When reopening log files, Ceph's OSD could end up writing data to the wrong file descriptor.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When reopening log files, Ceph's OSD could end up writing data to the wrong file descriptor.

  • Log::reopen_log_file() must take the flusher lock to avoid closing an fd ::_flush() is still using.

  • This could result in lost log entries, or it could result in the log being written to a file descriptor which has been opened by the filestore. The latter case could cause data corruption.
