Bug description:
It is impossible to run ceph cluster built of nodes over different
architectures. Specifically, when monitor node is built on s390 box,
and at least one OSD node is built on x86_64 box. Or vice versa: if
monitor node is deployed on x86_64, and OSD node on s390.
How to reproduce:
Build a hybrid ceph cluster. Bootstrap a monitor node over s390
machine and a number of OSD nodes. At least one of OSD nodes should be
built on a box of different architecture (x86_64). Start a ceph-
manager and a monitor daemon on the monitor node. Then start the OSD
daemon on the OSD node over x86_64. The OSD daemon crashes.
The problem was investigated with the following hardware and software
of the same version on all nodes:
Monitor node: s390
OSD node: x86_64
ceph git repository with the top in
cda8c83330ed35e47266feb35e4e3f960ad10c40 (octopus) plus a separate
applied patch at commit 31da17378b712542e915adbf4084e0212b8bb61
Immediate reason of the crash was identified as checksums
mismatch at ./src/osd/OSD.cc:7915 (OSD::handle_osd_map()
To find the reason of the checksums mismatch we made snapshots of
serialized OSD maps sent by monitor node and received by OSD node
by the following way (all steps are in chronological order):
1. Start a monitor (on s390 box)
gdb /usr/bin/ceph-mon
(gdb) b ./src/osd/OSDMap.cc:3064 (OSDMap::encode())
(gdb) run -f --cluster ceph --id node1 --setuser > log
2. Start OSD daemon (on x86 box)
gdb ceph-osd
(gdb) b ./src/osd/OSD.cc:7915 (OSD::handle_osd_map())
(gdb) run -f --no-mon-config --cluster ceph --id 2 > log
3. Monitor breaks:
(gdb) p crc
$1 = 4088430296
(gdb) p bl.hexdump(cout, false)
Output stored in the file log.4088430296-mon
(gdb) c
4. OSD breaks:
(gdb) p inc.full_crc
$1 = 4088430296
(gdb) p fbl.hexdump(cout, false)
Outpuf stored in the file log.4088430296-osd
(gdb) c
[...]
Segmentation fault (because of checksums mismatch (at
./src/osd/OSD.cc:7915)
Then snapshot were compared with the following result:

After comparing snapshots we can see that 12 bytes at offset
00000e40 and last 4 bytes at offset (00000e50 + 10) differ.
Last 34 bytes started at offset 00000e40 I identified as following:

--------------
Difference in the following fields is the concern:
. nearfull_ratio
. full_ratio
. backfillfull_ratio
On x86 we can see bf 80 00 00 in all three fields. It is interesting
that those bytes happen to be the **big-endian** encoding of the
floating point value -1, even though we're here on the little-endian
system.
This allows to make an assumption that the underlying bug is that
floating-point values are not appropriately byte-swapped when encoded
into a buffer on a big-endian machine. Checking sources at
src/include/encoding.h:
...
WRITE_RAW_ENCODER(float)
WRITE_RAW_ENCODER(double)
...
confirms that assumption. Indeed, the "RAW_ENCODER" just dumps bytes
without conversion. This should at least to be an endian byte swap.
The fixup from Ulrich Weigand implements the endian-swap when encoding/decoding floating-point types and fixes the problem. Sent to upstream:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/36992
As mentioned above, the fix for this issue landed upstream at PR:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/36992
which was backported to Octopus (15.2.x) release at PR:
https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/37032
This backported patch seems to be applied cleanly in ceph-15.2.3 at
focal-updates git tree at :
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/log/?h=applied/ubuntu
/focal-updates
Please apply the backported patch to this tree. Thanks.
