From what I have seen this mmap interface is still fundamentally racy.
How about splitting it to a separate patch?
Hi all!
Michael, you're right that this is fundamentally racy on its own. Even if we
eliminate the
IRQ race by mmaping HW directly, it is still fundamentally racy when looking
one or more
layers above.
The only way to eliminate races is having a system-level overlord entity that
quiesces the
system before a snapshot then, on snapshot-load/resume, makes sure all software
adjusts
before unquiescing and allowing safe workload continuation.
Without this overlord synchronization there will be races in the callers of the
sysgenid API
even if the API syscall itself is race-free.
Let's take an OpenSSL session token for example. OpenSSL is a prime target for
the mmap()
interface so it can be fast (checks against memory - read/write syscalls in the
hotpath will
likely not work). Even if the library code is made 100% race-free, the session
token still lives
in the caller of the library and/or in the OS network stack, etc.
We even have the same problem with the transactional read/write API. It too, is
racy if
snapshots can happen at any arbitrary time during an active workload. A library
or application
can go through the read/write transaction successfully (race-free) and generate
a
"safe/unique" secret, then get snapshotted while that secret is in-flight with
no way to catch
it unless we'd check generation at every layer, every step of the way (which
looks impossible
to me).
Bottom line is we don't have a way to track all of these in-flight secrets and
dynamically scrub
them from existence with snapshot events happening arbitrarily.
But, we can do the next best thing. Simplify the problem space, drop the
arbitrary part and
take some control over the snapshot flow. Use an overlord entity that quiesces
the system
before snapshot, and un-quiesces post-snapshot-resume _only after_ system
components
have readjusted to new environment/generation.
Add sysgenid framework that standardizes an API for system software to find out
about
needing to readjust and at the same time provide a mechanism for the overlord
entity to wait
for everyone to be done, the system to have readjusted, so it can un-quiesce.
In this context, this is how I see the utility and safe-usage of the sysgenid
API:
- The poll(), read(), write() operations are used in event loops so software is
notified (while
in quiesced state) that generation has changed and they need to do their
specific internal
adjustments. If done transactionally, they can ACK that they are ready to
thrive in the new
generation.
- The WAIT_WATCHERS ioctl() is used by the overlord to know when system is
ready for
un-quiesce.
- SysGenID needs a (currently missing) IOCTL or some other type of knob for
users to
enable/disable tracking, where tracking means sysgenid driver keeping track
of that FD as
a *watcher* - keeping track if it is up-to-date or outdated.
- There is a class of software (like PRNG libraries or OpenSSL since we talked
about it earlier)
that doesn't fit the event-loop model and also has strict latency
requirements. These can
take advantage of the mmap() interface and lazily adjust on-demand whenever
they are
called _after un-quiesce_.
For a well-designed service stack, these libraries should not be called while
system is
quiesced. When workload is resumed by the overlord, on the first call into
these libs, they
will JIT readjust race-free.
Users of mmap() interface would disable watcher tracking since they lazily
on-demand
readjust and waiting on them doesn't make sense.
Now I know that there is a lot of subtlety involved here, but this is a hard
problem without
an easy simple solution. If you and people here agree on this approach I will
document all of
this in great detail with big fat warnings on how to safely use it (in driver
documentation).
I'm sorry for the massive reply, but the proposed mechanism and its details are
a direct
result of the valuable feedback coming from this upstream review, and I want to
make sure
we align on all details so we get it right!
Let me know what you all think!

And this is racy, isn't it? There is not system call to synchronize
with interrupts, so the value this reads could be out of date.
Yes, without system quiescing and controlled snapshot moments, all of these are
racy.
I will rewrite documentation to capture all details and pitfalls and how to use
sysgenid
safely.

interrupt could be in flight at this point. I think you need
to synch with that IRQ otherwise your read will return stale data.
Since the user also needs to ACK the right gen counter, the race is not here
(stale generation will fail ack). But you're on-point, this race does exist but
during write().
Interrupt could be in flight when user ACKs generation.
Alas I don't think we can safely support arbitrarily timed snapshots.
Safely used snapshots should each follow a full
quiesce -> take-snapshot -> load-snapshot -> full-system-adjust -> un-quiesce
cycle before repeating.
In such a scenario, there is no race here.
