From 19a58095c5b52639438bc02308d90d123c4dbfd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Warner Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2024 12:12:51 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(swingset): retire unreachable orphans If a kernel object ("koid", the object subset of krefs) is unreachable, and then becomes orphaned (either because the owning vat was terminated, or called `syscall.abandonExports`, or was upgraded and the koid was ephemeral), then retire it immediately. The argument is that the previously-owning vat can never again talk about the object, so it can never become reachable again, which is normally the point at which the owning vat would retire it. But because the owning vat is dead, it can't retire the koid by itself, the kernel needs to do the retirement on the vat's behalf. We now consolidate retirement responsibilities into processRefcounts(): when terminateVat or syscall.abandonExports use abandonKernelObjects() to mark a kref as orphaned, it also adds the kref to maybeFreeKrefs, and then processRefcounts() is responsible for noticing the kref is both orphaned and unreachable, and then notifying any importers of its retirement. I double-checked that cleanupAfterTerminatedVat will always be followed by a processRefcounts(), by virtue of either being called from processDeliveryMessage (in the crankResults.terminate clause), or from within a device invocation syscall (which only happens during a delivery, so follows the same path). We need this to ensure that any maybeFreeKrefs created by the cleanup's abandonKernelObjects() will get processed promptly. This also changes getObjectRefCount() to tolerate deleted krefs (i.e. missing `koNN.refCount`) by just returning 0,0. This fixes a potential kernel panic in the new approach, when a kref is recognizable by one vat but only reachable by a send-message on the run-queue, then becomes unreachable as that message is delivered (the run-queue held the last strong reference), and if the target vat does syscall.exit during the delivery. The decref pushes the kref onto maybeFreeKrefs, the terminateVat retires the merely-recognizable now-orphaned kref, then processRefcounts used getObjectRefCount() to grab the refcount for the now-retired (and deleted) kref, which asserted that the koNN.refCount key still existed, which didn't. This occured in "zoe - secondPriceAuction -- valid input" unit test , where the contract did syscall.exit in response to a timer wake() message sent to a single-use wakeObj. closes #7212 --- .../SwingSet/src/kernel/state/kernelKeeper.js | 72 ++++++++-- packages/SwingSet/test/abandon-export.test.js | 2 +- .../SwingSet/test/gc-kernel-orphan.test.js | 123 +++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 187 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/SwingSet/src/kernel/state/kernelKeeper.js b/packages/SwingSet/src/kernel/state/kernelKeeper.js index 86e500488783..b28b808538d6 100644 --- a/packages/SwingSet/src/kernel/state/kernelKeeper.js +++ b/packages/SwingSet/src/kernel/state/kernelKeeper.js @@ -620,6 +620,9 @@ export default function makeKernelKeeper( function getObjectRefCount(kernelSlot) { const data = kvStore.get(`${kernelSlot}.refCount`); + if (!data) { + return { reachable: 0, recognizable: 0 }; + } data || Fail`getObjectRefCount(${kernelSlot}) was missing`; const [reachable, recognizable] = commaSplit(data).map(Number); reachable <= recognizable || @@ -949,6 +952,14 @@ export default function makeKernelKeeper( * */ function cleanupAfterTerminatedVat(vatID, budget = undefined) { + // this is called from terminateVat, which is called from either: + // * end of processDeliveryMessage, if crankResults.terminate + // * device-vat-admin (when vat-v-a does adminNode.terminateVat) + // (which always happens inside processDeliveryMessage) + // so we're always followed by a call to processRefcounts, at + // end-of-delivery in processDeliveryMessage, after checking + // crankResults.terminate + insistVatID(vatID); let cleanups = 0; const work = { @@ -1516,11 +1527,23 @@ export default function makeKernelKeeper( deleteKernelPromise(kpid); } } + if (type === 'object') { const { reachable, recognizable } = getObjectRefCount(kref); if (reachable === 0) { - const ownerVatID = ownerOfKernelObject(kref); - if (ownerVatID) { + // We avoid ownerOfKernelObject(), which will report + // 'undefined' if the owner is dead (and being slowly + // deleted).
