Fix rx_EndCall error precedence
Callers of rx_EndCall in various parts of the code handle errors a bit
differently from each other. The correct way to use rx_EndCall is
almost always some form of:
code = rx_EndCall(call, code);
This will cause the call to abort with 'code' if the call is not
already aborted, and will return the abort code for the call (or 0 if
the call ended successfully). It is thus impossible for 'code' to
start out with a non-zero value in the code snippet above, and end up
with a value of 0 after the code snippet.
Most code follows this pattern, because this is how the
rxgen-generated client RPC wrappers are written. So for any non-split
Rx call, this is how the error precedence works.
However, some code (mostly for Rx split calls), needs to handle
calling rx_EndCall itself, and some code appears to think it is
possible for rx_EndCall to return 0 when we already had a non-zero
error. Such code tries to ensure that we don't ignore an error we
already got by doing something like this:
code2 = rx_EndCall(call, code);
if (code2 && !code) {
code = code2;
}
However, this is not correct. If a call gets killed with an abort code
partway through executing an RPC, and the client tries to end the RPC
with e.g. EndRXAFS_FetchData, the client will get an error code of
-451 (RXGEN_CC_UNMARSHAL). The actual error code is in the abort code
for the call, but with the above 'code2' snippet, we can easily return
an error of -451 instead, which will usually get interpreted as some
unknown network-related error.
This can manifest as a problem in the unix client, where if a
FetchData call fails due to, for example, an "idle dead" timeout, we
should result with an error code of RX_CALL_TIMEOUT. But because of
the above issue, we'll instead yield an error of -451, causing the
server to be marked down with the following message:
afs: Lost contact with file server ... (code -451) ...
So, fix most rx_EndCall callers to follow the 'code = rx_EndCall(call,
code);' pattern. Not all of the changes here are to "wrong" code, but
try to make all of the rx_EndCall call sites look more consistent.
There are a few exceptions to this pattern, which warrant some
variations:
- A few instances in src/WINNT/afsd/cm_dcache.c do seem to want to
record the original error before we ran rx_EndCall, instead of
seeing the rx abort code. We still return the rx_EndCall-returned
value to the caller, though.
- Any caller of RXAFS_FetchData* needs to read a 'length' raw from
the rx split stream. If this fails, we need to abort the call, but
we don't really have an error code to give to rx_EndCall. Failure
to read a length indicates that the server is not following
protocol properly, so give rx_EndCall RX_PROTOCOL_ERROR in these
instances. The call should already be aborted by this point, so
most of the time this code will be ignored; it will only make a
difference if the server tries to end the call successfully without
sending a length, which is indeed a protocol error.
- Some Rx clients can encounter a local error they don't want to send
to the server via an abort, so they just end the call successfully,
and only use the rx abort code if they don't already have a local
error. This is in a few places like src/butc/dump.c and
src/volser/vsprocs.c.
- Several places don't care what the error from rx_EndCall is, such
as various call sites in server-side code.
The behavior of the Windows client w.r.t rx_EndCall was changed a bit
into its current behavior in commit
a50fa631cad6919d15721ac2c234ebbdda2b4031 (ticket 125018), which just
appears to be wrong. This was partially reverted by commit
ae7ef5f5b963a5c8ce4110a7352e0010cb6cdbc1 (ticket 125351), but some of
the other call sites were unchanged. The Unix client appears to have
been doing this incorrectly for at least FetchData calls since OpenAFS
1.0.
To make it hopefully more clear that rx_EndCall cannot return 0 if
given a non-zero error code, add an assert to rx_EndCall that asserts
that fact.
