Error when dumping singularity container

[Wosch96]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to checkpoint and restore a singularity container with criu. I get an error when dumping the container and maybe you could help me out. I'm running criu with the following command when trying to dump the container.

criu dump -o dump.log -v4 -t 7209 -D ./ --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts --ext-mount-map /etc/hostname:/etc/hostname --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/var/tmp --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /root:/root --ext-mount-map /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /sys:/sys --ext-mount-map /proc:/proc --ext-mount-map /dev:/dev --ext-mount-map /dev/hugepages:/dev/hugepages --ext-mount-map /dev/mqueue:/dev/mqueue --ext-mount-map /dev/pts:/dev/pts --ext-mount-map /dev/shm:/dev/shm

This is the error that occurs in the dump.log. (00.002619) Error (criu/files-reg.c:1629): Can't lookup mount=39 for fd=-3 path=/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/starter (00.002629) Error (criu/cr-dump.c:1262): Collect mappings (pid: 7209) failed with -1

Here is the whole dump.log.

Thank you in advance.

@Snorch and ideas what might be going on?

[Wosch96]

Just FYI: I'm running singularity-ce version 3.9.5, the newest one. Did the checkpointing work with older versions of singularity?

Cheers.

[adrianreber]

I am not aware that CRIU ever worked with singularity. No one spoke to us about singularity.

[adrianreber]

For crun and runc we have integration of CRIU directly in the container runtime. Checkpointing without the help of the container runtime is always challenging.

[Wosch96]

Yeah, I heard about that. I'm doing this for my own project to get CRIU running with singularity. This issuer here tried the same, but he found a way to solve it. The error in my case is a little different and could be related to the newer version of singularity.

[Snorch]

Error (criu/files-reg.c:1629): Can't lookup mount=39 for fd=-3 path=/usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/starter

This looks like a file mapping on detached mount (known problem).

E.g. I can reproduce the same error with a simple bash script in Virtuozzo container:

CT-2b5b6c67-d666-4950-abd0-8c0ceca03d96 /# cat prepare_detached.sh

So if mount on which process has an open file was lazy-umounted criu just can't c/r this process, unless the file is closed.

upd:

Other option is that your file mapping can be external (file outside of container), proper --external file[] + --inherit-fd should be provided by container environment in this case.

[Wosch96]

Other option is that your file mapping can be external (file outside of container), proper --external file[] + --inherit-fd should be provided by container environment in this case.

@Snorch So I should be able to checkpoint the container with these two commands? In my case there's not really a problem with a file or am I wrong there? Can I use these two commands --external file[] + --inherit-fd to bypass the lookup mount problem? The other external mount map commands do their job correct.

Thank you for the help.

[Snorch]

@Wosch96 please see examples and explanations about how and when --external file[] + --inherit-fd can be used to handle external files in this article https://criu.org/Inheriting_FDs_on_restore

In simple words file is external if it was not opened/mmaped inside container. This way criu can't find it inside container, and can't automatically restore it. in this situations the container manager which should know all files which it puts into container from host would be able to provide criu information from where to take this file from host on restore (via the mentioned options).

[Wosch96]

In my environment, I don't have a container manager, as I build a singularity container from scratch with a definition file and then try to checkpoint the application that I'm running inside this container. Therefore I'm not really sure how to use the external files and --inherit-fd in my case. Could you clarify that? I read the acrticle about "inheriting FD's on restore" but it's my first time using CRIU so I don't get the exact usage for my example case.

In my case: My dump file tells me about this file /usr/local/libexec/singularity/bin/starter where no mount look up is possible. So when dumping, I would use a command like this? use --external file[39:inode] But I'm not sure how to check the mount id and the "Inode"? I assume the mount id in my dump.log tells me it's 39?

When I restart the process I should work with something like this? --inherit-fd fd[0]:file[39:...]. As I said before, I'm not really sure about the information that is needed to set the --inherit-fd.

I appreciate the help.

[avagin]

@Wosch96 If you need to dump only one application and don't need to dump the container itself, it can be easier to run criu from the container and avoid all these problems with mounts and external fds.

[Wosch96]

@avagin Yes, I already thought so, but for my project I want to test container dumping. So I still would like to try it that way, if it's only for reasearch purposes. Any advices?

[avagin]

@Wosch96 I recommend to look at how C/R is implemented in runc: https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/blob/main/libcontainer/container_linux.go#L767-L1894

The most complicated part is how to handle external resources (mounts, file descriptors and etc).

[Wosch96]

Little update by my side, I got the dump running. I solved it like in this issue. But I'm still having a problem when restoring.

After running this command: strace -o strace.log -s 256 -f criu restore -o restore.log -v4 -D ./ --shell-job --root /home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /etc/hostname:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/var --ext-mount-map /tmp:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/tmp --ext-mount-map /root:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/root --ext-mount-map /etc/localtime:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /sys:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/sys --ext-mount-map /proc:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/proc/ --ext-mount-map /dev:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/dev --ext-mount-map /dev/hugepages:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/dev --ext-mount-map /dev/mqueue:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/dev --ext-mount-map /dev/pts:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/dev --ext-mount-map /dev/shm:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/dev --ext-mount-map /etc/group:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /etc/passwd:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /home/node2:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/home --ext-mount-map /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/proc --ext-mount-map /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC:/home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/usr

The strace file shows this error. 1272 write(127, "(00.025032) 1272: Opening 0x00000000400000-0x00000000401000 0000000000000000 (41) vma\n", 88) = 88 1272 openat(120, "home/node2/container/matMult", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 1272 write(127, "(00.025092) 1272: Error (criu/files-reg.c:2143): Can't open file home/node2/container/matMult on restore: No such file or directory\n", 134) = 134 1272 write(127, "(00.025113) 1272: Error (criu/files-reg.c:2086): Can't open file home/node2/container/matMult: No such file or directory\n", 123) = 123 1272 write(127, "(00.025131) 1272: Error (criu/mem.c:1349): - Can't open vma\n", 63) = 63

I've fixed all the external mount problems, but I don't know where to drop this file in order to let CRIU find it. Should this also be solved with an external mount? The application file matMult is in /home/node2/container/matMult.

Should i copy it to the root path? /home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/home/node2/container/matMult

Logs: dump.log restore.log strace.log

[adrianreber]

From how I understand the dump.log the original container had /home/node2 mounted at /home/node2 in the container.

For the restore it seems you are mounting /home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints at /home/node2 and now it seems your binary is not there.

Should i copy it to the root path? /home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/home/node2/container/matMult

To fix the error it would be enough to just copy /home/node2/container/matMult to /home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints/node2/container/matMult ... (if I am not confused by your paths).

[Wosch96]

@adrianreber Just for specifying the dump command. I used this command: criu dump -o dump.log -v4 -t 1581 -D ./ --shell-job --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts --ext-mount-map /etc/hostname:/etc/hostname --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/var/tmp --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /root:/root --ext-mount-map /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /sys:/sys --ext-mount-map /proc:/proc --ext-mount-map /dev:/dev --ext-mount-map /dev/hugepages:/dev/hugepages --ext-mount-map /dev/mqueue:/dev/mqueue --ext-mount-map /dev/pts:/dev/pts --ext-mount-map /dev/shm:/dev/shm --ext-mount-map /etc/group:/etc/group --ext-mount-map /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd --ext-mount-map /home/node2:/home/node2 --ext-mount-map /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc:/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc --ext-mount-map /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC:/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

So the correct restore command would looke something like this? criu restore -o restore.log -v4 -D ./ --shell-job --root /home/node2/container --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /etc/hostname:/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/etc --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/criu_checkpoints/criu_container_namespace/var For minimal purposes of course. There are still missing the other external mounts.

[adrianreber]

So the correct restore command would look something like this?

Does it work if you try it? :wink:

I am confused, but shouldn't you be using it during restore like this: --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf? I am only using it via --external so maybe the older --ext-mount-map has different semantics. Not sure.

I would say you should tell CRIU to mount exactly the same directories at the same location during restore. I would expect that --ext-mount-map is the same during checkpoint and restore in your case where the mountpoints in the container have exactly the same name as their external locations. If you actually want to mount the same directories and files as during checkpointing.

[Wosch96]

@adrianreber I tried your approach to set the ext-mount -map as before in dumping. First i shortended the dump command as some of the external mounts were not needed. criu dump -o dump.log -v4 -t 1268 -D ./ --shell-job --ext-mount-map /etc/group:/etc/group --ext-mount-map /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/var/tmp --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /home/node2:/home/node2 --ext-mount-map /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc:/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc --ext-mount-map /proc:/proc --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts --ext-mount-map /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC:/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC --ext-mount-map /dev/mqueue:/dev/mqueue --ext-mount-map /dev/hugepages:/dev/hugepages --ext-mount-map /dev/pts:/dev/pts --ext-mount-map /dev/shm:/dev/shm --ext-mount-map /dev:/dev

Then I used this restore command: strace -o strace.log -s 256 -f criu restore -o restore.log -v4 -D ./ --shell-job --root ./ --ext-mount-map /etc/group:/etc/group --ext-mount-map /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/var/tmp --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /home/node2:/home/node2 --ext-mount-map /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc:/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc --ext-mount-map /proc:/proc --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts --ext-mount-map /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC:/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC --ext-mount-map /dev/mqueue:/dev/mqueue --ext-mount-map /dev/hugepages:/dev/hugepages --ext-mount-map /dev/pts:/dev/pts --ext-mount-map /dev/shm:/dev/shm --ext-mount-map /dev:/dev I'm not sure with the root path. What should I use there? In this case the root path is /home/node2/container/criu_checkpoints. That's where i use the command. The container root path is /home/node2/container.

I'm getting this error in the strace: 1268 write(4, "(00.014934) 1268: mnt: \tMounting unsupported @/tmp/.criu.mntns.PvR0Tp/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC (0)\n", 112) = 112 1268 write(4, "(00.014952) 1268: mnt: \tBind /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC to /tmp/.criu.mntns.PvR0Tp/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC\n", 118) = 118 1268 mount("/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC", "/tmp/.criu.mntns.PvR0Tp/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC", NULL, MS_BIND, NULL) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I set this external mount, so I can't explain this to me.

[adrianreber]

Please show /proc/PID/mountinfo from one of the processes in the container.

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

is this the problem?

[adrianreber]

This is the PID from the process I want to checkpoint inside the container.

/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

is this the problem?

Could be. Try to mount /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin on /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC as it was done during checkpointing.

[Wosch96]

I used this command with restore: --ext-mount-map /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC:/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin

But still a problem: 1268 write(4, "(00.014159) 1268: mnt: \tBind /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin to /tmp/.criu.mntns.CND5wH/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC\n", 128) = 128 1268 mount("/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin", "/tmp/.criu.mntns.CND5wH/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC", NULL, MS_BIND, NULL) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 1268 write(4, "(00.014215) 1268: Error (criu/mount.c:2263): mnt: Can't mount at /tmp/.criu.mntns.CND5wH/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC: No such file or directory\n", 154) = 154 1268 statfs("/tmp/.criu.mntns.CND5wH/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC", 0x7ffe70c33b70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 1268 write(4, "(00.014257) 1268: Error (criu/mount.c:2518): mnt: Unable to statfs /tmp/.criu.mntns.CND5wH/9-0000000000/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC: No such file or directory\n", 156) = 156

[adrianreber]

This sounds like a problem I had to deal with a couple of times while integrating CRIU in container runtimes/engines.

Historically containter runtimes/engines always just create the destination mount point. In this case it sounds like /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC does not exist and it probably created automatically by singularity during container create/run.

During restore you have to do the same thing that is happening during create/run. If it is part of the container runtime/engine it can be solved. You now need to create /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC before CRIU is running. But if it is a nested mount point it might be tricky. Not sure if action-scripts can help here.

You probably need to handle the root directory of your container during checkpoint. It seems to be an overlay directory:

205 152 0:44 / / rw,nodev,relatime unbindable - overlay overlay ro,seclabel,lowerdir=/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/overlay-lowerdir:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/rootfs

Maybe you also need an --ext-mount-map for your root directory.

[Wosch96]

@adrianreber But in the container /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC already exists, as the container works in the user space. I call the CRIU dump after the container is setup and has the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC.

I don't understand the error why the folder /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC can't be found. It exists on the container and on my hostsystem.

What should I set as root directory in this case?

[adrianreber]

My current understanding is that CRIU tries to mount all external mounts as they were previously. It fails to mount /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC because the destination file usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC, relative to the container root, does not exist. You need to provide a root directory which has the mountpoint usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC. Right now I do not remember if this need --root or the correct entry for --ext-mount-map. I would try --root first. Do you have a usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC at the location you specify with --root?

[Wosch96]

Gave my root directory as root path. strace -o strace.log -s 256 -f criu restore -o restore.log -v4 -D ./ --shell-job --root / --ext-mount-map /etc/group:/etc/group --ext-mount-map /etc/passwd:/etc/passwd --ext-mount-map /etc/resolv.conf:/etc/resolv.conf --ext-mount-map /var/tmp:/var/tmp --ext-mount-map /tmp:/tmp --ext-mount-map /home/node2:/home/node2 --ext-mount-map /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc:/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc --ext-mount-map /proc:/proc --ext-mount-map /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts --ext-mount-map /dev/mqueue:/dev/mqueue --ext-mount-map /dev/hugepages:/dev/hugepages --ext-mount-map /dev/pts:/dev/pts --ext-mount-map /dev/shm:/dev/shm --ext-mount-map /dev:/dev --ext-mount-map /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime

Now another error appears. mount("sysfs", "/tmp/.criu.mntns.1Sf3Gw/9-0000000000/sys", "sysfs", MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_RELATIME, "seclabel") = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy) 1300 write(4, "(00.018182) 1300: Error (criu/mount.c:1979): mnt: Unable to mount sysfs /tmp/.criu.mntns.1Sf3Gw/9-0000000000/sys (id=198): Device or resource busy\n", 149) = 149 1300 write(4, "(00.018203) 1300: Error (criu/mount.c:2044): mnt: Can't mount at /tmp/.criu.mntns.1Sf3Gw/9-0000000000/sys: Device or resource busy\n", 133) = 133 1300 write(4, "(00.018221) 1300: mnt: Start with 0:/tmp/.criu.mntns.1Sf3Gw\n", 62) = 62 1300 umount2("/tmp/cr-tmpfs.JncB1G", MNT_DETACH) = 0

I don't know how to handle sysfs... any idea? also an external mapping?

I hope the is an end in sight.

[adrianreber]

Giving your hosts root as --root does not sound correct. EBUSY happens if there is already a /sys mounted, which is true if you use your host's --root. This sounds potentially dangerous.

From the original messages it seems like Singularity uses overlayfs for the root file system of the container. You should use that.

Anyway, as we told you in the beginning of this issue, you should try to include this into Singularity and not do it manually. Because now you need to recreate the steps that Singularity does to create the container's root file-system.

You can just use a random directory and copy the content from the overlayfs to that directory and use it as --root.

-D / looks wrong. You need to specify the directory where the checkpoint files are.

I tried another restore command with the overlay as the root directory and the external command: strace -o strace.log -s 256 -f criu restore -o restore.log -v4 -D ./ --shell-job --root /usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final --external mnt[/etc/group]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/etc --external mnt[/etc/passwd]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/etc --external mnt[/etc/resolv.conf]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/etc --external mnt[/var/tmp]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/var --external mnt[/tmp]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/tmp --external mnt[/home/node2]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/home --external mnt[/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/proc --external mnt[/proc]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/proc --external mnt[/etc/hosts]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/etc --external mnt[/dev/mqueue]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/dev --external mnt[/dev/hugepages]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/dev --external mnt[/dev/pts]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/dev --external mnt[/dev/shm]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/dev --external mnt[/dev]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/dev --external mnt[/etc/localtime]:/usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final/etc

Sry that -D ./ was there but I printed the wrong command.

I'm running again into the sysfs mnt problem.

Does /usr/local/var/singularity/mnt/session/final have a sys directory?

[Wosch96]

The creation of the sys folder fixed it. Now the hopefully last problem...

1278 mmap(NULL, 8520, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7fde08e0c000 1278 munmap(0x7fde08e0c000, 8520) = 0 1278 write(127, "(00.030746) 1278: Error (criu/files-reg.c:2104): File home/node2/container/matMult has bad mode 0100755 (expect 0100775)\n", 123) = 123 1278 write(127, "(00.030765) 1278: Error (criu/mem.c:1349): - Can't open vma\n", 63) = 63

The matMult is a compiled application.
