According to your dmesg s2disk is stuck in balance_dirty_pages():

but I don't see a flusher thread anywhere.
What the bisected change does is allow the effective dirty threshold
to drop fairly low, because anonymous pages are no longer considered
dirtyable, and your usecase has particularly low free + cache pages:
[ 196.375988] active_anon:328150 inactive_anon:118571 isolated_anon:0
[ 196.375988] active_file:1658 inactive_file:1823 isolated_file:0
[ 196.375988] unevictable:867 dirty:616 writeback:0 unstable:0
[ 196.375988] free:32320 slab_reclaimable:5129 slab_unreclaimable:5080
[ 196.375988] mapped:2684 shmem:424844 pagetables:1528 bounce:0
[ 196.375988] free_cma:0
Ignoring free pages due to dirty_balance_reserve, inactive+active file
yields 3481 dirtyable pages, which sets the global limits to 174 pages
background and 348 pages foreground with the default configuration.
It's low, but not 0. So why is the dirtier throttled to starvation
when the background flusher is not even running? Shouldn't they be
looking at the same numbers and behave inversely?
I'll dive into the writeback and throttling code, but also Ccing
Maxim, Jan, and Fengguang. Maybe they have a faster answer.
Thanks for the report!

Shouldn't they be looking at the same numbers and > behave inversely? These days there isn't a background flusher thread but a workqueue which handles the flushing work. But still you should see that in a process list like "flush-$dev". Can you check whether balance_dirty_pages() properly calls bdi_start_background_writeback() and whether wb_do_writeback() gets to run (there are tracepoints in there)? Also can you have a look in /sys/kernel/debug/bdi/<dev>/stats? What is the estimated bandwith?

However, I'm running Ubuntu 14.10 (32 bit) with the default kernel 3.13.0-24, not 3.14. My machine is an Asus eeePC 1000HE with 2GB RAM and a 2GB swap partition. I recently replaced the hard disk by a Samsung SSD 840 EVO. I can reproduce the hang by first starting a couple of large applications: gimp, google-chrome and firefox and then running pm-hibernate. The system hangs after: s2disk: Snapshotting system s2disk: System snapshot ready.

I checked the source code of the Ubuntu kernel (linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic), and the Ubuntu modifications indeed include commit a1c3bfb2 from the 3.14 kernel. Rebuilding the Ubuntu kernel with commit a1c3bf reversed fixes this issue for me as well. On Tue, May 06, 2014 at 01:45:01AM +0200, Rafael J.

Can we patch suspend-utils as follows? Alternatively, suspend-utils could clear the dirty limits before it starts writing and restore them post-resume. --- From 73d6546d5e264130e3d108c97d8317f86dc11149 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:43:05 -0400 Subject: [patch] s2disk: fix buffered IO throttling deadlock in frozen state s2disk uses buffered IO when writing the snapshot image to disk. If it runs into the dirty limits, the kernel forces it to wait until the flusher threads clean some of the dirty pages. However, at this point s2disk already froze the system, including the flusher infrastructure, and the whole operation deadlocks. Open the resume device with O_SYNC to force flushing any dirty pages directly from the write() context before they accumulate and engage dirty throttling.

But it's still a deadlock that can't reasonably be accommodated from dirty throttling. It can't just put the flushers to sleep and then issue a large amount of buffered IO, hoping it doesn't hit the dirty limits. Don't shoot the messenger, this bug needs to be addressed, not get papered over. > >Can we patch suspend-utils as follows? > > Perhaps we can.

It's userspace that freezes the system before issuing buffered IO, so my conclusion was that the bug is in there. This is arguable. I also wouldn't be opposed to a patch that sets the dirty limits to infinity from the ioctl that freezes the system or creates the image. Created attachment 183141 [details]
suspend-utils: set vm/dirty_bytes before hibernation
I ran into this bug myself, given it was from 2014 I wrote a patch.
I hope I understood the issue correctly, as I'm quite new to this stuff.
Basically sets and remembers /proc/sys/vm/dirty_[ratio|bytes]. And sets bytes to void*(-1).

I found the relevant package, it's in uswsusp-1.0 where s2disk is located. I manually applied the patch and tried it last night on the hope that it would work but it hanged again. It hangs usually if used memory takes over 40% of the RAM. By the way I ran pm-hibernate to put it to hibernation. Shall I try it with s2disk ? Does it mind? Has this one been solved already? Asking because I've encountered something similar during tests (kernel 4.9.20): "s2both: Saving 1474608 image data pages (press backspace to abort) ... 68%" And there it stalled. Reset necessary. 1474608 pages is close to the max for that box (max_size = 1510475 pages). So I'm wondering whether failure could have been due to this bug or just to overload. Could this be related to "early writeout = y" in etc/suspend.conf? The comment there says: ## start writing out the image early, before buffers are full. ## will most of the time speed up overall writing time (default y) After "early writeout = n", I couldn't reproduce the bug any more so far, despite quite high memory-load. But I haven't tested it thoroughly. Speedwise I couldn't see a major difference, if any. So, for those affected it may be worth a try.

I don't think it has something to do with `"early writeout = y" in etc/suspend.conf`. I did a clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04 with 4.4.0-21 kernel and it suspends and hibenates well.

On my system this bug is a rare event and only occurred when I was doing tests with extremely high memory-load - close to what s2disk can handle. I've never seen it in normal cases. Now - if this bug generally only occurs when s2disk is near its limit (true for my system but induction of course) and buffering may have something to do with it (as far as I understand Comment 13) *and* "early writeout" has something to do with buffering then switching it off may be worth a try. And see what happens. If it still occurs we at least know that "early writeout" is not to blame.

Wow! Here I am to revive this topic in 2019! I have exactly the same problem, on ubuntu 18.04.2 with basically all kernels since 4.15.0-42 up to 5, which was all I tested, currently on 4.18.0-17-generic... I guess this has nothing to do with the kernel anyway. It was working fine before, even with proprietary nvidia drivers which would generally cause a bug on the resume and not while saving the ram snapshot. I've been trying to tell this to the ubuntu guys and you can see my whole story with this problem right here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1819915 Shortly, I tried with or without nvidia modules enabled (or intel or using nouveau), many different kernels, disabled i915, and this is all get in all those different combinations: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/417327528/i915.jpg The event is pretty random and seems to be more likely to happen after 2 or 4 gb of ram is ever used (I have 16 in total), and nothing changes if later I reduce the ram usage later. But is random, I successfully hibernated with 11gb in use yesterday, just resumed and hibernated 5 seconds later without doing nothing else than running hibernate, and got freeze there. This also happens randomly if there's just 3 or 2 gb in use, likely on the second attempt of after more than 5 minutes after the computer is on. What can be wrong here?

Five years have passed and people are still hitting this. Killian described the workaround in comment 14 at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75101. People can use this workaround manually by hand or in scripts. But we really should find a proper solution. Maybe special-case the freezing of the flusher threads until all the writeout has completed. Or something else. Created attachment 282103 [details] attachment-1247-0.html Wow!

I've refreshed my memory wrt this bug and I believe the bug is really on the side of suspend-utils (uswsusp or however it is called). They are low level system tools, they ask the kernel to freeze all processes (SNAPSHOT_FREEZE ioctl), and then they rely on buffered writeback (which is relatively heavyweight infrastructure) to work. That is wrong in my opinion. I can see Johanness was suggesting in comment 11 to use O_SYNC in suspend-utils which worked but was too slow. Indeed O_SYNC is rather big hammer but using O_DIRECT should be what they need and get better performance - no additional buffering in the kernel, no dirty throttling, etc. They only need their buffer & device offsets sector aligned - they seem to be even page aligned in suspend-utils so they should be fine. And if the performance still sucks (currently they appear to do mostly random 4k writes so it probably would for rotating disks), they could use AIO DIO to get multiple pages in flight (as many as they dare to allocate buffers) and then the IO scheduler will reorder things as good as it can and they should get reasonable performance. Is there someone who works on suspend-utils these days? Because the repo I've found on kernel.org seems to be long dead (last commit in 2012). Honza Yes I can sorta confirm the bug is in uswsusp. I removed the package and pm-utils and used both "systemctl hibernate" and "echo disk >> /sys/power/state" to hibernate. It seems to succeed and shuts down, I am just not able to resume from it, which seems to be a classical problem solved just by setting the resume swap file/partition on grub. (which i tried and didn't work even with nvidia disabled) Anyway uswsusp is still necessary because the default kernel hibernation doesn't work with the proprietary nvidia drivers as long as I know and tested. Is there anyway I could get any workaround to this bug on my current OS by the way?

boot-sequence
Created attachment 282117 [details] boot-sequence Okay I found a way to get it working and there was also a huge mistake on my last boot-config, the resume was commented :P I basically followed this: https://askubuntu.com/a/1064114 but changed to: resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/70d967e6-ad52-4c21-baf0-01a813ccc6ac (just the uuid wouldnt work) and this is probably the most important thing to do.it worked! I also set the resume variable in initramfs to my swap partition but this might nor be so important anyway since it's automatically detected. I tested both systemctl hibernate and pm-hibernate, i guess they call the same thing anyway. I attached a screenshot. Seems to be working fine without uswsusp and with nvidia proprietary drivers!

That's good - although a bit contrary to what you said in > Comment 29: > I was told so, long time ago struggling to get nvidia prop to resume from hibernation, I found out that uswsusp was better for it (googling or on irc), and it indeed worked better, or with less effort at least, back then.

You also said that it worked > "flawlessly" for yo Yes! It worked pretty good on version 18.04.1 of ubuntu with kernel 4.15.0-42 and 41 using uswsusp. There was a long problem with nvidia props that wouldn't let the system resume, but this was fixed when I upgraded to the latest version of the 415 nvidia driver. I kept like one month just hibernating to switch to windows and coming back to the restored snapshot of linux. You can check my apt history here: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/415602746/aptHistory.log. At the Start-Date: 2019-02-02 15:40:45, I'm 100% sure it was perfect. I am 100% sure that it wasn't already working anymore having the s2disk freeze issue at Start-Date: 2019-03-05 10:38:4. uswsusp also worked fine on ubuntu 16.04, but I dont remember the kernel versions. Now I'm currently with the nvidia 418.56, ubuntu 18.04.2, kernel 4.18.0-17-generic and hibernation with pm-utils works. I haven't found any major problem with it besides failing to suspend to ram yesterday, which I don't know if is related to it or not, but today I tested it after and before hibernation and seems to be ok. > So I'm wondering whether used-up swap space might play a role in this > matter, too.

And when I look at the screenshot you provided in Comment > 27 (https://launchpadlibrarian.net/417327528/i915.jpg), sparse > swap-space could have been a factor in that case as well. Because > roughly 3.5 GB free swap-space doesn't seem much for a 16-GB-RAM box. On my many tests with uswsusp and a 16gb swap partition and 16 gb of ram, I noticed that it would be less likely to fail when less than something about 2 gb of ram, like just after boot up, it would though after the 3rd or 4th followed hibernation cycle. If after the boot up I allocate more than that value if would be much more likely to happen like always on the 2nd attempt, and if more than around 6gb would fail on the first attempt. Those aren't sure values, sometimes it failed regardless of ram usage, specially on my latest tests. also once it hibernated with more than 11gb ram usage and failed on the second attempt. So this is all happening pretty randomly. What I described above is just most of the cases and maybe this is just random anyway. |
