Description Maurizio Rottin 2008-03-17 14:43:34 UTC
Description of problem:
xen virtual machine crashes with 0002744: kernel BUG at fs/gfs2/glock.c:1131!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Using Centos 5.1 for testing purpose
kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5
gfs2-utils-0.1.38-1.el5
gfs-utils-0.1.12-1.el5
kmod-gfs-xen-0.1.19-7.el5_1.1
kmod-gfs2-xen-1.52-1.16.el5


How reproducible:
I set up 6 nodes cluster, using gfs2 on 5 nodes (but it happens also when only
one node is mounting the fs).
The nodes are xen virtual mahcines mounting a lvm partition with "w!" directive

i got this when doing a
#tar jxvf file.tar.bz2 
from all the 5 five nodes at the same time in different directories.
where file.tar.bz2 is 100MB archive with a common website inside.

Comment 1 Steve Whitehouse 2008-06-02 10:39:40 UTC
Can you reproduce this in 5.2? The GFS2 code in 5.1 is very old and not supported.


Comment 3 Adam Hough 2008-08-11 20:49:23 UTC
This is the message I have recieved on kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 (Centos 5.2) and I have been able to cause it on kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 (Centos 5.2) as well.

Comment 4 Nate Straz 2008-09-16 13:37:33 UTC
I was able to hit this during testing with coherency with jdata enabled.  The rm of the test file after the test case completed caused the panic.  The test cases which hit this were sync-write-readv and sync-pwrite-readv thus far.

Proposed fix

I think this might do the trick. It needs testing of course, but if we can get away with just moving the common page of writepage under the transaction, then that should solve the problem. If we still see problems, then I'll have to think again as potentially it makes things much more complicated.

Comment 8 Nate Straz 2008-09-22 19:05:12 UTC
The patch from comment #7 did not help.  I was able to hit the same panic.

A second attempt at fixing this

It looks like there was a path to ->invalidatepage outside of a transaction in ->delete_inode which was causing the reported problem. Normally this never
happens, or if it does it makes no difference for non-jdata.

Now and then, due to remote nodes holding the inode open, its not possible to deallocate the inode when we call ->delete_inode and in that case we were invalidating the pages outside of a transaction. Normally thats ok, but not in the jdata case.

So this is an update on the previous patch. I'm still looking at this though and there may be some more changes, but this is all I can find at the moment.

Comment 10 Nate Straz 2008-09-30 15:10:58 UTC
I was able to reproduce this on kernel-2.6.18-116.gfs2abhi.001 which includes the patch in comment #9.

Comment 11 Robert Peterson 2008-10-02 20:38:24 UTC
I concur with Steve as to the cause of the problem.  However, to me
it looks like truncate_inode_pages_range calls truncate_complete_page
for all pages found in the address space.  In turn, function
truncate_complete_page calls do_invalidatepage if the page is private,
which calls gfs2_invalidatepage, which calls gfs2_remove_from_journal,
as shown in the call trace.

What I don't understand is why gfs2_delete_inode calls function
truncate_inode_pages both inside the transaction and a second time
after the transaction has been closed down.  The second call seems
wrong to me.  Can't we just remove the second call?  In other words:

 		fs_warn(sdp, "gfs2_delete_inode: %d\n", error);
 out:

 	clear_inode(inode);
 }
 

I remember that it was rationalized to me once, but I forgot what it
was.  The fact that we have pages that haven't been truncated by the
first call implies that someone else is messing with the pages for
this address space outside of a transaction too, and perhaps that is
the root of the problem.

Comment 12 Nate Straz 2008-10-03 19:51:56 UTC
After further inspecting my configuration while trying to verify 462579, I discovered that I had an old kmod-gfs2 package installed and I was loading gfs2.ko built Sep 19 instead of the kmod from the 2.6.18-116.gfs2abhi.001 kernel built Sep 29.  I need to rerun these tests.

Comment 13 Nate Straz 2008-10-06 14:25:49 UTC
After re-running with kmod-gfs2 removed and confirming that GFS2 was built the same day as the kernel, my tests have all succeeded.
