== Comment: #5 - Breno Leitao <email address hidden> - 2018-02-26 08:48:31 ==
it looks like that the ipr driver is loaded in the installer. I am wondering where the problem is.

== Comment: #6 - Vaishnavi Bhat <email address hidden> - 2018-02-26 09:04:33 ==
Since the IPR based drive is not detectable in the general scenario but only with the workaround, it might be an issue with the installer or the driver being obsolete. But otherwise the ipr module is loaded fine during the installation.
Mirroring this bug to the distro for their awareness and being investigated in the IBM side as well.

Thank you.

IBM is able to reproduce this issue and we are able to see all the IPR disks in the shell. The IPR module is loaded during the installation as well but not detected during installation. This is a installer issue. Please raise the priority from low to high.

Thank you.

Please can you also investigate into any potential differences in these obviously two environments?
Are both using the same or different:
- Power hardware
- adapter hardware revision
- firmware on the adapter
- 18.04 installer version
etc.
Thx

We are able to reproduce this issue every time.
- upgraded the IPR RAID firmwares to latest VR18
- booted with current 4.15.0-10-generic and we still see this issue..
- Current firwmare version :
P side : FW840.00 (SV840_056)
T side : FW860.20 (SV860_072)
Boot side : FW860.20 (SV860_072)

Can you please clarify which parties were successful in installing? If this means some other parties form IBM side so that we can cross check the failures?

Thank you.

upgraded the IPR RAID firmwares to latest VR18, booted with current 4.15.0-10-generic and we still see this issue.. Only thing which is pending is system firmware, I still believe that should not be a problem
/ # update_flash -d
Current firwmare version :

Do any one else have any bare-metal tuleta to try this out ?

Just figured out that the thread-view in my inbox wasn't correctly displayed and the neg. confirmation of the reproducibility of this issue came from a different ticket.

But thanks for confirmation and the additional details.

Since this is no longer for awareness only, I'll reassign it (importance was already raised).

If this is a reliable workaround, then it sounds like a clear ordering bug in the installer.

That order is exactly what happens automatically, so it's not an ordering bug. I suspect it's that the driver is taking more time to detect disks than it used to, and the "workaround" is really just the equivalent of adding a "sleep 10" between modprobe and enumeration. I wonder if something on the kernel side switched from being sync to async and we need to paper over that in userspace.

Async scanning for SCSI has been around for a while. The ipr driver fully supports async scanning. This behavior can be controlled via the scan scsi_mod module parameter. Valid values are sync, async, manual, or none. One thing to try would be to pass the following on the kernel command line when booting the installer and see if that affects the end result:

scsi_mod.scan=sync

the /var/log/syslog from the running d-i, after doing all possible steps to get it working again
(e.g. the mentioned going back & rescanning disks).

For the installer, kernel modules are split into .udeb packages, and it might be that some of the needed kernel modules, are loaded after disk scanning was performed, hence rescanning picks up new things as new/more kernel drivers are loaded at that point.

Output of lsmod would be useful as well, to correlate and check which udebs are downloaded when; and which drivers are modprobed when.

E.g. it is possible that scsi-modules udeb is lacking the necessary modules in v4.15 packaging splits.

When booting proposed images which have not yet migrated to the release pocket, one must also specify 'apt-setup/proposed=true' and the mirror you use must have up to date bionic-proposed.

It is best to not download d-i from ports.ubuntu.com, but instead please use your local mirror - to ensure the d-i published there, matches the available kernel udebs on your mirror. You should be mirroring main/installer-* and main/debian-installer/*.

Also please specify which d-i serial number is in use. (check /var/lib/dpkg/info for the debian-installer package) or instead of the symlink url /current/ use the one with the build serial and let me know which one that is.

Also note, that 20101020ubuntu535 build serial has migrated to bionic-release, thus if you are using 20101020ubuntu535 or later, with an up to date mirror, 'apt-setup/proposed=true' should not be needed and you should have access to all the latest kernel modules.

If you do not, please check that your mirror is up to date. It was fully published on 2018-03-27 03:04:31 BST, together with the 4.15.0-13.14 kernel. Is 20101020ubuntu535 d-i synced to your internal mirror yet?

I am marking this bug report incomplete until you provide the d-i serial number in use.

(please note, this is not the first time that d-i erorrs are reported _without_ specifying d-i serial number in use. Without d-i serial number, it is very hard to speculate and assist with your queries.)

Looking further at this problem, it seems that ipr.ko is not part of the basic set of device drivers in the installer package.

If I exit to the shell at the beginning of d-i, I do not find ipr.ko:

BusyBox v1.27.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.27.2-2ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ # cd /
~ # find . -name ipr.ko
~ #

It seems it will only show up later, maybe if we grab the -extra package? If that is the case, and I would like to confirm soon, we will need to move ipr back to the main kernel package.

It could be, but the race would still be there, just less likely to be hit.

As suggested by Brian, I was finally able to use scsi_mod.scan=sync kerenl parameter and the problem is not reproducible, although the hardware detection phase is a bit slower.

The problem is that ipr is taking more than a minute to be loaded now:

I do not think there is a race here, but basically the disk probing is slow(er?), something that needs to be investigate, but, definitely not before the 18.04 release.

I understand we have two fixes for the near term (18.04 GA):

1) Load the driver earlier, putting ipr.ko into storage-core-modules, and hope to have the discs initialized asynchronously before the disk partitioner is invoked.

2) Force the disc scan to use the sync mode during install

PS: Since IPR is the most used disk controller on ppc64el by far, I think it wouldn't hurt if we put it as part of the original netboot intird image. If we do not want to increase the initird size, we can replace the wifi drivers by the ipr driver or some net as arcnet, or hid drivers.

It sounds like the root cause of this bug, then, is that the ipr driver is taking longer than normal / longer than reasonable to initialize+scan. If this is a regression vs. previous Ubuntu releases (as opposed to, say, an instance of failing hardware on a particular test machine), then we need to be looking at a kernel bug; opening a task on the linux package for this.

Separately, based on the investigation and findings up to this point, I think d-i should also be fixed to scan disks synchronously, because there is certainly a race here; and given the design of d-i, which does not automatically update the UI with details of late-detected disks, I think it's more important to be reliable than fast.

Two things.

SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=y is set from xenial to bionic.

If we believe this is what is causing the race here, we can try booting d-i with a kernel parameter 'scsi_mod.scan=sync' specified. (or i can rebuild d-i with such kernel cmdline built-in if required). And check if that helps to resolve this case.

I do wonder, if d-i should be taking the control of the scan itself, meaning, booting with scsi_mod.scan=none and doing `echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/*/scan` at the appropriate stage of disk-detect.

Or if we do async scan, trigger a rescan at disk-detect stage. `echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/device/rescan`

Will be checking the disk-detect / scsi code, to see if it does trigger scans, and if it correctly blocks on said scans to complete.

Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox) wrote :

So my current feelings about this are as follows:

udev-udeb should ship /lib/modprobe.d/ directory

It should contain systemd.conf, just like the deb udev package, which sets bonding max_bonds=0 and dummy numdummies=0.

It should also contain scsi-scan-sync.conf that that sets `options scsi_mod scan=sync`

This way, when hw-detect runs `update-dev` and `update-dev --settle` all the scsi module loading will be blocking said sync points correctly, using the scsi kernel built-in scan timeouts etc.

Potentially no disks found menu, needs an option to "Rescan all SCSI drives again".

I tested using this parameter as a kernel parameter, and it works as expected. I am able to see the disks as soon as I get into the disk partition tool.

Yes, closing it at our side.

By the way, did you measure if the disk scan is considerably slower than previously?

We could not make out the difference of the time of taken for disk scan as user<<- -may be we did not notice it?

The scan is forced to be done synchronously, however the ipr driver is available and is loaded much earlier in the install process, thus it should not significantly affect the overall install time.

One may be able to notice the difference a bit more with a fully-automated preseed install.
