From 240bbc3bfa7d0dcab287186907b2bb350b8b370a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Reber Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:27:09 +0000 Subject: Fix pre-checkpointing Unfortunately --pre-checkpointing never worked as intended and recent changes to runc have shown that it is broken. To create a pre-checkpoint CRIU expects the paths between the pre-checkpoints to be a relative path. If having a previous checkpoint it needs the be referenced like this: --prev-images-dir ../parent Unfortunately Podman was giving runc (and CRIU) an absolute path. Unfortunately, again, until March 2021 CRIU silently ignored if the path was not relative and switch back to normal checkpointing. This has been now fixed in CRIU and runc and running pre-checkpoint with the latest runc fails, because runc already sees that the path is absolute and returns an error. This commit fixes this by giving runc a relative path. This commit also fixes a second pre-checkpointing error which was just recently introduced. So summarizing: pre-checkpointing never worked correctly because CRIU ignored wrong parameters and recent changes broke it even more. Now both errors should be fixed.
