DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC84265 Status: Closed

DB2 MAY PANIC DURING ATTEMPT TO UNFIX (SQLBUFIX) A PAGE FROM BUFFERPOOL

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
When INSPECTing a damaged object DB2 may read bad pages into the 
bufferpool without detecting them. 
 
This happens with pages that belong to the same object and 
therefore look like a valid page. 
The actual corruption is the data pages being out of sync with 
the objects EMPs. 
 
A possible sequence of events that may result in the above 
corruption and instance PANIC is: 
- a not logged operation (NLI) against an object is 
aborted/rolled back 
- the object is in drop pending state after the NLI operation 
- INSPECT with option ERROR STATE ALL is executed against the 
object 
- error SQL1224N is hit and instance is brought down 
 
A possible stack may look like following: 
 
 ... 
 sqlb_panic 
 sqlbufix 
 dartCall_sqlbUnFixPage 
 dartUnfixPage 
 dartScanDAT 
 dartScanTable 
 dartScanTablespace 
 dartInspect 
 
This APAR will ensure DB2 detects the corruption upon fixing the 
page (sqlbfix) instead of successfully loading it into 
bufferpool and fail upon releasing/unfixing the page from 
bufferpool.

Local Fix:
1) For objects with questionable states, do not use the FOR 
ERROR STATE ALL clause with INSPECT. 
2) For objects with questionable states, use db2dart to inspect 
them.
