Description Dharmalingam 2013-12-19 05:17:48 UTC
Description of problem:
When destroying the VM facing the I/O error and Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt -1.2.0 and xen-4.2.1.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.create the vm in virsh(create xxxx.xml)
2.Try to destroy the vm. (destroy instanceid)

Actual results:
Facing I/O error and failed to reconnect to the Hypervisor.
daemon destroyed.


Expected results:
VM have to destroy without any error.

Additional info:
during GDB i got the following information:

Not very useful, is it?

You have to issue a 'bt' command in gdb, to print the stack trace and have at least a hint of where the problem is originating.

Notice that, in order to such stacktrace to be useful, you need debugging symbols, do you have them (from the above, it seems to me that you don't)?

BTW, `virsh destroy' works for me, using both libvirt and xen git tip.

I am newbie to this gdb debugging. now i did the bt in the debugging. In my side still it showing the error. Following are the stacktrace which i got. Kindly refer the following logs for full information:

Comment 4 Michal Privoznik 2013-12-19 12:00:15 UTC
Dharmalingam,

if you're building from git, it should be fairly simple to get debug symbols. Just run:

export CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb3"
git clean -fxd; ./autogen.sh --system && make

After this, you have debug symbols in libvirt (not the underlying libraries though). After this, you should be able to reproduce, and in the 'bt' command in gdb you should not see the <optimized out> but real pointers. Moreover, you can produce a coredump (a file which will help developers to see what's going on) you can issue "generate-core-file" command in the gdb console. It will produce a file which you should be able to attach to this bug.

Comment 5 Dario Faggioli 2013-12-19 23:13:38 UTC
As per the discussion in the libvir mailing list, this behavior is due to the fact that Xen 4.2.1 (which is what is used) is lacking the following bugfixes:
  libxl: fix stale timeout event callback race
  libxl: fix stale fd event callback race

Which are both present in the Xen branch stable-4.2, and hence in Xen 4.2.3, as commits:
  6f0f339dd4378d062a211969f45cd23af12bf386
  a87ef897295ec17788e41e9a8f4c0ada7a5a45f8

See here:
 http://bugs.xenproject.org/xen/mid/%3C21170.56484.749112.480737@mariner.uk.xensource.com%3E

I think this can be considered enough for closing this bug.

Comment 6 Dharmalingam 2013-12-20 08:51:12 UTC
thanks to all people. :)
its working in new version of xen-4.3.1 and libvirt-1.2.0.
and once again thanks to all who are guided me..
