From 854ff7a06989d21ad52457f5df77bf3693462982 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: EJ Campbell Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2026 03:25:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] fix: output pipeline drops data after snapshot restore MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three bugs caused container stdout to not reach the host after snapshot restore: 1. put_mmds before VM resume: Firecracker accepts PUT /mmds while the VM is paused but the guest-visible data isn't updated. fc-agent never sees the new restore-epoch so it never reconnects. Fix: move put_mmds after resume. 2. Unconditional notify_one: cmd_snapshot_run fired output_reconnect.notify_one() for all snapshot types. For pre-start snapshots (container not yet running), the listener has no dead connection to drop. The stored Notify permit poisons the first real connection by immediately triggering the reconnect branch in select!, dropping a valid connection. Fix: only notify for startup snapshots. 3. Listener stuck on stale connection: fc-agent reconnects multiple times during snapshot create/restore cycles. Each reconnect creates a new vsock connection queued in the listener's accept backlog. The listener accepted the FIRST connection and blocked on read_line, while fc-agent wrote to the LATEST connection. Fix: race read_line against listener.accept() in tokio::select!, always switching to the newest connection. Also adds output verification to test_heavy_output_after_snapshot_restore to catch this class of bug — the test previously only checked health and exec, not that container output actually reached the host. --- src/commands/common.rs | 44 ++++---- src/commands/podman/listeners.rs | 165 ++++++++++++++++++----------- src/commands/snapshot.rs | 13 ++- tests/test_output_after_restore.rs | 62 +++++++++-- 4 files changed, 186 insertions(+), 98 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/commands/common.rs b/src/commands/common.rs index 4cc40511..929169d9 100644 --- a/src/commands/common.rs +++ b/src/commands/common.rs @@ -816,29 +816,7 @@ pub async fn restore_from_snapshot( "disk patch completed" ); - // Signal fc-agent to flush ARP cache via MMDS restore-epoch update - let restore_epoch = std::time::SystemTime::now() - .duration_since(std::time::UNIX_EPOCH) - .context("system time before Unix epoch")? - .as_secs(); - - client - .put_mmds(serde_json::json!({ - "latest": { - "host-time": chrono::Utc::now().timestamp().to_string(), - "restore-epoch": restore_epoch.to_string() - } - })) - .await - .context("updating MMDS with restore-epoch")?; - info!( - restore_epoch = restore_epoch, - "signaled fc-agent to flush ARP via MMDS" - ); - // FCVM_KVM_TRACE: enable KVM ftrace around VM resume for debugging snapshot restore. - // Captures KVM exit reasons (NPF, shutdown, etc.) to /tmp/fcvm-kvm-trace-{vm_id}.log. - // Requires: sudo access (ftrace needs debugfs).

By handle_clone_restore() via the restore-epoch watcher 2. By the explicit call at agent.rs:230 after notify_cache_ready_and_wait The double reconnect combined with tokio::sync::Notify's stored-permit behavior caused the output writer to cycle through ghost connections. Each reconnect created a new vsock connection that was immediately abandoned when the next reconnect fired, before any data was written. The host listener saw empty connections (0 lines, immediate EOF), causing container output like "not a tty" to be dropped entirely. Fix: remove the explicit reconnect at agent.rs:230.

When the select! handler consumed a notification, it re-stored the permit via notify_one() (intended for the disconnected branch). This created a self-poisoning cycle: the next select! would fire immediately on the ghost permit, dropping the freshly-reconnected stream before any data was written. Fix: - Remove Notify re-store in select! handlers (the flag drives reconnect) - Extract reconnect logic into try_reconnect() helper - Use the AtomicBool flag as the single source of truth - Disconnected branch uses timeout fallback (200ms) for robustness Add 3 tests: - test_double_reconnect_does_not_drop_messages: verifies flag+notify collapse multiple reconnect() calls into one cycle - test_no_notify_permit_cascade: verifies no ghost permits after consuming a notification (the old code re-stored them) - test_messages_survive_reconnect_window: verifies messages queued during reconnection are preserved in the channel --- fc-agent/src/output.rs | 263 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 202 insertions(+), 61 deletions(-) diff --git a/fc-agent/src/output.rs b/fc-agent/src/output.rs index c537a630..84d96e09 100644 --- a/fc-agent/src/output.rs +++ b/fc-agent/src/output.rs @@ -38,6 +38,9 @@ impl OutputHandle { } /// Signal the writer to reconnect vsock (after snapshot restore). + /// + /// Safe to call multiple times — the flag is the single source of truth. + /// Multiple rapid calls collapse into one reconnection cycle. pub fn reconnect(&self) { self.reconnect_flag .store(true, std::sync::atomic::Ordering::Release); @@ -64,27 +67,39 @@ pub fn create() -> (OutputHandle, impl Future) { (handle, writer) } -/// Try to write, racing against the reconnect signal. -/// Returns true if written.

This causes notify_cache_ready_and_wait() to fall through to its 30s timeout, delaying container startup by ~45s. Add an active write probe in the poll timeout branch: writing to a dead connection fails immediately with EPIPE/ECONNRESET/ENOTCONN, providing reliable detection that a snapshot was taken. With this fix, the dead connection is detected in <1s instead of waiting 30s. Also adds a timing assertion to the integration test (warm_start_secs < 30) to catch future regressions in snapshot restore detection.

Add a Notify-based rebind signal shared between the exec server, the restore-epoch watcher, and the cache-ready handshake. When either detects a snapshot restore, it signals the exec server to drop the old listener and bind a fresh socket with new epoll registration. Changes: - exec.rs: accept rebind_signal, select! between accept and rebind - agent.rs: create exec_rebind Notify, wire to exec server + watcher - restore.rs: signal exec rebind in handle_clone_restore() - mmds.rs: pass exec_rebind through watch_restore_epoch() --- fc-agent/src/agent.rs | 19 +++++++++++++---- fc-agent/src/exec.rs | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- fc-agent/src/mmds.rs | 5 +++-- fc-agent/src/restore.rs | 14 +++++++++--- 4 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/fc-agent/src/agent.rs b/fc-agent/src/agent.rs index 8a9cc99f..aabda837 100644 --- a/fc-agent/src/agent.rs +++ b/fc-agent/src/agent.rs @@ -64,18 +64,24 @@ pub async fn run() -> Result<()> { // Breaks the 30s poll loop when POLLHUP is not delivered after snapshot restore. let restore_flag = std::sync::Arc::new(std::sync::atomic::AtomicBool::new(false)); + // Exec server rebind signal — shared by restore-epoch watcher and cache-ready handshake. + // After vsock transport reset, the listener's AsyncFd epoll becomes stale. + let exec_rebind = std::sync::Arc::new(tokio::sync::Notify::new()); + // Start restore-epoch watcher let watcher_output = output.clone(); let watcher_restore_flag = restore_flag.clone(); + let watcher_exec_rebind = exec_rebind.clone(); tokio::spawn(async move { eprintln!("[fc-agent] starting restore-epoch watcher"); - mmds::watch_restore_epoch(watcher_output, watcher_restore_flag).await; + mmds::watch_restore_epoch(watcher_output, watcher_restore_flag, watcher_exec_rebind).await; }); - // Start exec server + // Start exec server with rebind signal for vsock transport reset recovery let (exec_ready_tx, exec_ready_rx) = tokio::sync::oneshot::channel(); - tokio::spawn(async { - exec::run_server(exec_ready_tx).await; + let exec_rebind_clone = exec_rebind.clone(); + tokio::spawn(async move { + exec::run_server(exec_ready_tx, exec_rebind_clone).await; }); match tokio::time::timeout(Duration::from_secs(5), exec_ready_rx).await { @@ -214,6 +220,11 @@ pub async fn run() -> Result<()> { eprintln!("[fc-agent] image digest: {}", digest); if container::notify_cache_ready_and_wait(&digest, &restore_flag) { eprintln!("[fc-agent] cache ready notification acknowledged"); + // Pre-start snapshot was taken and we've been restored into a new + // Firecracker instance.

Fix: extract the socket fd from AsyncFd (deregistering from epoll) and re-wrap it in a new AsyncFd (re-registering with epoll), without closing the socket. This refreshes the stale epoll registration after vsock transport reset while preserving active connections. Falls back to full drop+rebind with 50-retry limit if re-register fails, preventing infinite loops.
