      Y wcfs: Switch to work with mount entries instead of mountpoints · 1335412f
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Because mount entries provide more information compared to just one
      string mountpoint. For example later for `wcfs status` and `wcfs stop`
      we will need to use the ID of a "device" that is attached to the mount,
      and also the type of the filesystem that is serving the mount.
      
      -> Introduce internal.os.MountDB to retrieve information from OS
         registry of mounted filesystems and use its entries instead of plain
         mountpoint string.
      
      wcfs_test.py already had some rudimentary code to parse /proc/mounts
      which we also replace with querying MountDB.
      
      The API of MountDB might be viewed as a bit of overkill but it will
      align with API of upcoming ProcDB for which it will be reasonable.

      Y wcfs: Make .wcfs/zhead to be debug-only feature and move it to .wcfs/debug/zhead · ae2d0f53
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Currently it is easy to deadlock wcfs by opening .wcfs/zhead and not
      reading from opened zhead handle due to the nature of what this zhead
      file is designed to do. For this reason we want .wcfs/zhead not to be present
      on production deployments and be available only where it is needed -
      during test runs.
      
      -> Introduce -debug flag for that to "enable debugging features" and put
         .wcfs/zhead to be that debug-only feature, and move it to be
         .wcfs/debug/zhead for clarity.

      Y wcfs: Rename -d to -trace.fuse · d4dd89c9
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Three reasons:
      
      1) -d is not very descriptive, it's help "debug" is also too vague;
      2) currently it only activates trace of FUSE exchange
      3) in the next patch we are going to introduce -debug that will activate
         debugging-only features which will remain disabled on production runs
         for safety.
      
      -> Rename -d to -trace.fuse to clarify its meaning and prepare for
         upcoming -debug.

      XY wcfs: multiprocessing: Teach join to return what invoked function returned · 0c412a5d
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      For upcoming `wcfs status` we will need to be able to invoke functions
      from stdlib and similar and retrieve their returned values.
      
      XXX not sure the API is right. Maybe join should just join and return
      value retrieved via .retvalue() method.

      Y wcfs: multiprocessing: Allow SubProcess to be used with plain functions directly · f4cf5aff
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Sometimes it is useful to run just f(*argv, **kw) instead of f(cin,
      cout, *argv, **kw). For example for upcoming `wcfs status` we will need
      to run os.stat(".wcfs/zurl") and similar things. Add low-level
      flag-parameter to omit passing cin and cout to the called function.

      Y wcfs: tests: Teach tSubProcess to run function from any module · 989c7105
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      We will soon need to use tSubProcess not only for tests and so will move
      it out to another place. It will need to be able to run functions from
      both wcfs/wcfs_faultyprot_test.py and from other modules. Prepare to
      that.

      Y wcfs: tests: Fix double close of pipes in tSubProcess · 5571e203
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Running tests in wcfs/wcfs_faultyprot_test.py was yielding errors about
      invalid closes, e.g.
      
          wcfs/wcfs_faultyprot_test.py::test_wcfs_pinhfaulty_kill_on_watch[_bad_watch_no_pin_read]

      Since soon we are going to use tSubProcess not only in tests this will
      become less innocent with more incentive to fix.
      
      Looking at the strace output I saw that the same file descriptor was
      being closed twice in a row. Looking at strace further revealed that
      this fd was created via pip syscall and finally I could connect it to
      the pipe created by subprocess.Popen.
      
      So what happens here is that we were taking fd number from
      subprocess.Popen and passing it to multiprocessing.Connection with both
      thinking they own the fd, and closing it on GC.
      
      -> Fix that by really passing the fd to MPConnection as a copy first, and
         then redirecting Popen fds to devnull - to make sure in robust way
         that stdin/out IO does not interfere with pickle exchange going on in
         between child and parent via multiprocessing connections.
      
      Fixes 33ea7769 (wcfs: tests: Move client to be pinkill'ed into separate process)

      wcfs/fuse: Allow other users to access file system · d3ae0c6c
      Levin Zimmermann authored
      On Theia all Slappartitions have the same user, however on bare-metal
      SlapOS each partition has a different user. In this case zope nodes are
      not allowed to read WCFS, because they belong to a different user (even
      when every user read permission). This is a feature of FUSE and can be
      disabled with 'allow_other'. This is unconditionally done with this
      patch to allow deployment of WCFS on bare-metal SlapOS.

      wcfs: Clarify error context when WatchLink.sendReq is waiting for reply · 39d53cbb
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      sendReq has two phases: a) send request, and b) read reply. When there
      is an error on the first phase, e.g. client does not read what wcfs is
      trying to send, it returns an error like
      
          pin #2 @03fb63abd6d65b33: sendReq: send .2: context deadline exceeded
      
      however when there is an error on the second phase, e.g. client does not
      reply to wcfs request, it currently returns an error like
      
          pin #2 @03fb63abd6d65b33: sendReq: context deadline exceeded
      
      which is not clear to interpret about which part was problematic.
      
      After this patch the error for the second case becomes
      
          pin #2 @03fb63abd6d65b33: sendReq: waiting for reply: context deadline exceeded
      
      which is easier to interpret.

      wcfs: v↑ go dependencies · 764d4da8
      Levin Zimmermann authored
      This patch updates:
      
      - github.com/golang/glog: we already wanted to do so in
          nexedi/wendelin.core!23,
          but we deferred it to keep go 1.18 support. However in recent patches
          we already dropped go 1.18 support and we can therefore update glog now.
      - lab.nexedi.com/kirr/neo/go: add fix in handshake, see here for more information:
          kirr/neo@d75f4ac2 and
          kirr/neo@03db1d8a
      
      This patch doesn't update:
      
      - github.com/hanwen/go-fuse: This was updated upstream and Kirill already
          reviewed and integrated patches in custom branch. However when updating
          go-fuse to v2.4.3-0.20240904154523-9546fc238dc6 (this is
          kirr/go-fuse@9546fc23),
          WCFS tests fail on my machine [1] => let's defer update
      - github.com/kisielk/og-rek: there are new patches that will be needed
          in the future, but we didn't update NEO/go og-rek dependency yet,
          so let's defer the update in wendelin.core until we updated og-rek
          in NEO/go
      - github.com/johncgriffin/overflow: no update on upstream
      - github.com/pkg/errors: no update on upstream
      - github.com/stretchr/testify: This was already updated with
          nexedi/wendelin.core@c559ec1a
          'testify' seems to have a major release in the future which may break
          some of our test code, but for now major version 1 is still the
          stable release.
      
      ----
      kirr: I confirm that
      kirr/go-fuse@9546fc23 brings in
      regression to WCFS tests. It seems I missed some error in that go-fuse
      update and it will need to be bisected and debugged.

      If a client, on purpose or due to a bug or being stopped, is slow to respond
      with ack to file invalidation notification, it creates a problem because the
      server will become blocked waiting for pin acknowledgments, and thus all
      other clients, that try to work with the same file, will get stuck.
      
      [...]
      
      Lacking OS primitives to change address space of another process and not
      being able to work it around with ptrace in userspace, wcfs takes approach
      to kill a slow client on 30 seconds timeout by default.

      But before, this protection wasn't implemented yet: one
      faulty client could therefore freeze the whole system. With this work
      this protection is implemented now: faulty clients are killed after the
      timeout or any other misbehaviour in their pin handlers.
      
      Working on this topic also resulted in several fixes and improvements
      around isolation protocol implementation on the server side.

      wcfs: Require Go 1.19 + go mod tidy · 1fcef9c9
      Levin Zimmermann authored
      I would only suggest one very tiny change. In go.mod we have:
      
          module lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/wcfs
      
          go 1.14
      
      I think this needs to be updated to go 1.19 due to atomic.Int64.
      
      And maybe we just need general go mod tidy update.

      wcfs: Shutdown WatchLink on any pin error · 007d53db
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      If a pin misbehaves or there is IO error or anything else, we want to
      stop all communication on the watchlink, cancel on in-flight pin
      handlers, and (TODO) kill the client with SIGBUS.
      
      This patch organizes WatchLink shutdown on any pin error.
      This functionality is indirectly tested by test_Wcfs_watch_robust and
      will be also indirectly tested by faultyprotection tests.
      
      It would be good to have dedicated tests probably, but that is,
      hopefully, TODO.

      wcfs: Do not cancel pin handler by a READ interrupt · 7a79bdd6
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Pinning is critical operation whose failure will soon lead to client
      being killed with SIGBUS. WCFS correctness also depend fundamentally on
      pin operation, if started, to be handled by the client.
      
      -> rework the READ handler not to cancel pin if a READ interrupt comes
         in from the OS client.
      
      Do this via organizing WatchLink.serveCtx and running pins under this
      context instead of under READ context. Later we will adjust pins to also
      cancel this context on any error.
      
      Test is, hopefully, TODO.

      Kirill Smelkov authored
      When serve is completing and going to exit, it sends an error message to
      the client without any timeout. So if the client is not reading from the
      channel, wcfs will get stuck waiting for the message to be consumed.
      
      -> Fix that by trying to send that last error only during 1 second and
         ignoring errors if any

      wcfs: Rework WatchLink.serve to rely on context cancellation to stop reading · c7c3b82a
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Previously we were using .sk.CloseRead() to interrupt sk.Read(), but
      that is not necessary since .sk, relying on xio.Pipe, implements
      xio.Reader natively with full support for cancellation.
      
      The original code to cancel via CloseRead comes from mid 2019 and predates
      
      go123@7ad867a3
      go123@0e368363
      go123@0bdac628
      go123@9db4dfac
      go123@d2dc6c09
      
      And in b17aeb8c and
      6f0cdaff (wcfs: Provide isolation to clients), it seems, I missed to
      update WatchLink.serve code to that.
      
      Do that now because it simplifies code flow organization a bit.

      wcfs: tests: Extend faulty protection tests with more kinds of faulty clients · c91fb14e
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      So far we were testing only against faulty client that reads pin
      notification ok, but does not reply to the notification. But there could
      be more problems:
      
      1) a client does not read pin notification at all
      2) a client closes watchlink abruptly after reading pin notification
      3) a client replies to pin notification but the reply is not "ack"
      
      The first problem, if not handled leads to whole set of clients to
      become stuck on reading the same block as the faulty client. The other
      problems also indicate breakage of the isolation protocol from the client
      side and that wcfs can no longer be sure that it provides good
      uncorrupted data to the client.
      
      In the first case, similarly to "no reply" situation we need to kill the
      client to make progress while maintaining safety as well. In the cases 2
      and 3 we cannot maintain safety if the faulty client remains in the set
      of live and served clients, so it is also logical to send SIGBUS/SIGKILL
      to it.
      
      Killing a client with SIGBUS is similar to how OS kernel sends SIGBUS when
      a memory-mapped file is accessed and loading file data results in EIO. It is
      also similar to wendelin.core 1 where SIGBUS is raised if loading file block
      results in an error.
      
      Extend tests to cover all explained scenarios.

      wcfs: tests: Add test to exercies faulty client that does not reply to pin triggered by readPinWatchers
      
      Levin writes:
      
          This patch extends the test scope of 'test_wcfs_pintimeout_kill'. Before
          this patch, the test only ensured that a client that does not
          respond to pin requests during the initial watch request [1] is
          killed. Now it also tests that a faulty client is killed when a block
          is invalidated. Since there are no other situations where the WCFS
          server sends pin requests to a client, the tests now cover all situations
          where a faulty client might not respond. This patch therefore aims to
          increase the security that WCFS is not blocked by a faulty client.

      wcfs: tests: Allow to adjust tDB.assertBlk timeout · 82aa5949
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Currently assertBlk uses default timeout() to wait for READ operation to
      complete. That works well everywhere except that in faulty
      protection tests wcfs server will first need to wait for its own
      pintimeout time to kill the faulty client and only then	return read
      result to all non-faulty clients.
      
      This way corresponding test, when one client fails to handle pin
      notification well triggered due to READ operations, will need to use
      adjusted longer timeout for the good client when doing assertBlk.
      
      Adjust assertBlk to allow specifying custom timeout as preparatory step
      for that.

      Kirill Smelkov authored
      If wcfs kills client that did not respond to pin notification in
      pintimeout time, we need to wait strictly _more_ than that time to detect
      whether client was killed or not. And in practice, due to noise in
      operating system load and other factors, that waiting time should be
      significantly greater to detect lack of expected event. However we were
      waiting for exactly 1·pintimeout time and were claiming that there was
      no pinkill event right after that.
      
      -> Wait for 2·pintimeout instead of 1·pintimeout to make pinkill detection robust.
