+Subject: libceph: handle an empty authorize reply
+
+From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com>
+
+commit 0fd3fd0a9bb0b02b6435bb7070e9f7b82a23f068 upstream.
+
+The authorize reply can be empty, for example when the ticket used to
+build the authorizer is too old and TAG_BADAUTHORIZER is returned from
+the service. Calling ->verify_authorizer_reply() results in an attempt
+to decrypt and validate (somewhat) random data in au->buf (most likely
+the signature block from calc_signature()), which fails and ends up in
+con_fault_finish() with !con->auth_retry. The ticket isn't invalidated
+and the connection is retried again and again until a new ticket is
+obtained from the monitor:
+
+ libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
+ libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
+ libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
+ libceph: osd2 192.168.122.1:6809 bad authorize reply
+
+Let TAG_BADAUTHORIZER handler kick in and increment con->auth_retry.
