Xen BUG at mm-locks.h:118 in 4.2.1 - mm locking order violation - Dom0 reboot

Hi,


I''ve just installed a self-built Xen 4.2.1 package on a debian wheezy
and when trying to run a HVM VM (that I was previously running with
the official xen 4.0 package on squeeze), it starts fine and I can
even use the VM for a few minutes then suddenly I loose all
communication with VM and the Dom0 and it just reboots ...

I enabled the xen serial console and this is what I got when the crash happens:

Any suggestions ?

It is very reproducible and it''s on a test machine I can reboot any
time, so if you need more debug info, I can collect it.
I don''t have any different hw to test on unfortunately.


Cheers,

Minimally you will want to let us know at what changeset you
cloned your tree.

From the stack trace, I assume that the guest is running in shadow mode
?  Can you confirm this?

Is this exactly 4.2.1, some later revision from 4.2-testing or otherwise
patches? Can you let us know the comit id.

Please can you share the domain configuration. Are you running PV
drivers (esp. ballooning) within it?

Re: Xen BUG at mm-locks.h:118 in 4.2.1 - mm locking order violation - Dom0 reboot

Hi, 

Thanks for the report.

Did you make any changes to Xen before you built it, or were you just
building your own to get 4.2?

Hmm, taking the p2m lock with the pod lock held. :( My guess would be
the p2m_lock() in p2m_pod_emergency_sweep().

Do you by any chance have the xen-syms file from when you built Xen?
That would let us see exactly what''s happened.

In the meantime, perhaps you could try the attached (untested) patch.
If my guess is right, it ought to stop the crashes but you might find
the VM''s performance suffers.

Cheers,

Tim.

Re: Xen BUG at mm-locks.h:118 in 4.2.1 - mm locking order violation - Dom0 reboot

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback, let me try to answer the various questions.

> Did you make any changes to Xen before you built it, or were you just
> building your own to get 4.2?
It''s based on the official .tar.bz2 from the website, and built using
the debian/ from the 4.2.0 debian package. There are some patches
applied in the debian build but I don''t see any that patch the actual
code, just small adaptation to the build and install system to follow
the debian conventions.

So it should be functionally equivalent to an official 4.2.1 . I can
put the compiled binary online if needed.

> Please can you share the domain configuration. Are you running PV
> drivers (esp. ballooning) within it?
There is no xen driver running in there.

Here''s the config which is based on the example hvm config:

---------
builder = "hvm"
name   = "wxp-00"
vcpus = 2
memory = 1536
maxmem = 2048
viridian = 1
vif = [ ''type=ioemu,bridge=br0,mac=00:16:3e:35:ad:12'' ]
disk = [ ''/dev/xen-disks/wxp-00-test,raw,xvda,w'', ]
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot   = ''restart''
on_crash    = ''restart''
vnc=1
vncunused=0
vnclisten = ''0.0.0.0''
vncdisplay=0
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''xxx''
--------

You can get it at http://ge.tt/7DBEjmY/v/0

I''ll try it and report here.

Sorry, no idea what this means. How can I check / test ?  I didn''t
configure anything relative to "shadow mode" at least.

It''s a bad locking interaction between shadow and PoD, introduced in
4.2. The one-line fix is to turn on locking p2m for shadow, as well. But we need
to make sure that doing that doesn''t introduce other regressions in
shadow.

Re: Xen BUG at mm-locks.h:118 in 4.2.1 - mm locking order violation - Dom0 reboot

The patch seems to have fixed this issue.

I did however encounter a :

(XEN) p2m_pod_demand_populate: Dom1 out of PoD memory! (tot=392185
ents=131072 dom0)
(XEN) domain_crash called from p2m-pod.c:1077
(XEN) Domain 1 reported crashed by domain 0 on cpu#1:

The domU then rebooted and it doesn''t seem to happen again, but since
it''s related to PoD, it might be related to that same issue ...


Cheers,

This is the cause of your second "Dom1 out of PoD memory" bug.

If you aren''t running at least a balloon driver inside the guest then
this isn''t valid, since you have requested a different initial memory
allocation to what you are actually giving the guest and something needs
to bridge that gap. Initially this is PoD but eventually a balloon
driver must come along, PoD is not intended for use other than during
boot until a balloon driver can be started.

Indeed this fixed it.

Interestingly, it seems to avoid the first issue as well ... I guess
this is why nobody hit that before. Although hard rebooting the dom0
might be a severe punishement for a config mistake :p

Cheers & thanks to all.

Good.

If memory == maxmem then PoD (the crashing subsystem) is never activated
so that is to be expected.

Excellent, thanks.  I''ve just applied it to xen-unstable.
