Description Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2020-01-20 00:38:08 UTC
Backstory: Trying to run an emerge operation over an NFSv4 link to a NAS running FreeBSD.  Still working bugs out on the uid/gid mapping for the NFSv4 exports.  When attempting to update the sys-devel/gnuconfig package, portage tried changing the permissions on a file in the image directory and received "invalid argument" back from the NFS server.  This somehow led to a pdb.set_trace() call in asyncio_event_loop:81, in the _internal_caller_exception_handler function.

I assume this is a leftover from a debugging session that probably needs to be removed.  Additionally, in `apply_permissions' in portage/util/__init__.py, around line 1097, portage really should handle an errno.EINVAL case from the filesystem, such as can be encountered on NFS mounts that are still a bit goofy with permission mappings.

As far as I can determine, portage attempted to chown a directory, "/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/gnuconfig-20190912/image/usr" with uid=-1/gid=0, which failed.  It looks like '-1' is a default argument passed to uid, so my guess is the `_post_src_install_uid_fix' function in portage/package/ebuild/doebuild.py did not handle a particular scenario.  I am only lightly skimming that function, but nothing immediately stands out as a probable cause right now.

Traceback:

Comment 1 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2020-01-20 01:12:12 UTC
I think this bit of code is questionable.  In 'portage/package/ebuild/doebuild.p', lines 2182 to 2195 (indents removed):

    if mystat.st_uid != portage_uid and \
            mystat.st_gid != portage_gid:
            continue
    myuid = -1
    mygid = -1
    if mystat.st_uid == portage_uid:
            myuid = inst_uid
    if mystat.st_gid == portage_gid:
            mygid = inst_gid
    apply_secpass_permissions(
            _unicode_encode(fpath, encoding=_encodings['merge']),
            uid=myuid, gid=mygid,
            mode=mystat.st_mode, stat_cached=mystat,
            follow_links=False)

The first if statement is intended to deal with cases where file_uid != portage_uid AND file_gid != portage_gid.  In my case, the uid doesn't match (uid:0 != portage_uid:250), but gid (gid:250 == portage_gid:250) DOES, so this check silently fails and allows myuid/mygid to be initialized to '-1'.

The next two if statements independently check uid and gid, and set them to the portage_uid/portage_gid value if they match.  Since the first check was skipped over, myuid remains at '-1', while mygid gets set to '0', and thus get passed down to the lower functions (apply_secpass_permissions), and we end up running into the pdb.set_trace() function call.

This is probably the wrong fix, but changing the first if statement from 'and' to 'or:

    if mystat.st_uid != portage_uid or \
            mystat.st_gid != portage_gid:
            continue

Avoids the exception happening in portage itself (and the pdb.set_trace() call).  I still have to fix the permissions problems on my NFS server, but portage will at least fail gracefully with meaningful errors:

>>> Install sys-apps/debianutils-4.9.1 into /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/debianutils-4.9.1/image

The 'and' logic is a requirement of PMS section 13.2.1:

https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-14100013.2.1

The most recent change to the logic was to make it comply with PMS here:

This makes sense, thanks for the link.  I found a setting I missed on my NFS server which fixed the underlying permission issue, and the existing portage logic seems to work fine now.

What about the pdb.set_trace() call?  Should that be there?  I assumed it was a left over debugging thing, hence the bug.

And what about a case for handling errno.EINVAL?  This seems to be a common return code from chown/chgrp/install when failing to change permissions on some misconfigured NFS exports.

Comment 6 Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2020-05-03 09:21:01 UTC
I was just about to file a new bug and I found this, I feel it is the same, but trigger was different. I had a waiting for confirmation `emerge -a` (hours overnight) and I am guessing `emerge-sync` was ran by cron and removed some files. When I hit `y` this is what happened:

2020-05-02 22:29 $ emerge -Datuvq --keep-going y @world -a -N

2020-05-03 11:03 $ emerge --version
Portage 2.3.89 (python 3.7.7-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1, gcc-9.3.0, glibc-2.30-r8, 5.6.7-r13 x86_64)

apparently 3.5.1 of dev-libs/nettle was replaced with -r1

So, handling better missing ebuilds should be the answer. Given that I was running with `--keep-going y` I'd expect this ebuild to be skipped with error and the process continue.

I am looking at the linked commits, but not sure they will cover this trigger... hmm, I guess the test will be to run `emerge -a something`, wait till prompt, delete an ebuild in another session and press `y`. I am running stable portage and there is no upgrade for that yet.

In order to safely run emerge --sync in a cron job, you need to enable sync-rcu and set sync-rcu-store-dir in repos.conf. It's documented in the emerge man page (this was bug 662070).

I mean the portage man page. Search for sync-rcu:
