glib crash via eventtest.c
by Cole Robinson 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

I attempted to review some patches on Friday and started hitting occasional crashes via eventtest.c. Long story short it's a glib bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/merge_requests/1358 It's a ref counting issue caused when g_source_remove (virEventRemoveHandle) is called from one thread, while the main loop is in a particular state in a different thread. The way vireventglib is implemented means every user initiated g_source_remove is likely called from a different thread so we risk hitting this. Not sure how likely it is in realworld usage, vireventtest.c is pretty pathologic in this area. We could change vireventglib.c to do the final source_unref from the idle callback which would avoid the problem Thanks, Cole

I'm simply re-posting these patches on behalf of Shaju who is unable to post the patches due to our broken mail server. Don't take this as meaning that I approve of the patches. They're simply here for discussion as any other patch proposal is. Thank you for forwarding the patch to the list, Danpb. That is largely still my view. Sure, and we will be happy to discuss this further, as noted below :) > To give you a background, we have live patching enhancements in IBM backlog > since a few years ago, and one on the reasons these were being postponed > time and time again were the lack of Libvirt support and this direction of > "Libvirt is not interested in supporting it". And this message above was being > used internally as the rationale for it. Hi Daniel HB, Thank you for pointing out the fact that this has been in discussion since 2013. While Shaju's patches were independent as an RFC, we will be happy to collaborate to push for a joint solution. The fact that this has been requested time and again, and the fact that most commercial cloud deployments out there already have an in-place upgrade story [1] [2] -- should be good reason we holistically examine the use case once again. [1] https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2005389 [2] https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3297858.3304034 Danpb had explained in much detail as to why mangling file and particularly socket paths can be messy in this patchset. However, even if libvirtd blocks in-place migrations for such legacy VMs until apps switch to more stringent XML semantics, it still may help cutting edge apps that intend to leverage this. I understand the presence of collision-causing file and socket paths can easily be checked as pre-migration checks, and should be trivial to implement. We can include a revised patchset with this check in place. Support for this feature has been present in qemu for a while for this use-case, and so maybe it is time we pass on the goodness up the stack as well. Happy to discuss more details on implementation and semantics, Warm regards, Prerna Saxena
