            Bug ID: 1805057
           Summary: [EC] shd crashed while heal failed due to out of
                    memory error.
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: 5
            Status: NEW
         Component: disperse
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1729085 +++

Description of problem:
The main trigger point of this crash is NO memory available for synctasks -
[2019-07-03 15:13:13.801297] A [MSGID: 0] [mem-pool.c:145:__gf_calloc] : no
memory available for size (2097224) current memory usage in kilobytes 5515680
[call stack follows]

As the backtrace suggests ec_heal_throttle tries to launch heal and failed
because it could not create new synctask.

ec_launch_heal calls ec_heal_fail which is sending NULL as an argument which is
being dereferenced.

ec_launch_heal(ec_t *ec, ec_fop_data_t *fop)
{
    int ret = 0;

    ret = synctask_new(ec->xl->ctx->env, ec_synctask_heal_wrap, ec_heal_done,
                       NULL, fop);
    if (ret < 0) {
        ec_fop_set_error(fop, ENOMEM);
        ec_heal_fail(ec, fop);
    }
}

ec_heal_fail is calling ec_getxattr_heal_cbk with op_errno=12 which is ENOMEM
#0  ec_getxattr_heal_cbk (frame=0x7f796de7dd38, cookie=0x0, xl=0x7f6f215e5800,
op_ret=-1, op_errno=12, mask=0, good=0, bad=0, xdata=0x0) at
ec-inode-read.c:399
second argument is NULL which is being dereference 

399         fop_getxattr_cbk_t func = fop->data;

So, while the reason for out of memory could be related to the way shd-mux is
working, we need to fix this code in EC so that we should never dereference
NULL pointer over here.
