Both the Unix and Windows cache managers maintain a set of persistent
client rx_connections ("conns") to the known fileservers for each active
AFS user. These conns are periodically refreshed (destroyed and
possibly rebuilt) approximately NOTOKETIMEOUT (2h) after token
expiration for authenticated (rx_kad) conns, or every NOTOKETIMEOUT (2h)
for anonymous (rx_null) conns.
Both cache managers enable NAT ping for one rx_connection to each known
fileserver. Thus we see this common idiom when a cache manager destroys
a fileserver connection:
rx_SetConnSecondsUntilNatPing(conn, 0);
rx_DestroyConnection(conn);
Doing this for all conns is harmless, even if a given conn doesn't have
NAT ping enabled.
It is important to note that rx_SetConnSecondsUntilNatPing(conn, 0) does
not actually cancel the conn's natKeepAliveEvent (if it has one); it
merely sets conn->secondsUntilNatPing to 0. If there is a
natKeepAliveEvent, this prevents it from being rescheduled after the
next event. This was fine in the past because rx_DestroyConnection
eventually did cancel natKeepAliveEvent and destroy the rx_connection
itself.
However, this idiom broke after commit

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many different machines, but are available to users on every machine. OpenAFS 1.0 was originally released by IBM under the terms of the IBM Public License 1.0 (IPL10). For details on IPL10 see the LICENSE file in this directory. The current OpenAFS distribution is licensed under a combination of the IPL10 and many other licenses as granted by the relevant copyright holders. The LICENSE file in this directory contains more details, thought it is not a comprehensive statement. See INSTALL for information about building and installing OpenAFS on various platforms. See CODING for developer information and guidelines. See NEWS for recent changes to OpenAFS.
