Hi Danny,

Here are some small remarks,

Toggle quote (4 lines)

You can use "when" to avoid "begin".

Toggle quote (3 lines)

Prefer match to car/cdr use.

Toggle quote (9 lines)

(format #t "VERSION" ~a~%" version) would be shorter.

Toggle quote (2 lines)

Why is this commented ?

Toggle quote (5 lines)

Hi Mathieu,

thanks for the review.

Because it's an option for specifying the location of "Module.symvers" - and
I don't know whether guix uses it (probably not). If one doesn't specify an
option, depmod will default to the running kernel - which is not what we want.

I should elaborate in the comment that, if we start using Module.symvers, we
MUST pass "-E" there. Maybe better to even just check for the file existence
and add it right now, otherwise we might forget later. What do you think?

Reading 'depmod' manpage, I understand that -E and -F are mutually
exclusive. Both options seem to have an interest only if -e is supplied
to "reports any symbols which a module needs which are not supplied by
other modules or the kernel".

So maybe something like "-F (string-append #$linux "/System.map") -e"
would make more sense ?

Probably better to be more careful that devname is set early enough.

Nitpick: align like this:

(filter-map first
second)

when the first arg spans several lines.

We could reuse modules.alias and modules.devname from the ‘linux-libre’
package (right?), but I guess it doesn’t hurt to generate custom ones.

I think we need different procedures here:

(write-module-alias-database modules port) ;for “modules.alias”
(write-module-device-database modules port) ;for “modules.devname”

with docstrings.

I’m not sure we need ‘install-module-files’ itself. Perhaps we can
inline it at the call site?

For the devname code, please avoid ‘set!’. Instead you can thread the
current devname as the state of a loop:

(let loop ((devname #f)
(aliases aliases))
(match aliases
(() …)
(((? devname-alias? devname) . rest)
(loop devname rest))
…))
The indentation of ‘match’ forms is wrong. Would it be OK for you to
pass it through ./etc/indent-code.el? (It’s non interactive, you don’t
need to actually use Emacs.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.

If we change ‘flat-linux-module-directory’ to produce a ‘modules.alias’
file, here we could read ‘modules.aliases’ directly and load the right
thing.

With the patch below, we get ‘needed-modules’, and we could simply do:

(for-each (catch-ENOENT load-linux-module*)
(needed-modules
(known-module-aliases (string-append linux-module-directory
"/modules.alias"))))

and we can do away with kmod’s modprobe.

Thoughts?

It's not kmod's modprobe anymore. It's our pure-Guile implementation.

Linux lazy-invokes modprobe (for example when mounting stuff), so
/sbin/modprobe is never going away - but it can be our implementation.

I doubt it will take the modules from the correct directory with your patch.
(Of course otherwise it looks much nicer - but I think it won't pass the tests)

My newest version (v9) will use the same procedure for both computing the list
of modules for flat-linux-module-directory and the list of modules that are to
be modprobed - I think it's nice to be able to keep those in sync so we don't

Ah, your attached patch is fine, just the proposed usage

(for-each (catch-ENOENT load-linux-module*)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(needed-modules
(known-module-aliases (string-append linux-module-directory
"/modules.alias"))))

is probably not working.

Hi Ludo,

I've been thinking about it some more - I think it can be made to work "your" way.

I'm trying to integrate it right now.

But! The module-aliases->module-file-names way I've been pursuing (which also
returns the recursive dependencies) has the advantage of using exactly the same
procedure for both flat-linux-module-directory (which copies files) and for
our modprobe (which loads them later).

This means that it's very likely these two will match.

But if load-linux-module* recursively loads modules on its own it's easily
possible that these will diverge - what flat-linux-module-directory is doing
could (accidentially) differ in the future.

Maybe that's overly defensive programming. What do you think?

My flat-linux-module-directory basically just returns a subset of the directory
tree it gets as parameter (and flattens it for no reason).

Also, I've been trying to use find-files for /sys before, like you do.
It doesn't work correctly - probably because of the mutation that modprobe does
(find-files sorts - not sure whether that's the whole story).

Integration tests just finished - even the basic system test fails because of it
now.

I tried only this:

(define (load-kernel-modules)
"Examine /sys/devices to find out which modules to load and load them."
- (define enter?
- (const #t))
- (define (down! directory stat result)
- ;; Note: modprobe mutates the tree starting with DIRECTORY.
- (let ((modalias-name (string-append directory "/modalias")))
- (if (file-exists? modalias-name)
- (let ((modalias
- (string-trim-right (call-with-input-file modalias-name
- read-string)
- #\newline)))
- (system* "/sbin/modprobe" "-q" "--" modalias))))
- #t)
- (define up
- (const #t))
- (define skip
- (const #t))
- (define leaf
- (const #t))
- (define (error name stat errno result)
- (format (current-error-port) "warning: ~a: ~a~%"
- name (strerror errno))
- result)
- (file-system-fold enter? leaf down! up skip error #t "/sys/devices"))
+ (for-each (lambda (modalias)
+ (system* "/sbin/modprobe" "-q" "--" modalias))
+ (system-device-aliases)))

Doesn't work anymore...

ERROR: In procedure network-interface-flags:
In procedure network-interface-flags: No such device

(I've exported system-device-aliases)

I'd prefer "install-" because their interface is somewhat like install-file
(caller provides output directory and callee adds "modules."* automatically).

But I used the names "write-module-"* in the patchset v9.

Sure. Did so now.

I found an even better way to avoid both.

I'm actually trying to switch to emacs but when I press Tab it messes up
the stuff more. Is there some kind of configuration for guile indentation?

Also, every time I open gnu/build/linux-modules.scm I get

"The local variables list .. may not be safe

Yes, but it would be somewhat dirty. Here's why:

Linux-libre contains a superset of modules and also their modules.alias
and modules.devname contain a superset of modules compared to the initrd.

That means

(1) modules.alias would contain aliases which map to modules which
don't exist. Since we don't for-each it, who cares.

(2) modules.devname would contain devnames for modules which don't
exist. That means the boot code would create files in /dev which,
when someone accesses them, would try to load modules which don't
exist - and then the access would fail.

Technically both are not bad, but (2) is bad "UX" practise nowadays - and
not done in the Linux world any more since udev exists.

I can still remember the days of 8540 entries static /dev filesystem (as in,
really on the hard disk), 7000 of which didn't work (or even valid for this
system type :P).

If something goes wrong, good luck finding the needle in the haystack
(which /dev file you can use to boot).

Hello!

I’ve reworked this patch series a bit, but now I’m stuck on this:

Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org> skribis:

When than happens, our modprobe gets called with the “netdev-eth0”
alias, which it cannot handle, leading to this error.

By explicitly loading “virtio_net” and sleeping a bit, we get past that
point, but fail later on:

Here the nls_iso8859-1 module doesn’t get loaded and modprobe isn’t even
invoked, although my understanding is that it should (per ‘load_nls’ in
nls_base.c in the kernel, called from vfat/inode.c).

Similarly, it seems that virtio_blk has to be loaded explicitly: is not
reported by ‘needed-modules’ (i.e., not listed in /sys/…/modalias), nor
do we get a modprobe query for it.

All in all on-demand loading seems more complicated that it seemed.

What are we missing here?

As I said, modprobe mutates /sys - you cannot use find-files. I haven't used
ftw just to be contrarian. There's even a warning comment :-)

In order to find that out, try to print how /sys looked before modprobe - then
in the early guile recovery REPL print how /sys looks again - the alias it
was juuust complaining about will be there just fine.

My patch series works fine lazy-loading the IO charset, virtio_blk, virtio_net.

It took about 30 h to work out the correct minimal combination - just saying :-)

qemu seems to have a bug that it doesn't assign pci ids properly.

Patch v9 6/7 works around it by fixing the virtio-blk-pci address.

Yeah, that was an evil problem. There are two different ways linux-boot
can boot:
* Either it loads a full system in which case /run/booted-system will
contain kernel module files which can and will be loaded
* Or it loads a "--load" file only - in which case there's no system
modprobe, but switch-root just switched our pure-Guile modprobe away,
so now we are out of modprobes :)

Would make sense to also support "-a" (used when invoking modprobe to load multiple
kernel modules at once).

I did see this comment, and I don’t doubt you’re acting in good faith!

It wasn’t clear to me what “modprobe mutates /sys” meant, and I guess I
didn’t think it could lead to not seeing relevant “modalias” files. Now
I’ve experienced first-hand that it does matter. :-)

Toggle quote (2 lines)

Yeah I can imagine (and it would have taken me much longer I guess.)

While reviewing this series I realized I didn’t understand everything,
as in the example above, some things seemed unnecessary, and I thought
we could improve the style of a few things.

The patches that follow build upon your work with a few changes:

• The “modules.alias” writer style is made more idiomatic and
hopefully simpler.

• The “modules.devname” writer is actually unnecessary. I changed it
to a more functional style and with smaller functions. It’s the
last patch of this series; it’s completely optional since we don’t
use it currently, but we might want to keep it around for later.

• The pure-Scheme modprobe uses SRFI-37 instead of (ice-9
getopt-long), as in the rest of the code base.

• /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe is set in ‘boot-system’ directly, so that
we don’t have to special-case the “modprobe” closure in
‘build-initrd’.

• ‘module-aliases->module-file-names’ is gone. Instead there’s
‘load-needed-linux-modules’, similar to the ‘load-kernel-modules’
you had, but a bit simpler.

• I added comments here and there, especially about the
virtio-blk-pci, which was far from obvious. :-)

I didn’t add the ‘needed-modules’ and ‘system-device-aliases’ procedures
I posted earlier because we don’t need them currently. If you think
they could be useful, we can always add them.

The following command succeeds:

make check-system TESTS="basic installed-os iso-image-installer"

WDYT?


I realize that makes for a not-so-efficient review process, though I
think the result is worth it. I’m open to suggestions though.

Overall, these changes are mostly about (1) making self-contained
commits, (2) commenting code, and (3) coding style. About #3, I think
the guidelines I applied were:

1. Avoid imperative style. When we do need side effects, try hard to
move them separately.

2. Keep functions short.

3. Decompose functions in a way that allows them to be combined
“nicely”.

Some of that is a bit subjective, but overall we should be able to
converge.

Thanks for the great work, and sorry for the back-and-forth and delays!

Ludo’.

I suppose we can do that later because the kernel doesn’t use it in
‘call_modprobe’ and this thing is only ever invoked by the kernel.

Sure.

I just wanted to comment because I noticed that kmod's

modprobe a b c

doesn't load three modules a, b, c. But my v9's pure-Guile modprobe was
implemented in a way that it did load three modules a, b, c - which it
definitely shouldn't be doing.

There's a race because Linux could just start loading modules
immediately before boot-system even starts / executed far enough.

That was why earlier I kept /sbin/modprobe as the name (it's the
default Linux uses) and made sure that the file /sbin/modprobe is already
in the initrd (as opposed to created by boot-system).

The race didn't happen to me yet (and I doubt that Linux has modules
fine-grained enough that that's a problem in practise) - but I would prefer
it not to be possible.

WDYT?

Without "-a", it's not supposed to be a list of aliases. It's supposed to be
one alias and the remainder are parameters supposed to be passed to that
kernel module.

(I didn't know that before).

When Linux invokes /sbin/modprobe, it doesn't pass "-a" but it doesn't
pass any module parameters either - it just passes one module alias.

For clarity and in order that we don't have weird problems later (trying to
load a module named "verbose=1" or something :) ), let's just accept one alias
for now.

Hmm, logging is nice!

But with /dev/kmsg one write(2) syscall needs to pass the entire message.

What do you think about additionally calling setvbuf with 1024 ? Because:

kernel/printk/printk.c: #define LOG_LINE_MAX (1024 - PREFIX_MAX)

Toggle quote (3 lines)

The original modprobe loads as many modules as it can and possibly sets an
(always the same) error flag (and continues loading the other modules).

Then modprobe's exit status is that error flag.

This is moot because we shouldn't accept more than one alias - see above.

Toggle quote (2 lines)

One of the devnames created statically is the one for btrfs, so not writing or
using devnames is not going to end well.

If it did work without it I'd be even more on guard :)

(I'd also copy the modules.builtin (from Linux).
Also, what happens if we load a module which has as dependency a builtin?
Will we try to load the builtin as a .ko file and fail the entire thing?)

Yeah I’d think that whitespace is non-significant in these files, but in

Note: The simplest change would be to keep this patch as-is but add

;; Make sure that Linux can modprobe even before boot-system started up.
(when modprobe
(mkdir-p "sbin")
(symlink modprobe "sbin/modprobe")
(compile-to-cache "sbin/modprobe")) ; Note: without this line booting is dead slow. [Maybe in this case that wouldn't be so bad - since boot-system switches away immediately anyway :)]

You’re right, I wondered what would happen. I’ve restored the
/sbin/modprobe symlink in v11.

We’re fine because btrfs, 9p, overlay, etc. all have an “fs-btrfs”,
“fs-9p”, etc. alias, which shows up in “modules.alias”. No need for
“modules.devname” AFAICS.

The dependency of a builtin is necessarily a builtin, and the kernel
won’t invoke modprobe for a builtin, will it? IOW, I think there’s no
problem here. :-)

[PATCH v11 5/6] linux-initrd: Provide our own 'modprobe' program.
(address . 30604@debbugs.gnu.org)(name . Danny Milosavljevic)(address . dannym@scratchpost.org)
20180312221541.1886-5-ludo@gnu.org
From: Danny Milosavljevic <dannym@scratchpost.org>

This allows us to load modules on demand when the kernel asks for them.

* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (modprobe-program): New variable.
(flat-linux-module-directory): Call 'write-module-alias-database'.
(raw-initrd): Pass #:modprobe to 'boot-system' and to 'expression->initrd'.
(expression->initrd): Copy "closure" to $out/references. Add #:modprobe
and pass it to 'build-initrd'.
* gnu/build/linux-initrd.scm (build-initrd): Add #:modprobe and honor
it.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): Add #:modprobe and honor it.
Call 'load-needed-linux-modules'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add #:linux parameter. Define
'modprobe-wrapper' and pass it to 'activate-modprobe'. Pass #:linux to
'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'.

Something annoying is that my external USB keyboard doesn’t work while
in the initrd (when I type my passphrase). I can see that it’s detected
early on, before I type my passphrase:

but its modules don’t get loaded until after eudev has been started, and
there’s no trace of a modprobe invocation for it.

Any idea what we’re missing?

Yeah, done. Ideally ‘program-file’ would take care of this. Future

The other filesystems are not such a problem - but BTRFS has its own snapshotting/
multivolume functionality - and it's possible that someone accesses /dev/btrfs-control
"too early" for that.

I applied your patches to a fresh clone of guix master now, ran the btrfs-root-os
system check, and indeed I get (tried two rounds, happened both times):

$ make TESTS=btrfs-root-os check-system

Yes.

I've read Linux's __request_module and I can't find where they
pre-check anything - neither whether there's already a builtin
nor whether it's loaded already.

They probably don't check. But I'll read it again, more carefully...

(request_module isn't that popular so it makes sense for them not to complicate
the kernel by these checks when there are like 8 callers in total - and all on init)

I tried looking up “modalias” right when entering a /sys/devices

Do you see a modprobe invocation for “fs-btrfs” or “block-major-xxx”
before?

Right, and the worst that can happen is that modprobe will fail, but
that’s fine because the functionality is already there anyway.

Yeah - but what does the kernel do when we return a non-zero exit code for something he wants to use? :)

./fs/filesystems.c: if (!fs && (request_module("%.*s", len, name) == 0))

I also wondered about the resolution order :)

At least module dependencies can't be aliases.

Yeah, same happened to me. Did the same (back then in "resolve-alias").

So should be fine.

Did it work before? I remember that Andreas had a similar problem before all this.

Did you implement globs with [0-9] yet? I remember there were some USB devices
using those :)

What's the modalias of your usb keyboard?

Does your initrd's modules.alias contain any patterns that are supposed to match?

(You can look into those via
cat initrd | gunzip -cd |cpio -i

- it will unpack)

I can't get the logfile to show any modprobe log message in this case
(which is "make TESTS=btrfs-root-os check-system").

I had that problem before and I think it's because guix is
using some special /tmp/repl pipe for qemu here[1] and so the message
vanishes somewhere where I can't see it (that is, the guest does
everything correctly but the host loses it somewhere).

The usual trick I use in this case which is "steal the cmdline and
the files from /proc/<qemu> and invoke it myself" doesn't work
either because of the pipe... hrmmmm...

I tried both /dev/kmsg and just not closing current-output-port etc.

I've double-checked that I've applied all v11 patches, including
the resolve-alias one (which I think is necessary anyway).

Help?

Log file attached.

While experimenting with this on the bare metal, it became clear that
it’s a timing issue: the keyboard is detected right after the cryptsetup
is displayed, so ‘load-needed-linux-modules’ didn’t have a chance to
load the relevant modules.

Similarly, if I boot with ‘--repl’, and I manually type
(load-needed-linux-modules …) from there, then the keyboard’s module
gets loaded as expected. That’s because the device showed up in the
meantime and the kernel created a /sys entry for it.

In essence, we want a mini-udev and something akin to “udevadm settle”.
Merely calling ‘load-needed-linux-modules’ once isn’t enough.

One way to do that would be to have a separate thread that calls
‘load-needed-linux-modules’ as appropriate. Ideally it would use
inotify on /sys like udev does, but a poor programmer’s version could
simply call ‘load-needed-linux-modules’ every half a second or so.

Alternately, before passing control to user code (pre-mount actions,
etc.), we could do a “settle” kind of thing: call
‘load-linux-modules-from-directory’ every 0.5 seconds until its result
is the same as before. There’s still a risk of missing devices, and
those devices will never show up later because nobody’s monitoring /sys.
But then again, “udevadm settle” must have the same problem: it can’t
really know whether things have settled, I guess.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Yes, but udevd continues running and monitoring /sys anyway - so I guess
they don't really care (if I wrote it, I'd start up the monitoring first
and then traverse /sys for modalias - and make sure the modprobe is
idempotent).

I have to say what we have to do is much more complicated than I thought
it would be - and I kinda regret starting this patchset. I didn't
want to make it less likely for people to boot than before :-(

I suggest we find out how the other distributions do it - if they do it.

A small bit of research shows that:

- Busybox uses a loop with timeout to try to mount over and over again,
depending on bus type [2].
- Alpine coldplugs twice [1].
- Fatdog has a "waitdev" boot parameter that specifies how long it sleeps
until it tries to mount the root.
- Redhat mkinitrd has an mkinitrd option like "--with=scsi_wait_scan" which
they use after they saw a modalias starting with "scsi:" - or add the
kernel option "scsi_mod.scan=sync" to the command line [3] (but they say that
this is unreliable now and one is supposed to use udev inside the initrd).
Not sure what they do for USB.

The Linux kernel itself has a "rootdelay" parameter which
was specifically introduced because of USB devices that took 15 s (!)
to show up.

All in all, we have alternative ways to continue:

(a) Drop this patchset/feature entirely because it's too unreliable.
(b) Monitor /sys using inotify in an extra thread/process.
(c) Include udev into the initrd and have it do its thing.
(d) Monitor the netlink socket in our own thread and play udev ourselves.
(e) Find out how to, for each bus type, detect when enumeration is finished.
Find out which buses are there. Wait for them to finish enumerating.
(f) Always modprobe usb-hid first, no matter what. I think this would
become a whack-a-mole thing fast.

I'd prefer either (a) or (b) for reliability and simplicity. WDYT?

(inotify is Linux-only, but so is /sys/devices :P)

Yeah, I had a nightmare where I dreamed of all the bug reports due to
devices not showing up quickly enough. :-)

It’s a kludge fest, which is reassuring, in a way.

Same here! Sounds like (b) is something we could easily try, though we
won’t know how well it works until people start running it on the bare
metal.

I can adjust the branch I have to do that and push it for people to try.

Thanks a lot of your feedback!

This message comes from ‘cryptsetup’.

The ‘init’ script for the config you posted does this:

Toggle snippet (26 lines)
(boot-system #:mounts (map spec->file-system
(quote (("/dev/mapper/guix"
device "/" "ext4" ()
#f #t))))
#:pre-mount (lambda ()
(and (let ((source "/dev/nvme0n1p1"))

((gnu build file-systems)

(zero? (system*

"open" "--type" "luks"
(if (bytevector? source)
(or (let loop ((tries-left 10))
(and (positive? tries-left)
(or (find-partition-by-luks-uuid source)
(begin
(sleep 1)
(loop (- tries-left 1))))))
(error "LUKS partition not found" source))
source)
"guix")))))

IOW, it does the right thing whether or not you’re using a UUID.

However, when using a UUID, it waits for the device to show up, whereas
otherwise it assumes the /dev node is already there and invokes
‘cryptsetup’ right away.

We should fix that and generalize the wait-for-device loop, which
already exists in a couple of instances.

There are connections with https://bugs.gnu.org/30604.

So I went ahead and pushed these patches, derived from our beautiful

c85ccf60bf linux-modules: Define and use a module name database.
e1a9a7f275 linux-modules: Add 'load-linux-modules-from-directory'.
2a693b69ca linux-modules: Add "modules.devname" writer.
4f8b9d1a6f linux-modules: Add "modules.alias" writer.

The actual fix for the hyphen/underscore mismatch that Julien reported
is commit c85ccf60bf. The “modules.devname” and “modules.alias” are
actually unused so far but (1) it was easier to preserve them, and (2)
that’ll give us an incentive to finish

I added an explicit comment that “modules.name” uses a Guix-specific
format. We can always rename it if the kernel folks decide to acquire
that file name.

Julien, could you please confirm that your initial issue is fixed?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
