Hi All:

I am seeing an problem occasionally on stopping a VPS. I see the following symptoms:

1) vzlist -a reports:
VEID NPROC STATUS IP_ADDR HOSTNAME
200 0 running lss-vps140.xx.xx.xx

2) running a top on the host, shows that there is a process "vzmond/200", that is running 100% of the CPU, and has run for over 17 minutes

3) it then ends up with a kernel panic, I captured the screen to a .png file that I (hopefully) have attached, the EIP was
EIP: [<c05b8294>] __ip_route_output_key+0xf7/0x822 SS:ESP 0068:c5df3d90

other info:
uname -a
Linux lss-host40.ih.lucent.com 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1PAE #1 SMP Sat Jun 9 02:27:12 MSD 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

I set up the host as Scientific Linux SL release 4.4 (a recompile of RedHat Enterprise 4.4, just like CentOS 4.4). I seemed to have the same problem when I set up the host as CentOS 5.0 (but I didn't capture the kernel panic, so not sure if it was is the same place).

The VPS is a CentOS 5.0 VPS.

Any other info needed that I can provide?

thanks,
Paul

Hello, do you use NFS on your node?

Seems, that it is the bug report: http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513

Yes, I am running NFS. Sorry, I did a google search before submitting to the forum, but did not see Bug 513 in the results.

Any status on when this bug may be fixed (or, can we provide any further information to help fix it)?

thanks,

Paul

Hi Vasily:

I built the kernel with the patch in the bug report, but it is still failing.

Here is the procedure I used to build the new kernel:

yum -y groupinstall 'Legacy Software Development'
rm -rf /usr/src/*
mkdir -p /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
mkdir -p /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
rpm -ivh ovzkernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-ovz.spec
ln -s /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ovzkernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686 /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 < diff-ve-nfsstop-b-20070704.patch
yum -y install ncurses-devel
make menuconfig
make clean
# edit the Makefile, and change the EXTRAVERSION =
# i.e. EXTRAVERSION = -8.el5.028stab031.1PAE.prj
make -j4 bzImage
make -j4 modules
make modules_install
make install
# edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, to boot the new kernel

I was not able to capture the kernel dump, if I can get one, I will add it to this thread.

Hello, Jochum!

Bug #513 aka
http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513
has been solved in the latest OpenVz kernels, namely on 028stab038. Will you try this one. We believe that the problem should gone.

Regards,
Den

as far as I can see from this log, you use diff-ve-nfs-stop-b-20070502, while the real cure is diff-ve-nfs-stop-c-20070704

Den

Den, is a bit wrong (patch was simply renamed in CVS, since -b already existed). The patch is correct. And this patch requires another minor fix. Anyway, we will continue investigating and will provide you a kernel today/tomorrow for debugging.

Hello again, Jochum!

We have found a problem induced by the diff-ve-nfsstop-b-20070704. There is a deadlock if NFS service is started in VE0 before vz service, which is generally the case. The patch is attached to the bug.

Though, could you plz clarify, is there any changes after the diff-ve-nfsstop-b-20070704 or not? We have no feedback for the original defect.

Kirill will provide your 028stab039 kernel a bit later.

Regards,
Den

Hi Den and Dev:

I was able to capture the screen from the kernel panic, if that is of any help (this was still on the ovzkernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1.src.rpm kernel with patch diff-ve-nfsstop-b-20070704.patch installed).

thanks,

Paul

Hi Den and Dave:

I am sorry, but I am not sure I understand the question. If you are asking if I installed any other package in my build (other than patch diff-ve-nfsstop-b-20070704.patch), than the answer is no (i.e. only patch was added). If you are asking if the behavior of the kernel was different once I used that patch, than I believe the answer is also no (to me, the kernel panic looks like it came from the same area, but I am not very good at reading kernel panics, so I can't guarantee that).

Also, I uploaded the kernel panic in the previous response, but forgot to add the extension .png to the file.

thanks,

Paul

Here is a small debug patch. Current idea about this problem is that there is a "use after free" situation. The patch will clarify the situation.

It will OOPS faster if we guessed correctly. Could you check it and notify us about the results?

Hi Den:

I tried the patch, but couldn't get it to build. Error message was:

Hi Den:

I have attached a copy of the screen dump from the kernel panic, I assume that is what you are looking for. I looked at /var/log/messages and /var/log/vzctl.log on the host, but nothing came out around the kernel panic timeframe.

thanks,

Paul

Hi, Jochum...

Unfortunately, we can't reproduce the situation locally and the information we have is not enough to understand the problem. As far as I see from our talks, this situation is rather frequent for you.

Kirill has prepared the latest OVZ kernel with all the fixes we have. You can download it from
http://download.openvz.org/~dev/028stab039.1/
Could you try this one and if this will not help, plz provide more details about the situation.

According to the dumps we have, the crash occurs at the beginning of ip_route_output_slow on dereference of loopback_dev (this is a macro now).

Do you have problems with a concrete VE or this can happen on an arbitrary one with NFS?

Do you have crashes on the same node or an arbitrary one is affected?

Is there any specific activity before the crash like checkpointing/restoration/backup/restore etc?

It will be very helpful if you setup a serial or a network console for the crashing node. We really need to see a whole OOPS to make a more productive guesses. Though, you can try to turn off kernel panic on oops and obtain logs directly from the node. This can be performed by
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops

Here is a small debug patch against 028stab039.1. Could you run the kernel with it?

I hope this will help us Smile

Regards,
Den

Hi Den:

Thanks for responding and your patience in working on this. I will try to answer your questions, and also attach a copy of a full kernel dump.

1) Can I try Kirill's latest version?
A) I downloaded and installed his version (ovzkernel-PAE-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.028stab039.1.i686.rpm
ovzkernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5.028stab039.1.i686.rpm
), but they still failed.

2) I have tries this on 2 differen't VE's. Both of them are based on CentOS 5.0. One of these was the download from the OpenVZ website, the other from my own conversion of CentOS4 to CentOS5.

3) Do I have the crashes on the same node, or arbitrary ones?
I have this configuration running on 6 nodes, and I can reproduce the failure on all 6 of them.

4) Is there any specific activity before the crash?
Nothing special. Basically, I start the host, and than have been using a script to start the VPS, perform a pwd of an automounted NFS filesystem, and then stop the VPS. I can tell it will fail, when the VPS does not shut down completly (vzlist -a shows it is running but has 0 processes). Once in this state (where the VPS does not shut down completely), it takes a while (anywhere from minutes to hours) before the kernel panics. During this interval, I do receive messages on the console, (nfs) "server xxx not responding, still trying"


Here is the copy of the kernel dump. Note, this was run against Kirill's kernel, with out the included patch. I will next work on building Kirill's kernel with the new patch.

thanks,

Paul

Hi Den:

I rebuilt Kirill's version with the patch. The kernel panic looks the same (at least to me), I have included it below. I did not see anything unusual in the /var/log/vzctl.log file, and the only important thing I saw in /var/log/messages was the following 2 messages:

kernel: nfs: server lss-nfsa09 not responding, still
trying
Jul 27 20:23:44 lss-host40 last message repeated 4 times

thanks,

Paul

Hi Den:

Nothing was printed above the kernel oops on the console, but I did find the following in /var/log/messages:

Jul 28 14:00:43 lss-host40 automount[6771]: umount_multi: could not stat fs of /home/prj
Jul 28 14:00:50 lss-host40 kernel: VE: 200: started
Jul 28 14:00:56 lss-host40 kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000040


thanks,

Paul

Hi Den:

In my limited testing, I can't get the system to panic any longer, but it does seem to corrupt NFS when I stop a VPS now, which causes the system to hang.

I built ovzkernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab039.1.src.rpm, with the following patches:
diff-ve-opseminit-20070723.patch
diff-ve-nfsstop-b-20070704.patch
diff-ve-nfsstop-d-20070731.patch

I do not get a kernel dump, but in /var/log/messages, I received:
Jul 31 13:43:28 lss-host40 kernel: portmap: RPC call returned error 101
Jul 31 13:43:28 lss-host40 kernel: RPC: failed to contact portmap (errno -101).

thanks,

Paul

Hi, Paul!

Have you umounted the NFS share from userspace during normal VE stop sequence? If the NFS if forcely umounted from kernel, it CAN be corrupted.

Though, the hang should be investigated. We do not see it in our environment, again Sad Is it possible to press Alt-SysRq-P severalt times and Alt-SysRq-T after that after the hang and send the calltraces to me?

Regards,
Den

Hi Den:

Here is the output, hope it helps.

thanks,

Paul

(ps - I know, I have a lot of processes running on the host, a lot more than normally needed, someday, I might even get a chance of cleaning some of them up Smile )

Hi, Paul!

The log shows where the deadlock occurs, so I can start to think. Though, I have a small question. Do you use IPv6 in your environment?

Regards,
Den

Hi Den:

No, we don't use IPv6.

Hello, Paul!

A small, but important question. Do you have an appropriate script inside the VE, which will umount it during normal runlevel stop process? I think this should work well as a temporary solution.

I am trying to solve the problem from kernel point of view, but there no quite a good solution for now.

Regards,
Den

Hi Den:

Up till now, I have not been unmounting the file systems on shutdown. I will be out of the office this week, but will add that to my scripts next week, and see if that clears the problem.

thanks, and I hope you have a good week,

Paul

We're presently being affected by this bug on both:

* 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.028stab060.8
* 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.028stab062.3

We're using CentOS 5.3 templates with NFS mounted. Unmounting the NFS before a shut down does not resolve this for us: We still get the 0 NPROC listed and the 100% CPU for vzmond/7279.

We have other hosts where this isn't a problem, but on this particular setup, we've confirmed this issue across 6 machines.

Nothing shows up in /var/log/messages or dmesg.

Yesterday, the containers stopped after a while (20 minutes?). Today, they seem to just be hanging.
