The driver manager is modeled after the device manager and is started by the client.
It's responsible for handling driver lifecycle and reattachment state, as well as
processing the incomming fingerprint and task events from each driver. The mananger
exposes a method for registering event handlers for task events that is used by the
task runner to update the server when a task has been updated with an event.
Since driver fingerprinting has been implemented by the driver manager, it is no
longer needed in the fingerprint mananger and has been removed.
Currently, there is a race condition between creating a taskrunner, and
updating node attributes via fingerprinting.
This is because the taskenv builder will try to iterate over the
clientconfig.Node.Attributes map, which can be concurrently updated by
the fingerprinting process, thus causing a panic.
This fixes that by providing a copy of the clientconfg to the
allocrunner inside the Read lock during config creation.
The allocLock is used to synchronize access to the alloc runner map, not
to ensure internal consistency of the alloc runners themselves. This
updates the updateAlloc process to avoid hanging on to an exclusive lock
of the map while applying changes to allocrunners themselves, as they
should be internally consistent.
This fixes a bug where any client allocation api will block during the
shutdown or updating of an allocrunner and its child taskrunners.
Fixes a bug where a driver health and attributes are never updated from
their initial status. If a driver started unhealthy, it may never go
into a healthy status.
When starting an allocation that is preempting other allocs, we create a
new group allocation watcher, and then wait for the allocations to
terminate in the allocation PreRun hooks.
If there's no preempted allocations, then we simply provide a
NoopAllocWatcher.
IOPS have been modelled as a resource since Nomad 0.1 but has never
actually been detected and there is no plan in the short term to add
detection. This is because IOPS is a bit simplistic of a unit to define
the performance requirements from the underlying storage system. In its
current state it adds unnecessary confusion and can be removed without
impacting any users. This PR leaves IOPS defined at the jobspec parsing
level and in the api/ resources since these are the two public uses of
the field. These should be considered deprecated and only exist to allow
users to stop using them during the Nomad 0.9.x release. In the future,
there should be no expectation that the field will exist.
This removes a cyclical dependency when importing client/structs from
dependencies of the plugin_loader, specifically, drivers. Due to
client/config also depending on the plugin_loader.
It also better reflects the ownership of fingerprint structs, as they
are fairly internal to the fingerprint manager.
This PR introduces a device hook that retrieves the device mount
information for an allocation. It also updates the computed node class
computation to take into account devices.
TODO Fix the task runner unit test. The environment variable is being
lost even though it is being properly set in the prestart hook.
The group utility struct does not support asynchronously launched
goroutines (goroutines-inside-of-goroutines), so switch those uses to a
normal go call.
This means watchNodeUpdates and watchNodeEvents may not be shutdown when
Shutdown() exits. During nomad agent shutdown this does not matter.
During tests this means a test may leak those goroutines or be unable to
know when those goroutines have exited.
Since there's no runtime impact and these goroutines do not affect alloc
state syncing it seems ok to risk leaking them.
This change makes few compromises:
* Looks up the devices associated with tasks at look up time. Given
that `nomad alloc status` is called rarely generally (compared to stats
telemetry and general job reporting), it seems fine. However, the
lookup overhead grows bounded by number of `tasks x total-host-devices`,
which can be significant.
* `client.Client` performs the task devices->statistics lookup. It
passes self to alloc/task runners so they can look up the device statistics
allocated to them.
* Currently alloc/task runners are responsible for constructing the
entire RPC response for stats
* The alternatives for making task runners device statistics aware
don't seem appealing (e.g. having task runners contain reference to hostStats)
* On the alloc aggregation resource usage, I did a naive merging of task device statistics.
* Personally, I question the value of such aggregation, compared to
costs of struct duplication and bloating the response - but opted to be
consistent in the API.
* With naive concatination, device instances from a single device group used by separate tasks in the alloc, would be aggregated in two separate device group statistics.
Introduce a device manager that manages the lifecycle of device plugins
on the client. It fingerprints, collects stats, and forwards Reserve
requests to the correct plugin. The manager, also handles device plugins
failing and validates their output.
* Migrated all of the old leader task tests and got them passing
* Refactor and consolidate task killing code in AR to always kill leader
tasks first
* Fixed lots of issues with state restoring
* Fixed deadlock in AR.Destroy if AR.Run had never been called
* Added a new in memory statedb for testing
The interesting decision in this commit was to expose AR's state and not
a fully materialized Allocation struct. AR.clientAlloc builds an Alloc
that contains the task state, so I considered simply memoizing and
exposing that method.
However, that would lead to AR having two awkwardly similar methods:
- Alloc() - which returns the server-sent alloc
- ClientAlloc() - which returns the fully materialized client alloc
Since ClientAlloc() could be memoized it would be just as cheap to call
as Alloc(), so why not replace Alloc() entirely?
Replacing Alloc() entirely would require Update() to immediately
materialize the task states on server-sent Allocs as there may have been
local task state changes since the server received an Alloc update.
This quickly becomes difficult to reason about: should Update hooks use
the TaskStates? Are state changes caused by TR Update hooks immediately
reflected in the Alloc? Should AR persist its copy of the Alloc? If so,
are its TaskStates canonical or the TaskStates on TR?
So! Forget that. Let's separate the static Allocation from the dynamic
AR & TR state!
- AR.Alloc() is for static Allocation access (often for the Job)
- AR.AllocState() is for the dynamic AR & TR runtime state (deployment
status, task states, etc).
If code needs to know the status of a task: AllocState()
If code needs to know the names of tasks: Alloc()
It should be very easy for a developer to reason about which method they
should call and what they can do with the return values.
