Sieve redirect does not collect the sendmail child process correctly (Dovecot 2.3.4.1, Pigeonhole 0.5.4)

Hi,

I got this simple test Sieve config:

#############################################
# Sieve Filter
# Generated by Ingo (http://www.horde.org/apps/ingo/) (11/01/2019, 10:46:06 PM)

# Forwards
if true {
    redirect "krustev at krustev.net";
}
# Forward Keep Action
if true {
    keep;
    stop;
}
#############################################


Which used to work fine with:

  # 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
  # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554)
  # OS: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.11

Then I've tried migrating to:

  # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
  # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 ()
  # OS: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.1

And started getting the following errors:

  # cat .dovecot.sieve.log
  sieve: info: started log at Nov 01 22:55:50.
  error: msgid=<4221584.AlbrL4BjWX at home>: failed to redirect message to
<krustev at krustev.net>: Failed to execute sendmail (temporary failure).

A google search lead me to:

  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56933

which blames systemd service changes:

  NoNewPrivileges=true

, however I'm not running dovecot via systemd but use DJB's daemontools
for
service supervision .

The page above suggested to change from:

  sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail

to

  submission_host = localhost

in "conf.d/15-lda.conf", which worked fine.
But since I don't have other problems with "sendmail" execution
I've decided
to debug this further.

I have dovecot integrated with Qmail:

# apt-cache policy qmail
qmail:
  Installed: 1.06-6+b1
  Candidate: 1.06-6+b1
  Version table:
 *** 1.06-6+b1 900
        900 http://deb.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages

so sendmail's implementation comes from Qmail:

  # ls -al `which sendmail`
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Feb 23  2015 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> qmail-sendmail


I've strace-d the qmail-lspawn process which executes dovecot's LDA,
which
processes the Sieve rules and executes "sendmail".
The sendmail process executes and returns successfully, the mail is delivered,
however the Sieve code does not wait for the child process correctly and tries
to kill the already exited process after 30 seconds timeout.

Here are the problematic Sieve syscalls:

22:55:15.283482 execve("/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver",
["/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver", "-e", "-a",
"tester at krustev.net"], 0x5620b4330c40 /* 61 vars */) = 0

{EPOLLIN|EPOLLPRI|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=47455536, u64=94699781365040}}) = 0

  Dovecot/Sieve will wait for this pipe FD 5 later, but no event will arrive.

The PID 6930 is a call to the setuid qmail-queue, which also executes and
returns normally.


With all the above stated - It seems that the problem is in the
"epoll" calls.
Either it is not set-up correctly or dovecot-LDA does not receive the
information it waits for.

I've tried to make my way trough Dovecot's source code but have
concluded that
someone more familiar should be able to spot the problem much quicker than me.

I think we already know about this issue (tracked as DOP-942). It 
apparently happens because qmail masks the SIGCHLD signal while Dovecot 
doesn't unmask it before waiting for children.

Sieve redirect does not collect the sendmail child process correctly (Dovecot 2.3.4.1, Pigeonhole 0.5.4)

You're right.
Isn't this a simple fix - a call to sigprocmask ?

This should not be a problem in qmail-lspawn/qmail-local as their code
has not been changed for years.
So there should have been a breaking change in Dovecot/Pigeonhole.


What follows is some more debugging from me.

The chain of processes that lead to dovecot-lda and sendmail execution look like
this:

  PID
32457   qmail-lspawn
 6923    qmail-local
 6924     sh -c vlelivermail
 6925      sh -c preline /usr/local/bin/vpop-lda
 6926       vpop-lda(perl script) -> deliver -> doveconf -> deliver
 6927         grep
 6928         pwd
 6929         sendmail -> qmail-inject
 6930           qmail-queue


Just before executing sendmail, dovecot-lda is registering a signal handler for
SIGCHLD:

22:55:15.294647 epoll_create(128)       = 12
22:55:15.294668 fcntl(12, F_GETFD)      = 0
22:55:15.294687 fcntl(12, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
22:55:15.294708 epoll_ctl(12, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 5,
{EPOLLIN|EPOLLPRI|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=47455536, u64=94699781365040}}) = 0
22:55:15.294740 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, {sa_handler=0x7f15404b3640, sa_mask=[],
sa_flags=SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO, sa_restorer=0x7f1540229840}, NULL,
8) = 0
22:55:15.294763 pipe([13, 14])          = 0
22:55:15.294788 clone(child_stack=NULL,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0x7f15401ec2d0) = 6929


Later dovecot-lda checks non-blockingly whether sendmail has exited and waits
for epoll IO event:

22:55:15.295175 wait4(6929, 0x562102d4fee4, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
22:55:15.295211 epoll_wait(12, [], 1, 30000) = 0
22:55:45.325580 kill(6929, SIGTERM)     = 0
22:55:45.325769 epoll_wait(12, [], 1, 5000) = 0
22:55:50.331108 kill(6929, SIGKILL)     = 0


I'm not sure why it is waiting for IO event on FD 5, which is a PIPE FD
initialized much earlier,
with no actual reads/writes on it:

22:55:15.286845 pipe([5, 6])            = 0
22:55:15.286870 fcntl(5, F_GETFL)       = 0 (flags O_RDONLY)
22:55:15.286889 fcntl(5, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
22:55:15.286909 fcntl(6, F_GETFL)       = 0x1 (flags O_WRONLY)
22:55:15.286928 fcntl(6, F_SETFL, O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0

The pipe used for communication with the sendmail child is this:

22:55:15.294763 pipe([13, 14])          = 0
22:55:15.294788 clone(child_stack=NULL,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0x7f15401ec2d0) = 6929
22:55:15.294928 close(13)               = 0
22:55:15.294969 fcntl(14, F_GETFL)      = 0x1 (flags O_WRONLY)
22:55:15.295006 fcntl(14, F_SETFL, O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
22:55:15.295039 lseek(14, 0, SEEK_CUR)  = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
22:55:15.295065 getsockname(14, 0x7ffd59156a40, [28]) = -1 ENOTSOCK (Socket
operation on non-socket)
22:55:15.295109 write(14, "X-Sieve: Pigeonhole Sieve 0.5.4
()\nX-Sieve-Redirected-From: ...", 1461) = 1461
22:55:15.295150 close(14)               = 0
22:55:15.295175 wait4(6929, 0x562102d4fee4, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
22:55:15.295211 epoll_wait(12, [], 1, 30000) = 0
22:55:45.325580 kill(6929, SIGTERM)     = 0




This is the process creation/waiting and signal mask debugging:
