WSL2 no longer loads when kernel version > 6.8.11 is used #65

Closed taalojarvi closed 5 months ago

Hi @Locietta,

I recently updated the kernel and found out that it does not boot anymore. I triaged the issue and found out that versions of kernel subsequent to 6.8.11 no longer boot and produce the following error:

The operation timed out because a response was not received from the virtual machine or container.

Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/HCS_E_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT

I took the liberty of getting dmesg logs from WSL Debug Console for your reference. However, it does not seem to point to anything specific. But i suspect it has to do with 33d892f13f021a3f209242d71c35712ea1081961.

Hope this helps.

Does 6.8.9-locietta-WSL2-xanmod1.3 works for you? That's the first release after 33d892f.

If 6.8.9-locietta-WSL2-xanmod1.2 works and 6.8.9-locietta-WSL2-xanmod1.3 fails then it should be the problem of CFI&CET thing...

The last build of this kernel that boots on my machine is 6.8.9-locietta-WSL2-xanmod1.3.

All releases after this one have failed to boot upon testing.

What CPU are you using to test the kernel?

What CPU are you using to test the kernel?

I'm using the x64v3 build for my Ryzen 5 4500U

Zen2 has no CET hardware though, maybe it's not 33d892f but something else. 6.8.11 works for my i5-9300H laptop, but 6.9.x does not. Toggling CFI/CET config does not help, still need more effort to investigate.

Compiled a build after reverting 33d892f13f021a3f209242d71c35712ea1081961 and tested. Unfortunately, it produces the same issue.

I re-downloaded and retested 6.8.11 today on a clean slate. Confirmed working fine on my end.

6.8.9 still does not boot. Possible upstream issue?

Locietta commented 5 months ago

Finally get some spare time to test kernels this week. I just noticed there's a suspicious link warning in the log:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: nf_nat_handle_postrouting+0x291: can't find jump dest instruction at .text.nf_nat_handle_postrouting+0x14bf

Compiled after reverting upstream fullcone nftable patch and it finally boots. Though not sure how to fix this... image

Hi, I've opened a PR to fix it, could you test kernels from https://github.com/Locietta/xanmod-kernel-WSL2/actions/runs/9576858987 to see if it works?

taalojarvi commented 5 months ago

Hi @Locietta,

The PR appears to have fixed the issue. System boots to prompt as intended now. image
