[LTP] [RFC] [PATCH] netns: Fix race in virtual interface bringup

[Dan Rue]

Symptoms (+ command, error):
    netns_comm_ip_ipv6_ioctl:
        + ip netns exec tst_net_ns1 ping6 -q -c2 -I veth1 fd00::2
        connect: Cannot assign requested address

    netns_comm_ip_ipv6_netlink:
        + ip netns exec tst_net_ns0 ping6 -q -c2 -I veth0 fd00::3
        connect: Cannot assign requested address

    netns_comm_ns_exec_ipv6_ioctl:
        + ns_exec 6689 net ping6 -q -c2 -I veth0 fd00::3
        connect: Cannot assign requested address

    netns_comm_ns_exec_ipv6_netlin:
        + ns_exec 6891 net ping6 -q -c2 -I veth0 fd00::3
        connect: Cannot assign requested address

The error is coming from ping6, which is trying to get an IP address for
veth0 (due to -I veth0), but cannot. Waiting for two seconds fixes the
test in my testcases. 1 second is not long enough.

dmesg shows the following during the test:

    [Nov 7 15:39] LTP: starting netns_comm_ip_ipv6_ioctl (netns_comm.sh ip ipv6 ioctl)
    [  +0.302401] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): veth0: link is not ready
    [  +0.048059] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): veth0: link becomes ready

We've periodically hit this problem across many arm64 kernels and boards, and
it seems to be caused by "ping6" running before the virtual interface is
actually ready. "sleep 2" works around the issue and proves that it is a race
condition, but I would prefer something faster and deterministic. Please
suggest a better implementation.

Also, is it correct that "ifconfig veth0 up" returns before the interface is
actually ready?

Adding CC netdev

Can someone comment on the expected behavior of this test case?

Here's the isolated test:

    ip netns del tst_net_ns0
    ip netns del tst_net_ns1
    ip netns add tst_net_ns0
    ip netns add tst_net_ns1
    ip netns exec tst_net_ns0 ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    ip netns exec tst_net_ns0 ip link set veth1 netns tst_net_ns1

    ip netns exec tst_net_ns0 ifconfig veth0 inet6 add fd00::2/64
    ip netns exec tst_net_ns1 ifconfig veth1 inet6 add fd00::3/64
    ip netns exec tst_net_ns0 ifconfig veth0 up
    ip netns exec tst_net_ns1 ifconfig veth1 up

    #sleep 2

    ip netns exec tst_net_ns0 ping6 -q -c2 -I veth0 fd00::3

This is essentially what LTP is running. Sometimes, on some systems,
ping6 fails with "connect: Cannot assign requested address". Adding a
"sleep 2" always fixes it (but we'd obviously like to avoid a hard coded
sleep in the test).

Questions:
1) Is the behavior of "ifconfig up" intentionally asynchronous (I
believe so, based on dmesg)? If so, what is the correct way to find out
when the interface is available?

Thank you!
Dan

Probably due to DAD. By disabling DAD, you should be able to use immediately the
ipv6 addrs.

Oh, that does work! I was trying to disable dad using
'echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/veth0/accept_dad' and I guess it was
not sufficient.
Using your example, it did work.

Thanks! I will submit this patch.

Just FYI:

I'm not good at network things, but one method I copied from ltp/numa
test is to split the '2s' into many smaller pieces of time.

It's quite strange that veth interface needs 2 seconds to become
operational and it is up in less than 0.3s according to dmesg, but
you said that it's not enough even 1 sec... Are you sure that IPv6
address not in tentative state and dad process actually disabled?
I'm asking because you don't have it disabled in the script:

What about "grep -q up /sys/class/net/$dev/operstate && break"?

Investigating further, the dmesg output is reporting on the status of
the link between veth0 and veth1, not the veth0 interface itself. That
is, the first dmesg message comes from "ip netns exec tst_net_ns0
ifconfig veth0 up" and the second comes from "ip netns exec tst_net_ns1
ifconfig veth1 up". This explains why we see .3s in dmesg but a 2 second
sleep being required. There is not actually anything in dmesg that is
helpful here.

Regarding dad (duplicate address detection), we have seen similar issues
on low power ARM64 boards and IPv4. Anyway, I tried disabling dad on the
interface and it did not make a difference.

Since dmesg will not help, I explored /sys as proposed.

operstate shows "up", and ping6 still fails.
carrier shows "1" (up), and ping6 still fails.
dormant shows "0" (interface is not dormant), and ping6 still fails.
flags shows "0x1003" before and after a 2s sleep (they don't change)

So it seems there is nothing in dmesg, or /sys that can help here.
