for, but I guess it relates to the same problem.

With this pull I propose a possible fix for this issue. Also to encapsulate more the existing data in AvpImpl.java, i.e. make rawData/groupedData not accessible from outside. ALSO to forbid to swap between rawData/groupedData in runtime, i.e. to not change created AVP.

Hi @tomazas, would you have the time to revisit this PR so it can be merged ? It has a few conflicts now, and some of the changes are already covered in other ways (eg, addPeerName duplicate check is already done with

).

Ideally a PR should solve a specific problem, this way it's easier to review and merge each fix. Feel free to break into smaller PRs if you feel like.

Thanks.

This PR includes several changes:

  • Changes to Avp/AvpSet encoding and decoding due to possible corruption in concurrency scenarios;
    • This issue hasn't been observed recently, even with high load and the proposed fix doesn't work properly as addGroupedAvp returns a different instance of the AVP from what is added, so operations performed on the returned AvpSet are not reflected in the parent;
    • AvpSet messageAvps = message.getAvps();
      AvpSet proxyInfoOne = messageAvps.addGroupedAvp(Avp.PROXY_INFO);
      // the returned proxyInfoOne is a different instance from what was added to messageAvps...
      proxyInfoOne.addAvp(Avp.PROXY_HOST, "one.mobicents.org", true);
      // at this point only proxyInfoOne contains the new Avp, the instance in messsageAvps is still empty```
      
  • Add lock to set/getContainer methods for concurrency issues;
    • This is a safe fix, not causing side-effects, will apply.
  • Log improvements to TCP receive/send to show packets in HEX format;
    • Nice improvement for debugging puproses, will apply.
  • Fix to JMX operation for add Peer to include realm name;
    • Valid issue and fix, will apply.

Will prepare commits with the valid fixes, in case the first issue is observed again we can revisit and try to fix it a better way.
