Three root causes addressed:
1. Go page allocator corruption: allocations between the pre-snapshot GC
and VM freeze leave the summary tree inconsistent. After restore, GC
reads corrupted metadata — either panicking (killing PID 1 → kernel
panic) or silently failing to collect, causing unbounded heap growth
until OOM. Fix: move GC to after all HTTP allocations in
PostSnapshotPrepare, then set GOMAXPROCS(1) so any remaining
allocations run sequentially with no concurrent page allocator access.
GOMAXPROCS is restored on first health check after restore.
2. PostInit timeout starvation: WaitUntilReady and PostInit shared a
single 30s context. If WaitUntilReady consumed most of it, PostInit
failed — RestoreAfterSnapshot never ran, leaving envd with keep-alives
disabled and zombie connections. Fix: separate timeout contexts.
3. CP HTTP server missing timeouts: no ReadHeaderTimeout or IdleTimeout
caused goroutine leaks from hung proxy connections. Fix: add both,
matching host agent values.
Also adds UFFD prefetch to proactively load all guest pages after restore,
eliminating on-demand page fault latency for subsequent RPC calls.
After Firecracker snapshot restore, zombie TCP sockets from the previous
session cause Go runtime corruption inside the guest VM, making envd
unresponsive. This manifests as infinite loading in the file browser and
terminal timeouts (524) in production (HTTP/2 + Cloudflare) but not locally.
Four-part fix:
- Add ServerConnTracker to envd that tracks connections via ConnState callback,
closes idle connections and disables keep-alives before snapshot, then closes
all pre-snapshot zombie connections on restore (while preserving post-restore
connections like the /init request)
- Split envdclient into timeout (2min) and streaming (no timeout) HTTP clients;
use streaming client for file transfers and process RPCs
- Close host-side idle envdclient connections before PrepareSnapshot so FIN
packets propagate during the 3s quiesce window
- Add StreamingHTTPClient() accessor; streaming file transfer handlers in
hostagent use it instead of the timeout client
