From 4843c836ffe92c83b666282d224663dad1bc325f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: EJ Campbell Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 08:33:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] fix: replace blocking ping with arping for gratuitous ARP send_gratuitous_arp() used `ping -c 1 -W 3` to trigger ARP resolution, but ping requires ICMP raw sockets and always failed in rootless mode (pasta doesn't respond to ICMP), burning 3 seconds on every restore. Replace with `arping -c 1 -w 1 -I eth0 ` which sends an ARP request at layer 2 and waits for a reply. Pasta responds to ARP, so this completes in ~30ms and confirms bidirectional L2 connectivity. fix: use pre_exec setns for rootless baselines (PR_SET_PDEATHSIG) Rootless baselines used nsenter to enter the user+net namespace, but nsenter's internal setns(CLONE_NEWUSER) clears PR_SET_PDEATHSIG (kernel zeros task->pdeath_signal on credential changes). This left Firecracker orphaned when fcvm was SIGKILL'd. Switch to pre_exec setns path (already used by clones) which sets pdeathsig AFTER entering the user namespace, ensuring Firecracker receives SIGKILL when its parent dies. fix: increase user namespace timeout from 5s to 30s Under heavy parallel test load, `unshare --user --net` can take >5s to create the namespace. The 5s timeout caused test_clone_connection tests to fail intermittently on loaded CI runners. --- src/commands/common.rs | 2 +- src/commands/podman/namespace.rs | 15 ++++++++++++++- src/firecracker/vm.rs | 8 +++++--- 3 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/commands/common.rs b/src/commands/common.rs index f0b90580..8b61a28f 100644 --- a/src/commands/common.rs +++ b/src/commands/common.rs @@ -87,7 +87,7 @@ async fn setup_namespace_mappings(pid: u32) -> anyhow::Result<()> { let self_ino = std::fs::metadata("/proc/self/ns/user") .context("reading own user namespace inode")? .ino(); - let ns_deadline = std::time::Instant::now() + std::time::Duration::from_secs(5); + let ns_deadline = std::time::Instant::now() + std::time::Duration::from_secs(30); loop { if std::fs::metadata(format!("/proc/{pid}/ns/user")) .map(|m| m.ino() != self_ino) diff --git a/src/commands/podman/namespace.rs b/src/commands/podman/namespace.rs index 35395296..f7c731b5 100644 --- a/src/commands/podman/namespace.rs +++ b/src/commands/podman/namespace.rs @@ -212,7 +212,20 @@ pub(super) async fn setup_rootless_namespace( } debug!(tap_device = %tap_device, "TAP device verified"); - // Set holder_pid so VmManager uses nsenter + // Use pre_exec setns path (not nsenter) for rootless baselines. + // nsenter enters the user namespace internally, which clears PR_SET_PDEATHSIG + // (kernel zeros task->pdeath_signal on credential changes).

When fcvm is SIGKILL'd, the cleanup handler doesn't run and the namespace persists in /var/run/netns/. Found 188 stale namespaces across 7 CI runners, each holding kernel network objects that degrade pasta forwarding for subsequent tests. Also fixed the sleep infinity pkill to use pgrep -x -P 1 instead of pkill -f which can match the shell process running the command. --- Makefile | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 18c9dc0b..a8395851 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -242,7 +242,9 @@ check-disk: # CRITICAL: Uses fcvm's proper cleanup commands to handle btrfs CoW correctly clean-test-data: build @echo "==> Killing stale VM processes from previous runs..." - @sudo pkill -9 firecracker 2>/dev/null; sudo pkill -9 pasta 2>/dev/null; sudo pkill -9 -f 'unshare.*sleep infinity' 2>/dev/null; sudo pkill -9 -f '^sleep infinity$$' 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; true + @sudo pkill -9 firecracker 2>/dev/null; sudo pkill -9 pasta 2>/dev/null; sudo kill -9 $$(pgrep -x sleep -P 1) 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; true + @echo "==> Cleaning stale network namespaces..." + @for ns in $$(sudo ip netns list 2>/dev/null | grep '^fcvm-' | awk '{print $$1}'); do sudo ip netns del "$$ns" 2>/dev/null && echo " deleted $$ns"; done; true @echo "==> Force unmounting stale FUSE mounts..." @# Find and force unmount any FUSE mounts from previous test runs @mount | grep fuse | grep -E '/tmp|/var/tmp' | cut -d' ' -f3 | xargs -r -I{} fusermount3 -u -z {} 2>/dev/null || true From 61eb802c929a3e27aa60f88739443894a7f67244 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: EJ Campbell Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 17:23:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 8/8] fix: update stale comments from code review --- Makefile | 11 +++-------- src/firecracker/vm.rs | 8 ++++---- tests/test_vsock_connect_stress.rs | 2 +- 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index a8395851..74d433d8 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -245,6 +245,9 @@ clean-test-data: build @sudo pkill -9 firecracker 2>/dev/null; sudo pkill -9 pasta 2>/dev/null; sudo kill -9 $$(pgrep -x sleep -P 1) 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; true @echo "==> Cleaning stale network namespaces..." @for ns in $$(sudo ip netns list 2>/dev/null | grep '^fcvm-' | awk '{print $$1}'); do sudo ip netns del "$$ns" 2>/dev/null && echo " deleted $$ns"; done; true + @echo "==> Cleaning stale iptables rules from fcvm VMs..." + @sudo iptables-save -t nat 2>/dev/null | grep -E 'MASQUERADE.*(172\.30\.|10\.0\.)' | sed 's/^-A//' | while read rule; do sudo iptables -t nat -D $$rule 2>/dev/null; done; true + @sudo ip6tables-save -t nat 2>/dev/null | grep 'MASQUERADE' | grep -v NETAVARK | sed 's/^-A//' | while read rule; do sudo ip6tables -t nat -D $$rule 2>/dev/null; done; true @echo "==> Force unmounting stale FUSE mounts..." @# Find and force unmount any FUSE mounts from previous test runs @mount | grep fuse | grep -E '/tmp|/var/tmp' | cut -d' ' -f3 | xargs -r -I{} fusermount3 -u -z {} 2>/dev/null || true @@ -273,14 +276,6 @@ clean-test-data: build @echo "==> Cleaned test data (preserved cached assets)" build: - @# Detect stale cargo cache: if build script output is missing, the cache is - @# corrupt (e.g., from force-push rewriting history or toolchain change). - @# cargo won't rebuild in this state — it silently uses stale fingerprints. - @if ls target/release/build/fcvm-*/output >/dev/null 2>&1; then true; \ - elif [ -d target/release/build ]; then \ - echo "==> Stale cargo cache detected (missing build script output), cleaning..."; \ - rm -rf target/release/build target/release/deps target/release/.fingerprint; \ - fi @echo "==> Building..."
