Description Ting-Wei Lan 2014-12-27 17:54:10 UTC
Description of problem:
When using Fedora 21 as the Xen dom0, NetworkManager crashes when a domU is started. I guess the time it crashes is the same as the time the domU trys to access the network interface. This problem can cause the system to be disconnected from the network.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64
xen-4.4.1-9.fc21.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.9.10.0-14.git20140704.fc21.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use `xl create -c /etc/xen/any_vm' to start a domU
2. Use `systemctl status NetworkManager' to see that it has crashed

Actual results:
NetworkManager should work.

Expected results:
NetworkManager crashes.

Comment 4 Ting-Wei Lan 2014-12-28 03:00:01 UTC
It still crashes when using

kernel-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64
xen-4.4.1-11.fc21.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.9.10.0-14.git20140704.fc21.x86_64

Comment 5 Ting-Wei Lan 2015-01-01 17:02:20 UTC
The problem can be fixed by upgrading NetworkManager to 1.0.0, but it causes gnome-control-center to show warning because of version mismatch.

Comment 6 Ting-Wei Lan 2015-01-14 07:18:54 UTC
It is still broken on

kernel-3.17.8-300.fc21.x86_64
xen-4.4.1-11.fc21.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.9.10.1-1.2.20150109git.fc21.x86_64

Comment 7 Ting-Wei Lan 2015-01-24 09:26:56 UTC

Comment 8 Dan Williams 2015-01-29 19:55:15 UTC
Is vif2.0 being added to a bridge port by Xen here?

For NM devs, I think what's going on is this:

nm_device_activate_stage3_ip_config_start()
 - sets ip4_state=IP_WAIT
 - sets NM_DEVICE_STATE_IP_CONFIG
 - the master interface's slave_state_changed() is called
    - it calls nm_device_enslave_slave()
        - nm_device_slave_notify_enslave() is called
           - since the slave is activating it sets ip4_state = IP_DONE
 - nm_device_activate_stage3_ip_config_start() is called
    - g_assert (ip4_state == IP_WAIT), which clearly isn't true

Comment 9 Ting-Wei Lan 2015-01-30 04:59:28 UTC
Yes, vif2.0 is created and added to an existing bridge by Xen.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2015-11-04 10:47:58 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '21'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2015-12-02 06:32:03 UTC
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
