Update: 
Currently, QE didn't hit this issue any more. The versions we used in daily testing(With multiple hosts, multiple times):

3.10.0-653.rt56.571.el7.x86_64
3.10.0-663.rt56.581.el7.x86_64

With same steps, QE hit rt host hang issue. And I tested below version about 3 times currently, hit this issue 1 time.

Versions: kernel-rt-3.10.0-664.rt56.583.el7.

But this time I didn't open the console before hang, so can not provide the detail error info.  I'll keep monitoring console in next testings.

I have a few questions:

- Do you start ovs before activating the profile? If yes, do you assigned fifo priority to the PMD threads?

- Is this always reproduced when activating the profile or is it reproduced at different times?

- Are you able to reproduce this with tuned-2.8.0-2.el7 or later?

No, I didn't start ovs before activating the tuned profiles. Only install the ovs/dpdk packages for next testing.

> - Is this always reproduced when activating the profile or is it reproduced

Currently, I hit this host kernel crash only one time. In my latest kvm-rt related testing, I didn't hit this issue anymore. Besides hit hang issue[Comment 5] one time. 

> - Are you able to reproduce this with tuned-2.8.0-2.el7 or later?

In my daily testing, I already tested with tuned-2.8.0-2.el7/tuned-2.8.0-3.el7.noarch, didn't hit this issue again.


Seems this issue is very occasionally. But seems the crash info is similar with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438120#c53

Indeed! bug 1438120 comment 53 is precisely the same issue and it's nice you got a good vmcore! Would you mind to post that info here too?

So, what seems to be happening here is:

1. Something in user-space in changing testpmd pinning and this code path is executed:

sched_setaffinity()
  set_cpu_allowed_ptr()
    do_set_cpus_allowed()
      set_cpus_allowed_rt()

2. set_cpus_allowed_rt() checks weight <= 1 and goes to decrement rt_nr_migratory. However, rt_nr_migratory is already zero. So the BUG_ON() triggers

Now, some important points:

- rt_nr_migratory keeps track of how many RT tasks in the runqueue can migrate to other CPUs. If rt_nr_migratory=0 it means no RT task can migrate

- nr_cpus_allowed=5 for the testpmd thread

- observe in the trace that a few pagefaults are happening in parallel to set_cpus_allowed_rt(), and those code paths are calling migrate_enable()

This points to a race with migrate_enable()/disable(), but I can't see it causing rt_nr_migratory being underflowed.

Update:

I hit the kernel panic issue again, at the first reboot after installing rt related packages. 


1.Install rhel7.4 host

2.Install kernel-rt and virt related packages, including:
3.10.0-668.rt56.587.el7.x86_64
tuned-2.8.0-3.el7.noarch
rt-tests-1.0-11.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.9.0-5.el7.x86_64
libvirt-3.2.0-5.el7.x86_64

3. Reboot host, then host hang and kernel panic, there was no crash dump file exists, below is the console output.

OK. When doing ping-pong live migration in rt environment, setting ovs pmd threads fifo:1 in host, and boot dpdk's testpmd with using fifo:1 in guest. After several (around 5 times mostly) migrtions, guest will kernel panic which is same with this bug.

Key steps:
# chrt -fp 1 $ovs_pmd_threads
# chrt -f 1 /usr/bin/testpmd ...

In latest testing, I enabled tracepoints as Marcelo suggested in bug 1438120 comment 58. So below link includes the vmcore and related trace.txt.

I didn't have much time to work on this today. I'll be back to this tomorrow. My plan is to try to understand better what's wrong and maybe try to reproduce it using the installation test.

Can you send me your /proc/cmdline and lscpu output?

I guess the number of CPUs you're isolating may be making the issue more likely to trig.

Reproduce update:

Same step with Description.

Versions:
3.10.0-638.rt56.553.el7.x86_64

Result:  
Tried 3 times and reboot 3 times, didn't hit any issue.


I'll try kernel-rt-3.10.0-647.rt56.564.el7 next.

I was able to create a reproducer for this issue!

By analyzing the vmcore, I was able to find out the sequence of events that leads to the panic. And you were right, it really happens at profile activation time.

Before getting to the details, here's the reproducer:

1. Confirm that you don't have the realtime-virtual-host profile applied. You can check /proc/cmdline for this. If you do have the profile activated, change to another profile and reboot:

# tuned-adm profile desktop
# reboot

2. Once you don't have realtime-virtual-host parameters in /proc/cmdline, run the following script:

#!/bin/bash

sync
cd /usr/lib/tuned/realtime-virtual-host

while true; do
        tuned-adm profile desktop
        rm -f lapic_timer_adv_ns lapic_timer_adv_ns.cpumodel
        echo activating host profile
        tuned-adm profile realtime-virtual-host
        echo done
        sleep 1s
done

This script trigs the issue for me most of the time in less than 10 minutes. However, once or twice I had to restart the machine and run the script again.

Now, the line from the tuned profile that's triggering the issue is this one:

    chrt -f 1 taskset -c $1 $QEMU -enable-kvm -device pc-testdev \
        -device isa-debug-exit,iobase=0xf4,iosize=0x4 \
        -display none -serial stdio -device pci-testdev \
        -kernel /usr/share/qemu-kvm/tscdeadline_latency.flat  \
        -cpu host | grep latency | cut -f 2 -d ":" > $dir/out

This is from the run-tscdeadline-latency.sh script executed by the realtime-virtual-host profile. That explains why you had to reprovision the machine to reproduce this and also why I wasn't being able to reproduce it before: run-tscdeadline-latency.sh implements caching and it should execute only once on a system (the reproducer above remove the caching files, forcing the script to execute on every run).

I still don't know what causes this. I'm building a debug kernel to gather more information.

Thanks Luiz. I can also reproduce this issue with this script. Now it's much easier to reproduce and I'll continue test lower versions to check if it's regression.


Thanks,

Hi Luiz, 

Seems this is a regression bug. 

Tested with below versions using Comment 19. kernel-rt-3.10.0-604.rt56.517.el7 is the first kernel to hit this issue.

Thanks,

Thanks Pei. I thought I had an hypothesis for this issue but if I was right it shouldn't be a regression. I'll take a look at -604.

Actually, my hypothesis matches exactly with your findings!

This upstream commit:

  commit 55c041cf3750894df6f304ad0489c777e27402e7
  Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy>
  Date:   Thu Jan 21 15:58:56 2016 +0100

      sched: fixup migrate disable (all tasks were bound to CPU0)

Which was backported via bug 1423432, replaces all p->nr_cpus_allowed
usage to a function called tsk_nr_cpus_allowed(). This function
returns 1 when migration is disabled (meaning, "one CPU allowed").

Now, take a look at what is done in inc_rt_migration(): rt_nr_migratory
will only get updated when nr_cpus_allowed > 1. The following case
should be possible:

1. rt_nr_migratory=0

2. Migration is disabled in some code path (eg. pagefault)

3. inc_rt_migration() is called. rt_nr_migratory increment is skipped
   since tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() will return 1

4. Migration is enabled

5. set_cpus_allowed_rt() is called from sched_setaffinity() code path

6. set_cpus_allowed_rt() should get weight=1 and tsk_nr_cpus_allowed()
   should return > 1 since migration is now enabled

7. BUG_ON() triggers

Note that this problem should also be present on upstream, since the
code is the same. However, upstream doesn't have the BUG_ON() anymore
so the problem is less severe (probably rt_nr_migratory gets unbalanced).

I guess the solution is just to change set_cpus_allowed_rt() to
check p->nr_cpus_allowed directly instead of using tsk_nr_cpus_allowed().
But this is a discussion to have on upstream.

For downstream, I think the best action right now is to revert the
series for bug 1423432.

I'll find a way to show that the problem exists on upstream and post my
patch there. Then, once it's accepted or another solution recommended,
we can backport the series for bug 1423432 along with the fix for this
issue.

Daniel is taking up this work, so I'm re-assining this to him.

The patch below is the solution I mentioned on comment 23. Although I haven't tested it yet. If this patch solves the issue, then the issue should also exist on upstream although it will be harder to show as it doesn't have the BUG_ON().

Daniel, just something I forgot to tell: I tried the patch from comment 28 a few days ago and it fixed the issue for me.

I think the problem with upstream commit 55c041c is that it's not all places that you can replace p->nr_cpus_allowed with tsk_nr_cpus_allowed(). inc_rt_migration() and dec_rt_migration() is one of those places, there could be more.

Hi Luiz,

By only using p->nr_cpus_allowed, your patch completely ignores that the migrate_disable/enable actions. Although in the past this was used, at that time, the migrated disable also used to change the cpumask of tasks. But that is not true anymore. So I do not believe that that is the best solution for this bug.

Hi Pei,

Could you please collect data using the following kernel:

https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=13351615

?

It does not aim to fix the problem but to collect data about the problem.

I added some trace_printks and a BUG_ON() in the  dec_rt_migration(), so we can get the problem earlier.

Before starting the test, please, run the following commands:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/available_events | grep setaff  > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event 
# sysctl -w kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1

This will generate a VMCORE, please ensure that I can download the vmcore... I couldn't download the last one (403 Forbidden).

Finally, I tried to reproduce the problem locally, but the steps to reproduce did not drive me to the crash. Is there anything else I should do?

Thanks in advance.

Daniel,

I'll explain my reasioning for the fix below. However, as this issue is a high severity regression and as we're late in the snapshot phase, I think the best action for this BZ right now is to revert the series for bug 1423432 and redo the backport (along with the fix for this issue) for 7.5 or 7.4.z. Otherwise, we risk shipping 7.4 with this issue.

Regarding the fix, my thinking is: the semantics for tsk_nr_cpus_allowed(p) is "if migration is enabled, the number of CPUs this task can migrate to is nr_cpus_allowed. If migrate is disabled this task can't migrate to another CPU". The problem here is that this semantics doesn't apply to inc_rt_migration() and dec_rt_migration(), since I _guess_ those functions do global accounting of migratable tasks and are not affected by individual tasks being unable to be migrated in a short period of time.

But of course, I could be wrong.

Luis,

I am considering revert the other BZ, as we talked yesterday. I am just trying not to just _guess_ that this is the best thing to do.

Hi Daniel, 

vmcore with this test build please refer to below link:
http://fileshare.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/section2/coredump/var/crash/pezhang/bug1441552/Jun7/

Sorry, I forgot to set the permission when upload the vmcore in Comment 30, I have update the permission now, please check.

> Finally, I tried to reproduce the problem locally, but the steps to

In Comment 19, Luiz provided a reproducer, could you please try it? 

Best Regards,
Pei

Hi Pei,

Thanks for uploading the vmcore, now I could precisely define the root cause and I have a possible fix. Although it worked fine while reproducing the case as described in the comment #19, could you please verify if the following build works for you as well?

https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=13379519

I am polishing the patch & description now.

Thanks in advance,
-- Daniel

Daniel,

I just tried the reproducer on this kernel and I got a different panic. The trace is below, I have the vmcore. Let me know if you need it.

Hi Daniel, 

I hit same problem with Luiz.

Also, there is another issue:
When reboot the host manually, kdump also generate crash vmcore during the reboot process. So every reboot, there will be a vmcore generated.

Please refer to below link to get the vmcore:
http://fileshare.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/section2/coredump/var/crash/pezhang/bug1441552/Jun8/

Hi Pei,

Here is a kernel without the changes from the BZ1423432.

http://file.rdu.redhat.com/~daolivei/BZ1441552/

Could you test it?

We decided to revert because the real fix will require some upstream discussion, and so we will leave for the next cycle.

Daniel, this build works well. 

-  Running Reproducer in Comment 19 1 hours, works well.
-  Re-install host and prepare rt environment, also works well.

Hi,

I posted the explanation of this bug here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1423432#c12

As the problem exists upstream and is related to the migrate_disable/enabled(), which is the subject of the other BZ, I will continue working on that BZ.

Sounds like a plan?

-- Daniel

The suggested patches (commit reverts) were added to kernel-rt-3.10.0-680.rt56.604. Kernel build ongoing.

It absolutely does! Btw, I think it's a good idea to re-open bug 1423432 now that the revert is done.

Update:

Versions:
3.10.0-680.rt56.604.el7.x86_64
tuned-2.8.0-5.el7.noarch

Install rt host 5 times, works well, no any error.

so can you close that bz?

Coming a bit late to this, I've also ran my test-case for a few hours and it worked fine.

Base on Comment 47 and Comment 49, this bug has been fixed well. Thanks.
