Test report for Xen-3.3.0-rc4 (#18314)

Test report for Xen-3.3.0-rc4 (#18314)

[Li, Haicheng]

All,

We've finished a round of nightly testing and bug verification on RC4 (#18314). There are still 5 P1 open bugs. Bug #1322 and bug #1323 were found by extended testing with Solaris HVM guest.

New P1 bugs:
==============================================
1. Xen HV crashes while booting up Indiana HVM guest
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1322

2. Booting Nevada 81 PAE HVM may cause Xen crash.
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1323

Old P1 bugs:
==============================================
1. One 32e, hotplug attaching VT-d NIC to guest failed.
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1316.

2. On PAE, failed to hotplug attach USB EHCI device to linux guest.
http://bugzilla.xensource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1318

3. UHCI hotplug can not work on Montevina platform.

Do the new P1s still occur if you change SHADOW_OPTIMIZATIONS in
arch/x86/mm/shadow/private.h to 0xff? (i.e., disable out-of-sync
optimisation).

It goes without saying of course that these new P1s are unfortunately rather
likely to delay 3.3.0, unless we choose to disable optimisations causing
these crashes. Still, we are in deep freeze mode and I won't be taking any
patches that aren't obvious fixes for very serious issues and regressions.

After change SHADOW_OPTIMIZATIONS to 0xff, the two issues disappear.

But we found two phenomena:
1. Indiana HVM may reboot when loading grub, serial grub shows:

At least it's not a hv crash. At this late stage I could perhaps live with
this.

Both backtraces are from 3.3.0-rc1. You modified and tested the wrong tree.
:-) This second backtrace can no longer happen.

We're going to dig into the OOS bug a bit and decide what to do...

Oh, Sorry, I made a mistake. Thanks for your pointing out.
I will try rc4 to see if any issue still exists after this modification
and send you the update.

As of c/s 18326 I've not been able to reproduce the hypervisor crash in
around 40 attempts. Could you give that a go (don't remove OOS from
SHADOW_OPTIMIZATIONS -- just test the tree as it is)?

 Thanks,
 Keir

If this works okay for you then I'll make a fifth release candidate
tomorrow, and plan to release early next week.

We tried c/s 18326, the two issues still exist. We found it is more easy
to reproduce these issues on 32pae host than on 32e host. See following
log:
If remove OOS, the two issues will disapear and no other error found.

Thanks Jiajun,

That's disappointing. :-( I think the second of your crashes is the one that
I've been able to reproduce (but infrequently -- maybe one time in 100). The
symptoms are a bit different for me since I run a debug build and crash
earlier, well before domain destruction.

There's a chance that Gianluca's new patch will fix your first host crash
(although the domain crash would probably still remain).

We still need to decide whether to fix the second issue or disable OOS.
We're not decided on that just yet. If it reproed more reliably for us then
I'd be more optimistic about fixing it. Perhaps I will switch to 32pae as so
far I've been running 32e host.

Yes. We tried the patch, still got xen crash.

This could be a variant of the second crash (screwed reference counts)
though. I'll take Gianluca's patch since it probably does make things
better, but clearly we still have a nasty refcounting bug, probably in the
OOS code.

It's believed fixed by changeset 18331. Please can you test this?

If it works okay for you then we'll make a new release candidate tomorrow
and plan to release early next week.

Yes. Both Indiana and Nevada can boot well on c/s 18331. 
We didn't meet crash or any error massage on the c/s.

[PATCH] Fix OOS typecounting [was: Test report for Xen-3.3.0-rc4 (#18314)]

The attached patch should fix this issue. It was an all-my-fault 
breakage of set_l1e atomicity.

A very easy way to reproduce this bug is to set SHADOW_OOS_FIXUPS to 1 
in xen/include/asm-x86/mm.h. This will reproduce very quickly the 
typecount corruption.

So, without OOS you didn't see any issues (not even domain crash)? That's
promising.

With OOS, how easily do you reproduce the host crash? It takes me 50-100
guest boots to cause a crash right now. Presumably you can repro more
quickly than that?

No. I didn't see any issues without OOS.

It is very easy to reproduce the crash on our machine. About 2~3 times
trying will meet a crash.
I attach my config file, maybe there is some difference between our
environments.

And the two issues mostly happen after guest loading kernel and begin to
start system services.
We didn't meet crash at the beginning of creating guest.
