[uml-devel] "Configuring network interfaces...execvp of 'uml_net' failed - errno = 2" error msg

2006-02-17 Thread Stefano Melchior
Hi all,
I am trying to integrate 2.6.x support to debian and I encountered a
blocking issue on networking configuration.
If you use the 2.4.x uml kernel the UML image work fine with network, but
if you use an available 2.6.x uml image or a 2.6.x image of mine the uml
bootstrap phase hangs with the following error message:

Setting up networking...done.
* /etc/network/options is deprecated.
Setting up IP spoofing protection...done (rp_filter).
Configuring network interfaces...execvp of 'uml_net' failed - errno = 2

From previous messages I read that this concerns uml_net and its
permissions.
Do you have an idea how to work around this issue?
I also need it to apply to the future debian uml support.

Thank you in advance 

Cheers

SteX

Indeed on the same machine and with same config? It's strange, I never saw 
this incompatibility, and I can't find bugs in the code able to produce this 
(with a quick look). Could you check on your part?

Which are them? It should be setuid root and executable...

However, since:

# perror 2
OS error code   2:  No such file or directory

Uml is saying it didn't find uml_net, or some of its libraries, not that 
there's a permission problem.

Possibly it's lying and printing the wrong code, dunno. But from current code:

arch/um/os-Linux/helper.c:helper_child
execvp(argv[0], argv);
errval = errno;
printk("execvp of '%s' failed - errno = %d\n", argv[0], errno);

it seems not (that source file was somewhere else, guess in arch/um/kernel, 
until 2.6.14, but I think the content was the same).

yes, first I tried my own configuration, then I downloaded a prebuild uml
kernel from http://uml.nagafix.co.uk/ and I tried with this one. Same
error again.
Then I extracted the configuration from that image and I rebuild with that
config, same error for the same problem.

It was displayed in case of my test on 2.6.15, but it occurred even with
other kernels, such as 2.6.12 and 2.6.14.
Indeed with all 2.6.x kernels, it is the strangest thing. With 2.4.x it
works perfectly.
Another info: I used either the kernel.org sources and the debian's
linux-source(s).

I am going to investigate futher more

Ok, thanks for this informative info. This is the solution.

In short, echo $PATH | grep  /usr/lib/uml, and if needed man 3 execvp, could 
enlighten you... or even the fact that I do:

# ls -l /usr/bin/uml_net
-rws--x--x  1 root root 22856 16 feb 18:49 /usr/bin/uml_net

if you want the full story, instead, IOW:

Debian has his own very non-standard packaging for uml_utilities, and patches 
UML to cope with it. For instance, uml_switch has different defaults on UML 
(the socket goes into /var/run instead of /tmp, in UML).

And (but this is the first time I hear this) you have uml_net in /usr/lib/uml 
rather than /usr/bin. Which would be a better choice, btw... but isn't 
implemented in mainline (we maybe should).

> Another info: I used either the kernel.org sources and the debian's

But you're using a vanilla UML without the forward ports of all 2.4 patches 
(you're using linux-source(s), not a possible uml-linux-source(s)).

For the future packaging: I do believe that Debian's defaults have been 
actually planned while uml_utilities haven't, so I like the idea of switching 
to Debian paths as defaults, and possibly using the current ones as 
fallbacks.

damn, it drived me crazy!!! now it works, and I am going to provide the
solution in debian.
What it sounds strange is that:

(I temporarily linked uml_net from the current position)
all the other uml_* files resides on /usr/bin.
I am going to fix this.

Thanks Paolo for your usual good suggestions :))

Yup, as long as they are not too Debian-specific.

They tend to make more sense and adhere better to the 
FHS. /var/run/uml-utilities requires support from the distro, but having 
uml_net in /usr/lib is a correct idea, for instance.

Yep, we found the thing by accident - I would never have asked "where is 
uml_net?"

> What it sounds strange is that:

Indeed it's correct as long as you support actively UML - the user never runs 
uml_net so it should be under /usr/lib.

However, if the uml_utilities package provides both locations it's better for 
people rolling their own kernels (i.e. everyone on Debian, for now).

Btw, I've just released a new uml_utilities version - see my homepage.

I don't know about the rest of this, but something like this just
happened to me.  It was attaching the consoles to a host portal which
another UML was already using.  I got semi-reasonable "that portal is
already in use" errors in between the parse_chan_pair things.

So, were you trying to reuse some host devices, and which ones?  An
improvement in the errors might be in order here.

I don't know.  The did my standard "rootfstype=hostfs rw init=/bin/sh" thing, 
which should only have on process (a shell) on /dev/console.  All that 
happened before that even managed to run /bin/sh.

I don't think I had any other type of console support even built into the 
thing.  (Console on stderr support, everything else disabled.)

No idea what devices it was talking about...
