Resending this in a more threaded format.
Hello,
I am sending out a v3 version of series of patches that implements guest
PM hibernation.
These guests are running on xen hypervisor. The patches had been tested
against mainstream kernel. EC2 instance hibernation feature is provided
to the AWS EC2 customers. PM hibernation uses swap space carved out within
the guest[or can be a separate partition], where hibernation image is
stored and restored from.
Doing guest hibernation does not involve any support from hypervisor and
this way guest has complete control over its state. Infrastructure
restrictions for saving up guest state can be overcome by guest initiated
hibernation.
This series includes some improvements over RFC series sent last year:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-06/msg00823.html
Changelog v3:
1. Feedback from V2
2. Introduced 2 new patches for xen sched clock offset fix
3. Fixed pirq shutdown/restore in generic irq subsystem
4. Split save/restore steal clock patches into 2 for better readability
Changelog v2:
1. Removed timeout/request present on the ring in xen-blkfront during blkfront freeze
2. Fixed restoring of PIRQs which was apparently working for 4.9 kernels but not for
newer kernel. [Legacy irqs were no longer restored after hibernation introduced with
this commit "020db9d3c1dc0"]
3. Merged couple of related patches to make the code more coherent and readable
4. Code refactoring
5. Sched clock fix when hibernating guest is under heavy CPU load
Note: Under very rare circumstances we see resume failures with KASLR enabled only
on xen instances. We are roughly seeing 3% failures [>1000 runs] when testing with
various instance sizes and some workload running on each instance. I am currently
investigating the issue as to confirm if its a xen issue or kernel issue.
However, it should not hold back anyone from reviewing/accepting these patches.
Testing done:
All testing is done for multiple hibernation cycle for 5.4 kernel on EC2.
Testing How to:
---------------
Example:
Set up a file-backed swap space. Swap file size>=Total memory on the system
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=$(( 1024 * 1024 )) count=4096 # 4096MiB
sudo chmod 600 /swap
sudo mkswap /swap
sudo swapon /swap
Update resume device/resume offset in grub if using swap file:
resume=/dev/xvda1 resume_offset=200704
Execute:
--------
sudo pm-hibernate
OR
echo disk > /sys/power/state && echo reboot > /sys/power/disk
Compute resume offset code:
"
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import array
import fcntl
#swap file
f = open(sys.argv[1], 'r')
buf = array.array('L', [0])
#FIBMAP
ret = fcntl.ioctl(f.fileno(), 0x01, buf)
print buf[0]

2.24.1.AMZN
From: Munehisa Kamata <[email protected]>
Guest hibernation is different from xen suspend/resume/live migration.
Xen save/restore does not use pm_ops as is needed by guest hibernation.
Hibernation in guest follows ACPI path and is guest inititated , the
hibernation image is saved within guest as compared to later modes
which are xen toolstack assisted and image creation/storage is in
control of hypervisor/host machine.
To differentiate between Xen suspend and PM hibernation, keep track
of the on-going suspend mode by mainly using a new PM notifier.
Introduce simple functions which help to know the on-going suspend mode
so that other Xen-related code can behave differently according to the
current suspend mode.
Since Xen suspend doesn't have corresponding PM event, its main logic
is modfied to acquire pm_mutex and set the current mode.
Though, acquirng pm_mutex is still right thing to do, we may
see deadlock if PM hibernation is interrupted by Xen suspend.
PM hibernation depends on xenwatch thread to process xenbus state
transactions, but the thread will sleep to wait pm_mutex which is
already held by PM hibernation context in the scenario. Xen shutdown
code may need some changes to avoid the issue.

to know the on-going suspend mode into this one for better readability]

2.24.1.AMZN
From: Munehisa Kamata <[email protected]>
Since commit b3e96c0c7562 ("xen: use freeze/restore/thaw PM events for
suspend/resume/chkpt"), xenbus uses PMSG_FREEZE, PMSG_THAW and
PMSG_RESTORE events for Xen suspend. However, they're actually assigned
to xenbus_dev_suspend(), xenbus_dev_cancel() and xenbus_dev_resume()
respectively, and only suspend and resume callbacks are supported at
driver level. To support PM suspend and PM hibernation, modify the bus
level PM callbacks to invoke not only device driver's suspend/resume but
also freeze/thaw/restore.
Note that we'll use freeze/restore callbacks even for PM suspend whereas
suspend/resume callbacks are normally used in the case, becausae the
existing xenbus device drivers already have suspend/resume callbacks
specifically designed for Xen suspend. So we can allow the device
drivers to keep the existing callbacks wihtout modification.

From: Munehisa Kamata <[email protected]>
Add Xen PVHVM specific system core callbacks for PM suspend and
hibernation support. The callbacks suspend and resume Xen
primitives,like shared_info, pvclock and grant table. Note that
Xen suspend can handle them in a different manner, but system
core callbacks are called from the context. So if the callbacks
are called from Xen suspend context, return immediately.

From: Munehisa Kamata <[email protected]>
Add freeze, thaw and restore callbacks for PM suspend and hibernation
support. The freeze handler simply disconnects the frotnend from the
backend and frees resources associated with queues after disabling the
net_device from the system. The restore handler just changes the
frontend state and let the xenbus handler to re-allocate the resources
and re-connect to the backend. This can be performed transparently to
the rest of the system. The handlers are used for both PM suspend and
hibernation so that we can keep the existing suspend/resume callbacks
for Xen suspend without modification. Freezing netfront devices is
normally expected to finish within a few hundred milliseconds, but it
can rarely take more than 5 seconds and hit the hard coded timeout,
it would depend on backend state which may be congested and/or have
complex configuration. While it's rare case, longer default timeout
seems a bit more reasonable here to avoid hitting the timeout.
Also, make it configurable via module parameter so that we can cover
broader setups than what we know currently.

2.24.1.AMZN
From: Munehisa Kamata <[email protected]
Add freeze, thaw and restore callbacks for PM suspend and hibernation
support. All frontend drivers that needs to use PM_HIBERNATION/PM_SUSPEND
events, need to implement these xenbus_driver callbacks.
The freeze handler stops a block-layer queue and disconnect the
frontend from the backend while freeing ring_info and associated resources.
The restore handler re-allocates ring_info and re-connect to the
backend, so the rest of the kernel can continue to use the block device
transparently. Also, the handlers are used for both PM suspend and
hibernation so that we can keep the existing suspend/resume callbacks for
Xen suspend without modification. Before disconnecting from backend,
we need to prevent any new IO from being queued and wait for existing
IO to complete. Freeze/unfreeze of the queues will guarantee that there
are no requests in use on the shared ring.
Note:For older backends,if a backend doesn't have commit'12ea729645ace'
xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected,
the frontend may see massive amount of grant table warning when freeing
resources.
[ 36.852659] deferring g.e. 0xf9 (pfn 0xffffffffffffffff)
[ 36.855089] xen:grant_table: WARNING:e.g. 0x112 still in use!
In this case, persistent grants would need to be disabled.
[Anchal Changelog: Removed timeout/request during blkfront freeze.
Fixed major part of the code to work with blk-mq]

2.24.1.AMZN
There are no pm handlers for the legacy devices, so during tear down
stale event channel <> IRQ mapping may still remain in the image and
resume may fail. To avoid adding much code by implementing handlers for
legacy devices, add a new irq_chip flag IRQCHIP_SHUTDOWN_ON_SUSPEND which
when enabled on an irq-chip e.g xen-pirq, it will let core suspend/resume
irq code to shutdown and restart the active irqs. PM suspend/hibernation
code will rely on this.
Without this, in PM hibernation, information about the event channel
remains in hibernation image, but there is no guarantee that the same
event channel numbers are assigned to the devices when restoring the
system. This may cause conflict like the following and prevent some
devices from being restored correctly.

From: Munehisa Kamata <[email protected]>
Currently, steal time accounting code in scheduler expects steal clock
callback to provide monotonically increasing value. If the accounting
code receives a smaller value than previous one, it uses a negative
value to calculate steal time and results in incorrectly updated idle
and steal time accounting. This breaks userspace tools which read
/proc/stat.

This can actually happen when a Xen PVHVM guest gets restored from
hibernation, because such a restored guest is just a fresh domain from
Xen perspective and the time information in runstate info starts over
from scratch.
This patch introduces xen_save_steal_clock() which saves current values
in runstate info into per-cpu variables. Its couterpart,
xen_restore_steal_clock(), sets offset if it found the current values in
runstate info are smaller than previous ones. xen_steal_clock() is also
modified to use the offset to ensure that scheduler only sees
monotonically increasing number.

Save/restore xen_sched_clock_offset in syscore suspend/resume during PM
hibernation. Commit '867cefb4cb1012: ("xen: Fix x86 sched_clock() interface
for xen")' fixes xen guest time handling during migration. A similar issue
is seen during PM hibernation when system runs CPU intensive workload.
Post resume pvclock resets the value to 0 however, xen sched_clock_offset
is never updated. System instability is seen during resume from hibernation
when system is under heavy CPU load. Since xen_sched_clock_offset is not
updated, system does not see the monotonic clock value and the scheduler
would then think that heavy CPU hog tasks need more time in CPU, causing
the system to freeze

The SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA is supposed to be used to set the hibernation
offset on a running kernel to enable hibernating to a swap file.
However, it doesn't actually update the swsusp_resume_block variable. As
a result, the hibernation fails at the last step (after all the data is
written out) in the validation of the swap signature in
mark_swapfiles().
Before this patch, the command line processing was the only place where
swsusp_resume_block was set.

Save steal clock values of all present CPUs in the system core ops
suspend callbacks. Also, restore a boot CPU's steal clock in the system
core resume callback. For non-boot CPUs, restore after they're brought
up, because runstate info for non-boot CPUs are not active until then.

This is different from Xen (xenstore) initiated suspension, as in that
case Linux doesn't flush the rings or disconnects from the backend.
This is done so that in case suspensions fails the recovery doesn't
need to reconnect the PV devices, and in order to speed up suspension
time (ie: waiting for all queues to be flushed can take time as Linux
supports multiqueue, multipage rings and indirect descriptors), and
the backend could be contended if there's a lot of IO pressure from
guests.
Linux already keeps a shadow of the ring contents, so in-flight
requests can be re-issued after the frontend has reconnected during
resume.

Are you sure this is safe?
I don't think you wait for all requests pending on the ring to be
finished by the backend, and hence you might loose requests as the
ones on the ring would not be re-issued by blkfront_restore AFAICT.
Thanks, Roger.

In my testing running multiple fio jobs, other test scenarios running
a memory loader works fine. I did not came across a scenario that would
have failed resume due to blkfront issues unless you can sugest some?

AFAIU, blk_mq_freeze_queue/blk_mq_quiesce_queue should take care of no used
request on the shared ring. Also, we I want to pause the queue and flush all
the pending requests in the shared ring before disconnecting from backend.
Quiescing the queue seemed a better option here as we want to make sure ongoing
requests dispatches are totally drained.
I should accept that some of these notion is borrowed from how nvme freeze/unfreeze
is done although its not apple to apple comparison.
Do you have any particular scenario in mind which may cause resume to fail?

No, in Xen initiated suspension backend doesn't take care of flushing
the rings, the frontend has a shadow copy of the ring contents and it
re-issues the requests on resume.

AFAICT you don't wait for the in-flight requests to be finished, and
just rely on blkback to finish processing those. I'm not sure all
blkback implementations out there can guarantee that.
The approach used by Xen initiated suspension is to re-issue the
in-flight requests when resuming. I have to admit I don't think this
is the best approach, but I would like to keep both the Xen and the PM
initiated suspension using the same logic, and hence I would request
that you try to re-use the existing resume logic (blkfront_resume).

Oh, so blk_mq_freeze_queue does wait for in-flight requests to be
finished. I guess it's fine then.

That's fine, but I would still like to requests that you use the same
logic (as much as possible) for both the Xen and the PM initiated
suspension.
So you either apply this freeze/unfreeze to the Xen suspension (and
drop the re-issuing of requests on resume) or adapt the same approach
as the Xen initiated suspension. Keeping two completely different
approaches to suspension / resume on blkfront is not suitable long
term.
Thanks, Roger.

Yes, I meant suspension in general where both xenstore and backend knows
system is going under suspension and not flushing of rings. That happens
in frontend when backend indicates that state is closing and so on.

I agree with you on overhaul of xen suspend/resume wrt blkfront is a good
idea however, IMO that is a work for future and this patch series should

backend has no idea the guest is going to be suspended. Backend code
is completely agnostic to suspension/resume.

It's not so much that I think an overhaul of suspend/resume in
blkfront is needed, it's just that I don't want to have two completely
different suspend/resume paths inside blkfront.
So from my PoV I think the right solution is to either use the same
code (as much as possible) as it's currently used by Xen initiated
suspend/resume, or to also switch Xen initiated suspension to use the
newly introduced code.
Having two different approaches to suspend/resume in the same driver
is a recipe for disaster IMO: it adds complexity by forcing developers
to take into account two different suspend/resume approaches when
there's no need for it.

I disagree. S3 or S4 suspend/resume (or perhaps we should call them power state transitions to avoid confusion) are quite different from Xen suspend/resume.
Power state transitions ought to be, and indeed are, visible to the software running inside the guest. Applications, as well as drivers, can receive notification and take whatever action they deem appropriate.
Xen suspend/resume OTOH is used when a guest is migrated and the code should go to all lengths possible to make any software running inside the guest (other than Xen specific enlightened code, such as PV drivers) completely unaware that anything has actually happened.
So, whilst it may be possible to use common routines to, for example, re-establish PV frontend/backend communication, PV frontend code should be acutely aware of the circumstances they are operating in. I can cite example code in the Windows PV driver, which have supported guest S3/S4 power state transitions since day 1.

So from what you say above PM state transitions are notified to all
drivers, and Xen suspend/resume is only notified to PV drivers, and
here we are speaking about blkfront which is a PV driver, and should
get notified in both cases. So I'm unsure why the same (or at least
very similar) approach can't be used in both cases.
The suspend/resume approach proposed by this patch is completely
different than the one used by a xenbus initiated suspend/resume, and
I don't see a technical reason that warrants this difference.
I'm not saying that the approach used here is wrong, it's just that I
don't see the point in having two different ways to do suspend/resume
in the same driver, unless there's a technical reason for it, which I
don't think has been provided.
I would be fine with switching xenbus initiated suspend/resume to also
use the approach proposed here: freeze the queues and drain the shared
rings before suspending.

Hm, please bear with me, as I'm not sure I fully understand. Why isn't
the current suspend/resume logic suitable for PM transitions?
As said above, I'm happy to switch xenbus initiated suspend/resume to
use the logic in this patch, but unless there's a technical reason for
it I don't see why blkfront should have two completely different
approaches to suspend/resume depending on whether it's a PM or a
xenbus state change.

Within an individual PV driver it may well be ok to use common mechanisms for connecting to the backend but issues will arise if any subsequent action is visible to the guest. E.g. a network frontend needs to issue gratuitous ARPs without anything else in the network stack (or monitoring the network stack) knowing that it has happened.

The technical justification is that the driver needs to know what kind of suspend or resume it is doing, so that it doesn't do the wrong thing. There may also be differences in the state of the system e.g. in Windows, at least some of the resume-from-xen-suspend code runs with interrupts disabled (which is necessary to make sure enough state is restored before things become visible to other kernel code).

I think abstracting away at the xenbus level to some degree is probably feasible, but some sort of flag should be passed to the individual drivers so they know what circumstances they are operating under.

I don’t know the details for Linux but it may well be to do with assumptions made about the system e.g. the ability to block waiting for something to happen on another CPU (which may have already been quiesced in a PM context).

Hopefully what I said above illustrates why it may not be 100% common.

Yes, that's fine. I don't expect it to be 100% common (as I guess
that the hooks will have different prototypes), but I expect
that routines can be shared, and that the approach taken can be the
same.
For example one necessary difference will be that xenbus initiated
suspend won't close the PV connection, in case suspension fails. On PM
suspend you seem to always close the connection beforehand, so you
will always have to re-negotiate on resume even if suspension failed.
What I'm mostly worried about is the different approach to ring
draining. Ie: either xenbus is changed to freeze the queues and drain
the shared rings, or PM uses the already existing logic of not
flushing the rings an re-issuing in-flight requests on resume.

Yes, that's needs consideration. I don’t think the same semantic can be suitable for both. E.g. in a xen-suspend we need to freeze with as little processing as possible to avoid dirtying RAM late in the migration cycle, and we know that in-flight data can wait. But in a transition to S4 we need to make sure that at least all the in-flight blkif requests get completed, since they probably contain bits of the guest's memory image and that's not going to get saved any other way.

I don't get what you mean, 'suspension failure' during disconnecting frontend from
backend? [as in this case we mark frontend closed and then wait for completion]
Or do you mean suspension fail in general post bkacend is disconnected from
frontend for blkfront?
In case of later, if anything fails after the dpm_suspend(),
things need to be thawed or set back up so it should ok to always
re-negotitate just to avoid errors.

I agree with Paul here. Just so as you know, I did try a hacky way in the past
to re-queue requests in the past and failed miserably.
I doubt[just from my experimentation]re-queuing the requests will work for PM
Hibernation for the same reason Paul mentioned above unless you give me pressing
reason why it should work.
Also, won't it effect the migration time if we start waiting for all the
inflight requests to complete[last min page faults] ?
Thanks,

Thanks, that makes sense and something along this lines should be
added to the commit message IMO.
Wondering about S4, shouldn't we expect the queues to already be
empty? As any subsystem that wanted to store something to disk should
make sure requests have been successfully completed before
suspending.
Thanks, Roger.

I don't think you strictly need to disconnect from the backend when
suspending. Just waiting for all requests to finish should be enough.
This has the benefit of not having to renegotiate if the suspension
fails, and thus you can recover from suspension faster in case of
failure. Since you haven't closed the connection with the backend just
unfreezing the queues should get you working again, and avoids all the
renegotiation.

Well, it works AFAIK for xenbus initiated suspension, so I would be
interested to know why it doesn't work with PM suspension.

My main reason is that I don't want to maintain two different
approaches to suspend/resume without a technical argument for it. I'm
not happy to take a bunch of new code just because the current one
doesn't seem to work in your use-case.
That being said, if there's a justification for doing it differently
it needs to be stated clearly in the commit. From the current commit
message I didn't gasp that there was a reason for not using the
current xenbus suspend/resume logic.

Well, it's going to dirty pages that would have to be re-send to the
destination side.

What about writing the suspend image itself? Normal filesystem I/O will have been flushed of course, but whatever vestigial kernel actually writes out the hibernation file may well expect a final D0->D3 on the storage device to cause a flush. Again, I don't know the specifics for Linux (and Windows actually uses an incarnation of the crash kernel to do the job, which brings with it a whole other set of complexity as far as PV drivers go).

Hm, I have no idea really. I think whatever writes to the disk before
suspend should actually make sure requests have completed, but what
you suggest might also be a possibility.
Can you figure out whether there are requests on the ring or in the
queue before suspending?

That seems extremely complex, I'm sure there's a reason for it :).

Well there's clearly pending stuff in the ring if rsp_prod != req_prod :-) As for internal queues, I don't know how blkfront manages that (or whether it has any pending work queue at all).

Right, I assume there's no document that states what's the expected
state for queues &c when switching PM states, so we have to assume
that there might be in-flight requests on the ring and in the driver
queues.
> As for internal queues, I don't know how blkfront manages that (or whether it has any pending work queue at all).
There are no internal queues, just the generic ones from blk_mq which
every block device has IIRC.

I'm not particularly found of adding underscore prefixes to functions,
I would rather use a more descriptive name if possible.

Do you really need this check here?
The queue will be frozen and quiesced in blkfront_freeze when the state
is set to BLKIF_STATE_FREEZING, and then the call to
blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues is just a noop as long as the queue is
quiesced (see blk_mq_run_hw_queue).

I have to admit my memory is fuzzy here, but don't you need to
re-queue requests in case the backend has different limits of indirect
descriptors per request for example?
Or do we expect that the frontend is always going to be resumed on the
same backend, and thus features won't change?

I'm not sure you need the extra dev->state == XenbusStateInitialised.
If the frotnend is in state BLKIF_STATE_FROZEN you can likely ignore
the notification of the backend switched to closed state, regardless

Don't you need to also drain the queue and make sure it's empty?

There's no need for an out label here, just return err, or even
simpler:
if (!err)
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(&info->tag_set, info->nr_rings);
return err;

So to understand your question better here, AFAIU the maximum number of indirect
grefs is fixed by the backend, but the frontend can issue requests with any
number of indirect segments as long as it's less than the number provided by
the backend. So by your question you mean this max number of MAX_INDIRECT_SEGMENTS
256 on backend can change ?

blk_mq_freeze_queue and blk_mq_quiesce_queue should take care of running HW queues synchronously
and making sure all the ongoing dispatches have finished. Did I understand your question right?

The above is just an agglomeration of words and acronyms and some of
these sentences do not even make sense. Anyone who is not aware of event
channels and whatever XENisms you talk about will be entirely
confused. Changelogs really need to be understandable for mere mortals
and there is no space restriction so acronyms can be written out.
Something like this:
Many legacy device drivers do not implement power management (PM)
functions which means that interrupts requested by these drivers stay
in active state when the kernel is hibernated.
This does not matter on bare metal and on most hypervisors because the
interrupt is restored on resume without any noticable side effects as
it stays connected to the same physical or virtual interrupt line.
The XEN interrupt mechanism is different as it maintains a mapping
between the Linux interrupt number and a XEN event channel. If the
interrupt stays active on hibernation this mapping is preserved but
there is unfortunately no guarantee that on resume the same event
channels are reassigned to these devices. This can result in event
channel conflicts which prevent the affected devices from being
restored correctly.
One way to solve this would be to add the necessary power management
functions to all affected legacy device drivers, but that's a
questionable effort which does not provide any benefits on non-XEN
environments.
The least intrusive and most efficient solution is to provide a
mechanism which allows the core interrupt code to tear down these
interrupts on hibernation and bring them back up again on resume. This
allows the XEN event channel mechanism to assign an arbitrary event
channel on resume without affecting the functionality of these
devices.
Fortunately all these device interrupts are handled by a dedicated XEN
interrupt chip so the chip can be marked that all interrupts connected
to it are handled this way. This is pretty much in line with the other
interrupt chip specific quirks, e.g. IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND.
Add a new quirk flag IRQCHIP_SHUTDOWN_ON_SUSPEND and add support for
it the core interrupt suspend/resume paths.
Hmm?

Not that I care much, but now that I've written both the patch and the

Yes, number of indirect descriptors supported by the backend can
change, because you moved to a different backend, or because the
maximum supported by the backend has changed. It's also possible to
resume on a backend that has no indirect descriptors support at all.

Can you please add some check to that end? (ie: that there are no
pending requests on any queue?)
Thanks, Roger.

I don't understand what does not makes sense here. Of course the one you
described is more elaborate and explanatory and I agree I just wrote a short
one from perspective of PM hibernation related to Xen domU.
All I explained was why teardown is needed, what is the solution and
what will happen if we do not clear those mappings.
