Description Timothy Redaelli 2020-02-25 16:41:36 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1798996 +++

Description of problem:
Boot guest over ovs with vhost-user ports. In guest, keep vhost-user NIC using virtio-pci driver. Then migrate guest from src to des host. Both qemu and guest will hang on src host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.18.0-176.el8.x86_64
qemu-kvm-4.2.0-8.module+el8.2.0+5607+dc756904.x86_64
openvswitch2.11-2.11.0-47.el8fdp.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot ovs with 1 vhost-user NIC on both src and des host. Refer to [1]

2. Boot qemu with vhost-user. Refer to [2]

3. Check vhost-user driver in guest. Keep it's default virtio-pci.

4. Migrate guest from src to des. Both src qemu and guest hang.

(qemu) migrate -d tcp:10.73.72.196:5555
(qemu) 

Actual results:
Both qemu and guest hang when do migration.

Expected results:
Both qemu and guest should keep working well and can migrate successfully.

Additional info:
1. This is a regression bug.
openvswitch2.11-2.11.0-35.el8fdp.x86_64   works well.

2. If binding vhost-user NIC from virtio-pci to vfio-pci in guest, this issue is gone.

3. openvswitch2.13-2.13.0-0.20200121git2a4f006.el8fdp.x86_64 works well.

This was testing with FDP 20.B. As there is no version "FDP 20.B" in bugzilla now, so I chose 20.A. I would highlight 20.A version works well.

--- Additional comment from Pei Zhang on 2020-02-06 14:07:44 CET ---

Though qemu hang, I don't think it's qemu issue. 

As below versions (1) and (2) work well.

(1)qemu-kvm-4.2.0-8.module+el8.2.0+5607+dc756904.x86_64 & openvswitch2.13-2.13.0-0.20200121git2a4f006.el8fdp.x86_64 works well

(2)qemu-kvm-4.2.0-8.module+el8.2.0+5607+dc756904.x86_64 & openvswitch2.11-2.11.0-35.el8fdp.x86_64                   works well

(3)qemu-kvm-4.2.0-8.module+el8.2.0+5607+dc756904.x86_64 & openvswitch2.11-2.11.0-47.el8fdp.x86_64(bug version)      fail

Thanks to Pei, I managed to reproduce on her testbed.

It seems there is a deadlock on VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ADDR handling:

However, looking at their backtraces, no other thread seems to be holding the lock.
It is likely that a patch introduced a regression, by not releasing the lock in some condition.

Next step is check vhost patches that were introduced between this version and the known working one.

    vhost: protect log address translation in IOTLB update

    Currently, the log address translation only  happens in the vhost-user's
    translate_ring_addresses(). However, the IOTLB update handler is not
    checking if it was mapped to re-trigger that translation.

    Since the log address mapping could fail, check it on iotlb updates.
    Also, check it on vring_translate() so we do not dirty pages if the
    logging address is not yet ready.

    Additionally, properly protect the accesses to the iotlb structures.

Verified with openvswitch2.11-2.11.0-48.el8fdp.x86_64:

All migration cases get PASS. And all OVS related cases get PASS.
