Description

I can confim 6.0 breaks scp for me. I was running 6.0 on both the client and server, scp would stall after only copying a few kilobytes. After downgrading back to 5.9 for both the client and server, files again transfer normally. Before: $ scp DVD.iso server:/srv/media/backups/ DVD.iso 0% 256KB 0.0KB/s 99.2KB/s - stalled -^CKilled by signal 2. After: $ scp DVD.iso inti:/srv/media/backups/ DVD.iso 100% 2858MB 45.4MB/s 51.3MB/s 01:03 Client emerge --info: Portage 2.2.0_alpha101 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.15-r1,

rsync over ssh (rsync -e ssh) hangs to. Just to notice: downgrading server side to 5.9 is sufficient to make it works again. It seems not to be a client issue. Here on x86 I can confirm strange rsync behavior with openssh-6.0 as well. Particularly, it seems that when the machine that receives the files via rsync is running openssh-6.0, things will hang, regardless of what version the machine that "pushes" the files runs (this also happens when both source and target machine run openssh-6.0). What seems to work for me under all circumstances is using rsync in a "fetch" mode of operation, i.e. running it on the target machine and "fetching" the files from the source, instead of running it on the source and "pushing" the files to the target. That seemed to work with any combination of 6.0 and 5.x versions I had around, so at least there seems to be an easy workaround (at least easy in my case. ;-)) post `emerge -pv openssh`. if people are using hpn, try turning it off. without hpn useflag it seems to be fine indeed.

Indeed, hpn was was enabled here, and re-emerging without hpn seems to fix this, according to the first few tests I've made. I can confirm that this happens to me too on amd64. My problem is with sftp file transfers. Emerging without hpn indeed solves the problem. Since so many people report that openssh 6.0_p1 breaks scp/sftp transfers, maybe the hpn flag shouldn't be set as default in the ebuild or at least a warning should be added. I had a "hanging" unison over ssh (amd64). I fixed it by changing just the TcpRcvBufPoll Option /etc/ssh/sshd_config # the following are HPN related configuration options # tcp receive buffer polling. disable in non autotuning kernels #TcpRcvBufPoll yes TcpRcvBufPoll no Is there a kernel config for this "autotuning"? 'TcpRcvBufPoll no' fixed the hangs for me as well. I'm running openssh 6.0p1 with hpn enabled. I have tried the -hpn fix but this discussion also seems to effect files transfers and I found it to work as well when (hpn was set) .. is there some interection between these two issues that may be relevent? http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-923080-highlight-.html openssl version effecting openssh transfers as well ... I have a cronjob that performs a nightly incremental backup over an SSH connection by piping output from xfsdump into "ssh <user>@<server-host> 'cat > <backup-path>'". That is, the ssh client executes 'cat' on the server with a redirection into a file. This has worked for years, but upon upgrading the server to openssh-6.0_p1 (from 5.9_p1-r4), the transfer hangs every time. The hang has occurred every night since I upgraded the server. I have to manually SIGTERM the 'ssh' client process every time. The bizarre thing is that running the same backup command from a terminal during the daytime has worked every time; I have only seen the hang when the command runs from cron (i.e., without an attached terminal). I tried setting ServerAliveInterval to 15 seconds in the client's SSH config, but that had no effect on the hang. I am going to try disabling TcpRcvBufPoll on the server to see if that resolves the problem. * Found these USE flags for net-misc/openssh-6.0_p1: U I + + X : Adds support for X11 - - X509 : Adds support for X.509 certificate authentication + + hpn : Enable high performance ssh - - kerberos : Adds kerberos support - - ldap : Add support for storing SSH public keys in LDAP - - libedit : Use the libedit library (replacement for readline) - - pam : Adds support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) - DANGEROUS to arbitrarily flip - - skey : Enable S/Key (Single use password) authentication support - - static : !!do not set this during bootstrap!!

I think I spoke too soon. The SSH connection by my cronjob has been hanging at a bit over 100 KB into the transfer, whereas my manual backup has been completing, but today my manual backup got to 413 MB and is now hung. So I guess the presence or absence of a tty is not important to this bug. This bug is definitely not limited to PPC. *** Bug 417373 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** It seems to me the best possible solution would be to mask "openssh-6.0" untill this issue is solved. Turning of hpn removes the issue for me. I think either 6.0 should be masked or just mask hpn useflag on 6.0. I am hitting it on x86_64 boxes, thats critical as the connections hangs. Glad this has been pinpointed, I was having these issues with unison, rsync and (possibly) scp in recent weeks. Not done a comprehensive test yet but TcpRcvBufPoll = no has allowed consistent operation so far. Some things I've observed while doing my own testing: - When using unison and rsync, the hangs seemed to be caused by transferring certain files in particular. (Unfortunately I can't share these for business reasons but am trying to investigate further.) - In these cases, invoking ssh with "-C" (compression) option seemed to help, though it did not prevent hanging in every case. This could be down to the apparent "bad file" (or rather some "bad byte" within it) being obfuscated, at least in part. - The scp case was one I'd not considered as linked to the others until now, but I did experience stalling when transferring over wifi with poor signal. The same operation over 10/100 wired connection went fine, and the unison job fails less often over LAN than WAN. Perhaps link quality/bandwidth is also an issue? Update: "TcpRcvBufPoll = no" did NOT fix the issue in the situation I originally encountered it (win7 native unison with cygwin ssh). Again, it hangs on the same file as before. Furthermore, having to bail from the program leaves it unable to complete a subsequent run even if I re-add the -sshargs="-C" flag to the unison profile; I then have to delete the archive-files for the profile at both ends and run the profile "from scratch" (and with -C) in order to complete it. (Sidenote: I assume here that /etc/init.d/sshd restart will have enacted the changed sshd_config; please advise if that's wrong.) I'll try rebuilding openssh with -hpn to see if that makes a difference, but the TcpRcvBufPoll directive alone certainly hasn't nailed it in my case. OK, USE="-hpn" has (after first trial) solved it here too. Just to clarify my previous post, Win7 native unison and cygwin ssh is the client end; server is openssh-6.0_p1 on Gentoo amd64. Cygwin rsync over ssh on the same client was puking on the same file too. Although no real description is given here this sounds like what we are observing with rsync and sftp with openssh-5.9_p1-r4 and 6.0_p1. File transfers randomly hang until the client is killed. They hang more often then naught. (In reply to comment #23) > Although no real description is given here Sorry about that I just didn't notice there was a whole lot more scrolling to do. We have these issues going from Gentoo to Gentoo with same version client and server plus we have other clients running different versions of OpenSSH on different platforms which also have the problem. (In reply to comment #23) Why would you CC amd64@ here? Nothing for them to do here. Removing from CC. (In reply to comment #23) > Although no real description is given here this sounds like what we are > observing with rsync and sftp with openssh-5.9_p1-r4 and 6.0_p1. Also affects unison, even when that doesn't use rsync, so add that to the list. With unison, at least for me it only affected one side of the communication: for a link established from Windows TO the Gentoo machine, only the bulk data transfer in the SENDING direction, i.e. TOWARDS the Gentoo machine, was affected. Even when that got stalled, the other direction seemed to work as intended. Perhaps this helps. should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

This bug got much more obvious recently but I think I have been seeing it intermittently for about a year. For a test last week I downgraded to openssh-5.9_p1-r4, which uses hpn v11, and the problem persisted. So I am reluctant to call this one fixed.

I am also noticing this in piping files to a program invoked on an openssh-5.9_p1-r4[hpn] server (from an outdated openssh-5.8_p1-r1[hpn] client). I can’t control the server so I’m using the “Compression yes” workaround for this host and that seems to reliably skirt the issue. |
