Running a bundled aufs benchmark sometimes results in this warning:
> WARN[0001] Couldn't run auplink before unmount /tmp/aufs-tests/aufs/mnt/XXXXX error="exit status 22" storage-driver=aufs
If we take a look at what aulink utility produces on stderr, we'll see:
> auplink:proc_mnt.c:96: /tmp/aufs-tests/aufs/mnt/XXXXX: Invalid argument
and auplink exits with exit code of 22 (EINVAL).
Looking into auplink source code, what happens is it tries to find a
record in /proc/self/mounts corresponding to the mount point (by using
setmntent()/getmntent_r() glibc functions), and it fails.
Some manual testing, as well as runtime testing with lots of printf
added on mount/unmount, as well as calls to check the superblock fs
magic on mount point (as in graphdriver.Mounted(graphdriver.FsMagicAufs, target)
confirmed that this record is in fact there, but sometimes auplink
can't find it. I was also able to reproduce the same error (inability
to find a mount in /proc/self/mounts that should definitely be there)
using a small C program, mocking what `auplink` does:
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <mntent.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
FILE *fp;
struct mntent m, *p;
char a[4096];
char buf[4096 + 1024];
int found =0, lines = 0;
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <mountpoint>\n", argv[0]);
exit(1);
}
fp = setmntent("/proc/self/mounts", "r");
if (!fp) {
err(1, "setmntent");
}
setvbuf(fp, a, _IOLBF, sizeof(a));
while ((p = getmntent_r(fp, &m, buf, sizeof(buf)))) {
lines++;
if (!strcmp(p->mnt_dir, argv[1])) {
found++;
}
}
printf("found %d entries for %s (%d lines seen)\n", found, argv[1], lines);
return !found;
}
```
I have also wrote a few other C proggies -- one that reads
/proc/self/mounts directly, one that reads /proc/self/mountinfo instead.
They are also prone to the same occasional error.
It is not perfectly clear why this happens, but so far my best theory
is when a lot of mounts/unmounts happen in parallel with reading
contents of /proc/self/mounts, sometimes the kernel fails to provide
continuity (i.e. it skips some part of file or mixes it up in some
other way). In other words, this is a kernel bug (which is probably
hard to fix unless some other interface to get a mount entry is added).
Now, there is no real fix, and a workaround I was able to come up
with is to retry when we got EINVAL. It usually works on the second
attempt, although I've once seen it took two attempts to go through.

The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container system, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only, and are not intended for customers who want enterprise or commercial support; Docker EE is the appropriate product for these use cases.
