Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Created attachment 1882192 [details]
restore.log of first, failed attempt

Description of problem:

Restoring a checkpointed container fails with cgroupsv1, but then succeeds on the second try.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
podman-4.0.3-1.el9.x86_64
criu-3.15-13.el9.x86_64
crun-1.4.5-2.el9.x86_64
runc-1.0.3-4.el9.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
2. reboot
3. podman run -dit --name swamped-crate busybox:latest sh
114ca3e855150cdb2595341011baaf906d83dfbb2c9d3bea5fb0098a799ef40c
4. podman container checkpoint swamped-crate
114ca3e855150cdb2595341011baaf906d83dfbb2c9d3bea5fb0098a799ef40c
5. podman container restore swamped-crate
Error: OCI runtime error: crun: CRIU restoring failed -52.  Please check CRIU logfile /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/114ca3e855150cdb2595341011baaf906d83dfbb2c9d3bea5fb0098a799ef40c/userdata/restore.log
6. podman container restore swamped-crate
114ca3e855150cdb2595341011baaf906d83dfbb2c9d3bea5fb0098a799ef40c

Actual results:

"podman container restore" fails on the first try, then succeeds.

Expected results:

It should succeed on the first try.

Additional info:

The ultimate error is this:

(00.004812) cg: Restoring cgroup property value [9223372036854771712] to [memory/machine.slice/libpod-10150e8cd8438787ec0462945a871045d06c24574c81e1e4b7f1db70d69ac4a2.scope/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes]

restore.log of second, successful attempt

Comment 2 Marius Vollmer 2022-05-23 08:06:23 UTC
Also, after the failed restore:

# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/machine.slice/libpod-114ca3e855150cdb2595341011baaf906d83dfbb2c9d3bea5fb0098a799ef40c.scope/memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes 
9223372036854771712

So the file has already the value that podman tries to write into it during restore.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2022-05-24 03:54:23 UTC
Giuseppe any ideas?

Comment 5 Charlie Doern 2022-05-24 14:15:13 UTC
seems that on first try, the ctr is trying to set memory limits which isn't allowed but then somehow knows not to set them on the second run. restore probably modifies something on the first errored run in the config/spec that should be set from the getgo

Comment 6 Giuseppe Scrivano 2022-08-24 10:37:57 UTC
after investigation, the error is coming from libcriu.  Re-assigning for further triage.
