On my system, this causes restart to always fail because there is garbage in that field, thus triggering the above check. If I remove this, restart completes successfully. The following grep tells me that maybe this check isn't valid: % grep fd_objref checkpoint/*.c include/linux/checkpoint*.h checkpoint/rstr_file.c: file = cr_obj_get_by_ref(ctx, hh->fd_objref, CR_OBJ_FILE); checkpoint/rstr_file.c: file = cr_obj_add_file(ctx, fds[1-which], hh->fd_objref); checkpoint/rstr_file.c:static int cr_read_fd_objref(struct cr_ctx *ctx, struct cr_hdr_file *hh) checkpoint/rstr_file.c: file = cr_obj_get_by_ref(ctx, hh->fd_objref, CR_OBJ_FILE); checkpoint/rstr_file.c: if (hh->fd_objref < 0) checkpoint/rstr_file.c: fd = cr_read_fd_objref(ctx, hh); include/linux/checkpoint_hdr.h: __s32 fd_objref; I haven't looked into the surrounding bits yet, so maybe I'm missing something, but this seems to be causing a spurious failure on s390 at least. I'm doing this on a clone of your repository's ckpt-v14-rc2 branch. Perhaps that repo is missing a patch? -- Dan Smith IBM Linux Technology Center email: danms@xxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
