FreeBSD panics possibly caused by nfs clients
Good morning all, Per Rick Macklem's suggestion, I'm posting this query here in the hopes that other may have ideas. We did do some minimal testing with ufs around this problem back in August, but hadn't narrowed the issue down to hdf5 workloads yet, so testing was inconclusive. We'll do further testing on this to try to rule in or out zfs as a contributing factor. I'm happy to provide more technical details about this issue, but it is quite complex to explain and reproduce. Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: FreeBSD panics possibly caused by nfs clients
Hi all, Before the week was out, I wanted to provide an update on this issue. Last weekend, I installed two VMs with CURRENT (20240208-82bebc793658-268105) - one on zfs and one on ufs - and built a kernel with this config file: include GENERIC ident THAYER-FULLDEBUG makeoptions DEBUG=-g options KASAN options DDB options INVARIANT_SUPPORT options INVARIANTS options QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH options WITNESS options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN options KGSSAPI I'm also setting these in loader.conf: debug.witness.watch=1 debug.witness.kdb=1 kern.kstack_pages=8 These two VMs have been running non-stop with our hdf5 workload without a panic for 146 hours and 122 hours, respectively. This might be good news, but is well within the threshold we've seen in our testing over the past 6 months. Given that all the debug kernel options slow things down significantly, these could just be taking a long while to panic. I also have a another VM with our "standard" 14.0p5 kernel (GENERIC with KGSSAPI enabled) running on ufs to try to rule in or out zfs. This failed this morning, but not with a panic. In this case, nfs stopped responding. This is a failure mode we have seen in our testing, but is much rarer than a full panic. I intend to continue testing this to try to induce a panic, at which point I think we can rule out zfs as a potential cause. Just so it's documented, since I started experimenting with kernel debug options last week, I have so far induced panics with the following: - 13.2p9 kernel on hardware (only WITNESS enabled) - 14.0p4 kernel on VM (only KASAN enabled) - 13.2p9 kernel on hardware (all debug options above except KASAN) My plan right now is to continue running my two test VMs with CURRENT to see if it's just taking a long time to panic. Once I have finished my ufs testing on the third VM, I will build a GENERIC kernel for CURRENT (no debug options, only KGSSAPI) and test against that to see if the actual debug instrumentation is interfering with reproducing this issue. Please reach out if you have ideas or suggestions. I'll provide updates here when I have them. Thanks, Matt
Re: FreeBSD panics possibly caused by nfs clients
Hi all, I induced a panic on my CURRENT (20240215-d79b6b8ec267-268300) VM after about 24 hours. This is the one without any debugging, so it only confirms the fact that the panics we've been experiencing still exist in CURRENT. There was some disk issue that prevented the dump, so all I have is the panic, pasted below. The two test systems with full debugging are still running after a week and a half. > You might want to set > kern.kstack_pages=6 > in /boot/loader.conf in these setups. > > I would normally expect double faults when a kernel stack is blown, > but maybe there is a reason that you do now see that for a blown kernel > stack. (The impact of increasing stack pages from 4->6 should be minimal.) > > rick Rick - I'm a little confused by the kstack_pages tunable and just want to clarify. Are you proposing that this might solve the panic issues we've been having, or that it will make the panics/dumps more useful by avoiding false positives? We've only ever seen that "double fault" once in over 100 observed panics, and that was only when we enabled just KASAN on a 14.0p4 system. -Matt [85751] Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode [85751] cpuid = 3; apic id = 06 [85751] fault virtual address = 0x4f0f760 [85751] fault code = supervisor read data, page not present [85751] instruction pointer= 0x20:0x820022f7 [85751] stack pointer = 0x28:0xfe010bdf8d50 [85751] frame pointer = 0x28:0xfe010bdf8d80 [85751] code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b [85751]= DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1 [85751] processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 [85751] current process= 0 (z_wr_int_h_3) [85751] rdi: f802d1036900 rsi: f80416887300 rdx: f80416887380 [85751] rcx: f802d1036908 r8: 0100 r9: 8013070f000700ff [85751] rax: 04f0f748 rbx: f802d1036900 rbp: fe010bdf8d80 [85751] r10: f80412c4f708 r11: r12: f8000944ed58 [85751] r13: r14: 04f0f748 r15: fe010caa9438 [85751] trap number= 12 [85751] panic: page fault [85751] cpuid = 3 [85751] time = 1708451091 [85751] KDB: stack backtrace: [85751] #0 0x80b9803d at kdb_backtrace+0x5d [85751] #1 0x80b4a8d5 at vpanic+0x135 [85751] #2 0x80b4a793 at panic+0x43 [85751] #3 0x81026b8f at trap_fatal+0x40f [85751] #4 0x81026bdf at trap_pfault+0x4f [85751] #5 0x80ffd9f8 at calltrap+0x8 [85751] #6 0x81fea83b at dmu_sync_late_arrival_done+0x6b [85751] #7 0x8214a78e at zio_done+0xc6e [85751] #8 0x821442cc at zio_execute+0x3c [85751] #9 0x80bae402 at taskqueue_run_locked+0x182 [85751] #10 0x80baf692 at taskqueue_thread_loop+0xc2 [85751] #11 0x80b0484f at fork_exit+0x7f [85751] #12 0x80ffea5e at fork_trampoline+0xe [85751] Uptime: 23h49m11s
Re: FreeBSD panics possibly caused by nfs clients
Hi all, So I finally induced a panic on a "pure" ufs system - root and exported filesystem were both ufs. So, I think this definitively rules out zfs as a source of the issue. This panic was on 14.0p5 without debugging options, so the core may not be helpful. The panic and backtrace are below in case they're interesting to anyone. Next, I'm going to try a CURRENT kernel without debugging options enabled just to see if I can finally induce a panic here. My other two VMs running CURRENT with full debugging are still clanking along. -Matt [218716] Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode [218716] cpuid = 4; apic id = 08 [218716] fault virtual address = 0x10017 [218716] fault code = supervisor read data, page not present [218716] instruction pointer= 0x20:0x80e9165d [218716] stack pointer = 0x28:0xfe010b5aa3b0 [218716] frame pointer = 0x28:0xfe010b5aa400 [218716] code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b [218716]= DPL 0, pres 1, long 1, def32 0, gran 1 [218716] processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 [218716] current process= 49575 (nfsd: service) [218716] rdi: rsi: f800038ec900 rdx: fe00d9326000 [218716] rcx: 00030eb0 r8: r9: fe010b5aa410 [218716] rax: 008f0eb0 rbx: f8038ac4cd00 rbp: fe010b5aa400 [218716] r10: r11: r12: [218716] r13: f80003647c00 r14: f802f9dced00 r15: f800038ec900 [218716] trap number= 12 [218716] panic: page fault [218716] cpuid = 4 [218716] time = 1708319487 [218716] KDB: stack backtrace: [218716] #0 0x80b9309d at kdb_backtrace+0x5d [218716] #1 0x80b461a2 at vpanic+0x132 [218716] #2 0x80b46063 at panic+0x43 [218716] #3 0x8101d85c at trap_fatal+0x40c [218716] #4 0x8101d8af at trap_pfault+0x4f [218716] #5 0x80ff3fe8 at calltrap+0x8 [218716] #6 0x80e8716e at newdirrem+0x8be [218716] #7 0x80e866fa at softdep_setup_remove+0x1a [218716] #8 0x80ea71af at ufs_dirremove+0x21f [218716] #9 0x80ead4f4 at ufs_remove+0xb4 [218716] #10 0x810f1428 at VOP_REMOVE_APV+0x28 [218716] #11 0x80a60db4 at nfsvno_removesub+0xc4 [218716] #12 0x80a52699 at nfsrvd_remove+0x1b9 [218716] #13 0x80a374d4 at nfsrvd_dorpc+0x1854 [218716] #14 0x80a4e76f at nfssvc_program+0x82f [218716] #15 0x80e34080 at svc_run_internal+0xb50 [218716] #16 0x80e3475b at svc_thread_start+0xb [218716] #17 0x80b00b7f at fork_exit+0x7f [218716] Uptime: 2d12h45m16s [218716] Dumping 985 out of 16350 MB:..2%..12%..22%..31%..41%..51%..61%..72%..82%..91% #0 __curthread () at /usr/src/sys/amd64/include/pcpu_aux.h:57 #1 doadump (textdump=) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:405 #2 0x80b45d37 in kern_reboot (howto=260) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:526 #3 0x80b4620f in vpanic (fmt=0x81147c9c "%s", ap=ap@entry=0xfe010b5aa200) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:970 #4 0x80b46063 in panic (fmt=) at /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_shutdown.c:894 #5 0x8101d85c in trap_fatal (frame=0xfe010b5aa2f0, eva=4294967319) at /usr/src/sys/amd64/amd64/trap.c:952 #6 0x8101d8af in trap_pfault (frame=0xfe010b5aa2f0, usermode=false, signo=, ucode=) at /usr/src/sys/amd64/amd64/trap.c:760 #7 #8 cancel_diradd (dap=0xf8038ac4cd00, dirrem=dirrem@entry=0xf800038ec900, jremref=jremref@entry=0xf802f9dced00, dotremref=dotremref@entry=0x0, dotdotremref=dotdotremref@entry=0x0) at /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c:9028 #9 0x80e8716e in newdirrem (bp=, dp=dp@entry=0xf800037fea80, ip=ip@entry=0xf8006b3b9300, isrmdir=isrmdir@entry=0, prevdirremp=prevdirremp@entry=0xfe010b5aa4b0) at /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c:9480 #10 0x80e866fa in softdep_setup_remove (bp=0x, dp=0xf800038ec900, dp@entry=0xf800037fea80, ip=0xfe00d9326000, ip@entry=0xf8006b3b9300, isrmdir=200368, isrmdir@entry=0) at /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_softdep.c:9176 #11 0x80ea71af in ufs_dirremove (dvp=dvp@entry=0xf801f764be00, ip=ip@entry=0xf8006b3b9300, flags=, isrmdir=isrmdir@entry=0) at /usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_lookup.c:1198 #12 0x80ead4f4 in ufs_remove (ap=0xfe010b5aa5d8) at /usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_vnops.c:1054 #13 0x810f1428 in VOP_REMOVE_APV ( vop=0x8172f2d0 , a=a@entry=0xfe010b5aa5d8) at vnode_if.c:1534 #14 0x80a60db4 in VOP_REMOVE (dvp=0x8f0eb0, vp=0xf800539b7380, cnp=0x30eb0) at ./vnode_if.h:789 #15 nfsvno_removesub (ndp=0xfe010b5aa858, is_v4=, cred=, p=p@entry=0xfe010ae803a0, exp=exp@entry=0xfe010b5aaa88) at
Re: FreeBSD panics possibly caused by nfs clients
I had my first kernel panic with a KASAN kernel after only 01:27. This first panic was a "double fault," which isn't anything we've seen previously - usually we've seen trap 9 or trap 12, but sometimes others. Based on the backtrace, it definitely looks like KASAN caught something, but I don't have the expertise to know if this points to anything specific. From the backtrace, it looks like this might have originated in ipfw code. Please let me know what other info I can provide or what I can do to dig deeper. Thanks!!

This is mostly right - the bulk of our testing has been on GENERIC, with the KGSSAPI option added for kerberized nfs. I've had some out-of-band discussions where I learned about KASAN - I built a 14.0p4 kernel this morning with this and started a test a little while ago. Based on your suggestions, I'll also build a debug kernel so I can do some parallel testing with this. I also still need to do more testing to rule in or out zfs as Rick suggested. In our experience, these panics can take hours or days to manifest (our high bar so far is 176 hours!), so it may take a while to get results. :-) I'll post more here as there's anything to report.

Is it at all possible to test with FreeBSD-CURRENT? This is just 14.0-RELEASE, updated to p4.

Are you suggesting that I only add INVARIANTS (along with KASAN), or all the various debug bits: options DDB options INVARIANT_SUPPORT options INVARIANTS options QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH options WITNESS options WITNESS_SKIPSPIN >> Please let me know what other info I can provide or what I can do to dig >> deeper. > > If you could repeat the test several times, I'd be interested in seeing > if you always get the same result.

Re: FreeBSD panics possibly caused by nfs clients
Posting a few updates on this issue. I was able to induce a panic on a CURRENT kernel (20240215), built with GENERIC-KASAN and running kern.kstack_pages=6 (default) after ~189 hours. The panic message and backtrace are below - please reach out directly if you'd like to have a look at the core. I'm specifically not increasing kstack_pages to see what effect this has on the panics. I have another system running CURRENT (20240215) without any debugging. I'm able to regularly panic this (7 panics over two weeks with average uptime of ~42 hours) with kstack_pages=4. I set kstack_pages=6, and have also induced several panics. Oddly, this seems to happen more quickly (4 panics over 2 days with average uptime of ~10.5 hours). Another system running CURRENT (20240208), built with GENERIC-KASAN and running kern.kstack_pages=8 has now been running with our hdf5 workload non-stop since February 10th with no panics or issues. From all this, it seems like increasing kstack_pages to 8 eliminates the panics, but obviously doesn't fix the underlying cause of the issues. So, although this is an obvious workaround for our production system, it would be better to find and fix the underlying cause of the panics. I'm going to continue testing to try to generate more cores with kstack_pages<8 on the system with the debug kernel. Any other ideas to try to narrow down the cause are welcome.
