Bug Description

[Impact]
Impacts any user of multipath, regardless of release. Users who do not currently see issues may see them on upgrade to a newer version of systemd/udev.

[Test case]
See below. Test case can be summarized as "boot on a multipath system".

[Regression potential]
This changes the behavior on locking devices for multipath, to avoid a deadlock with udev. Since this changes the locking behavior of multipath this may also affect other scripts or applications depending on multipath doing an exclusive lock, so scripts or applications could fail because they acquired a lock on the devices prematurely, before multipath was finished. In most cases this shouldn't happen, as it should be limited to an isolated multipath step in the boot process (in initramfs).

Problem: during initramfs, multipath devices takes long to initialize (~30 seconds?)

Reason:
 When udev starts to handle the block device, it acquires a lock on it, then processes the rules.
 Therefore, by the time 'multipath' runs (called in udev rules), the block device is already locked.

 For 'multipath' to finish, it must acquire a *exclusive* lock on the block device.
 Thus it fails (exclusive mode doesn't succeed with another lock in place).

 So it loops, trying again until the lock is acquired.
 (messages: "failed to create map (in use)" / "restart multipath configuration process").

 Sure enough, it will keep looping.. until killed by time-out (message: "timeout '/sbin/multipath -v0 /dev/sda'").

 Only then (after rule-processing) udev releases the lock.

 The next call to the 'multipath' command succeeds (out of udev rules, in /scripts/local-top/multipath).
 This happens because, by that time, udev has finished handling all devices (i.e., 'udev settle' in /scripts/init-bottom/udev, which is run earlier),
 so there's no more the udev worker lock to the underlying block device(s).

Steps to reproduce:
 Do a multipath install (disk-detect/multipath/enable=true), and boot.

Solution:

 left as an exercise for the reader :)

 I guess the udev 95-multipath.rules shouldn't be in the initramfs.
 (i.e., add_udev_rules() in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks from
  multipath-tools-boot)

 Booting on multipath devices would still be possible because there's
 another call to 'multipath' on initramfs/scripts/local-top/multipath,
 before mounting root.

 Not sure about the behavior during system operation; e.g., hotplug
 a new disk.. the multipath command would be called from the udev rule
 in the root filesystem now (i.e., /lib/udev/rules.d/ from rootfs, not
 initramfs). I'm now sure of how multipathd is related to that now.

Analysis:

 Checking out why '/sbin/multipath -v0 /dev/sda' is timing out.

 Boot with:
  break=top,pre-multipath,post-multipath

  <...>
  Spawning shell within the initramfs
  <...>
  (initramfs)

 Increase verbosity on multipath and udevd, and show udevd
 And, to save time/output, reduce the udev timeout, and restrict that command
 to only a single disk (e.g., sda).

  udevd:

  (initramfs) grep udevd /scripts/init-top/udev
  /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --daemon --resolve-names=never

  (initramfs) sed '/systemd-udevd/ { s:--daemon:--debug --event-timeout=5: ; s:$: 2>\&1 \&: }' -i /scripts/init-top/udev

  (initramfs) grep udevd /scripts/init-top/udev
  /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --debug --event-timeout=5 --resolve-names=never 2>&1 &

  multipath:

  (initramfs) grep -F 'multipath -v' /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules
  ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/sbin/multipath -v0 /dev/$name"

  (initramfs) sed '/multipath -v/ { s:-v0:-v3: ; s:^:KERNEL=="sda", : }' -i /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules

  (initramfs) grep -F 'multipath -v' /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules
  KERNEL=="sda", ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/sbin/multipath -v3 /dev/$name"

 Let initramfs continue:

  (initramfs) exit

 The udevd output rolls out.
 The output of the multipath command is looping. Looking closer, it's always
 restarting the multipath configuration process. At the end of each iteration
 (it's looping..), there is this block:

  '/sbin/multipath -v3 /dev/sda'(out) 'Mar 12 13:44:48 | mpath0: set ACT_CREATE (map does not exist)'
  '/sbin/multipath -v3 /dev/sda'(out) 'Mar 12 13:44:48 | mpath0: failed to create map (in use)'
  '/sbin/multipath -v3 /dev/sda'(out) 'Mar 12 13:44:48 | mpath0: domap (4294967295) failure for create/reload map'
  '/sbin/multipath -v3 /dev/sda'(out) 'Mar 12 13:44:48 | restart multipath configuration process'

 Searching multipath-tools source package for what causes that error message "failed to create map (in use)".

  # apt-get source multipath-tools
  # cd multipath-tools-*
  # grep -r 'failed to create map (in use)' .
  ./libmultipath/configure.c: condlog(3, "%s: failed to create map (in use)",

 And there it is, in domap() (also mentioned in the error):

  extern int
  domap (struct multipath * mpp)
  {
  ...
   case ACT_CREATE:
    if (lock_multipath(mpp, 1)) {
            condlog(3, "%s: failed to create map (in use)",
                    mpp->alias);
            return DOMAP_RETRY;
    }

 The error thus comes from lock_multipath(), in the same file:

  static int
  lock_multipath (struct multipath * mpp, int lock)
  {
  ...
            if (lock && flock(pp->fd, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB) &&
                errno == EWOULDBLOCK)
                    return 1;

 So, basically, it's trying to lock a file w/ exclusive access flock(fd, LOCK_EX).

 To check what file is that, on another system, which is booted already, let's use strace:

  # strace -f strace.multipath multipath -v0 /dev/sda
  <...>
  26362 open("/dev/sda", O_RDONLY) = 5
  <...>
  26362 flock(5, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = 0
  <...>

 OK; it tries to lock the same device that is passed as argument.

 In order to discover the owner of the lock in the initramfs... hm..
 there's no lsof or something.

 Let's use a script to check every process's open files
 (if a file is locked, it must be open; e.g., flock operates on an open file descriptor).

 Reboot to that point again, in the initramfs (i.e., break=..., sed ...; NOT exit).

  break=top,pre-multipath,post-multipath
  (initramfs) sed '/systemd-udevd/ { s:--daemon:--debug --event-timeout=5: ; s:$: 2>\&1 \&: }' -i /scripts/init-top/udev
  (initramfs) sed '/multipath -v/ { s:-v0:-v3: ; s:^:KERNEL=="sda", : }' -i /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules

 But now *REPLACE* the multipath command to a script which searches for an
 open fd for the device specified (expect sda, per the restriction inserted),
 and list some details of the owning process.

 note: we replace (not append) just to avoid the flock from multipath,
       for not to confuse us.

  (initramfs) sed 's:/sbin/multipath -v. /dev/:/find.sh :' -i /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules
  (initramfs) grep -F 'find.sh' /lib/udev/rules.d/95-multipath.rules
  KERNEL=="sda", ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/find.sh $name"

  (initramfs) cat <<EOF >/find.sh
  #!/bin/sh
  #set -x
  for dir in /proc/*
  do
      [ -d "\$dir/fd" ] || continue
      ls -l \$dir/fd | grep -q \$1 || continue

      echo "FD FOUND"
      echo "process: \$dir"
      ls -l \$dir/exe
      echo "cmdline: \$(cat \$dir/cmdline | tr '\0' ' ')"
      echo "file descriptors:"
      ls -l \$dir/fd
  done
  EOF

 OK; let's go for udev.

 (initramfs) exit

 Lots of udev output..
 Searching back for the scripts' output (find.sh).. Tip: use 'screen'.

 Got it.
 The lock is from udevd.
 See fd 6.

  <...>
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'FD FOUND'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'process: /proc/369'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 /proc/369/exe -> /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'cmdline: /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd --debug --event-timeout=5 --resolve-names=never '
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'file descriptors:'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lr-x------ 1 64 11 -> pipe:[8569]'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwx------ 1 64 10 -> socket:[8352]'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwx------ 1 64 9 -> anon_inode:[eventpoll]'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwx------ 1 64 8 -> socket:[8351]'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lr-x------ 1 64 7 -> pipe:[8568]'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lr-x------ 1 64 6 -> /dev/sda'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lr-x------ 1 64 5 -> anon_inode:inotify'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwx------ 1 64 4 -> anon_inode:[eventpoll]'

  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwx------ 1 64 2 -> /dev/console'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lrwx------ 1 64 1 -> /dev/console'
  '/find.sh sda'(out) 'lr-x------ 1 64 0 -> /dev/null'
  '/find.sh sda' [422] exit with return code 0

 And if you search backwards for that PID, it reaches the fork of a udev worker:

  seq 873 forked new worker [369]

 Looking at udevd code for a worker:

  # apt-get source systemd
  # cd systemd-*
  # grep -r worker .
    hmm.. udevd.c.. ah, "worker_new".. looking.

  static void worker_new(struct event *event) {
   <...>
    fd_lock = open(udev_device_get_devnode(d), O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC|O_NOFOLLOW|O_NONBLOCK);
    if (fd_lock >= 0 && flock(fd_lock, LOCK_SH|LOCK_NB) < 0) {
   <...>

           /* apply rules, create node, symlinks */
           udev_event_execute_rules(udev_event,
   <...>
           safe_close(fd_lock);
  }

 And there's a very meaningful comment above it:

                /*
                 * Take a shared lock on the device node; this establishes
                 * a concept of device "ownership" to serialize device
                 * access. External processes holding an exclusive lock will
                 * cause udev to skip the event handling; in the case udev
                 * acquired the lock, the external process can block until
                 * udev has finished its event handling.
                 */

 Specially:

  in the case udev
                 * acquired the lock, the external process can block until
                 * udev has finished its event handling.

 AH.
 So, that explains it all.

 See:
 1) udevd/worker acquires a lock of the block device (shared access),
 2) process the udev rules (e.g., 95-multipath.rules)
 3) *afterwards*, release the lock.

 So, the 'multipath' command that is run inside the udev rule
 that handles the add event of a block device (e.g., sda),
 will never finish (will keep looping until killed by timeout),
 because it requires an exclusive lock of that device..

 however, that device already has a lock in place (locked by
 udev worker before rule processing), which will only be
 released after the rule processing (after multipath ends.)

May you describe the issues you're seeing?
I guess I have hit more than a few so far.

Specifically, check bug 1429327 ('multipath' runs *before* all disks show up), and bug 1432062 (udev rules fail w/ disk-names w/ spaces when user_friendly_names isn't set).

I see delays in the devices being detected, which means after running through the initramfs scripts and other startup scripts, the installed system will come up using /dev/sdb1 (for example) rather than the equivalent device mapper device, and no swap.

If you can point me to the bug you filed that better matches this, I can fix it first before taking on the other reports.

It should allow multipath to be run in udev rules w/out timeout/killing (fixes this bug),
and thus restore the functioning of event-based multipath discovery
(which should fix bug 1429327, as the SCSI disks found after initramfs/local-top/multipath
should be found during the wait-for-root call in initramfs/local).

It just happens not to be upstream yet, and maybe not reviewed.
I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

Hi Mathieu,

I did some research for the commit mentioned in comment #10.

Its description clarifies (how/why) it solves this problem, and even others we would probably hit later (e.g., after booting, SCSI disks added/removed re-trigerring udev rules, and then involving multipathd).

It's been written by a multipath/enterprise hardware guy for the suse distros.
I see it in opensuse [1], with a patch named after 'sles12', which also names the branch in his github repo [2].

It looks good to go, combined with another fix applied to the initramfs script (the udev settle thing we talked about, but on a slightly different place). Patch attached.

With it applied, the udev timeout/killing disappears as expected, and with the earlier 'udevadm settle' call in place, so disappears the random dm ioctl() failures (race condition w/ multipath in udev rules):

    device-mapper: create ioctl on mpathX-partY failed: Device or resource busy
    create/reload failed on mpathX-partY

In summary, the attached patch restores event-based multipath discovery.. and we no longer need to remove the 95-multipath.rules from initramfs.

Just to clarify/respond to that (earlier than patch) comment with regards to the patch attached.

Given that the patch introduces only 2 changes, which are minimal/small (and one may sometimes be a nop), and is totally contained in multipath stuff, I think it'd be OK to get it in.
(Very respectfully,) it should not make multipath less functional than it is now. :) And can't break non-multipath stuff.

comment #8
> the installed system will come up using /dev/sdb1 (for example) rather than the equivalent device mapper device,

The patch should help* with that issue (described in bug 1429327 comment #10), because the multipath disks now may* show up before the wait-for-root call.. but a proper fix should probably follow the discussion in there. I'll try to get something addressing this too, according to Steve's suggestion.

> [...] and no swap.

This one should be fixed w/ 1430074.
The /etc/fstab file used to have the incorrect/p separator for the swap device too, so it wasn't found/timed out.

Well, not necessarily. The swap issue is the same as the rootfs one-- at some point multipath times out, and other init jobs would also timeout trying to bring up the swap (which can't be identified from the UUID) whereas the rootfs got brought up on a single path using the UUID.

The debdiff looks quite good; I'll add in the removal of scsi_wait_device which is just useless (that module no longer exists).

Ah, yes, you're right.

I was thinking with the assumption that the workaround/patch for the timeout was in place.
Indeed, if it's not in place, there'll be no swap nor anything multipath'ed at all.

In the particular case the workaround/patch is applied, what I've seen is a job waiting/timing out for the swap device (now) incorrectly specified in /etc/fstab.

Thanks for pointing that out.
