Running a multiple-domain start/destroy loop, libvirtd 1.1.1 restarts
occasionally due to assertion failure in libnl.
This affects both precise/quantal versions of netcf.
Distibution version: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Kernel: 3.5.0-41-generic #64 SMP Mon Dec 9 20:35:04 UTC 2013 x86_64
Libvirt: libvirt_1.1.1-0ubuntu8.2~cloud1 from cloud repository.
Qemu-kvm: qemu-kvm_1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.12 [qemu 1.5 not yet tested]
libnl: libnl-3-200_3.2.3-2ubuntu2
Platform: HP ProLiant SL390s G7 x86_64; 2 socket x 6 cores/socket x 2
HT/core; 96GB
How to reproduce:
1. Define a number of test domains. E.g., test-nn, nn from 01 .. NN. I
use 32
Test domains have 4 vcpu, 8G memory, running an Ubuntu 11.04 image.
Network is libvirt default virtual network. Domain mac addresses based
on test number nn and dhcp serves fixed IP addresses based on mac
address.
2. In a loop:
2a. start the NN domains serially -- waiting for the "virsh start" command to
complete before starting next domain.
2b. sleep 20sec -- give domains some time to boot. Test doesn't check that
domains have completed booting.
2c. destroy the NN domains "in parallel" -- with "virsh destroy test-$nn &"
2d. sleep 15secs.
sleep times are more or less arbitrary. Next pass of starts does
usually begin before previous pass of destroys completes, but I've never
seen it say that "domain <name> already running" or such.
What I expected to happen: start-destroy loop runs indefinitely without
error.
What happened instead: Eventually, I start seeing errors like:
error: Failed to destroy domain lnvtest-31
error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
error: One or more references were leaked after disconnect from the hypervisor
and
error: failed to get domain 'lnvtest-12'
error: Domain not found: no domain with matching name 'lnvtest-12'
Checking the libvirt debug log, I see that libvirtd restarted during
this iteration, dumping its internal log buffer in the process.
gdb traceback shows:
