Description Yu Watanabe 2017-04-19 06:28:07 UTC

Description of problem:

If running kernel is the oldest kernel instelled in the system and 3 (or installonly_limit in dnf.conf) kernel rpms are installed, then dnf removes currently running kernel when kernel is updated. E.g.

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64
kernel-4.10.9-200.fc25.x86_64
kernel-4.10.10-200.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. please see above

Actual results:

dnf removes the oldest kernel regardless of the kernel is running or not.

Expected results:

dnf removes the oldest and not running kernel

Additional info:

Comment 1 Martin Hatina 2017-04-19 11:23:47 UTC

Please, update dnf to dnf-2.3.0, can you try to reproduce this problem with new dnf?

Comment 2 Yu Watanabe 2017-04-20 05:02:21 UTC

I've also tested with dnf-2.3.0-1.fc27.noarch. However, the problem still exist.

Comment 3 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-04 11:11:01 UTC

Please can you try it with dnf-2.4 and provide output from:
1. "dnf repoquery --userinstalled kernel*"
2. "dnf repoquery kernel*"
3. "dnf upgrade" # where it tries to remove running kernel
4. also setting of koji repo could help (just to know the origin of packages) (/etc/yum.repos.d/<repo koji>.repo)
5. Please also ensure that that you run certain kernel version and provide exact version of that kernel

I ask so meny questions because I am unable to reproduce the problem on my VM.

Comment 4 Yu Watanabe 2017-05-08 02:13:39 UTC

Sorry for late reply.

1. Now I use dnf-2.4.0-2.fc26.noarch, and it seems not to have the option '--userinstalled'. Are there any rpm I can test with the following commit?
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/commit/bb5ed9a97588ba8d418bc1b72c9c7de9f0d1b89f

Instead of '--userinstalled', I tried '--installed' option, and the output is

Comment 5 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-09 08:14:20 UTC

I create patch for kernel removal logic that could help. Please to test it do as follows:
# please start with running the newest kernel.
1. "dnf copr enable rpmsoftwaremanagement/rpm-gitoverlay-1494315254.398449"
# it enable copr repository with patch
2. "sudo dnf --repo rpmsoftwaremanagement-rpm-gitoverlay-1494315254.398449 upgrade dnf libdnf libsolv"
# To upgrade to dnf-2.4.0_1-7gca0f46b.fc25.noarch, libdnf-0.8.2-3gc54f4fd.fc25.x86_64, libsolv-0.6.27-1.fc25.x86_64

3. Try "dnf upgrade --assumeno" to check if transaction is possible with update of new kernel and which kernel is remove.

4. Reboot with oldest kernel and then run again "dnf upgrade --assumeno" 
Expected result:
Install new kernel
Removes oldest kernel that is not running.

I hope that it will work for you, because I cannot reproduce your problem on my side. 

Please report the result of this test.

Comment 6 Yu Watanabe 2017-05-10 06:40:54 UTC

Unfortunately, the copr packages does not fix this issue.
I've tested the procedure written in comment #3 with the copr dnf.
Note that, in the comment #4, I've tested on Fedora 26, however the following results is tested on Fedora 25, because the copr dnf is build for Fedora 25.

Comment 7 Yu Watanabe 2017-05-10 07:11:38 UTC

On Fedora 26, I've tested dnf-2.4.0_1-10gc75dba0.fc26.noarch provided by  rpmsoftwaremanagement/dnf-nightly. However, the situation is the same.

Comment 8 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-10 08:27:59 UTC

Ok, please can you provide output from ``ls /boot/ -l``?

I suppose that you performed steps from Comment 5.

Comment 9 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-10 08:36:47 UTC

Also output of ``sudo dnf repoquery --installed -l kernel-core | grep /boot`` would be handy.

Yes, the outputs in comment #6 are given by dnf-2.4.0_1-7gca0f46b.fc25.noarch from the copr repository rpmsoftwaremanagement-rpm-gitoverlay-1494315254.398449.

Comment 11 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-11 12:56:29 UTC

It looks like that your system cannot correctly detect running kernel that is handled by libdnf package. We detect package that provide a running kernel like that - that we looked for pakage that provides file '/boot/vmlinuz- + version of running kernel like '4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64' therefore we search for string  '/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.14-200.fc25.x86_64'. Please can you try to create such a string with version of running kernel for your computer (like /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.13-201.fc25.x86_64) and try 


sudo dnf repoquery --installed --whatprovides '<string>' 

Also I do not have access to your koji repo, therefore please can you provide kernel packages in oldest version that makes a problem (running kernel that is oldest).

Please can you report version of libdnf and libsolv on your systems?

Hope that I will be able to reproduce your problem on my site.

Oh, I got it. The function running_kernel() in hy-iutil.c 
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/blob/master/libdnf/hy-iutil.c#L362
is I guess not suitable for my systems.

If the machine does not use grub2, more precisely, grubby is not installed, then /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) does not exist. The file is created by the post-install script of kernel-core.rpm only if grubby is installed. If grubby is not installed, post-install script creates /boot/$(cat /etc/machine-id)/$(uname -r)/linux and the corresponding initrd. But the file is not detected by libdnf.

So, actually, by touching /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r), updating kernel works as expected. See the following outputs.

I enabled indexes option in my repository, so now you can access my koji repo.
http://www2.yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yu.watanabe/repo/koji/26/x86_64/
But all the rpm files are just retrieved from
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
by using koji command. So, I guess the reproductivity of the problem is not related to the repository.

Comment 14 Yu Watanabe 2017-05-12 09:08:02 UTC

The file /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) is labeled as %ghost file in the kernel-core package. Instead of the file, how about using /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz ?
The file is identical to /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) and /boot/$(cat /etc/machine-id)/$(uname -r)/linux if they exist.

Comment 15 Yu Watanabe 2017-05-12 09:17:31 UTC

Created attachment 1278113 [details]
Patch to use /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/vmlinuz for detecting the running kernel

Comment 16 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-12 16:19:44 UTC

Thanks for the patch, but still dont know the root of your problem. 
I create a special testing version of libdnf just for you (dnf copr enable jmracek/kernel-test). Please install from that repo libdnf and python3-hawkey both in version 0.8.2-1.git.1511.8b133bf.fc25 or 0.8.2-1.git.1511.8b133bf.fc26.
Then try in case whet it removes running kernel and provide output from it, and uname -a as attachment.  
(filename )

Also output from script could help, but replace <filename> with string from ``/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)``

#!/usr/bin/python3 -tt

import dnf, 
base = dnf.Base()
base.read_all_repos()
base.fill_sack()
print(base.sack.query().installed().filter(file=<filename>).run())



Thanks a lot. I guess that file ``/boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r)`` is provided by two installed packages therefore the first package in query could be not running kernel.

Comment 21 Yu Watanabe 2017-05-13 07:04:01 UTC

The above 4 files contain the output of 'dnf update' with libdnf-0.8.2-1.git.1511.8b133bf.fc26.x86_64. The file its name ends with -touch.txt is the case /boot/vmlinuz-$(uname -r) exists.

Comment 22 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-14 18:26:49 UTC

Thanks a lot. The problem is in hy-iutils.c line 364.:
```
if (access(fn, F_OK)) {
        g_debug("running_kernel(): no matching file: %s.", fn);
        return -1;

```

It checks if file is there. It is possible to solve it by using your solution or by removal of this part. Thanks a lot for your cooperation and i believe it will be fixed soon.

Comment 23 Jaroslav Mracek 2017-05-15 11:14:22 UTC

I created patch that should help https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/285. 
Please if you can test it here is copr repo with patch - libdnf ("dnf copr enable  rpmsoftwaremanagement/rpm-gitoverlay-1494835397.199814" )

Thanks for cooperation.
