Description of problem: Following update to kernel-3.5.0-2 on two F17 x86_64 machines, the machines won't connect to oVirt 3.1 nfs domains. Returning to 3.4.6-2.fc17.x86_64 resolves the issue. I don't know what's causing the issue, but I'm happy to help debug it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.5.0-2.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to this version of the kernel on F17 machine serving as oVirt host. 2. 3. Actual results: NFS domain is inaccessible. Expected results: Additional info: I've tried putting selinux into permissive mode and downing the firewall, neither has an effect. The affected host does mount the nfs share, but fails while attaching to it.
Any chance someone can look at this? It's a critical issue for oVirt.

Created attachment 603363 [details] Engine and VDSM logs, from the two boxes involved. Inside the .zip file are two .tar.bz2. One each for the ovirt engine log, and one for the vdsm log.
Just to clarify, by "two boxes involved" in my comment, I'm meaning the two servers in my test environment here. They're different boxes to Jason's ones, from the original report. Further useful info may be in BZ 847083 too. (same problem, before we knew it was kernel version specific)
Created attachment 603368 [details] vdsm log from F17 host w/ 3.5 kernel This is a vdsm log from an F17 ovirt host that had, while running a pre-3.5 kernel, been configured to use an NFS master data domain. Upon booting into the current 3.5 kernel, the host will no longer connect to the NFS domain. Booting back into the earlier kernel resolves the issue.
One of the vdsm process (from oop) crashed with the following backtrace: #0 0x00007fa0f9398925 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 #1 0x00007fa0f939a0d8 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:91 #2 0x00007fa0f93d864b in __libc_message (do_abort=do_abort@entry=2, fmt=fmt@entry=0x7fa0f94dbc28 "*** glibc detected *** %s: %s: 0x%s ***\n") at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/libc_fatal.c:198 #3 0x00007fa0f93df7ce in malloc_printerr (ptr=0x7fa09c00e000, str=0x7fa0f94dbce8 "double free or corruption (!prev)", action=3) at malloc.c:5027 #4 _int_free (av=0x7fa09c000020, p=0x7fa09c00dff0, have_lock=0) at malloc.c:3948 #5 0x00007fa0f632ee90 in ffi_call_unix64 () from /lib64/libffi.so.5 #6 0x00007fa0f632e8a0 in ffi_call () from /lib64/libffi.so.5 #7 0x00007fa0f6548cc3 in _call_function_pointer (argcount=1, resmem=0x7fa0adff66e0, restype=<optimized out>, atypes=<optimized out>, avalues=0x7fa0adff66c0, pProc=0x7fa0f93e3140 <__GI___libc_free>, flags=4361) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Modules/_ctypes/callproc.c:827 #8 _ctypes_callproc (pProc=pProc@entry=0x7fa0f93e3140 <__GI___libc_free>, argtuple=argtuple@entry=(<c_char_p at remote 0x1b72e60>,), flags=4361, argtypes=argtypes@entry=0x0, restype= <_ctypes.PyCSimpleType at remote 0x1c4fab0>, checker=0x0) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Modules/_ctypes/callproc.c:1174 #9 0x00007fa0f65423dd in PyCFuncPtr_call (self=<optimized out>, inargs=<optimized out>, kwds=0x0) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes.c:3913 #10 0x00007fa0fa081a7e in PyObject_Call (func=func@entry=<_FuncPtr(__name__='free') at remote 0x24a8ae0>, arg=arg@entry=(<c_char_p at remote 0x1b72e60>,), kw=kw@entry=0x0) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Objects/abstract.c:2529 #11 0x00007fa0fa1113e3 in do_call (nk=<optimized out>, na=1, pp_stack=0x7fa0adff6aa8, func=<_FuncPtr(__name__='free') at remote 0x24a8ae0>) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Python/ceval.c:4316 #12 call_function (oparg=<optimized out>, pp_stack=0x7fa0adff6aa8) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Python/ceval.c:4121 #13 PyEval_EvalFrameEx (f=f@entry= Frame 0x7fa09c00d5a0, for file /usr/share/vdsm/storage/fileUtils.py, line 272, in _createAlignedBuffer (self=<DirectFile(_closed=False, _writable=False, _mode='dr', _fd=3) at remote 0x1c82d90>, size=1024, pbuff=<c_char_p at remote 0x1b72e60>, ppbuff=<LP_c_char_p at remote 0x1b72cb0>, rc=0), throwflag=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.3/Python/ceval.c:2740 The relevant part for VDSM is vdsm/storage/fileUtils.py:272 259 @contextmanager 260 def _createAlignedBuffer(self, size): 261 pbuff = ctypes.c_char_p(0) 262 ppbuff = ctypes.pointer(pbuff) 263 # Because we usually have fixed sizes for our reads, caching 264 # buffers might give a slight performance boost. 265 rc = libc.posix_memalign(ppbuff, PAGESIZE, size) 266 if rc: 267 raise OSError(rc, "Could not allocate aligned buffer") 268 try: 269 ctypes.memset(pbuff, 0, size) 270 yield pbuff 271 finally: 272 libc.free(pbuff) As conclusion the NFS operation gets stuck because the helper died (why vdsm isn't detecting that the fd has been closed?). I'm still not sure if this is a VDSM issue that gets exposed only with the newer kernel, or if the glibc and the kernel currently have some issue with posix_memalign+free.

Is there any further information I can provide to help advance this bug? The current stable version of oVirt is broken due to this. Perhaps this would be better dealt with as a vdsm bug?

Perhaps this would be > better dealt with as a vdsm bug? We need someone to volunteer to backport these (master branch) to the ovirt-3.1 branch: 8f226cf Change oop to be a new process instead of a fork 41ca78b Fixing broken compilation b400488 fix logging 5bcb224 Add missing log object to CrabRPCServer http://gerrit.ovirt.org
As I suspected this affects also the vdsm master branch (it's not related to the oop mechanism used). I just found a vdsm host using crabrpc with the same issue (kernel 3.5.1-1.fc17.x86_64). I noticed this message: kernel: [86611.703352] python[27692]: segfault at 18 ip 0000003fb307b06b sp 00007fff34c3b240 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[3fb3000000+1ab000]
Fede, why is this on vdsm?
(In reply to comment #14) > Fede, why is this on vdsm? I hardly think that it's a kernel/glibc bug (posix_memalign/free are widely used). It could be a python/ctypes issue, but at the moment I'd try to figure out if we're using them properly (for example if there's any path that might lead to a double free on the same pointer, etc...).
@abaron -- anything we can do to make this a higher priority? It's a blocking issue for all ovirt-node use. If it needs to go to the kernel team or we need to pull in people from a different team, I'll do that, but I need to know who to talk to.
Jason, would you please try Saggi's http://gerrit.ovirt.org/8143 ?
(In reply to comment #18) > Jason, would you please try Saggi's http://gerrit.ovirt.org/8143 ? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I built a new rpm from vdsm master and, after modding the spec file to work with the version of libvirt that comes with F17, installed the package. It didn't fix the problem. Then, I changed the spec file back to its previous libvirt requirement, and also built a newer libvirt for my F17 host.

I tried with this build, and unfortunately, the issue remains. I updated an F17 host (different than that one I'd been testing my self-built pkgs on) with the vdsm build referenced below. With kernel 3.5.4, my host would not attach to my existing, gluster-based nfs data domain. I also tried to create a new data domain, nfs based but non-gluster, and the host running 3.5.4 showed the same behavior as reported earlier -- wouldn't attach. I also tried with kernel 3.4.6 & this new vdsm build, and my gluster and non-gluster nfs domains, etc. -- all that continued to work normally. > > * Mon Sep 24 2012 Federico Simoncelli <fsimonce> 4.10.0-9.fc17 > - BZ#845660 Use the recommended alignment instead of using pagesize > > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=356119 > > Thanks.

I tried it myself too and indeed the issue is not solved yet. # grep _PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN /usr/share/vdsm/storage/fileUtils.py _PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN = 17 alignment = libc.fpathconf(self.fileno(), _PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN) # uname -r 3.5.4-1.fc17.x86_64 # ls -l /var/log/core/core.2187.1348563252.dump -rw-------. 1 vdsm kvm 2573868 Sep 25 04:54 /var/log/core/core.2187.1348563252.dump
Anything else others can do to help w/ this? I've got a new home lab setup, but stuck on what appears to be this bug (ovirt 3.1 stable branch)...

Jason, Bert - could you please try the patch mentioned in comment #24?
(In reply to comment #25) > Jason, Bert - could you please try the patch mentioned in comment #24? OK, this is looking good. On my F17 setup, running kernel 3.5.4 with vdsm built w/ the above patch, my nfs iso domain is up. I wasn't 100% positive about the right way to build a pkg w/ this patch, so let me confirm that: I have vdsm from git: git clone http://gerrit.ovirt.org/p/vdsm.git, and that's up to date. Then I did: git fetch git://gerrit.ovirt.org/vdsm refs/changes/56/8356/3 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD -- That's the checkout line for the patch referenced above. So I ran that, then continued as directed on ttp://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Developers#Building_a_Vdsm_RPM. I replaced the vdsm pkgs on my f17 ovirt 3.1 test box w/ those, rebooted, it's running 3.5.4, and my nfs iso domain is up.
Fixed in vdsm-4.10.0-10.fc17 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=358280 Jason can you give it a try? Thanks.

I believe this is now fixed
