Hi Eliot,
Good to hear from you again. Sorry there was a delay before
we answered your bug report.
Hi Rohan and Jiajun,
I see what the bug is. Could one of you implement the bug fix
(see below)?
I was able to reproduce the bug by checkpointing java1 from the
test suite on dekaksi:
env CLASSPATH=./test ./bin/dmtcp_launch --checkpoint-open-files -i7 java
-Xmx5M java1
I then recursively copy ('scp -r') ckpt_java_* to CCIS Linux (since there
are some open files).
I then restart on CCIS Linux:
bin/dmtcp_restart ckpt_java_1d4a852a5f139a6-40000-54f8acae.dmtcp
[27628] mtcp_restart.c:1321 open_shared_file:
unable to create file
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-common/jre/lib/ext/pulse-java.jar: 2
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I then look at the checkpoint image:
gzip -dc ckpt_java1*.dmtcp | util/readdmtcp.sh tmp.dmtcp 2>&1 | grep -- '-s'
Sure enough, Java is opening files at /usr/lib/jvm/... as shared files.
We try to restore it re-create the shared image in mtcp/mtcp_restart.c
with the _same_ underlying file. But on the new host, the full pathname
of the underlying shared file has changed.
Presumably, Java creates the shared image so that the Java jvm can
share the memory mapped file among multiple running jvm's.
I assume that the solution is that if the underlying filename of a shared
memory image doesn't exist on the new target machine, then we should
simply open the file as shared, but with no underlying file,
using MAP_ANONYMOUS in mmap.
The necessary logic should be self-contained inside mtcp/mtcp_restart.c.
Jiajun or Rohan,
Could one of you implement this fix (and also add this new issue
to github)?
Thanks,
- Gene
