This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1]
enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux
distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems
for Nomad users.
Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer,
but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of
a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2
this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values
must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process,
rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved
parents.
Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2
mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to
use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support
cgroups v2 are also not affected.
When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless
otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using
naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention
set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected.
Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version
which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by
Nomad.
The new cpuset management strategy fixes#11705, where docker tasks that
spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are
started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of
the leak is eliminated.

This changeset does not introduce any functional change for the
docker driver, but rather cleans up the implementation around
computing configured capabilities by re-using code written for
the exec/java task drivers.
The default Linux Capabilities set enabled by the docker, exec, and
java task drivers includes CAP_NET_RAW (for making ping just work),
which has the side affect of opening an ARP DoS/MiTM attack between
tasks using bridge networking on the same host network.
https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#runtime-privilege-and-linux-capabilities
This PR disables CAP_NET_RAW for the docker, exec, and java task
drivers. The previous behavior can be restored for docker using the
allow_caps docker plugin configuration option.
A future version of nomad will enable similar configurability for the
exec and java task drivers.
This fixes a bug where Nomad overrides a Dockerfile's STOPSIGNAL with
the default kill_signal (SIGTERM).
This adds a check for kill_signal. If it's not set, it calls
StopContainer instead of Signal, which uses STOPSIGNAL if it's
specified. If both kill_signal and STOPSIGNAL are set, Nomad tries to
stop the container with kill_signal first, before then calling
StopContainer.
Fixes#9989
Introduce a new more-block friendly syntax for specifying mounts with a new `mount` block type with the target as label:
```hcl
config {
image = "..."
mount {
type = "..."
target = "target-path"
volume_options { ... }
}
}
```
The main benefit here is that by `mount` being a block, it can nest blocks and avoids the compatibility problems noted in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/9634/files#diff-2161d829655a3a36ba2d916023e4eec125b9bd22873493c1c2e5e3f7ba92c691R128-R155 .
The intention is for us to promote this `mount` blocks and quietly deprecate the `mounts` type, while still honoring to preserve compatibility as much as we could.
This addresses the issue in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/9604 .
The default behavior for `docker.volumes.enabled` is intended to be `false`,
but the HCL schema defaults to `true` if the value is unset. Set the default
literal value to `true`.
Additionally, Docker driver mounts of type "volume" (but not "bind") are not
being properly sandboxed with that setting. Disable Docker mounts with type
"volume" entirely whenever the `docker.volumes.enabled` flag is set to
false. Note this is unrelated to the `volume_mount` feature, which is
constrained to preconfigured host volumes or whatever is mounted by a CSI
plugin.
This changeset includes updates to unit tests that should have been failing
under the documented behavior but were not.

This PR adds a version specific upgrade note about the docker stop
signal behavior. Also adds test for the signal logic in docker driver.
Closes#8932 which was fixed in #8933
Pulling large docker containers can take longer than the default
context timeout. Without a way to change this it is very hard for
users to utilise Nomad properly without hacky work arounds.
This change adds an optional pull_timeout config parameter which
gives operators the possibility to account for increase pull times
where needed. The infra docker image also has the option to set a
custom timeout to keep consistency.
* docker: support group allocated ports
* docker: add new ports driver config to specify which group ports are mapped
* docker: update port mapping docs
Fixes#2093
Enable configuring `memory_hard_limit` in the docker config stanza for tasks.
If set, this field will be passed to the container runtime as `--memory`, and
the `memory` configuration from the task resource configuration will be passed
as `--memory_reservation`, creating hard and soft memory limits for tasks using
the docker task driver.
This fixes few cases where driver eventor goroutines are leaked during
normal operations, but especially so in tests.
This change makes few modifications:
First, it switches drivers to use `Context`s to manage shutdown events.
Previously, it relied on callers invoking `.Shutdown()` function that is
specific to internal drivers only and require casting. Using `Contexts`
provide a consistent idiomatic way to manage lifecycle for both internal
and external drivers.
Also, I discovered few places where we don't clean up a temporary driver
instance in the plugin catalog code, where we dispense a driver to
inspect and validate the schema config without properly cleaning it up.
Copy the updated version of freeport (sdk/freeport), and tweak it for use
in Nomad tests. This means staying below port 10000 to avoid conflicts with
the lib/freeport that is still transitively used by the old version of
consul that we vendor. Also provide implementations to find ephemeral ports
of macOS and Windows environments.
Ports acquired through freeport are supposed to be returned to freeport,
which this change now also introduces. Many tests are modified to include
calls to a cleanup function for Server objects.
This should help quite a bit with some flakey tests, but not all of them.
Our port problems will not go away completely until we upgrade our vendor
version of consul. With Go modules, we'll probably do a 'replace' to swap
out other copies of freeport with the one now in 'nomad/helper/freeport'.
This handles a bug where we may start a container successfully, yet we
fail due to retries and startContainer not being idempotent call.
Here, we ensure that when starting a container fails with 500 error,
the retry succeeds if container was started successfully.
