The `qemu` driver uses our universal executor to run the qemu command line
tool. Because qemu owns the resource isolation, we don't pass in the resource
block that the universal executor uses to configure cgroups and core
pinning. This resulted in a panic.
Fix the panic by returning early in the cgroup configuration in the universal
executor. This fixes `qemu` but also any third-party drivers that might exist
and are using our executor code without passing in the resource block.
In future work, we should ensure that the `resources` block is being translated
into qemu equivalents, so that we have support for things like NUMA-aware
scheduling for that driver.

No functional changes, just cleaning up deprecated usages that are
removed in v2 and replace one call of .Slice with .ForEach to avoid
making the intermediate copy.
* 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
cgroupslib.MaybeDisableMemorySwappiness returned an incorrect type, and was
incorrectly typecast to int64 causing a panic on non-linux and non-windows hosts.
We use capped exponential backoff in several places in the code when handling
failures. The code we've copy-and-pasted all over has a check to see if the
backoff is greater than the limit, but this check happens after the bitshift and
we always increment the number of attempts. This causes an overflow with a
fairly small number of failures (ex. at one place I tested it occurs after only
24 iterations), resulting in a negative backoff which then never recovers. The
backoff becomes a tight loop consuming resources and/or DoS'ing a Nomad RPC
handler or an external API such as Vault. Note this doesn't occur in places
where we cap the number of iterations so the loop breaks (usually to return an
error), so long as the number of iterations is reasonable.
Introduce a helper with a check on the cap before the bitshift to avoid overflow in all
places this can occur.

Although nomad officially does not support running the client as a non-root
user, doing so has been more or less possible with the raw_exec driver as
long as you don't expect features to work like networking or running tasks
as specific users. In the cgroups refactoring I bulldozed right over the
special casing we had in place for raw_exec to continue working if the cgroups
were unable to be created. This PR restores that behavior - you can now
(as before) run the nomad client as a non-root user and make use of the
raw_exec task driver.
This directory and its subdirectories (packages) contain files licensed with the MPLv2 `LICENSE` file in this directory and are intentionally licensed separately from the BSL `LICENSE` file at the root of this repository.
Before this commit, it was only used for fingerprinting, but not
for CPU stats on nodes or tasks. This meant that if the
auto-detection failed, setting the cpu_total_compute didn't resolved
the issue.
This issue was most noticeable on ARM64, as there auto-detection
always failed.
* drivers/docker: refactor use of clients in docker driver
This PR refactors how we manage the two underlying clients used by the
docker driver for communicating with the docker daemon. We keep two clients
- one with a hard-coded timeout that applies to all operations no matter
what, intended for use with short lived / async calls to docker. The other
has no timeout and is the responsibility of the caller to set a context
that will ensure the call eventually terminates.
The use of these two clients has been confusing and mistakes were made
in a number of places where calls were making use of the wrong client.
This PR makes it so that a user must explicitly call a function to get
the client that makes sense for that use case.
Fixes#17023
* cr: followup items
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: do not disable memory swappiness if kernel does not support it
This PR adds a workaround for very old Linux kernels which do not support
the memory swappiness interface file. Normally we write a "0" to the file
to explicitly disable swap. In the case the kernel does not support it,
give libcontainer a nil value so it does not write anything.

This PR fixes a bug where the docker network pause container would not be
stopped and removed in the case where a node is restarted, the alloc is
moved to another node, the node comes back up. See the issue below for
full repro conditions.
Basically in the DestroyNetwork PostRun hook we would depend on the
NetworkIsolationSpec field not being nil - which is only the case
if the Client stays alive all the way from network creation to network
teardown. If the node is rebooted we lose that state and previously
would not be able to find the pause container to remove. Now, we manually
find the pause container by scanning them and looking for the associated
allocID.

* "allow" (don't try to drop) linux capabilities
in the docker test driver harness (see #15181)

since windows containers need to be the same
version as the underlying OS, and we're
moving from 2016 to 2019
* one docker test was flaky from apparently
being a bit slower on windows, so add Wait()
On Windows the executor returns an error when trying to open the `NUL` device
when we pass it `os.DevNull` for the stdout/stderr paths. Instead of opening the
device, use the discard pipe so that we have platform-specific behavior from the
executor itself.
Fixes: #17148
The `DisableLogCollection` capability was introduced as an experimental
interface for the Docker driver in 0.10.4. The interface has been stable and
allowing third-party task drivers the same capability would be useful for those
drivers that don't need the additional overhead of logmon.
This PR only makes the capability public. It doesn't yet add it to the
configuration options for the other internal drivers.
Fixes: #14636#15686
Tools like `nomad-nodesim` are unable to implement a minimal implementation of
an allocrunner so that we can test the client communication without having to
lug around the entire allocrunner/taskrunner code base. The allocrunner was
implemented with an interface specifically for this purpose, but there were
circular imports that made it challenging to use in practice.
Move the AllocRunner interface into an inner package and provide a factory
function type. Provide a minimal test that exercises the new function so that
consumers have some idea of what the minimum implementation required is.
While working on client status update improvements, I encountered problems
getting tests with the mock driver to correctly restore.
Unlike typical drivers the mock driver doesn't have an external source of truth
for whether the task is running (ex. making API calls to `dockerd` or looking
for a running PID), and so in order to make up that information, it re-parses
the original task config. But the taskrunner doesn't call the encoding step for
`RecoverTask`, only `StartTask`, so the task config the mock driver gets is
missing data.
Update the mock driver to stash the "external" state in the task state that
we'll get from the task runner, so that we don't have to try to recover from the
original `TaskConfig` anymore. This should bring the mock driver closer to the
behavior of the other drivers.
Some Nomad users ship application logs out-of-band via syslog. For these users
having `logmon` (and `docker_logger`) running is unnecessary overhead. Allow
disabling the logmon and pointing the task's stdout/stderr to /dev/null.
This changeset is the first of several incremental improvements to log
collection short of full-on logging plugins. The next step will likely be to
extend the internal-only task driver configuration so that cluster
administrators can turn off log collection for the entire driver.

* [no ci] deps: update docker to 23.0.3
This PR brings our docker/docker dependency (which is hosted at github.com/moby/moby)
up to 23.0.3 (forward about 2 years). Refactored our use of docker/libnetwork to
reference the package in its new home, which is docker/docker/libnetwork (it is
no longer an independent repository). Some minor nearby test case cleanup as well.
* add cl
When we added recovery of pause containers in #16352 we called the recovery
function from the plugin factory function. But in our plugin setup protocol, a
plugin isn't ready for use until we call `SetConfig`. This meant that
recovering pause containers was always done with the default
config. Setting up the Docker client only happens once, so setting the wrong
config in the recovery function also means that all other Docker API calls will
use the default config.
Move the `recoveryPauseContainers` call into the `SetConfig`. Fix the error
handling so that we return any error but also don't log when the context is
canceled, which happens twice during normal startup as we fingerprint the
driver.
Currently, the `exec` driver is only setting the Bounding set, which is
not sufficient to actually enable the requisite capabilities for the
task process. In order for the capabilities to survive `execve`
performed by libcontainer, the `Permitted`, `Inheritable`, and `Ambient`
sets must also be set.
Per CAPABILITIES (7):
> Ambient: This is a set of capabilities that are preserved across an
> execve(2) of a program that is not privileged. The ambient capability
> set obeys the invariant that no capability can ever be ambient if it
> is not both permitted and inheritable.
* client/fingerprint: correctly fingerprint E/P cores of Apple Silicon chips
This PR adds detection of asymetric core types (Power & Efficiency) (P/E)
when running on M1/M2 Apple Silicon CPUs. This functionality is provided
by shoenig/go-m1cpu which makes use of the Apple IOKit framework to read
undocumented registers containing CPU performance data. Currently working
on getting that functionality merged upstream into gopsutil, but gopsutil
would still not support detecting P vs E cores like this PR does.
Also refactors the CPUFingerprinter code to handle the mixed core
types, now setting power vs efficiency cpu attributes.
For now the scheduler is still unaware of mixed core types - on Apple
platforms tasks cannot reserve cores anyway so it doesn't matter, but
at least now the total CPU shares available will be correct.
Future work should include adding support for detecting P/E cores on
the latest and upcoming Intel chips, where computation of total cpu shares
is currently incorrect. For that, we should also include updating the
scheduler to be core-type aware, so that tasks of resources.cores on Linux
platforms can be assigned the correct number of CPU shares for the core
type(s) they have been assigned.

This PR modifies the docker driver to behave like exec when being run

of how cpu resources are managed by the Nomad client, the nomad agent
must be run as root to manage docker-created cgroups.

This PR changes our call of docker client RemoveImage() to RemoveImageExtended with

stopped containers; it does not affect running workloads.
* docker: add note about image_delay and multiple tags

Currently infra containers are not cleaned up as part of the dangling container

This PR modifies the configuration of the networking pause contaier to include
the "unless-stopped" restart policy. The pause container should always be
restored into a running state until Nomad itself issues a stop command for the
container.
This is not a _perfect_ fix for #12216 but it should cover the 99% use case -
where a pause container gets accidently stopped / killed for some reason. There
is still a possibility where the pause container and main task container are
stopped and started in the order where the bad behavior persists, but this is
fundamentally unavoidable due to how docker itself abstracts and manages the
underlying network namespace referenced by the containers.
Closes#12216
The exec driver and other drivers derived from the shared executor check the
path of the command before handing off to libcontainer to ensure that the
command doesn't escape the sandbox. But we don't check any host volume mounts,
which should be safe to use as a source for executables if we're letting the
user mount them to the container in the first place.
Check the mount config to verify the executable lives in the mount's host path,
but then return an absolute path within the mount's task path so that we can hand
that off to libcontainer to run.
Includes a good bit of refactoring here because the anchoring of the final task
path has different code paths for inside the task dir vs inside a mount. But
I've fleshed out the test coverage of this a good bit to ensure we haven't
created any regressions in the process.
