Rongsong Shen 1439e2655e fix(raft-ha-core-safety): close 5.10a — WAL segment rotation + endpoint UAF blocking real snapshot catch-up
Chain of fixes needed to get --force-snapshot soak to a real live PASS
(raft-ha-core-safety task 5.10a / ha-entity-snapshots task 7.1):

1. WAL segment rotation was gated on a hardcoded 64MB compile-time
   constant; trim_wal_segments() never deletes the active (currently-open)
   segment. At soak job counts a segment never rotated, so nothing was
   ever physically trimmable and ha_evaluate_repl_action always chose
   STREAM_WAL over SEND_SNAPSHOT for an empty-rejoining node. Fixed by
   threading a wal_segment_bytes override through persist_config_t
   (mirrors the --max-wal-records pattern: config.h default, persist.h
   setter, persist.c 3 usage sites + minimum-floor enforcement, 6-point
   CLI wiring through main.c/myconf.h/myapp.c/cluster.c) plus a new
   --wal-segment-bytes CLI flag. run-ha-soak.sh's --force-snapshot mode
   now sets WAL_SEGMENT_BYTES=4096 to force real rotation at soak scale.

2. This unmasked a genuine heap-use-after-free in INVOKE_MSG_HANDLER
   (include/netio.h): the macro calls ep->msg_handler(ep) synchronously
   (not via the vtask dispatcher, so the bug-1298 vtask ref/unref pairing
   doesn't cover it) then writes ep->fsm_in.pkt = NULL. A stale vote-reply
   handler chain (raft_on_vote_reply -> raft_cb_become_follower ->
   endpoint_unref) could drop the endpoint's last ref and free it inside
   the handler call, so the trailing write hit freed memory. This is the
   first-ever live exercise of a node receiving a snapshot transfer while
   mid-election. Fixed by holding a ref across the synchronous call, same
   pattern task 5.8 established for the async path.

With both fixes: --force-snapshot soak now PASSES live (committed
divergence=0, job_loss=0, confirmed real "HA: snapshot" install on the
restarted node) — first genuine live proof of this scenario. 3-round
--chaotic regression clean. Full 217-test controller suite green
before/after every fix in the chain.

Builds on the delaymgr starvation fix (b9ad018) and walcompare
checkpoint-floor fix (f3c86a6) from earlier in this investigation.

1. commit 规则

  • 每个人 fork 自己的 branch, 从自己的 branch 做 PR,review 完再 commit

2. code format

2.1. C

推荐使用 clang-format,公共配置放在源码里面 xce/.clang-format

(理论上直接使用源码里面 xce/.clang-format 文件格式不会变)

2.1.1. vscode 可以在配置中加上如下内容

"C_Cpp.clang_format_style": "WebKit",
"C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "WebKit",

2.1.2. vim & emacs

clang-format -style="{BasedOnStyle: webkit}" -i XX.c

2.2. golang

使用默认 gofmt

3. build environment and build (example of ubuntu)

3.1 build environment

  • Install nix package management tool
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
  • Edit /etc/nix/nix.conf to make sure
experimental-features = nix-command flakes
sandbox = true
sandbox-fallback = false
substituters = https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/nix-channels/store https://cache.nixos.org https://cache.nixos.org/
trusted-users = root <your account>

make sure that you have restarted nix-daemon service after you have changed /etc/nix/nix.conf

  • Install socat and config ssh (for clone by ssh protocol)
nix profile add nixpkgs#socat

.ssh/config

Host gitea.shenrs.eu
	HostName gitea.shenrs.eu
	IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
	ProxyCommand socat - openssl-connect:gitea.shenrs.eu:2022,snihost=gitea.shenrs.eu,verify=0

3.2 checkout source code

3.3 build (for package and release)

cd xce/src

# for build debug version
nix build --option sandbox false .#xcecore_debug

# for normal build
nix build --option sandbox false .#xcecore

You can find the generated binaries at =result= directory

3.4 build (for daily develop)

cd xce/src
nix develop

# using meson to generated build configuration (debug and address sanitize)

meson setup build --buildtype=debug -Db_sanitize=address

# run meson to build
meson compile -C  build

# The generated files will be in build/

3.5 build AppImage package

cd xce/src
nix bundle --bundler github:ralismark/nix-appimage --option sandbox false .#xce

This will create all in one AppImage file which contains everything for package delivery.

4. misc

4.1. Windows remap ctrl and alt key

create a reg file, e.g. remapkey.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,38,00,1d,00,1d,00,38,00,38,e0,1d,e0,1d,e0,38,e0,00,00,00,00

then double click remapkey.reg to import it. Restart OS.
