Hello all,
I believe I have found a bug in the I/O scheduler which results in
access to a block device being blocked indefinitely.
The setup:
* Xen dom0 version 3.4.2.
* domU: Ubuntu 10.04, x86_64, with kernel 2.6.32.15+drm33.5.
* Paravirtual disks and network interfaces.
* Root filesystem on /dev/xvdb1
* A scratch filesystem for the purposes of my tests on /dev/xvda
mounted on /mnt
* Both filesystems are ext3, formatted and mounted with defaults
* XVBDs are backed by LVM on top of an iSCSI SAN in the dom0.
Activities leading up to the incident:
To reproduce the bug, I run the VM on a Xen host which has a moderate
workload of other VMs. (It seems to manifest itself more readily than
if the host is otherwise idle).
I repeatedly rsync the contents of a Linux install CD to an arbitrary
location on the scratch filesystem, e.g. /mnt/test, then rm -rf the
lot, and rsync again. It can sometimes take a few iterations before
the bug is triggered. Sometimes it's triggered on the rsync, sometimes
on the rm.
At some point during either the rsync or the rm, all the processes
accessing /dev/xvda (rsync, kjournald, flush) become stuck in the D
state. After 120 seconds the warnings start to appear in dmesg:
[ 840.070508] INFO: task rm:1455 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[ 840.070514] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs"
disables this message.
Full dmesg output is below, including call traces which show that each
of these processes is stuck in io_schedule or sync_buffer called from
io_schedule.
I believe I have eliminated:
* Problems with the underlying physical device
- The same bug has manifested itself on two completely separate
sets of hardware, with different servers, switches, and SANs.
* Problems with the host's iSCSI initiator
- Other VMs depending on the same iSCSI session are unaffected
- Other XVBDs within the same VM (in this case: /dev/xvdb1 mounted
on /) are unaffected
Things I've tried:
* Noop, deadline, cfq and anticipatory elevators.
* Reducing the VM's vCPU count to 1. I _wasn't_ able to trigger the
bug under only one vCPU.
Unfortunately the steps to reproduce are rather long winded once you
factor in setting up the Xen dom0 which is in this case Citrix
XenServer, so if there is any way I can help with that please let me
know, e.g. by arranging remote access to my existing test environment
or by supplying a VM template image. However I don't believe this
problem is limited to this environment as I have seen quite a few
reports of similar or identical issues elsewhere (but not on LKML...):
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-06/msg00590.html
- same issue reported with a non-commercial and more recent Xen
version than mine. Also links to three Redhat bug reports showing
similar behaviour.
Thanks for your time,
Doug

Did you try these different I/O schedulers in the domU or on the dom0?
Does switching I/O schedulers in either place make the problem go away
when it happens?

In the domU, and the bug was present in all cases. The dom0 was using
cfq. I'll run the tests again using each scheduler in the dom0 with
domU set to noop and report back.
Thanks,

While I think this is an interesting test, you need only test one I/O
scheduler in the dom0. Also, I think you misunderstood the second
question. I'd like to know if switching I/O schedulers while the system
is in this bad state helps get I/O going again.
Cheers,
Jeff

Jeff,
Issue confirmed in the following cases:
dom0:domU
noop:noop
noop:deadline
noop:anticipatory
cfq:noop
cfq:deadline
cfq:anticipatory
cfq:cfq
I try switching schedulers in the domU during the lockup, the echo x >
/sys/block/xvda/queue/scheduler command also hangs. In the dom0, no
effect.
Cheers,
Doug

OK. So, this means that the I/O is not hung up in the I/O scheduler. I
don't have a whole lot of experience with the Xen I/O stack, but I think
that's where I'd start digging (especially if there's nothing in the
logs about command timed out).
I hope this was a somewhat helpful exercise. Sorry I can't be of more
help.
Cheers!

Hmm.. recently there was some patches to the Xen block device frontend driver
(sent to lkml). Maybe you should try if those make a difference?

I think this is more likely to be related to the lost interrupt bug
which I sent fixes up for last week ("xen: use percpu interrupts for
IPIs and VIRQs" and "xen: handle events as edge-triggered").
Doug, as a workaround, try disabling irqbalanced.
