#16677 fixed A reliable way to hang AioMgr0-N under certain conditions deletedgmailduetoJamesDamore_firing
Description

A reliable way to hang AioMgr0-N when 'fs readahead'(hdparm -a) is on (and is 256(KiB)) but only when 'Use Host I/O Cache' is disabled in virtualbox 5.1.18 r114002 (currently latest available) on Arch Linux 64bit, host OS. Basically, reading from guest SATA HDD and/or IDE CD will hang AioMgr0-N(until killed) on host OS and guest OS will fail to read/boot etc.

This seems to be virtualbox settings-agnostic, except for the 'Use Host I/O Cache' which has to be disabled for this to occurr AND guest OS readahead has to be enabled (usually set to 256KiB; able to repro with 16KiB too, with different dd 'skip' settings). So, this doesn't ocurr when hdparm -a0 /dev/sda was executed, or any value between 0 and 7, inclusive, (keeps readahead 'off')

Note:

hdparm -a0 /dev/sda

seems to do the same as

# echo 0 > /sys/class/block/sda/queue/read_ahead_kb

Steps to reproduce this issue on a guest HDD/vdi (as opposed to a guest CD/IDE/iso which is in the 'next section'):

  1. get archlinux-2017.03.01-dual.iso (or any current/latest iso, BUT then the dd repro will most likely not work at the same 'skip'!)

However according to this comment from frank https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15281#comment:8 , I shouldn't be posting any such links here, but then reproducing this(with accuracy) is going to be really hard without them, so I'm going to be obscuring them with base64, hopefully that's a good compromise between not posting them and posting them...

archlinux webpage with torrent/magnet links, located here:

aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXJjaGxpbnV4Lm9yZy9yZWxlbmcvcmVsZWFzZXMvMjAxNy4wMy4wMS8=

(my)google drive, directory with the iso file:

aHR0cHM6Ly9kcml2ZS5nb29nbGUuY29tL29wZW4/aWQ9MEI2UC05VXlKRmp6S1ZsWkhUa1E0YUZWbGRUUQ==

sha1sum for that iso is:

f426866ca632a35a3eeae8e4080cff25ec8da614  archlinux-2017.03.01-dual.iso
  1. get my VM the reproduction steps only work with my VM with that specific vdi file; if that vdi gets cloned(even if to same format: vdi) it will not reproduce anymore! The IDE CD repro. steps will still work and make it hang reliably though (see 'next section')

  1. TODO: "import" the .vbox somehow in the VirtualBox UI! (export/import wouldn't have worked because it clones my vdi; and imports it as vmdk)
  2. ensure 'Controller: IDE' has 'Use Host I/O Cache' enabled (it does by default when creating new VM) this means CD access won't hang
  3. ensure 'Controller: SATA' has 'Use Host I/O Cache' disabled (it's disabled by default when creating new VM) this means HDD access will hang, below.
  4. start, Boot from CD/iso, you see grub "Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)", press Enter to boot from the iso (do not boot HDD's OS, it will hang during boot sequence)
  5. you get to the root prompt, auto logged in.

info:

This is the default, 256KiB of readahead:

# hdparm -a /dev/sda



/dev/sda:
 readahead     = 256 (on)

and

# hdparm -I /dev/sda

/dev/sda:

  1. how to hang (boot session 3 is most interesting, below)

No hang when the following: ----

boot session 1:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42208 count=8

boot session 2:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42216 count=2

boot session 3:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42215 count=1
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42216 count=1

Hang when the following: ----

boot session 1:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42208 count=9

boot session 2:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42215 count=2

boot session 3:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=42215 count=2

To exit the hang, just kill the PID of AioMgr0-N, eg. in 'top', press Shift+H to show threads names (maybe pressing 'c' is needed to toggle between cmdline/names, depending on your 'top' settings) then see the PID of AioMgr0-N, it should be at the top of the list using CPU (if sorted by %CPU, press x to see sort column) it's using about 22% constantly, unless you have set 3 CPUs in VM, then it's 100% (aka 1 core used fully) That kills the VM window, but not the VirtualBox UI window, which is what I want anyway.

What you see in guest's dmesg after the hang:

In the real world when 'Use Host I/O Cache' is disabled:

  • for the VM's IDE CD drive: I cannot boot from the ArchLinux or Manjaro iso (it will hang similarily)
  • for the VM's SATA HDD drive: cannot boot existing arch linux install

(also seen this on other guest linux distros; it's not an ArchLinux thing)


next section:

For hanging when reading /dev/sr0 aka 'the guest OS CD drive with archlinux-2017.03.01-dual.iso', when booting the OS from HDD,

two ways to reproduce:

Note: You cannot reproduce if readahead is off, eg. hdparm -a0 /dev/sr0

(also note, that -a256 being the default, the same dd 'skip' values from below will not work for a different readahead value)

way 1.

  1. to make HDD not hang AioMgr, clone it first (this magically gets rid of any AioMgr0-N hangs for some reason)

$ VBoxManage clonehd --format VDI arch3.vdi /tmp/cloned.vdi (obvious: to clone, first remove arch3.vdi from the VM, clone, then add cloned.vdi to the VM)

  1. set both IDE and SATA to have disabled 'Use Host I/O Cache'

c) boot from HDD(it boots from iso, at grub menu choose second option which is: 'Boot existing OS'); Don't boot iso's OS because it hangs instantly at Loading boot/x86_64/vmlinuz... and hangs AioMgr1-N with 99.9% cpu usage until you kill PID of AioMgr1-N which closes that VM's window.

way 2.

  1. if you didn't clone the vdi
  2. set only IDE(where iso is) on disbled 'Use Host I/O Cache', but let SATA(where vdi is) on enabled 'Use Host I/O Cache'
  3. boot, it will boot from iso, choose 'Boot existing OS' to boot from HDD(vdi)

way1&2 commons:

  1. at root prompt(you have to login as 'root', password is 'a'):

info:

[root@vm ~]# hdparm -a /dev/sr0

/dev/sr0:
 readahead     = 256 (on)
[root@vm ~]# hdparm -A /dev/sr0

/dev/sr0:
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error

No hang when the following:

boot session 1:

dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=88038 count=2
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=88040 count=2

boot session 2:

dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=88039 count=1

#12249 duplicate A saved session on Windows XP guest cannot be restored Panos Kavalagios
Description

When trying to restore a saved Windows XP session the following error is displayed:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine MS Windows XP. Failed to load unit 'PATM' (VERR_SSM_FIELD_NOT_CONSECUTIVE). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}

In the attached VBox.log you can find more information.

#17686 invalid A virtual machine with networking bridged to a vlan host interface, cannot communicate AlexSmirnoff
Description

Hi! I have a vlan interface named vlan100:

2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 74:46:a0:90:c3:7d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: vlan100@eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 74:46:a0:90:c3:7d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 172.17.100.222/24 brd 172.17.100.255 scope global noprefixroute vlan100
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::45a2:1264:44:3154/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

And I want a virtual machine bridged to this interface:

     <Network>
        <Adapter slot="0" enabled="true" MACAddress="0800276C0E92" type="82540EM">
          <DisabledModes>
            <InternalNetwork name="intnet"/>
            <NATNetwork name="NatNetwork"/>
          </DisabledModes>
          <BridgedInterface name="vlan100"/>
        </Adapter>
      </Network>

In this case the virtual machine cannot communicate, because of packets going to virtual machine appears tagged. You can see it tagged in attached screenshot of tcpdump in virtual machine.
