[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 00/10] Add colo-proxy based on netfilter

[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v2 00/10] Add colo-proxy based on netfilter

[Zhang Chen]

From: zhangchen <zhangchen.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com>

Hi,all

This patch add an colo-proxy object, COLO-Proxy is a part of COLO,
based on qemu netfilter and it's a plugin for qemu netfilter. the function
keep Secondary VM connect normal to Primary VM and compare packets
sent by PVM to sent by SVM.if the packet difference,notify COLO do
checkpoint and send all primary packet has queued.

You can also get the series from:

https://github.com/zhangckid/qemu/tree/colo-v2.2-periodic-mode-with-colo-proxyV2

Usage:

primary:
-netdev tap,id=bn0 -device e1000,netdev=bn0
-object colo-proxy,id=f0,netdev=bn0,queue=all,mode=primary,addr=host:port

secondary:
-netdev tap,id=bn0 -device e1000,netdev=bn0
-object colo-proxy,id=f0,netdev=bn0,queue=all,mode=secondary,addr=host:port 

NOTE:
queue must set "all". See enum NetFilterDirection for detail.
colo-proxy need queue all packets
colo-proxy V2 just can compare ip packet


## Background

COLO FT/HA (COarse-grain LOck-stepping Virtual Machines for Non-stop Service)
project is a high availability solution. Both Primary VM (PVM) and Secondary VM
(SVM) run in parallel. They receive the same request from client, and generate
responses in parallel too. If the response packets from PVM and SVM are
identical, they are released immediately. Otherwise, a VM checkpoint (on
demand)is conducted.

Paper:
http://www.socc2013.org/home/program/a3-dong.pdf?attredirects=0

COLO on Xen:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/COLO_-_Coarse_Grain_Lock_Stepping

COLO on Qemu/KVM:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/COLO

By the needs of capturing response packets from PVM and SVM and finding out
whether they are identical, we introduce a new module to qemu networking
called colo-proxy.

V2:
  rebase colo-proxy with qemu-colo-v2.2-periodic-mode
  fix dave's comments
  fix wency's comments
  fix zhanghailiang's comments

v1:
  initial patch.

You use the 'colo_proxy' trace in a lot of different places;  it would
be better to use individual trace entries, so for example you could
just trace miscompares.

That does not build, the header in qemu is bitop*s*.h.

No! It's:

Please at least build test this code!

Fix it to #include "qemu/bitops.h"
I have rebuild this code,but qemu makefile did't check the .h
I don't know whether it is a qemu bug.
you can try change it to #include "qemu/bitops.h" and make.
then change it to #include "qemu/bitopts.h" and make.
repeat it twice, now, you can change it to #include "everything"
in jhash.h. gcc don't check the .h and report error.////

gcc/makefile don't check these things; it's when you include the
next patch in your series, that #include "qemu/jhash.h" in colo-proxy.c
which is where it will break.

I found that I had to be careful that this queue got flushed.  If the packet
can't be sent immediately, then the packet only gets sent if another
packet is added to the queue later.  I added a state change notifier to
flush it when the VM started running (this is more of a problem in my hybrid
mode case).

Note also that the queue is not protected by locks; so take care since packets
are sent from both the comparison thread and the colo thread (when it flushes)
and I think it's read by the main thread as well potentially as packets are sent.

Hi, Dave.
Thanks for your review, I will pay attention to this problem in the 
following modules.
and We have split colo-proxy to filter-mirror, filter-redirector, 
filter-rewriter and
colo-compare about jason's comments. The detail please look at the 
discussion
about "[RFC PATCH v2 00/10] Add colo-proxy based on netfilter" . If you 
have time,
please review it.

Thanks

I found one problem with the socket setup is that the
packets from the primary and secondary aren't tied to the
checkpoint they are part of; so for example a packet from the secondary
may reach the primary at the start of the next checkpoint, causing a
miscomparison.
I added a counter to discard old packets.

Be careful about these lists and which threads access them;
I found I could occasionally trigger a seg fault as two
threads tried to manipulate them at once; I just put a 'list_lock'
in the connection, which seems to fix it, but I might have to be
more careful with deadlocks.

These fields are not byteswapped; it makes it very confusing
when printing them for debug;  I added htons around every
reading of the ports from the packets.

Thanks for your work to colo.
and where can I  see your code for colo-proxy?
maybe I need it to make my code better.

I'll clean it up and post it in the next couple of days.

> maybe I need it to make my code better.

Maybe, but it's a bit hacky at the moment,  I added
on sequence number compensation, like in the old kernel proxy,
but I've only done it for inbound connections, and the code
doesn't yet:
   a) Handle sequence numbers after failover
   b) deal with socket shutdown properly
   c) try to deal with TCP fragmentation.

There's lots of different places we get random data from that
throws the comparison.

Here is my latest version; it seems to just about work; but very
much still working on it:

 with the wp4-colo-rdma-2016-02-23 tag.

From: zhangchen <zhangchen.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com>

We will compare packet sent by primary guest
to secondary guest,if same,send primary packet.
else we will notify colo to do checkpoint to
make secondary guset running same as primary

Are you sure the 'ppkt' and 'spkt' are the right way around in colo_packet_compare?
(Not that in this simple version it makes much difference).
My reading of g_queue_find_custom's man page is that the first parameter
of the compare function comes from the list, which is the secondary.

You pop the packets off the head of the primary list above,
but push it back to the tail here; why do you reorder?

Hi~
Just a small ping...
No news for a week.
Colo proxy is a part of COLO project, we need review and comments.


Thanks

Thanks for the work. I don't object this method but still not convinced
that qemu is the best place for this.

As been raised in the past discussion, it's almost impossible to
cooperate with vhost backends. If we want this to be used in production
environment, need to think of a solution for vhost. There's no such
worry if we decouple this from qemu.

Have a quick glance at how secondary mode work. What it does is just
forwarding packets between a nic and a socket, qemu socket backend did
exact the same job. You could even use socket in primary node and let
packet compare module talk to both primary and secondary node.

Yes, I agree with you. But not everything is perfect at the beginning.
If we implement proxy as kernel modules, maybe some one will ask how
about the packet(e.g. vhost-user) that host kernel can not touch.

As you said, colo-proxy in qemu will not support vhost scene, but it can make
colo more easier to be used so that more and more pepole will join us to test it.
I'm looking forward to that day.

if everything goes fine, I think colo can support vhost scene in other way(such as
introduce extra proxy module in kernel) in the feature.

So, I think colo-proxy in qemu is a good choice for current COLO.

Thanks

Then I think the best place is still in userspace but not qemu.  With
this the packet comparing module can easily accept the mirrored traffic
from both kernel and userspace. And qemu part can focus on the
infrastructures to support them (e.g mirroring traffic to a socket or
elsewhere).

Agree, so moving this out of qemu can greatly reduce the complexity and
make it easier to be merged.

I believe we don't want duplicate codes & bugs(fixes) in two places.

If we use qemu socket backend , the same netdev will used by qemu socket 
and
qemu netfilter. this will against qemu net design. and then, when colo 
do failover,
secondary do not have backend to use. that's the real problem.

Then, maybe it's time to implement changing the netdev of a nic. The
point here is that what secondary mode did is in fact a netdev backend
instead of a filter ...

Currently, you are right. in colo-proxy V2 code, I just compare IP packet to
decide whether to do checkpoint.
But, in colo-proxy V3 I will compare tcp,icmp,udp packet to decide it.
because that can reduce frequency of checkpoint and improve
performance. To keep tcp connection well, colo secondary need to record
primary guest's init seq and adjust secondary guest's ack. if colo do 
failover,
secondary also need do this to old tcp connection. qemu socket
can't do this job. and another problem is do failover, if we use qemu socket
to be backend in secondary, when colo do failover, I don't know how to 
change
secondary be a normal qemu, if you know, please tell me.

So a question here: is it a must to do things (e.g TCP analysis stuffs)
at secondary? Looks like we could do this at primary node. And I saw
you're doing packet comparing in primary node, any advantages of doing
this in primary instead of secondary?

Current qemu couldn't do this, but I mean we implement something like
nic_change_backend which can change nic's peer(s). With this, in
secondary, we can replace the socket backend with whatever you want (e.g
tap or other).

We think must  to do this in secondary, because if colo do 
failover,secondary
must continues do TCP analysis stuffs to before tcp connection(if not, 
tcp connection
will disconnect in that time), in this time primary already down or 
disconnect to
secondary.so we can't make primary do this  TCP analysis stuffs.it can 
not ensure
FT function.

Hi~, Jason.
No news for a week.
Can you give me some comments for code.
Let's make colo-proxy work well.

Thanks

Sure.

Two main comments/suggestions:

- TCP analysis is missed in current version, maybe you point a git tree
(or another version of RFC) to me for a better understanding of the
design. (Just a skeleton for TCP should be sufficient to discuss).
- I prefer to make the code as reusable as possible. So it's better to
split/decouple the reusable parts from the codes. So a vague idea is:

1) Decouple the packet comparing from the netfilter. You've achieved
this 99% since the work has been done in a thread. Just let the thread
poll sockets directly, then the comparing have the possibility to be
reused by other kinds of dataplane.
2) Implement traffic mirror/redirector as filter.
3) Implement TCP seq rewriting as a filter.

Then, in primary node, you need just a traffic mirror, which did:
- mirror ingress traffic to secondary node
- mirror outgress traffic to packet comparing thread

And in secondadry node, you need two filters:
- A TCP seq rewriter which adjust tcp sequence number.
- A traffic redirector which redirect packet from a socket as ingress
traffic, and redirect outgress traffic to the socket which could be
polled by remote packet comparing thread.
 
Thoughts?

Hi, Jason.
We consider your suggestion to split/decouple
the reusable parts from the codes.
Due to filter plugin are traversed one by one in order
we will split colo-proxy to three filters in each side.

But in this plan,primary and secondary both have socket
server,startup is a problem.

guest recv packet route

primary
tap --> mirror client filter
mirror client will send packet to guest,at the
same time, copy and forward packet to secondary
mirror server.

secondary
mirror server filter --> TCP rewriter
if recv packet is TCP packet,we will adjust ack
and update TCP checksum, then send to secondary
guest. else directly send to guest.


guest send packet route

primary
guest --> redirect server filter
redirect server filter recv primary guest packet
but do nothing, just pass to next filter.

redirect server filter --> compare filter
compare filter recv primary guest packet then
waiting scondary redirect packet to compare it.
if packet same,send primary packet and clear secondary
packet, else send primary packet and do
checkpoint.

secondary
guest --> TCP rewriter filter
if the packet is TCP packet,we will adjust seq
and update TCP checksum. then send it to
redirect client filter. else directly send to
redirect client filter.

redirect client filter --> redirect server filter
forward packet to primary


In failover scene（primary is down）, the TCP rewriter will keep servicing
for the TCP connection which is established after the last checkpoint。



How about this plan?

I believe this issue could be solved by reusing socket chardev.

I still like to decouple comparer from netfilter. It have two obvious
advantages:

- make it can be reused by other dataplane (e.g vhost)
- secondary redirector could redirect rx to comparer on primary node
directly which simplify the design.

Sounds good.

And there's indeed no need to differ client/server by reusing the socket
chardev. E.g:

In primary node:

...
-chardev socket,id=comparer0,host=ip_primary,port=X,server,nowait
-chardev socket,id=comparer1,host=ip_primary,port=Y,server,nowait
-chardev socket,id=mirrorer0,host=ip_primary,port=Z,server,nowait
-netdev tap,id=hn0
-traffic-mirrorer netdev=hn0,id=t0,indev=comparer0,outdev=mirrorer0
-colo-comparer primary_traffic=comparer0,secondary_traffic=comparer1
...

packet comparer compares the packets from two chardev: comparer0 and
comparer1.
traffic-mirrorer mirror tx to secondary node through chardev mirrorer0,
and mirror rx to packet comparer through chardev comparer0.

In secondary node:

...
-chardev socket,id=redirector0,host=ip_primary,port=Y
-chardev socket,id=redirector1,host=ip_primary,port=Z
-netdev tap,id=hn0
-traffic-redirector netdev=hn0,id,r0,indev=redirector0,outdev=redirector1
-colo-rewriter netdev=hn0,id=c0
...

traffic-redirector redirect the rx traffic from primary node through
redirector0 and redirect the tx traffic to promary node through redirector1.
colo-rewriter rewrite seq number as a normal netfilter.

What are traffic-mirrorer and colo-comparer, traffic-redirector, colo-rewriter?
A netfilter driver?

If not, how to get the packet from the netdev, and send back the packet to
the netdev?

traffic-mirrorer/redirector is a type of netfilter that just
mirror/redirect packets between netdev and chardev (just the mirror
client/sever and redirect client/sever in the above graph)
colo-rewriter is a type of netfilter that did ack/seq adjust (just the
TCP rewriter in the above graph)
colo-comparer is a thread object that did packet comparing (similar to
"compare" in the above graph but not a netfiler)

Thanks. I have another question:
IIRC, both rx and tx packets walk through all netfilter objects in the same order.

tx packet(sent to the guest): we want that redirector hanldes it first
rx packet(sent from the guest): we want that colo-rewriter handles it first
Change the order or use two traffic-redirectors?

Thanks

Interesting question.

Two redirectors sounds ok or maybe we can go through rx filters in a
reverse order?

netdev <---> filter1 <----> filter2 <----> .... <----> emulated device <----> guest
So I think we can go through rx filters in a reverse order. But it changes
the behavior. So I am not sure if we can do it.

I think we can. Both dump and buffer filter does not require strict
order, so it's a good time and change to do this.

Why mirrorer has indev? I think we can use traffic-redirector to do it.
The command line is:
-netdev tap,id=hn0
-object traffic-mirrorer,id=f0,netdev=hn0,queue=tx,outdev=mirrorer0
-object traffic-redirector,id=f1,netdev=hn0,queue=rx,outdev=comparer0
-colo-comparer primary_traffic=comparer0,secondary_traffic=comparer1,netdev=hn0
In the comparer thread, we can use qemu_net_queue_send_iov() to send
out the packet.

Also, we can merge the socketdev comparer1 and mirrorer0.

As I said in the previous mails. I would like to decouple packet
comparing from netfilter. You've already done most of this since the
comparing is done in an independent thread. So the indev here is to
mirror the packet sent by guest to the packet comparing thread.

It depends on whether or not packet comparing was done in a net filter
(which I prefer not).

I mean that: packet comapring is done in a thread, not a net filter.
The flow of the packet sent from guest:
1. traffice-redirecotr, we will redirector the packet to comparer0, the next
   filter will never see it.
2. comparing thread: read it from socket chardev comparer0
3. call qemu_net_queue_send_iov() to send it back to the netdev.

Ok, looks like I miss something.

My suggestion tries best to let the packet comparing not tie to filter
or netdev. But your suggestion still need it to be coupled with a
netdev. Any advantages of doing this (or is there a reason that packet
must be sent to netdev after doing comparing?). If not, why not just
mirror (duplicate the packet and forward it to a chardev, and pass the
original packet to the next filter or netdev)? And doing
qemu_net_queue_send_iov() to a netdev in another thread may need some
synchronization with iothread.

Yes, the packet must be sent to netdev after doing comparing. If both
the primary packet and secondary packet are the same(contains the same
application level data), we will drop the secondary packet, and send the
primary packet to the netdev. Otherwise, we will sync the state.

We cannot send the packet to the netdev before comparing. We need to keep
the connection after failover.

No, the primary packet must be sent back to the netdev, so the client can receive
the response.

For example:
1. guest has a ftp server
2. we connect to the ftp server via the network
3. both primary guest and secondary guest receive this request
4. both primary guest and secondary guest ack it
5. we compare these two ack packets in the comparing thread
6. it is the same(the seqno is different, but it is not important, we can modify it in
   colo-rewriter). So we drop the secondary packets, and sent back the primary packet
   to netdev
7. The primary ack packet is sent to the ftp client via netdev.

The ftp client only cares of the received packet. So if the packets from primay
and secondary guest contain the same data, we can say they are in the "same" state.

Our goal is that: the connection is OK after failover, and the user doesn't know one of
the hosts crashed.

If it sent out regardless the result of comparing, and primary host crashes. The connection
may be corrupted after failover. For example: the packet from primary and secondary host
contains different host, and we send the primary packet before comparing. The primary host
crashes before comparing these two packets. After failover, the connection may be reset or
the client doesn't receive the correct data, or some unexpected problems occurs.

Another example(tcp):
1. primary guest acks 100, and secondary guest only ack 95(some packet is lost in the guest)
2. client doesn't resend the lost packet
3. the connection will be recovered after the next checkpoint
If we do failover before the next checkpoint, there is no way to recover this connection.

If we send out the packet after comparing, we can assume that the client always receives the
same data.

Thanks. I think I get the point. So if there's a difference, primary
packet will only be sent after checkpoint and we could not assume the
checkpoint itself is reliable.

Back to the filters design. We'd better still decouple packet comparing
out of netdev. Maybe a little bit more tweak on what you've suggested:

-netdev tap,id=hn0
-object traffic-mirrorer,id=f0,netdev=hn0,queue=tx,outdev=mirrorer0
-object
traffic-redirector,id=f1,netdev=hn0,queue=rx,outdev=comparer0,indev=comparer2
-colo-comparer
primary_traffic=comparer0,secondary_traffic=comparer1,outdev=comparer2

Just add one more socket for comparer for sending primary packet, and
let f1 redirector its output to netdev?

...content-wise, you only added about 100 bytes.  It's okay to trim

It needs to do this on the secondary; the trick is that things like TCP sequence
numbers are likely to be different on the primary and secondary; the kernel colo-proxy
implementation solved this problem by rewriting the sequence numbers on
the secondary to match the primary, after a failover, the secondary has
to keep doing that rewrite to ensure existing connections are OK.
Thus it's holding some state about the current connections.
I think also, to be able to do a 2nd failover (i.e. recover from the 1st failure
and then sometime later have another) you'd have to sync this
state over to a new host, so again that says the state needs to be part of
qemu or at least easily available to it.

Right, if it does thing like tcp seq rewrite (which is missed in current
version), it works much more like a netfilter. Wonder if the function is
generic enough for users other than colo.

I can imagine the sequence number rework might be, but I doubt the packet
comparison is.

Yes, it is. we have some code fix in other colo unrelated file.

That doesn't seem to be what's happening in that git tree.
For example, your patch '[RFC PATCH v2 01/10] Init colo-proxy object based on netfilter'
adds the colo-proxy object to qemu-options.hx, but in that git tree
it comes from Li Zhijian's 'add proxy prototype' patch.
If you're going to include a git link with a series then please
make sure it contains exactly the patches posted.
It's OK to add some more patches somewhere, e.g. on a different tag or
branch, but make sure the one that you post for the series matches
the series posted.

Hi Zhangchen,
  How are you dealing with the IP 'identification' field?
It's a very very random field, and not just the initial value in the connection.
I can't see how the kernel colo-proxy dealt with it either; but I think it's
comparison was after defragementation so probably ignored the identification
field - wouldn't that confuse a client at failover?

You are right, most kernel colo-proxy code is working at mangle table (after defrag).
and colo proxy only compare the contents of L4(TCP/UDP) excluding IP identification.

>  - wouldn't that confuse a client at failover?
Err..., instersting question.

for example, a COLO including primay(PVM) adn secondary(SVM)
1. primay is sending a compared P_IP packet(identification=0x12345, split to IP_s1, IP_s2..IP_s100) to client
2. client is receiving the ip segment(but IP_s2, IP_s50, IP_s80..IP_s99 are missing)
    and primary host is down.
3. secondary VM takeover, and send a S_IP packet(ip contents is always same as at PVM)

in step 3,
if the S_IP identification isn't 0x12345, client will drop the ip segment at step 2 because of defrag timeout.
if the S_IP identification isn 0x12345, client may mix the segment from PVM or SVM(just like segment come
from different router), but that's Okay, because we have ensured the ip contents is identical.

so IMO, it will not confuse the client at failover.

So that triggers a timeout (30 second?) - hmm OK, a bit slow but OK.

Could the S_IP identification match a later/earlier fragment?
