Hi Jean-Louis, Thanks for your patch. I hope next week, I will test and review this patch. Just a question, did you have a chance to test that this patch fix kernel crash? Best Regards, Konstantin Kostiuk.

Hi Konstantin, Thanks for your response. What I observed was when running CloudLinux is that with a /tmp on a loop device, is that the underlying fs was first freezed, and then the /tmp was getting a freeze call. But this was hanging, because it couldn't freeze as the underlying fs was already freezed. So the whole system became unresponsive expect if you send a unfreeze via sysrq. Build a qemu-ga with this patch included, and then it worked fine. Because it skips the bind mounts and therefor made sure that the loop device was first freezed and afterwards the underlying fs. Which works fine :) I did not see real kernel crashes, so that was not debugged/tested. Thanks Jean-Louis On 28/10/2024 11:57, Konstantin Kostiuk wrote: > Hi Jean-Louis, > > Thanks for your patch.

The filesystem list in build_fs_mount_list should skip bind mounts. This because we end up in locking situations when doing fsFreeze. Like mentioned in [1] and [2]. Next to that, the build_fs_mount_list call did a fallback via build_fs_mount_list_from_mtab if mountinfo did not exist. There it skipped bind mounts, but this is broken for newer OS. This as mounts does not return the path of the bind mount but the underlying dev/partition, so S_ISDIR will never return true in dev_major_minor call. This patch simply checks the existing devmajor:devminor tuple in the mounts, and if it already exists, this means we have the same devices mounted again, a bind mount. So skip this. Same approach is used in open-vm-tools [3].
