thread local context (#359) causes test issue on Linux: `1: [4] fid:0 channel 2, to submit:64, submitted:Operation not permitted`

[pabs3]

On Linux, #359 by @PhilipBAdams causes the SSDServingTest TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT test to continously print this message over and over again:

 1: [4] fid:0 channel 2, to submit:64, submitted:Operation not permitted

This message comes from the BatchReadFileAsync function in AnnService/src/Helper/AsyncFileReader.cpp and is printed when the io_submit syscall fails:

int s = syscall(__NR_io_submit, handler->GetIOCP(channel), iocbs[i].size() - submitted[i], iocbs[i].data() + submitted[i]);
if (s > 0) {
    submitted[i] += s;
    totalSubmitted += s;
}
else {
    SPTAGLIB_LOG(Helper::LogLevel::LL_Error, "fid:%d channel %d, to submit:%d, submitted:%s\n", i, channel, iocbs[i].size() - submitted[i], strerror(-s));
}

According to the io_submit manual page, this indicates incorrectly setting the RT IO priority class:

EPERM  The aio_reqprio field is set with the class IOPRIO_CLASS_RT, but the submitting context does not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability.

However, the code does not set the IO priority class anywhere.

My conclusion is that maybe the iocb structure being passed to io_submit gets corrupted somehow, but I am not sure.

Thoughts and ideas for further debugging of this are welcome.

I also tried commenting out the contents of the Helper::SetThreadAffinity function but that didn't work.

[pabs3]

Enabling use of libnuma doesn't fix this issue.

[pabs3]

Reverting just the changes to AnnService/inc/SSDServing/SSDIndex.h in commit 5ffeabe didn't work either.

[PhilipBAdams]

Can you log the values of the iocbs at the time you get the error message? The value of aio_reqprio should be 0 from the memset, which maps to IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE.

What's the compiler/platform? In our linux unit test run (Ubuntu 20.04, GCC 9.4.0) we don't encounter this log.

[pabs3]

Not sure if I got the code right (see the async-log-submissions branch in my fork), but I tried logging aio_reqprio and it was always zero, so probably my initial diagnosis might have been incorrect. This is on Debian 12 bookworm and GCC 12.2.0. I'll try some older versions of Debian today.

Same error with Debian 11 bullseye and GCC 10.2.1.

After modifying the code to log all io_submit requests, this is what the output looks like:

I noticed that when I enable only the AlgoTest/SPANNTest and SSDServingTest/TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT tests then the SSDServingTest/TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT test fails:

BOOST_TEST_RUN_FILTERS=AlgoTest/SPANNTest:SSDServingTest/TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT ../SPTAGTest

I also noticed that enabling all tests except the AlgoTest/SPANNTest test means all the tests pass, including SSDServingTest/TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT:

BOOST_TEST_RUN_FILTERS='!AlgoTest/SPANNTest' ../SPTAGTest

So I think that AlgoTest/SPANNTest is somehow interfering with SSDServingTest/TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT.

The successful SSDServingTest/TestSearchSSDIndexFloatL2BKTDEFAULTTXT test output looks like this:

I noticed that there are a lot of tests that fail, not just one.

All of the failing tests use the TestSearchSSDIndex function, which calls the SPTAG::SSDServing::BootProgram function.

This is the list of failing tests when AlgoTest/SPANNTest is enabled:

I note that when I rebuild SPTAG and its tests with the -fsanitize=thread option, then all of these tests have ThreadSanitizer data races reported:

According to ThreadSanitizer these are the most common locations for data races in SPTAG:

$ grep ThreadSanitizer *.log  | sed -E 's/^([^:]*):(.*)/\2/' | sed 's/<[^>]*>/<>/' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | grep -v /usr/ | grep -v /libsanitizer/ | grep -v pid= | tail

@pabs3
I'm sorry to bother you.
I would like to ask a few questions as follows：
#403
But I don't know what platform to contact you through.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks very much.

[pabs3]

Sorry, I am not involved in the project, I am just packaging it for my employer. So I have no idea about the answers to your questions. You will need to contact the Microsoft employees who wrote it. Some of their email addresses are available in the git log. Clone the project locally and run the git log command and you will see the addresses.

Hi, I have encountered the same question, have you found the root cause of this problem?

[pabs3]

I wasn't able to figure out the cause for this bug so far and I don't plan to work on it any further at this point.

This workaround enables all the tests to be run successfully, first run the tests excluding SPANNTest by using this environment variable BOOST_TEST_RUN_FILTERS=!AlgoTest/SPANNTest then run the tests again but include only SPANNTest with this environment variable BOOST_TEST_RUN_FILTERS=AlgoTest/SPANNTest.
