Solaris debug builds are failing tests that use the attach interface.
An IOException is reported when the java_pid file is not opened.
It appears that the attempt to attach is taking place too quickly.
This workaround will allow the open operation to be retried
after a short pause.
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~gadams/8210337/webrev/
Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8210337
Testing is in progress.

The problem reproduced pretty quickly.
I added a call to checkPermission and revealed the
"file not found" from the stat call when the IOException
was detected.

There has been some flakiness from the Solaris test machines today,
so I'll continue with the testing a bit longer.

Can you summarize how the attach handshaking is suppose to work? I'm
just wondering why the attacher would ever be looking for the file
before the attachee has created it. It seems a proper handshake would
prevent this. Maybe there's some sort of visibility issue where the
attachee has indeed created the file, but it is not immediately visible
to the attacher process.

The general attach sequence ...

src/jdk.attach/solaris/classes/sun/tools/attach/VirtualMachineImpl.java

the attacher creates an attach_pid file in a directory where the
attachee is runnning
issues a signal to the attacheee

loops waiting for the java_pid file to be created
default timeout is 10 seconds

src/hotspot/os/solaris/attachListener_solaris.cpp

attachee creates the java_pid file
listens til the attacher opens the door

...
Not sure when a bare IOException is thrown rather than the
more specific FileNotFoundException.

more specific FileNotFoundException.

The exception is shown in the bug report:

[java.io.IOException: Permission denied

at
jdk.attach/sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachineImpl.openDoor(VirtualMachineImpl.java:215)

at jdk.jcmd/sun.tools.jcmd.JCmd.main(JCmd.java:98)

And if you look at the native code the EPERM from open will cause
IOException to be thrown.

./jdk.attach/solaris/native/libattach/VirtualMachineImpl.c

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_sun_tools_attach_VirtualMachineImpl_open

{
jboolean isCopy;
const char* p = GetStringPlatformChars(env, path, &isCopy);
if (p == NULL) {
return 0;
} else {
int fd;
int err = 0;

fd = open(p, O_RDWR);
if (fd == -1) {
err = errno;
}

if (isCopy) {
JNU_ReleaseStringPlatformChars(env, path, p);
}

if (fd == -1) {
if (err == ENOENT) {
JNU_ThrowByName(env, "java/io/FileNotFoundException",
NULL);
} else {
char* msg = strdup(strerror(err));
JNU_ThrowIOException(env, msg);
if (msg != NULL) {

}

We should add the path to the exception message.

Thanks David. So if EPERM is the error and a retry 100ms later works, I
think that supports my hypothesis that the file is not quite fully
created. So Gary's fix is probably fine. The only other possible fix I
can think of that wouldn't require an explicit delay (or multiple
retries) is probably not worth the complexity. It would require that the
attachee create two files, and the attacher try to open the second file
first. When it either opens or returns EPERM, you know the first file
can safety be opened.

Minor correction: EPERM -> EACCES for Solaris

Hard to see how to get a transient EACCES when opening a file ... though
as it is really a door I guess there could be additional complexity.

First, let me retract the proposed change,
it is not the right solution to the problem originally
reported.

Second, as a bit of explanation consider the code fragments below.

The high level processing calls openDoor which is willing to retry
the operation as long as the error is flagged specifically
as a FileNotFoundException.

VirtualMachineImpl.java:72
VirtualMachineImpl.c:81

During my testing I had added a check VirtualMachineImpl.java:214
and when an IOException was detected made a call to checkPermissions
to get more detailed information about the IOException. The error
I saw was an ENOENT from the stat call. And not the detailed checks for
specific permissions issues (VirtualMachineImpl.c:143)

VirtualMachineImpl.c:118
VirtualMachineImpl.c:147

What I missed in the original proposed solution was a FileNotFoundException
extends IOException. That means my delay and retry just duplicates the
higher
level retry around the openDoor call.

Third, the original error message logged in the bug report :

java.io.IOException: Permission denied
at jdk.attach/sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachineImpl.open(Native Method)

had to have come from

VirtualMachineImpl.c:70
VirtualMachineImpl.c:84

which means the actual open call reported the file does exist
but the permissions do not allow the file to be accessed.
That also means the normal mechanism of removing leftover
java_pid files would not have cleaned up another user's
java_pid files.

Thanks David. So if EPERM is the error and a retry 100ms later
works, I think that supports my hypothesis that the file is
not quite fully created. So Gary's fix is probably fine. The
only other possible fix I can think of that wouldn't require
an explicit delay (or multiple retries) is probably not worth
the complexity. It would require that the attachee create two
files, and the attacher try to open the second file first.
When it either opens or returns EPERM, you know the first file
can safety be opened.

My delay and retry just duplicated the openDoor retry.
The normal processing of FileNotFoundException(ENOENT) is to retry
several times until the file is available.

But the original problem reported is a "Permission denied" (EACCESS or
EPERM).
Delay and retry will not resolve a permissions error.

Didn't the retry after 100ms delay work? If yes, why would it if the
problem is that a java_pid was not cleaned up?

The general attach sequence ...
src/jdk.attach/solaris/classes/sun/tools/attach/VirtualMachineImpl.java
the attacher creates an attach_pid file in a directory where
the attachee is runnning
issues a signal to the attacheee
loops waiting for the java_pid file to be created
default timeout is 10 seconds

So getting a FileNotFoundException while in this loop is OK, but
IOException is not.

attachee creates the java_pid file
listens til the attacher opens the door

I'm don't think this is related, but JDK-8199811 made a fix in
attachListener_solaris.cpp to make it wait up to 10 seconds for
initialization to complete before failing the enqueue.

First, let me retract the proposed change, 
it is not the right solution to the problem originally 
reported. 
 
Second, as a bit of explanation consider the code fragments
below. 
 
The high level processing calls openDoor which is willing to
retry 
the operation as long as the error is flagged specifically 
as a FileNotFoundException. 
 
VirtualMachineImpl.java:72 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:81 
 
During my testing I had added a check
VirtualMachineImpl.java:214 
and when an IOException was detected made a call to
checkPermissions 
to get more detailed information about the IOException. The
error 
I saw was an ENOENT from the stat call. And not the detailed
checks for 
specific permissions issues (VirtualMachineImpl.c:143) 
 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:118 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:147 
 
What I missed in the original proposed solution was a
FileNotFoundException 
extends IOException. That means my delay and retry just
duplicates the higher 
level retry around the openDoor call. 
 
Third, the original error message logged in the bug report :

Thanks David. So if EPERM is the error and a retry 100ms
later works, I think that supports my hypothesis that the
file is not quite fully created. So Gary's fix is probably
fine. The only other possible fix I can think of that
wouldn't require an explicit delay (or multiple retries)
is probably not worth the complexity. It would require
that the attachee create two files, and the attacher try
to open the second file first. When it either opens or
returns EPERM, you know the first file can safety be
opened.

My delay and retry did not fix the problem with permission denied.

When I was diagnosing the problem I instrumented the code
to catch an IOException and call checkPermission to get
more detail about the IOException. The error reported
from calling checkPermission was ENOENT (stat).

The code change I then proposed was catch the IOException,
delay, and retry the open. That fixed the problem of
ENOENT, but had nothing to do with "permission denied".

But I also thought you said the delay and retry fixed the problem. How
could fix the problem if it is just duplicating something that is
already in place?

Post by Gary Adams
My delay and retry just duplicated the openDoor retry.
The normal processing of FileNotFoundException(ENOENT) is to retry
several times until the file is available.
But the original problem reported is a "Permission denied" (EACCESS
or EPERM).
Delay and retry will not resolve a permissions error.

Didn't the retry after 100ms delay work? If yes, why would it if the
problem is that a java_pid was not cleaned up?

If there are no further suggestions on JDK-8210337,
I plan to close it out as cannot reproduce.

Similar bugs had been filed for the "Permission denied" error
from the openDoor request failure and each was attributed
to an infrastructure issue. e.g. another user with the same
pid left a temporary file that is blocking the current test
from attaching correctly.

First, let me retract the proposed change, 
it is not the right solution to the problem originally 
reported. 
 
Second, as a bit of explanation consider the code
fragments below. 
 
The high level processing calls openDoor which is
willing to retry 
the operation as long as the error is flagged
specifically 
as a FileNotFoundException. 
 
VirtualMachineImpl.java:72 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:81 
 
During my testing I had added a check
VirtualMachineImpl.java:214 
and when an IOException was detected made a call to
checkPermissions 
to get more detailed information about the IOException.
The error 
I saw was an ENOENT from the stat call. And not the
detailed checks for 
specific permissions issues (VirtualMachineImpl.c:143) 
 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:118 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:147 
 
What I missed in the original proposed solution was a
FileNotFoundException 
extends IOException. That means my delay and retry just

Thanks David. So if EPERM is the error and a retry
100ms later works, I think that supports my
hypothesis that the file is not quite fully created.
So Gary's fix is probably fine. The only other
possible fix I can think of that wouldn't require an
explicit delay (or multiple retries) is probably not
worth the complexity. It would require that the
attachee create two files, and the attacher try to
open the second file first. When it either opens or
returns EPERM, you know the first file can safety be
opened.

I'm just wondering why the attacher would
ever be looking for the file before the
attachee has created it. It seems a proper
handshake would prevent this. Maybe there's
some sort of visibility issue where the
attachee has indeed created the file, but it
is not immediately visible to the attacher
process.

There is recovery code that cleans up old attach files,
but a permission denied error would prevent the clean
up operation from taking place. We're looking at a case of
a file owned by another user as well as a pid recycling
and failed clean up situation.

Are you saying that the PID was recycled, so the issue is a test run
from long ago leaving behind the file? If so, I thought there was
something in the attach code that cleaned up these PID files that were
left behind. In general I would not count this as an infra issue. PID
files left behind are the fault of the JVM. Maybe there is something
wrong with the cleanup code on solaris, or maybe we don't clean up on
any platform, but cycle through PIDs a lot faster on solaris.
Chris

Post by Gary Adams
If there are no further suggestions on JDK-8210337,
I plan to close it out as cannot reproduce.
Similar bugs had been filed for the "Permission denied" error
from the openDoor request failure and each was attributed
to an infrastructure issue. e.g. another user with the same
pid left a temporary file that is blocking the current test
from attaching correctly.

But I also thought you said the delay and retry fixed the problem.
How could fix the problem if it is just duplicating something that
is already in place?
Chris

Post by Gary Adams
My delay and retry just duplicated the openDoor retry.
The normal processing of FileNotFoundException(ENOENT) is to retry
several times until the file is available.
But the original problem reported is a "Permission denied"
(EACCESS or EPERM).
Delay and retry will not resolve a permissions error.

Didn't the retry after 100ms delay work? If yes, why would it if
the problem is that a java_pid was not cleaned up?
Chris

Post by Gary Adams
First, let me retract the proposed change,
it is not the right solution to the problem originally
reported.
Second, as a bit of explanation consider the code fragments below.
The high level processing calls openDoor which is willing to retry
the operation as long as the error is flagged specifically
as a FileNotFoundException.
Â VirtualMachineImpl.java:72
Â VirtualMachineImpl.c:81
During my testing I had added a check VirtualMachineImpl.java:214
and when an IOException was detected made a call to checkPermissions
to get more detailed information about the IOException. The error
I saw was an ENOENT from the stat call. And not the detailed checks for
specific permissions issues (VirtualMachineImpl.c:143)
Â Â VirtualMachineImpl.c:118
Â Â VirtualMachineImpl.c:147
What I missed in the original proposed solution was a
FileNotFoundException
extends IOException. That means my delay and retry just
duplicates the higher
level retry around the openDoor call.
java.io.IOException: Permission denied
at jdk.attach/sun.tools.attach.VirtualMachineImpl.open(Native Method)
had to have come from
Â VirtualMachineImpl.c:70
Â VirtualMachineImpl.c:84
which means the actual open call reported the file does exist
but the permissions do not allow the file to be accessed.
That also means the normal mechanism of removing leftover
java_pid files would not have cleaned up another user's
java_pid files.

Minor correction: EPERM -> EACCES for Solaris
Hard to see how to get a transient EACCES when opening a file
... though as it is really a door I guess there could be
additional complexity.

The general attach sequence ...
src/jdk.attach/solaris/classes/sun/tools/attach/VirtualMachineImpl.java
Â the attacher creates an attach_pid file in a directory
where the attachee is runnning
Â issues a signal to the attacheee
Â loops waiting for the java_pid file to be created
Â default timeout is 10 seconds

So getting a FileNotFoundException while in this loop is OK,
but IOException is not.

Post by g***@oracle.com
src/hotspot/os/solaris/attachListener_solaris.cpp
Â Â attachee creates the java_pid file
Â Â listens til the attacher opens the door

I'm don't think this is related, but JDK-8199811 made a fix
in attachListener_solaris.cpp to make it wait up to 10
seconds for initialization to complete before failing the
enqueue.

Not sure when a bare IOException is thrown rather than the
more specific FileNotFoundException.

Where is the IOException originating from? I wonder if the
issue is that the file is in the process of being created,
but is not fully created yet. Maybe it is there, but
owner/group/permissions have not been set yet, and this
results in an IOException instead of FileNotFoundException.

cause IOException to be thrown.

We should add the path to the exception message.

Thanks David. So if EPERM is the error and a retry 100ms later
works, I think that supports my hypothesis that the file is
not quite fully created. So Gary's fix is probably fine. The
only other possible fix I can think of that wouldn't require
an explicit delay (or multiple retries) is probably not worth
the complexity. It would require that the attachee create two
files, and the attacher try to open the second file first.
When it either opens or returns EPERM, you know the first file
can safety be opened.

Can you summarize how the attach handshaking is suppose to
work? I'm just wondering why the attacher would ever be
looking for the file before the attachee has created it.
It seems a proper handshake would prevent this. Maybe
there's some sort of visibility issue where the attachee
has indeed created the file, but it is not immediately
visible to the attacher process.
Chris

Post by g***@oracle.com
The problem reproduced pretty quickly.
I added a call to checkPermission and revealed the
"file not found" from the stat call when the IOException
was detected.
There has been some flakiness from the Solaris test
machines today,
so I'll continue with the testing a bit longer.

Post by Chris Plummer
Without the fix was this issue easy enough to reproduce
that you can be sure this is resolving it?
Chris

Post by Gary Adams
Solaris debug builds are failing tests that use the
attach interface.
An IOException is reported when the java_pid file is
not opened.
It appears that the attempt to attach is taking place
too quickly.
This workaround will allow the open operation to be retried
after a short pause.

attach code that cleaned up these PID files that were left

PID files left behind are the fault of the JVM. Maybe there is
something wrong with the cleanup code on solaris, or maybe we
don't clean up on any platform, but cycle through PIDs a lot
faster on solaris.

If there are no further suggestions on JDK-8210337,

Similar bugs had been filed for the "Permission denied" error 
from the openDoor request failure and each was attributed 
to an infrastructure issue. e.g. another user with the same 
pid left a temporary file that is blocking the current test 
from attaching correctly.

My delay and retry did not fix the problem with permission
denied. 
 
When I was diagnosing the problem I instrumented the code 
to catch an IOException and call checkPermission to get 
more detail about the IOException. The error reported 
from calling checkPermission was ENOENT (stat). 
 
The code change I then proposed was catch the IOException, 
delay, and retry the open. That fixed the problem of 
ENOENT, but had nothing to do with "permission denied".

My delay and retry just duplicated the openDoor retry. 
The normal processing of FileNotFoundException(ENOENT)
is to retry 
several times until the file is available. 
 
But the original problem reported is a "Permission
denied" (EACCESS or EPERM). 
Delay and retry will not resolve a permissions error.

First, let me retract the proposed change, 
it is not the right solution to the problem
originally 
reported. 
 
Second, as a bit of explanation consider the code
fragments below. 
 
The high level processing calls openDoor which is
willing to retry 
the operation as long as the error is flagged
specifically 
as a FileNotFoundException. 
 
VirtualMachineImpl.java:72 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:81 
 
During my testing I had added a check
VirtualMachineImpl.java:214 
and when an IOException was detected made a call to
checkPermissions 
to get more detailed information about the
IOException. The error 
I saw was an ENOENT from the stat call. And not the
detailed checks for 
specific permissions issues
(VirtualMachineImpl.c:143) 
 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:118 
VirtualMachineImpl.c:147 
 
What I missed in the original proposed solution was
a FileNotFoundException 
extends IOException. That means my delay and retry
just duplicates the higher 
level retry around the openDoor call. 
 
Third, the original error message logged in the bug
report :

Thanks David. So if EPERM is the error and a
retry 100ms later works, I think that supports
my hypothesis that the file is not quite fully
created. So Gary's fix is probably fine. The
only other possible fix I can think of that
wouldn't require an explicit delay (or multiple
retries) is probably not worth the complexity.
It would require that the attachee create two
files, and the attacher try to open the second
file first. When it either opens or returns
EPERM, you know the first file can safety be
opened.

Different ipc mechanisms are used on each target platform
solaris - doors
linux - unix domain sockets
windows - named pipes

Solaris machines have a tendency to run for years without a need to reboot.

I have not examined the actual test machine where the original problem
was reported, but I was informed once about hundreds of leftover temp files
on another of the test machines.

The files could have accumulated over time from jprt or mach5 infrastructure
transitions. The collision on pid reuse alone would make this an extremely
rare event.

If the "Permission denied" issue appears again, we should get a dump of
the temp directory from the failed machine.

Ok. Any idea what might have led to that PID to be created by another
user? Isn't all our testing done using the same userid? Also, why is
this only a solaris problem?
Chris

Post by g***@oracle.com
There is recovery code that cleans up old attach files,
but a permission denied error would prevent the clean
up operation from taking place. We're looking at a case of
a file owned by another user as well as a pid recycling
and failed clean up situation.

Are you saying that the PID was recycled, so the issue is a test run
from long ago leaving behind the file? If so, I thought there was
something in the attach code that cleaned up these PID files that
were left behind. In general I would not count this as an infra
issue. PID files left behind are the fault of the JVM. Maybe there
is something wrong with the cleanup code on solaris, or maybe we
don't clean up on any platform, but cycle through PIDs a lot faster
on solaris.
Chris

But I also thought you said the delay and retry fixed the
problem. How could fix the problem if it is just duplicating
something that is already in place?
Chris

Post by Gary Adams
My delay and retry just duplicated the openDoor retry.
The normal processing of FileNotFoundException(ENOENT) is to retry
several times until the file is available.
But the original problem reported is a "Permission denied"
(EACCESS or EPERM).
Delay and retry will not resolve a permissions error.

Didn't the retry after 100ms delay work? If yes, why would it
if the problem is that a java_pid was not cleaned up?

Chris,

The general attach sequence ...
src/jdk.attach/solaris/classes/sun/tools/attach/VirtualMachineImpl.java
the attacher creates an attach_pid file in a directory
where the attachee is runnning
issues a signal to the attacheee
loops waiting for the java_pid file to be created
default timeout is 10 seconds

So getting a FileNotFoundException while in this loop is
OK, but IOException is not.

Can you summarize how the attach handshaking is suppose
to work? I'm just wondering why the attacher would ever
be looking for the file before the attachee has created
it. It seems a proper handshake would prevent this.
Maybe there's some sort of visibility issue where the
attachee has indeed created the file, but it is not
