The allocrunner has a service registration handler that proxies various API
calls to Consul. With multi-cluster support (for ENT), the service registration
handler is what selects the correct Consul client. The name of this field in the
allocrunner and taskrunner code base looks like it's referring to the actual
Consul API client. This was actually the case before Nomad native service
discovery was implemented, but now the name is misleading.
Remove the now-unused original configuration blocks for Consul and Vault from
the client. When the client needs to refer to a Consul or Vault block it will
always be for a specific cluster for the task/service. Add a helper for
accessing the default clusters (for the client's own use).
This is two of three changesets for this work. The remainder will implement the
same changes in the `command/agent` package.
As part of this work I discovered and fixed two bugs:
* The gRPC proxy socket that we create for Envoy is only ever created using the
default Consul cluster's configuration. This will prevent Connect from being
used with the non-default cluster.
* The Consul configuration we use for templates always comes from the default
Consul cluster's configuration, but will use the correct Consul token for the
non-default cluster. This will prevent templates from being used with the
non-default cluster.

In Nomad Enterprise, a task may connect to a non-default Vault cluster,
requiring `consul-template` to be configured with a specific client
`vault` block.
When clients are restarted and the identity hook runs when we restore
allocations, the running allocations are likely to have already-signed Workload
Identities that are unexpired. Save these to the client's local state DB so that
we can avoid a thundering herd of RPCs during client restart. When we restore,
we'll check if there's at least one expired signed WI before making any initial
signing request.
Included:
* Renames `getIdentities` to `getInitialIdentities` to make the workflow more clear.
* Renames the existing `widmgr_test.go` file of integration tests, which is in its
own package to avoid circular imports to `widmgr_int_test.go`
The `sids_hook` runs for Connect sidecar/gateway tasks and gets Consul Service
Identity (SI) tokens for use by the Envoy bootstrap hook. When Workload Identity
is being used with Consul, the `consul_hook` will have already added these
tokens to the alloc hook resources. Update the `sids_hook` to use those tokens
instead and write them to the expected area of the taskdir.
* vault: update identity name to start with `vault_`
In the original proposal, workload identities used to derive Vault
tokens were expected to be called just `vault`. But in order to support
multiple Vault clusters it is necessary to associate identities with
specific Vault cluster configuration.
This commit implements a new proposal to have Vault identities named as
`vault_<cluster>`.
This commit splits identity_hook between the allocrunner and taskrunner. The
allocrunner-level part of the hook signs each task identity, and the
taskrunner-level part picks it up and stores secrets for each task.
The code revamps the WIDMgr, which is now split into 2 interfaces:
IdentityManager which manages renewals of signatures and handles sending
updates to subscribers via Watch method, and IdentitySigner which only does the
signing.
This work is necessary for having a unified Consul login workflow that comes
with the new Consul integration. A new, allocrunner-level consul_hook will now
be the only hook doing Consul authentication.
Nomad Enterprise will support configuring multiple Vault clients. Instead of
having a single Vault client field in the Nomad client, we'll have a function
that callers can parameterize by the Vault cluster name that returns the
correctly configured Vault API client wrapper.
* drivers: plumb hardware topology via grpc into drivers
This PR swaps out the temporary use of detecting system hardware manually
in each driver for using the Client's detected topology by plumbing the
data over gRPC. This ensures that Client configuration is taken to account
consistently in all references to system topology.
* cr: use enum instead of bool for core grade
* cr: fix test slit tables to be possible
* client: refactor cpuset partitioning
This PR updates the way Nomad client manages the split between tasks
that make use of resources.cpus vs. resources.cores.
Previously, each task was explicitly assigned which CPU cores they were
able to run on. Every time a task was started or destroyed, all other
tasks' cpusets would need to be updated. This was inefficient and would
crush the Linux kernel when a client would try to run ~400 or so tasks.
Now, we make use of cgroup heirarchy and cpuset inheritence to efficiently
manage cpusets.
* cr: tweaks for feedback
Allows for multiple `identity{}` blocks for tasks along with user-specified audiences. This is a building block to allow workload identities to be used with Consul, Vault and 3rd party JWT based auth methods.
Expiration is still unimplemented and is necessary for JWTs to be used securely, so that's up next.

This complements the `env` parameter, so that the operator can author
tasks that don't share their Vault token with the workload when using
`image` filesystem isolation. As a result, more powerful tokens can be used
in a job definition, allowing it to use template stanzas to issue all kinds of
secrets (database secrets, Vault tokens with very specific policies, etc.),
without sharing that issuing power with the task itself.
This is accomplished by creating a directory called `private` within
the task's working directory, which shares many properties of
the `secrets` directory (tmpfs where possible, not accessible by
`nomad alloc fs` or Nomad's web UI), but isn't mounted into/bound to the
container.
If the `disable_file` parameter is set to `false` (its default), the Vault token
is also written to the NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR, so the default behavior is
backwards compatible. Even if the operator never changes the default,
they will still benefit from the improved behavior of Nomad never reading
the token back in from that - potentially altered - location.

* client: sandbox go-getter subprocess with landlock
This PR re-implements the getter package for artifact downloads as a subprocess.
Key changes include
On all platforms, run getter as a child process of the Nomad agent.
On Linux platforms running as root, run the child process as the nobody user.
On supporting Linux kernels, uses landlock for filesystem isolation (via go-landlock).
On all platforms, restrict environment variables of the child process to a static set.
notably TMP/TEMP now points within the allocation's task directory
kernel.landlock attribute is fingerprinted (version number or unavailable)
These changes make Nomad client more resilient against a faulty go-getter implementation that may panic, and more secure against bad actors attempting to use artifact downloads as a privilege escalation vector.
Adds new e2e/artifact suite for ensuring artifact downloading works.
TODO: Windows git test (need to modify the image, etc... followup PR)
* landlock: fixup items from cr
* cr: fixup tests and go.mod file
* allocrunner: handle lifecycle when all tasks die
When all tasks die the Coordinator must transition to its terminal
state, coordinatorStatePoststop, to unblock poststop tasks. Since this
could happen at any time (for example, a prestart task dies), all states
must be able to transition to this terminal state.
* allocrunner: implement different alloc restarts
Add a new alloc restart mode where all tasks are restarted, even if they
have already exited. Also unifies the alloc restart logic to use the
implementation that restarts tasks concurrently and ignores
ErrTaskNotRunning errors since those are expected when restarting the
allocation.
* allocrunner: allow tasks to run again
Prevent the task runner Run() method from exiting to allow a dead task
to run again. When the task runner is signaled to restart, the function
will jump back to the MAIN loop and run it again.
The task runner determines if a task needs to run again based on two new
task events that were added to differentiate between a request to
restart a specific task, the tasks that are currently running, or all
tasks that have already run.
* api/cli: add support for all tasks alloc restart
Implement the new -all-tasks alloc restart CLI flag and its API
counterpar, AllTasks. The client endpoint calls the appropriate restart
method from the allocrunner depending on the restart parameters used.
* test: fix tasklifecycle Coordinator test
* allocrunner: kill taskrunners if all tasks are dead
When all non-poststop tasks are dead we need to kill the taskrunners so
we don't leak their goroutines, which are blocked in the alloc restart
loop. This also ensures the allocrunner exits on its own.
* taskrunner: fix tests that waited on WaitCh
Now that "dead" tasks may run again, the taskrunner Run() method will
not return when the task finishes running, so tests must wait for the
task state to be "dead" instead of using the WaitCh, since it won't be
closed until the taskrunner is killed.
* tests: add tests for all tasks alloc restart
* changelog: add entry for #14127
* taskrunner: fix restore logic.
The first implementation of the task runner restore process relied on
server data (`tr.Alloc().TerminalStatus()`) which may not be available
to the client at the time of restore.
It also had the incorrect code path. When restoring a dead task the
driver handle always needs to be clear cleanly using `clearDriverHandle`
otherwise, after exiting the MAIN loop, the task may be killed by
`tr.handleKill`.
The fix is to store the state of the Run() loop in the task runner local
client state: if the task runner ever exits this loop cleanly (not with
a shutdown) it will never be able to run again. So if the Run() loops
starts with this local state flag set, it must exit early.
This local state flag is also being checked on task restart requests. If
the task is "dead" and its Run() loop is not active it will never be
able to run again.
* address code review requests
* apply more code review changes
* taskrunner: add different Restart modes
Using the task event to differentiate between the allocrunner restart
methods proved to be confusing for developers to understand how it all
worked.
So instead of relying on the event type, this commit separated the logic
of restarting an taskRunner into two methods:
- `Restart` will retain the current behaviour and only will only restart
the task if it's currently running.
- `ForceRestart` is the new method where a `dead` task is allowed to
restart if its `Run()` method is still active. Callers will need to
restart the allocRunner taskCoordinator to make sure it will allow the
task to run again.
* minor fixes
The current implementation for the task coordinator unblocks tasks by
performing destructive operations over its internal state (like closing
channels and deleting maps from keys).
This presents a problem in situations where we would like to revert the
state of a task, such as when restarting an allocation with tasks that
have already exited.
With this new implementation the task coordinator behaves more like a
finite state machine where task may be blocked/unblocked multiple times
by performing a state transition.
This initial part of the work only refactors the task coordinator and
is functionally equivalent to the previous implementation. Future work
will build upon this to provide bug fixes and enhancements.
Fix numerous go-getter security issues:
- Add timeouts to http, git, and hg operations to prevent DoS
- Add size limit to http to prevent resource exhaustion
- Disable following symlinks in both artifacts and `job run`
- Stop performing initial HEAD request to avoid file corruption on
retries and DoS opportunities.
**Approach**
Since Nomad has no ability to differentiate a DoS-via-large-artifact vs
a legitimate workload, all of the new limits are configurable at the
client agent level.
The max size of HTTP downloads is also exposed as a node attribute so
that if some workloads have large artifacts they can specify a high
limit in their jobspecs.
In the future all of this plumbing could be extended to enable/disable
specific getters or artifact downloading entirely on a per-node basis.

This PR updates the version of redis used in our examples from 3.2 to 7.
The old version is very not supported anymore, and we should be setting
a good example by using a supported version.
The long-form example job is now fixed so that the service stanza uses
nomad as the service discovery provider, and so now the job runs without
a requirement of having Consul running and configured.
This PR modifies raw_exec and exec to ensure the cgroup for a task
they are driving still exists during a task restart. These drivers
have the same bug but with different root cause.
For raw_exec, we were removing the cgroup in 2 places - the cpuset
manager, and in the unix containment implementation (the thing that
uses freezer cgroup to clean house). During a task restart, the
containment would remove the cgroup, and when the task runner hooks
went to start again would block on waiting for the cgroup to exist,
which will never happen, because it gets created by the cpuset manager
which only runs as an alloc pre-start hook. The fix here is to simply
not delete the cgroup in the containment implementation; killing the
PIDs is enough. The removal happens in the cpuset manager later anyway.
For exec, it's the same idea, except DestroyTask is called on task
failure, which in turn calls into libcontainer, which in turn deletes
the cgroup. In this case we do not have control over the deletion of
the cgroup, so instead we hack the cgroup back into life after the
call to DestroyTask.
All of this only applies to cgroups v2.
This PR is 2 fixes for the flaky TestTaskRunner_TaskEnv_Chroot test.
And also the TestTaskRunner_Download_ChrootExec test.
- Use TinyChroot to stop copying gigabytes of junk, which causes GHA
to fail to create the environment in time.
- Pre-create cgroups on V2 systems. Normally the cgroup directory is
managed by the cpuset manager, but that is not active in taskrunner tests,
so create it by hand in the test framework.
This commit performs refactoring to pull out common service
registration objects into a new `client/serviceregistration`
package. This new package will form the base point for all
client specific service registration functionality.
The Consul specific implementation is not moved as it also
includes non-service registration implementations; this reduces
the blast radius of the changes as well.
In certain task lifecycles the taskrunner service deregister call
could be called three times for a task that is exiting. Whilst
each hook caller of deregister has its own purpose, we should try
and ensure it is only called once during the shutdown lifecycle of
a task.
This change therefore tracks when deregister has been called, so
that subsequent calls are noop. In the event the task is
restarting, the deregister value is reset to ensure proper
operation.
Some operators use very long group/task `shutdown_delay` settings to
safely drain network connections to their workloads after service
deregistration. But during incident response, they may want to cause
that drain to be skipped so they can quickly shed load.
Provide a `-no-shutdown-delay` flag on the `nomad alloc stop` and
`nomad job stop` commands that bypasses the delay. This sets a new
desired transition state on the affected allocations that the
allocation/task runner will identify during pre-kill on the client.
Note (as documented here) that using this flag will almost always
result in failed inbound network connections for workloads as the
tasks will exit before clients receive updated service discovery
information and won't be gracefully drained.
There are bits of logic in callers of RemoveWorkload on group/task
cleanup hooks which call RemoveWorkload with the "Canary" version
of the workload, in case the alloc is marked as a Canary. This logic
triggers an extra sync with Consul, and also doesn't do the intended
behavior - for which no special casing is necessary anyway. When the
workload is marked for removal, all associated services and checks
will be removed regardless of the Canary status, because the service
and check IDs do not incorporate the canary-ness in the first place.
The only place where canary-ness matters is when updating a workload,
where we need to compute the hash of the services and checks to determine
whether they have been modified, the Canary flag of which is a part of
that.
Fixes#10842
This PR changes Nomad's wrapper around the Consul NamespaceAPI so that
it will detect if the Consul Namespaces feature is enabled before making
a request to the Namespaces API. Namespaces are not enabled in Consul OSS,
and require a suitable license to be used with Consul ENT.
Previously Nomad would check for a 404 status code when makeing a request
to the Namespaces API to "detect" if Consul OSS was being used. This does
not work for Consul ENT with Namespaces disabled, which returns a 500.
Now we avoid requesting the namespace API altogether if Consul is detected
to be the OSS sku, or if the Namespaces feature is not licensed. Since
Consul can be upgraded from OSS to ENT, or a new license applied, we cache
the value for 1 minute, refreshing on demand if expired.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-enterprise/issues/575
Note that the ticket originally describes using attributes from https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10688.
This turns out not to be possible due to a chicken-egg situation between
bootstrapping the agent and setting up the consul client. Also fun: the
Consul fingerprinter creates its own Consul client, because there is no
[currently] no way to pass the agent's client through the fingerprint factory.
This commit ensures Nomad captures the task code more reliably even when the task is killed. This issue affect to `raw_exec` driver, as noted in https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10430 .
We fix this issue by ensuring that the TaskRunner only calls `driver.WaitTask` once. The TaskRunner monitors the completion of the task by calling `driver.WaitTask` which should return the task exit code on completion. However, it also could return a "context canceled" error if the agent/executor is shutdown.
Previously, when a task is to be stopped, the killTask path makes two WaitTask calls, and the second returns "context canceled" occasionally because of a "race" in task shutting down and depending on driver, and how fast it shuts down after task completes.
By having a single WaitTask call and consistently waiting for the task, we ensure we capture the exit code reliably before the executor is shutdown or the contexts expired.
I opted to change the TaskRunner implementation to avoid changing the driver interface or requiring 3rd party drivers to update.
Additionally, the PR ensures that attempts to kill the task terminate when the task "naturally" dies. Without this change, if the task dies at the right moment, the `killTask` call may retry to kill an already-dead task for up to 5 minutes before giving up.
This PR adds the common OSS changes for adding support for Consul Namespaces,
which is going to be a Nomad Enterprise feature. There is no new functionality
provided by this changeset and hopefully no new bugs.
Use the MemoryMaxMB as the LinuxResources limit. This is intended to ease
drivers implementation and adoption of the features: drivers that use
`resources.LinuxResources.MemoryLimitBytes` don't need to be updated.
Drivers that use NomadResources will need to updated to track the new
field value. Given that tasks aren't guaranteed to use up the excess
memory limit, this is a reasonable compromise.
