I'd be happy if you fixed the test script to not call list_nids before the modules are loaded.

Even so, the error message itself doesn't explain anything to the user who runs "lctl list_nids". I'm not suggesting the error should be removed, but rather that it should be improved to be actually useful to the user:

• include lctl list_nids: at the start, so the reader knows which command is failing
• expand the message for EINVAL to suggest that the lnet module is not loaded

[Amir Shehata (Inactive)]

yaml.sh:yml_node_info() gets called before the modules are loaded. in this function

for nw in $(lctl list_nids | grep -v @lo | cut -f 2 -d '@' | uniq); do

This doesn't look like it's something new. I'm not sure exactly how the test framework works to make a change there.

I would rather not remove the error when list_nids fails, because it's useful for debugging. prints out why it failed. I think it makes more sense not to call lctl list_nids from the test unless the modules are loaded first.

[Andreas Dilger]

I would suggest that IOC_LIBCFS_GET_NI error 22: Invalid argument is not a useful error to print if lctl list_nids failed, so that should be fixed up somehow.

Secondly, I don't see where lctl list_nids is being called, or I'd suggest to avoid calling it if that doesn't make sense. The only places I see it are in sk_nodemap_setup(), which is only called if $SK_S2S is set, and in host_nids_address() which is only sanity.sh::test_217 and not during mount that I can see.

Andreas, the reason for
IOC_LIBCFS_GET_NI error 22: Invalid argument
is because an lctl list_nids is being called before the modules are loaded

I've started hitting this after a recent update as well. We definitely shouldn't be printing "Error" on the console for something that happens during normal operation. I'm also seeing a new error during mount:

# sh sanity.sh
client: executing check_logdir /tmp/test_logs/1505452045
client: ../libcfs/libcfs/libcfs options: 'libcfs_panic_on_lbug=0'
Logging to shared log directory: /tmp/test_logs/1505452045
client: executing yml_node
IOC_LIBCFS_GET_NI error 22: Invalid argument

The mount itself continues fine, but as with the other error, we shouldn't be printing errors to the console/terminal during normal operations, as that tends to confuse users.

found a set of steps to reproduce without shutdown:

peer 2:
modprobe lnet
lnetctl lnet configure
lnetctl net add --net tcp --if eth0,eth1

peer1
modprobe lnet
lnetctl lnet configure
lnetctl net add --net tcp --if eth0,eth1
lnetctl discover 192.168.122.30@tcp # discover peer2
# in /var/log/messages

[Amir Shehata (Inactive)]

sure. I'll push in a patch.

[Bob Glossman (Inactive)]

Your explanation sounds quite plausible. I think it would be a very good idea to suppress such errors during shutdown. As it is it looks quite alarming and happens at least once on every shutdown, at least for me.

[Amir Shehata (Inactive)]

This could occur when there is a shutdown. Basically, there is a new mechanism now where events are pushed to the peers whenever there is a local network interface change. During shutdown, everything is being removed. So that's detected as a change. and some pushes might make it out. When an event is received for that push message the peer is looked up but because of the shutdown it would've been removed, and that error is printed out. We can probably suppress this error when LNet is shutting down. There are no other negative consequences indicated by this message.

[Amir Shehata (Inactive)]

I'll investigate.
