RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hi Guys

We are trying to reproduce this issue at our side and see different sleep-related problems, we believe this could be connected to the bios version on our setup.
Could you please attach you bios binary to the issue (/usr/share/seabios/bios-pm.bin)?

Thanks in advance,
Dmitry.

Comment 16 Dmitry Fleytman 2013-01-15 07:46:39 UTC
Problem reproduces without WHQL as well. Just start the Guest with 4G of RAM and do hibernate.

It looks like the root cause of the problem is extremely slow hibernation on Windows 2008 32 bit.

For guest with 1G of memory it takes system around 10 minutes to hibernate. When it takes less then 10 minutes system hibernates successfully, when it takes more - system crashes.

With 4G of memory crash happens every time, with 512M of memory the crash has never been observed.

Another phenomena observed is that the crash happens on different hosts, also IO performance tests don't show slow storage access rates, so it doesn't look like the storage issue.
Also when guest is going into hibernate state all it's VCPUs are 100% busy so it doesn't look like a storage latency problem.

The crash also happens without RedHat network/storage drivers so it looks like a host issue.

Unusual system activity during hibernation needs to be investigated.

Comment 17 Dmitry Fleytman 2013-01-15 10:02:15 UTC
Prime suspect is Windows making too much cache flushes during hibernate.
Indeed with disk option "cache=unsafe" in QEMU command line hibernate takes a few seconds.

Please, try to repeat tests with "cache=unsafe" disk option added.

Comment 18 Michael S. Tsirkin 2013-01-21 10:49:31 UTC
It says an Irp is blocked for too long.
Do we know which Irp is it?

MJ_POWER with S4.

Comment 20 Ronen Hod 2013-01-21 18:10:23 UTC
needinfo from Asias and Stefan.

A summary of my understanding.
- Windows issues an Hibernation IRP (MJ_POWER(S4)).
- If this IRP finishes in less than 10 minutes then everything is fine.
- Inside this IRP Windows is writing the S4 data to its disk (emulated IDE).
- In comment 17 Dima wrote "Prime suspect is Windows making too much cache flushes"

So according to this, the issue is that IDE is extremely slow in this scenario, and probably the IDE emulation needs to be optimized.

Does anybody see it differently?
For related/duplicates of this bug see the tracker bug 896495

Tried IDE disk w/ "cache=unsafe" ,still hit the same issue

Comment 22 Stefan Hajnoczi 2013-01-22 15:27:44 UTC
A kvm_stat or full "perf record -a -e kvm:*" trace would be useful during the vcpu 100% busy period.  That way we can spot unusual operations coming from the guest as well as figure out IDE latency (it can be measured from the IDE controller register access pio and interrupt events in the perf trace).

Also, has anyone tried -smp 1 to simplify the guest configuration?

Comment 23 Asias He 2013-01-24 06:06:38 UTC
I am not seeing the BSOD (probably it less than 10 minutes) but seeing huge differences between RHEL and upstream qemu.

RHEL6.4   4 vcpu 4GB ram ide disk, win2008-32bit, hibernate time = 5 minutes
Upstream  4 vcpu 4GB ram ide disk, win2008-32bit, hibernate time = 5 seconds

Changing from -smp 4 to -smp 1 does not help for me.

Comment 25 Asias He 2013-01-24 09:01:03 UTC
Tried linux guest on RHEL6.4, it is very fast.

RHEL6.4   4 vcpu 4GB ram ide disk, rhel7-64, hibernate time = 10 seconds

This is interesting.  It should be possible to bisect this.

The RHEL6.4 qemu-kvm is based on upstream qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2.

If qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2 shows poor hibernation performance we can bisect qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2..master to find out which change fixed performance.

If qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2 shows good hibernation performance we can bisect qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2..qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.352.el6 to find out which change broke performance.

Comment 27 Karen Noel 2013-01-25 02:00:32 UTC
-drive file=win2k8-32-nic1.raw,if=none,format=raw,id=drive-ide0-0-0,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=1

Can this be avoided if the boot disk is on the PCI bus? If so, this would seem like a good workaround on 6.4.

Comment 29 Dmitry Fleytman 2013-01-26 19:42:44 UTC
Commit that fixes long hibernation issue is:

Comment 30 Ronen Hod 2013-01-27 10:10:28 UTC
Paolo,

Do you see a reason not to include this patch in snapshot-5?

Comment 31 Ronen Hod 2013-01-27 10:13:55 UTC
QE,

Please also test Asias's build with all the bugs under the tracker bug 896495.
We would like to include this patch in RHEL6.4 snapshot 5 (the last snapshot).
Please also run a sanity check (IDE), since we do not have any spare time.

Comment 32 Ronen Hod 2013-01-27 18:46:35 UTC
QE,

Yan reports that on his machine it indeed improves the situation, but not completely. Please provide dumps for bugs.

Thanks, Ronen.

Paolo, I backported the following three patches  which makes the hibernation much faster in RHEL6. Do we need to backport more dependencies to make 'ide: support enable/disable write cache' really work?

1) 
    Enabling or disabling the write cache is done with the SET FEATURES
    command.  The command can be issued with sg_sat_set_features from
    sg3-utils.

    (cherry picked from commit 7cdd481cdf15d610f83e38f15c7e7979420c6ac0)

2) 
    block: always open drivers in writeback mode
    
    Formats are entirely in charge of flushes for metadata writes.  For
    guest-initiated writes, a writethrough cache is faked in the block layer.
    So we can always open in writeback mode.

Comment 37 Paolo Bonzini 2013-01-28 15:29:28 UTC
Perhaps there is another bug, because it is not really clear why the patch should have any effect.  If the machine is started with cache=none, it should have (from the beginning) its write cache enabled.

Does it work if you only patch like this: 

         switch(s->feature) {
+        case 0x02: /* write cache enable */
         case 0xcc: /* reverting to poewr-on defaults enable */

or like this:

         switch(s->feature) {
+        case 0x82: /* write cache disable */
+        case 0x02: /* write cache enable */
         case 0xcc: /* reverting to poewr-on defaults enable */

or like this:

         switch(s->feature) {
+        case 0x02: /* write cache enable */

That would explain why the patch makes a difference.

The first would be a very acceptable patch for 6.4.

The others wouldn't really be acceptable; Asias's full backport (and also commits c4a248a+f05fa4a) would be needed, but at least we'd know what Windows is expecting.

Hi Dmitry,

Can you post your command line you used in comment #16. You used cache=writethrough ?

Comment 39 Asias He 2013-01-29 08:17:25 UTC
Some updates:

Only applying 'block: always open drivers in writeback mode' will achieve the same result as in comment 33. 'ide: support enable/disable write cache' does not really fix any issue.

The slowness of hibernation should not related to 'flush' but slowness of 'write'. Very few flush operations (less than 20) are observed during 4g ram hibernation.

Hibernation slowness is only observed with 'cache=writethrough', e.g. ' -drive file=$OS,if=none,cache=writethrough,id=hd0  -device ide-drive,drive=hd0,id=hd0' using the stock RHEL6.4 qemu-kvm build.

Comment 40 Dmitry Fleytman 2013-01-29 09:28:57 UTC
We used defaults, i.e. with no explicit cache specification.

Comment 41 Paolo Bonzini 2013-01-29 11:13:07 UTC
The default is cache=writethrough in RHEL6.4 and cache=writeback upstream.  It is possible that Windows tries to toggle the cache mode at startup, this would explain the result of the bisection.

But if the issue still can be reproduced with HCK and cache=none, we need to bisect with HCK and the exact same cache parameters.

Comment 42 Ronen Hod 2013-01-29 14:16:10 UTC
Following a conversation with Vadim and Yan, Dima, Gal.

The tracker bug 896495 shows several cases, that are not all related to IDE, all of them are related to "power" (s3/s4), but we think that this is not the direct cause, and it could be a result of a secondary effect, such as Flush.
Still we believe that all of them are due to the same issue.
- This is an old problem that we carry since RHEL 5.
- The problem is that a request to a device is stuck in QEMU
- A good trigger for this power-off of a device (S3/S4) during massive storage activity.
- Although the power-off is stuck, it is not clear that it is the source of the problem. Probably a standard I/O stuck request is the real issue.

Vadim is looking at it. Although the request is stuck inside QEMU, Vadim prefers to use virtio drivers over IDE, since he can tell exactly what happens in the driver's code.

Ronen.

test this issue on win2k8-32
qemu-img-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.359.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64
seabios-0.6.1.2-27.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.0-12.el6.x86_64
virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-59

boot the guest with different comnination of cache and s4
1.when using "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0" and "cache=none"--->guest BSOD
2.when using "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=0" and delete "cache=none"--->guest BSOD
3.when using "-global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1" and "cache=none"--->guest pass the job

So it seems s4 cause the guest BSOD

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not clear which BIOS was used for the last test cycle.
We believe this problem occurs due to a BIOS bug, did you use BIOS from here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=912561#c3

Thanks,

We test it on WLK1.6 and the result is pass which means it is not a testblocker.
We would like to deferring this bug to next release in case need it in future

As we know that Win2008 will be tested with WLK in the future - I think we can close it.

Comment 74 Yvugenfi@redhat.com 2013-09-15 11:26:31 UTC
Closing based on comment #73 (certification for Windows 2008 server will be done with WLK test kit).

In case if we still want to pass with HCK - support case with MS should be opened.
