[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] fbarray: get fbarrays from containerized secondary

[ogawa.yasufumi]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <ogawa.yasufumi@lab.ntt.co.jp>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work as expected if secondary is run as app container becuase
each of containerized secondary has PID 1. To reserve unique name, use
hostname instead of PID if the value is 1.

I'm not too well versed in containers - is this hostname 1) always set, 
and 2) always unique?

Wouldn't an error in fscanf() leak the file handle? I think you need to 
fclose() before checking the result.

For docker, 1) hostname is always set. 2) The hostname is decided as 
short form of container ID, so it might not be unique even though very 
low possibility.

I found that we can get whole container ID in `/proc/self/cgroup` as 
discussed [1]. I think using hostname is reasonable way without running 
many secondary processes. However, it might be better to use 64 digits 
full container ID instead of 12 digits short ID if ensure uniqueness 
strongly. What do yo think?

I think it's better to err on the side of caution and guarantee better 
uniqueness. This code will get into an LTS and will be used for years to 
come :)

...however, i think a full 64-digit ID won't even fit into the fbarray 
filename, as i believe it's limited to something like 64 chars. Perhaps 
hostname would be enough after all... or we can increase fbarray name 
length - that would require ABI breakage but the ABI is already broken 
in this release, so it's OK i think.

Just a note: you're targetting this fix towards stable too. For stable, 
you cannot break ABI, so we would have to do with the shorter hostname. 
It's only for 19.08 that you can change fbarray length and use the full 
64-char container ID for uniqueness.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3 0/1] fbarray: get fbarrays from containerized secondary

[yasufum.o]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <yasufum.o@gmail.com>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if secondary is run as app container because each of
containerized secondary has PID 1. To reserve unique name, use hostname
instead of PID because hostname is assigned as a short form of 64
digits full container ID in docker.

v2:
  * fix typo in commit message
v3:
  * add fclose() after if getting hostname with fscan() is failed

Apologies for not pointing this out earlier, but do i understand 
correctly that there's no bounds checking here, and fscanf() will write 
however many bytes it wants?

I understand "%s" is not appropriate. hostname is 12 bytes char and I 
thought proc_id[16] is enough, but it is unsafe. In addition, hostname 
can be defined by user with docker's option, so it should be enough for 
user defined name.

How do you think expecting max 32 chars of hostname and set boundary 
"%32s" as following?

     proc_id[33];  /* define proc id from hostname less than 33 bytes. */
     ...
     if (fscanf(hn_fp, "%32s", proc_id) == EOF) {

As long as it takes NULL-termination into account as well, it should be 
OK. I can't recall off the top of my head if %32s includes NULL 
terminator (probably not?).

Do you agree if initialize with NULL chars to ensure proc_id is 
NULL-terminated? As tested on my environment, "%Ns" sets next of Nth 
char as NULL, but it seems more reliable.
     proc_id[33] = { 0 };

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 0/1] fbarray: get fbarrays from containerized secondary

[yasufum.o]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <yasufum.o@gmail.com>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if secondary is run as app container because each of
containerized secondary has PID 1. To reserve unique name, use hostname
instead of PID because hostname is assigned as a short form of 64
digits full container ID in docker.

---
v2:
  * fix typo in commit message
v3:
  * add fclose() after if getting hostname with fscan() is failed
v4:
  * Increase the size of proc_id to 33 and add boundary in calling
    fscan()

Re: [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v4 1/1] fbarray: get fbarrays from containerized secondary

[David Marchand]

Some comments.

The title does not reflect the observed issue.
I understand that secondary processeses can't be started from a docker
container.
The patch title should reflect this.

I don't think we want to backport this behavior change.

This variable only makes sense in the if (getpid() == 1) branch,
please move it there, and see below comment about using gethostname().

I understand this is how it works for docker.
Is this the same in other container environments?

Why not use gethostname() ?
Plus, this api defines the maximum size of the hostname as HOST_NAME_MAX bytes.

I've confirmed that secondary process can be started as a container app 
with SPP, and DPDK v18.08 and v19.08. SPP is a multi-process app 
supporting container usecases.

This issue was included from DPDK v18.08, and some users of SPP are 
still using stable 18.11. So, I would appreciate if you agree to backport.

Sure. It works correctly in secondary app container and I should replace it.

Umm... I've tested on other than docker because I don't have test 
environment. I am not sure which of container runtimes should be 
supported actually. I think it is enough as the first step to fix this 
issue of docker. Moreover, the essential problem is that getpid() 
returns 1 in docker or not.

I am also not sure which of environments other than docker should be 
supported if necessary. What do you think?

Yes. I should use gethostname() and replace hardcoded size with 
HOST_NAME_MAX.

Sorry, I don't understand.
Do you mean the secondary processes can be run from containers without
this patch?
Or once this patch is applied?

Secondary processes can be run from a container. The problem is we 
cannot run two or more secondary app containers. It is because each of 
secondary app container tries to create its metadata file and the name 
is decided with PID, and PID is 1 in all of containers. It means that 
all of secondaries try to have the same name of metadata file, and 
failed to create the same file. The first container app can create 
metadata file with PID 1, but failed to create second one with the same 
PID 1.

This patch is to change creating metadata file from using PID 1 to 
hostname which is unique in each of secondary containers.

To summarize, we can run just one secondary app container without this 
patch, but cannot two or more secondary app containers.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v5 0/1] fbarray: fix duplicated fbarray file in secondary

[yasufum.o]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <yasufum.o@gmail.com>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if secondary is run as app container because each of
containerized secondary has PID 1. To reserve unique name, use hostname
instead of PID because hostname is assigned as a short form of 64
digits full container ID in docker.

---
v2:
  * fix typo in commit message
v3:
  * add fclose() after if getting hostname with fscan() is failed
v4:
  * Increase the size of proc_id to 33 and add boundary in calling
    fscan()
v5:
  * revise title to reflect the issue
  * use gethostname() instead of getting from `etc/hostname`
  * use HOST_NAME_MAX for size of string for hostname

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v5 1/1] fbarray: fix duplicated fbarray file in secondary

[yasufum.o]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <ogawa.yasufumi@lab.ntt.co.jp>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if several secondaries run as app containers because each
of containerized secondary has PID 1, and failed to reserve unique name
other than first one. To reserve unique name in each of containers, use
hostname instead of PID only if PID is 1.

I wonder why is that?
What will prevent user to do something like:
docker run -it --cpuset-cpus=7-8 -v /local/kananye1:/local/kananye1 ubuntu-dpdk-local:latest /bin/bash
And then start dpdk app manually within the container?

Hi Konstantin,

Thank you for your comment.

My concern is running secondary as app container. In current 
implementation, the name of fbarray file is decided by using PID and it 
must be overlapped with other process because assigning PID is started 
from 1 in each of app container. This patch is to fix the issue.

I think it is doable running app from bash for testing, but not 
acceptable for a realistic usecase in which user manages several app 
containers.

Regards,
Yasufumi

User can have a bash script to start inside container first, that
would do some preparation work (setup env variables, etc.)....
Or some different scenario when user needs/wants to
spawn several processes within container. 
Inside the lib you can't assume that your usage scenario is the
only possible one. 
I think solution needs to be generic enough to cover all such cases.
BTW, why we can't always use hostname in fbarray format?

I don't know how to avoid to overlap PID from bash script because I 
think PIDs on host cannot see from inside of a container. So, I'm not 
sure it is possible.

> Inside the lib you can't assume that your usage scenario is the
> only possible one.
I don't want to modify it for a specific usecase, but just to avoid to 
overlap filenames. I think it is better this filename is decided by lib 
itself without any of user configuration because user don't need to care 
about the file which is used by DPDK internally.

> I think solution needs to be generic enough to cover all such cases.

> BTW, why we can't always use hostname in fbarray format?
Sorry, I don't know. But I wonder using PID is more assured to get 
unique name, but does not work only for secondary app container 
accidentally.

My thought was - probably we always can use the same format:
snprintf(name, RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN, "%s_%s_%u",
	primary_msl->memseg_arr.name,  gethostname(), getpid());
to fix that problem?

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v6 0/1] fbarray: fix duplicated fbarray file in secondary

[yasufum.o]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <yasufum.o@gmail.com>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if several secondaries run as app containers because each
of containerized secondary has PID 1, and failed to reserve unique name
other than first one. To reserve unique name in each of containers, use
hostname in addition to PID.

---
v2:
  * fix typo in commit message
v3:
  * add fclose() after if getting hostname with fscan() is failed
v4:
  * Increase the size of proc_id to 33 and add boundary in calling
    fscan()
v5:
  * revise title to reflect the issue
  * use gethostname() instead of getting from `etc/hostname`
  * use HOST_NAME_MAX for size of string for hostname
v6:
  * change to use hostname and pid to cover both of host and container
    cases
  * change RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN to NAME_MAX to reserve enough size for
    filename

I think the order should be reversed. Both containers and non-containers 
can have their hostname set, and RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN is of fairly 
limited length, so if the hostname is long enough, the PID never gets 
into the name string, resulting in duplicates. It is better have pid first.

Once that's fixed,

We can't backport this as is, see below.

The change on RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN breaks the ABI, so we cannot
backport this as is.
For 19.11, we can allow this breakage, but we need an update of the
release notes.

Besides, what is the impact in terms of memory consumption?

Personal preference, s/HOST_NAME_MAX/sizeof(hostname)/.


hostname[] is HOST_NAME_MAX bytes long.
In the worst case, we can get a non NULL terminated hostname string.
"
       gethostname() returns the null-terminated hostname in the
character array name, which has a length of len bytes.  If the
null-terminated hostname is too large to fit, then the name is
truncated, and
       no error is returned (but see NOTES below).  POSIX.1-2001 says
that if such truncation occurs, then it is unspecified whether the
returned buffer includes a terminating null byte.
...
NOTES
       SUSv2 guarantees that "Host names are limited to 255 bytes".
POSIX.1-2001 guarantees that "Host names (not including the
terminating null byte) are  limited  to  HOST_NAME_MAX  bytes".   On
Linux,
       HOST_NAME_MAX is defined with the value 64, which has been the
limit since Linux 1.0 (earlier kernels imposed a limit of 8 bytes).
"

How about making hostname[] HOST_NAME_MAX+1 bytes long?

Anatoly,

On the principle, it seems better, yes.
Just the comment on RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN indicates that you missed the
change at the top of the patch.
What do you think of this change?

Yes, i did miss that, apologies.

I don't have a strong opinion on this change, however the above comment 
would still be true if we make fbarray size to be hostname_max + 1 - we 
still potentially get no space for a pid. So if we're going to have pid 
in there as well, it should be hostname_max + pid_max (5 digits?) + 
whatever underscores we have + null terminator, to ensure it fits under 
any and all circumstances.

Wrt memory usage, honestly, we don't live in a "640K should be enough 
for everyone" era any more. I don't see this being a major issue. This 
is not a hotpath, and we reserve half a terabyte of virtual memory at 
startup as it is. A few kilo/megabytes more isn't going to make much of 
a difference here.

I think that at least on linux we have more than enough space here:

$ find /usr/include -type f | xargs grep ' NAME_MAX' | grep define
/usr/include/linux/limits.h:#define NAME_MAX         255        /* # chars in a file name */

$ find /usr/include -type f | xargs grep ' HOST_NAME_MAX' | grep define
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/bits/local_lim.h:#define HOST_NAME_MAX             64
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/local_lim.h:#define HOST_NAME_MAX           64

OK. I wasn't careful for the ABI change. I think RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN 64 
is enough without using hostname as a part of fbarray. So I would like 
to discard this change.

In "man 5 proc", it says the default value of pid_max is 32768, but can 
be set up to 2^22 (=4194304) on 64-bit systems. So, I think it is safer 
to consider pid_max is 7 digits.

I can find secondary's fbarray file named as
$ sudo ls /var/run/dpdk/rte/
...
fbarray_memseg-1048576k-0-0_24118
fbarray_memseg-1048576k-0-0_24191
fbarray_memseg-1048576k-0-0_24199
...

It consists of [prefix]-[hugepage size]-[numa node?]-[memchan?]_[PID]", 
and size of the name before PID is totally 28 digits. If another 
underscore and hostname are included in the name, the max size of 
fbarray file name is
   28 + 7(PID) + 1(underscore) + HOST_NAME_MAX+1(null terminator)

Considering 28 can be larger, how about using 32 as following?
+     int fbarray_sec_name_len = 32 + 7 + 1 + HOST_NAME_MAX + 1;

+     snprintf(name, fbarray_sec_name_len, "%s_%d_%s",
+                     primary_msl->memseg_arr.name, getpid(), hostname);

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v7 0/1] fbarray: fix duplicated fbarray file in secondary

[yasufum.o]

From: Yasufumi Ogawa <yasufum.o@gmail.com>

In secondary_msl_create_walk(), it creates a file for fbarrays with its
PID for reserving unique name among secondary processes. However, it
does not work if several secondaries run as app containers because each
of containerized secondary has PID 1, and failed to reserve unique name
other than first one. To reserve unique name in each of containers, use
hostname in addition to PID.

---
v2:
  * fix typo in commit message
v3:
  * add fclose() after if getting hostname with fscan() is failed
v4:
  * Increase the size of proc_id to 33 and add boundary in calling
    fscan()
v5:
  * revise title to reflect the issue
  * use gethostname() instead of getting from `etc/hostname`
  * use HOST_NAME_MAX for size of string for hostname
v6:
  * change to use hostname and pid to cover both of host and container
    cases
  * change RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN to NAME_MAX to reserve enough size for
    filename
v7:
  * discard changing RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN to NAME_MAX to avoid breaking
    ABI
  * introduce int fbarray_sec_name_len instead of RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN
    to define long filename only for secondary process
  * replace the order of postfixes of pid and hostname

What does 32 stand for? Maybe #define both 32 and 7 values?

Hi Anatoly,

Thank you for your comments! If my understanding is correct, the prefix 
"fbarray_memseg-1048576k-0-0_" is 28 digits and it could be larger if 
using the size of hugepage or the number of NUMA nodes are larger 
possibly. However, I think 32 digits is still enough.

 > Maybe #define both 32 and 7 values?
Yes. I think it should be better to use #define if this values are 
referred several times.

Yasufumi

We can truncate to RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN in all cases.
And iiuc, rte_fbarray_init will refuse any longer name anyway.

Could I confirm the issue? I've understood that it is failed to validate 
the name of fbarray in fully_validate() at 
"lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_fbarray.c:697".

static int
fully_validate(const char *name, unsigned int elt_sz, unsigned int len)
{
         if (name == NULL || elt_sz == 0 || len == 0 || len > INT_MAX) {
                 rte_errno = EINVAL;
                 return -1;
         }

         if (strnlen(name, RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN) == RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN) {
                 rte_errno = ENAMETOOLONG;
                 return -1;
         }
         return 0;
}

I should overwrite the definition of RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN as previous 
patch in this case, and it causes an ABI breakage, right? If so, I would 
like to make the change and give up to update stable release.

Thanks,
Yasufumi

It seems we're getting into bikeshedding...

We can do this without ABI breakage. You could have just used 
RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN as max fbarray name length for fbarray_sec_name_len 
(i.e. that would include hostname + pid + whatever else there is). The 
name, as David has pointed out, would be truncated to 
RTE_FBARRAY_NAME_LEN anyway (or, more precisely, it will be refused if 
it's longer than that), so this is the most you can have - so you can 
just use that as the maximum.

Your SoB line is not aligned with the Author.

Not sure, why do we need this calculation at all?

Since this is an ABI break. I propose that a more invasive solution
would be better. Either change to using something more unique GUID
or change the fbarray structure to be a variable length array.
The internals of fbarray should also be hidden (ie not in rte_fbarray.h)
and the init() function changed into something that allocates the array.

The current patch has not gotten any followup or acceptance in 4 years.
So marking it as changes requested.
