From 2945399a92ce4526de1905ce377e96ecb74a2fd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael Garcia Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 07:26:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Reap orphaned UFFD guests in tests; tolerate transient post-restore exec TestFCUFFDOneShotLifecycle (Firecracker + UFFD snapshot-pager) flakes under shared-runner I/O contention: the post-restore in-guest exec over vsock intermittently returns EOF / gRPC Unavailable. Worse, when the test aborts it leaks the Firecracker guest, and an orphaned UFFD guest whose pager has exited spins its vCPU at 100% forever (no pager to service page faults), permanently burning a core per flake and worsening contention. The leak happens because test cleanup only killed meta.HypervisorPID, which is deliberately set to nil during standby/fork/restore transitions -- so a failure in that window left the guest unreaped. Fixes: 1. Robust orphan reaping (lib/instances/manager_test.go): cleanupOrphanedProcesses now also scans /proc/*/cmdline for any firecracker / cloud-hypervisor / qemu-system* / hypeman-uffd-pager process whose command line references this test's t.TempDir() data dir, and SIGKILLs them. Matching is scoped to the exact per-test data-dir prefix so it can never touch a sibling parallel test's guests. 2. Teardown ordering (lib/instances/manager_test.go): The reaper kills guests before pagers, so an orphaned UFFD guest is never stranded without a pager (which is what causes the vCPU spin). 3. Tolerate transient vsock errors (lib/instances/firecracker_test.go, compression_integration_linux_test.go): assertGuestFile and the in-guest exec inside requireRunningSleepInstance now use execCommandWithRetry, which retries ONLY transient connection errors (EOF / Unavailable / "client connection is closing" / etc.), never real assertion failures. 4. Production-safety guard (deferred, lib/instances/hypervisor_linux.go): Added a detailed TODO for terminating a UFFD guest when its pager is lost. The pager is a single shared, version-keyed systemd service (not per-guest) and there is no existing pager-health watchdog or pager->guest map, so a correct fix needs a new monitoring loop; doing it carelessly risks killing healthy guests on a benign pager restart. Deferred per "correctness over completeness"; the test-side reaper mitigates the CI flake today. Tested via gofmt + go vet (linux and darwin); integration tests require root+linux+network+KVM and run on the CI runner.

VM snapshot/fork/restore I/O all flows through $TMPDIR; today that is /tmp, bind-mounted onto the encrypted RAID5 data volume which delivers ~158 MB/s idle and as low as ~23 MB/s under concurrent CI load — squarely in the range that starves fork/restore and produces the flaky "did not reach Running within 45s" / vsock-EOF timeouts. /ci is on a separate disk (~400-500 MB/s) and cannot be starved by data_crypt contention. A controlled cgroup io.max experiment confirmed I/O causation (dose-response; CPU-throttle control passes), and /ci measured 406 MB/s vs /tmp 23 MB/s under live load. /ci is also shorter than /tmp, so it stays well under the 108-char AF_UNIX sun_path limit for VMM control sockets (unlike a /tmp/hci$N prefix). Requires the passthrough of TMPDIR through the test-linux sudo env, otherwise sudo strips it and os.TempDir() falls back to /tmp.

Under that contention guests boot/restore too slowly and their in-guest agents never connect, and parallel builds of the same image into the shared cache race and corrupt each other. Add a test-only weighted semaphore (acquireHeavyIO) that limits concurrent VM/snapshot/fork/restore/UFFD/warm-fork/compression tests to HYPEMAN_TEST_HEAVY_IO_PARALLELISM (default 4; <1 = unlimited). Light unit tests stay fully parallel. Gate the shared scenario helpers (runStandbySnapshotScenario, runWarmForkChain, runStandbyRestoreCompressionScenarios) and the remaining inlined heavy tests. Also add a per-image keyed lock in testsupport EnsureImageReady so two tests never build/seed the same image into the shared cache concurrently; distinct images still build in parallel.

Gate it via probeReflinkSupport, mirroring the existing disk-usage assertion: assert when reflink is supported, else assert anyway under strict mode, else skip with a log. Add HYPEMAN_TEST_REFLINK_STRICT (matching the HYPEMAN_TEST_PREWARM_STRICT convention) and enable it in the Linux CI test env so the runner still catches real reflink regressions. Also replace the TMPDIR=/ci comment that documented internal runner disk topology with a concise generic note (public repo).
