[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1769189] [NEW] Issue with qemu 2.12.0 + UEFI

[François Guerraz]

Public bug reported:

(first reported here: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949
)

I had a Windows 10 VM running perfectly fine with OVMF UEFI, since I
upgraded to qemu 2.12, the guests hangs for a couple of minutes, works
for a few seconds, and hangs again, etc. By "hang" I mean it doesn't
freeze, but it looks like it's waiting on IO or something, I can move
the mouse but everything needing disk access is unresponsive.

What doesn't work: qemu 2.12 with OVMF
What works: using BIOS or downgrading qemu to 2.11.1.

Platform is arch linux 4.16.7 on skylake, I have attached the vm xml
file.

I'm seeing the same Win10 I/O stall problem with qemu 2.12, but with a vm with BIOS, not UEFI.
The solution for me is only dowgrading for now.

I have the same issue. When I open the task manager on the virtualized Windows 10 VM I see the HDD time is at 100% but the data transfer rate is actual 0b/s. 
I've tried any combination of the options below and the issue was always reproducible with qemu-2.12.0-1 and never with qemu-2.11.1-2.

Linux kernels:
- 4.14.5-1
- 4.16.7

Windows 10 Verson (for the VM) 
- 1709
- 1803

Boot HDD for VM
- Actual SSD (/dev/sda)
- QCOW2 Image

QEMU 
- qemu-2.11.1-2
- qemu-2.12.0-1


I also use ARCH Linux and have also downgraded to pre 2.12 QEMU

[Bruce Rogers]

I've tried bisecting a few times, but since my reproducer wasn't
reliable enough, I didn't identify the issue. (I see a bisect reported
on qemu ML which seems like a bogus result, similar to mine).

In my case, after the "hang", Windows 10 resets the ahci device after 2
minutes and it continues on until another hang happens. Seems fairly
random. I increased the number of vcpu's assigned which seemed to
increase the likelihood of the hang.

I also went so far as to instrument an injection of the ahci interrupt
via the monitor (total kludge, I know), and the guest did get out of the
hung condition right away when I did that.

I tried bisecting as well, and I wound up at:

1a423896 -- five out of five boot attempts succeeded.
d759c951 -- five out of five boot attempts failed.


d759c951f3287fad04210a52f2dc93f94cf58c7f is the first bad commit
commit d759c951f3287fad04210a52f2dc93f94cf58c7f
Author: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org>
Date:   Tue Feb 27 12:52:48 2018 +0300

    replay: push replay_mutex_lock up the call tree



My methodology was to boot QEMU like this:

./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -cpu host -M q35 -enable-kvm
-smp 4 -drive id=sda,if=none,file=/home/bos/jhuston/windows_10.qcow
-device ide-hd,drive=sda -qmp tcp::4444,server,nowait

and run it three times with -snapshot and see if it hung during boot; if
it did, I marked the commit bad. If it did not, I booted and attempted
to log in and run CrystalDiskMark. If it froze before I even launched
CDM, I marked it bad.

Interestingly enough, on a subsequent (presumably bad) commit (6dc0f529)
which hangs fairly reliably on bootup (66%) I can occasionally get into
Windows 10 and run CDM -- and that unfortunately does not seem to
trigger the error again, so CDM doesn't look like a reliable way to
trigger the hangs.



Anyway, d759c951 definitely appears to change the odds of AHCI locking up during boot for me, and I suppose it might have something to do with how it is changing the BQL acquisition/release in main-loop.c, but I am not sure why/what yet.

Before this patch, we only lock the iothread and re-lock it if there was
a timeout, and after this patch we *always* lock and unlock the
iothread. This is probably just exposing some latent bug in the AHCI
emulator that has always existed, but now the odds of seeing it are much
higher.

I'll have to dig as to what the race is -- I'm not sure just yet.


If those of you who are seeing this bug too could confirm for me that d759c951 appears to be the guilty party, that probably wouldn't hurt.

Thanks!

There might be multiple issues present and I'm having difficulty
reliably doing any kind of regression testing here, but I think this
patch helps fix at least one of the issues I was seeing that occurs
specifically during early boot. It may fix other hangs.

[Peter Maloney]

Could this affect virtio-scsi? I'm not so sure since it's not perfectly
reliable to reproduce, but v2.12.0 was hanging for me for a few minutes
at a time with virtio-scsi cache=writeback showing 100% disk util%. I
never had issues booting up, and didn't try SATA. v2.11.1 was fine.

My first attempt to bisect didn't turn out right... had some false
positives I guess. The 2nd attempt (telling git the bads from first try)
got to 89e46eb477113550485bc24264d249de9fd1260a as latest good (which is
4 commits *after* the bisect by John Snow) and
7273db9d28d5e1b7a6c202a5054861c1f0bcc446 as bad.

But testing with this patch, it seems to work (or false positive
still... after a bunch of usage). And so I didn't finish the bisect.

[John Snow]

The fix posted exclusively changes the behavior of AHCI devices; however
the locking changes that jostled the AHCI bug loose could in theory
jostle loose some bugs in other devices, too.

I don't think it is possible that the fix for AHCI would have any impact
on virtio-scsi devices.

If you're seeing issues in virtio-scsi, I'd make a new writeup in a new LP.

I think I was hit with very same bug.

I did bisect with 2.11.0 as good point and 2.12.0 as bad point.

configure was 

setarch 
i486 ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gtk --enable-virglrenderer --enable-sdl --with-sdlabi=2.0 --audio-drv-list=alsa,oss --host-cc=/opt/gcc49/bin/gcc --enable-opengl --extra-cflags="-I/usr/X11R7/include -O3 -march=i686 -mtune=native -m32 -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -Wno-nested-externs -Wno-implicit-function-declaration" --disable-werror --target-list="x86_64-softmmu"

and launch command

x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom 
~/Downloads/ISO/slax-English-US-7.0.8-x86_64.iso -enable-kvm -m 1G -M q35

    replay: avoid recursive call of checkpoints

    This patch adds a flag which denies recursive call of replay_checkpoint
    function. Checkpoints may be accompanied by the hardware events. When event
    is processed, virtual device may invoke timer modification functions that
    also invoke the checkpoint function. This leads to infinite loop.

Hi Andrew,
Please try John Snow's SATA fixes for QEMU 2.12.0.  If you can't build
QEMU from source you can wait for QEMU 2.12.1 to be released with the
fixes.

The patch series was titled "[PATCH 0/3] ahci: fix completion race
condition".

You can grab it from git here: https://github.com/jnsnow/qemu/commits/ide

[Andrew Randrianasulu]

For me issue was fixed with «[PATCH 2/3] ahci: fix PxCI register race»

I additionally patched my qemu build with "[PATCH] e1000e: Do not auto-clear ICR 
bits which aren't set in EIAC" - so new network adapter for q35 machine works 
with KDE Neon liveDVD for example ....
