#601 multi master replication allows schema violation
Closed: wontfix None Opened 11 years ago by lkrispen.

If an attribute is required by the schema any attempt to delete all values will fail without replication or on a single master.
But if the attribute has two values it is possible to simultaneously delete one value on one master and the other value on the other master - the individual operation is allowed as one value remains. After the two masters have replayed their changes to each other bot values have disappeared.

Does this leak lmods? lmods is not freed, and it is overwritten.

good catch, it should have been:

slapi_mods_init_passin(&smods, lmods);

There is a problem with this solution. In fractional replication it might be accepted that on the consumer side entries can violate the schema because required attributes are not replicated.
This is itself problematic for fractional replication between masters, so I am not sure how to procede.

I verified that with the change in comment#8 there is no memory leak. lmods is taken from the pblock, slapimods_add_string it is reallocated an then set back to the pblock. The test was also run with valgrind and didn't show a leak.

After some discussion we cam to the conclusion that fractional replication should not be used to allow schema violations, so it is ok to check the schema for replicated mods.

Is it ok now to commit ?
