# bug-1886: scheduler leaks the rejected queue on each config re-apply and the old config on each CONFIG_PUSH
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
**Observed:** (code reading)
|
|
- `sched_init_queues()` (src/scheduler/src/scheduler.c) builds a new
|
|
`xce_sched_queue_t` for every configured queue on each config apply and
|
|
`sched_add_queue()`s it; for an existing name the add fails and the new
|
|
queue (with its interned name/resreq) is still handed to the picker but
|
|
owned by nothing.
|
|
- `CONFIG_PUSH` (core_events.c) sets `core->config = config` without freeing
|
|
the previous config.
|
|
|
|
**Expected:** re-applied queues update the existing queue in place (as `core_upsert_queue()` does for QUEUE_UPDATE), and a replaced config is freed once nothing points into it.
|
|
**Impact:** leak per config push/re-apply (one queue per configured queue plus one whole `xce_conf4sched_t`). Freeing the old config needs care: the picker and limit plugin may keep pointers into it. The queue table's datakiller must stay a no-op for as long as `sched_init_queues()` keeps using a rejected queue (bug-1884 found a use-after-free when it freed).
|
|
**Found by:** review (while fixing bug-1884, 2026-09-29)
|
|
|
|
## Environment
|
|
- OS: no /etc/os-release; Docker container; NixOS kernel; kernel Linux 6.18.33 x86_64
|
|
- libc: glibc 2.42-47 (interpreter /nix/store/wb6rhpznjfczwlwx23zmdrrw74bayxw4-glibc-2.42-47/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
|
|
- Toolchain: gcc (GCC) 15.2.0, meson 1.9.1
|
|
- Build: asan (src/xce.build.discrete)
|
|
- Code: scheduler-framework @ 90b99d91-dirty
|
|
- Deployment: n/a (found by code reading while fixing bug-1884; not observed on a deployment)
|
|
|
|
## Reproduction
|
|
1. Read `sched_init_queues()` in src/scheduler/src/scheduler.c and the `XCE_CORE_EVENT_CONFIG_PUSH` case in src/scheduler/src/core_events.c.
|
|
2. Test-level check: `test_config_push_deferred.c` applies a config twice; with a freeing queue killer ASAN reports a heap-use-after-free in `builtin_fcfs_on_queue_update` (seen 2026-09-29 while fixing bug-1884).
|
|
- Frequency: deterministic on every config re-apply
|
|
- Evidence: not kept; code reading plus the test_config_push_deferred UAF seen with a freeing killer
