In #17354 we made client updates prioritized to reduce client-to-server
traffic. When the client has no previously-acknowledged update we assume that
the update is of typical priority; although we don't know that for sure in
practice an allocation will never become healthy quickly enough that the first
update we send is the update saying the alloc is healthy.
But that doesn't account for allocations that quickly fail in an unrecoverable
way because of allocrunner hook failures, and it'd be nice to be able to send
those failure states to the server more quickly. This changeset does so and adds
some extra comments on reasoning behind priority.
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.
In Nomad 1.5.3 we fixed a security bug that allowed bypass of ACL checks if the
request came thru a client node first. But this fix broke (knowingly) the
identification of many client-to-server RPCs. These will be now measured as if
they were anonymous. The reason for this is that many client-to-server RPCs do
not send the node secret and instead rely on the protection of mTLS.
This changeset ensures that the node secret is being sent with every
client-to-server RPC request. In a future version of Nomad we can add
enforcement on the server side, but this was left out of this changeset to
reduce risks to the safe upgrade path.
Sending the node secret as an auth token introduces a new problem during initial
introduction of a client. Clients send many RPCs concurrently with
`Node.Register`, but until the node is registered the node secret is unknown to
the server and will be rejected as invalid. This causes permission denied
errors.
To fix that, this changeset introduces a gate on having successfully made a
`Node.Register` RPC before any other RPCs can be sent (except for `Status.Ping`,
which we need earlier but which also ignores the error because that handler
doesn't do an authorization check). This ensures that we only send requests with
a node secret already known to the server. This also makes client startup a
little easier to reason about because we know `Node.Register` must succeed
first, and it should make for a good place to hook in future plans for secure
introduction of nodes. The tradeoff is that an existing client that has running
allocs will take slightly longer (a second or two) to transition to ready after
a restart, because the transition in `Node.UpdateStatus` is gated at the server
by first submitting `Node.UpdateAlloc` with client alloc updates.
* 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 changeset adds the node pool as a label anywhere we're already emitting
labels with additional information such as node class or ID about the client.
Provide a no-op implementation of the drivers.DriverNetoworkManager
interface to be used by systems that don't support network isolation and
prevent panics where a network manager is expected.
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.
Fixes#17299
During shutdown of a client with drain_on_shutdown there is a race between
the Client ending the cgroup and the task's cpuset manager cleaning up
the cgroup. During the path traversal, skip anything we cannot read, which
avoids the nil DirEntry we try to dereference now.
The allocrunner sends several updates to the server during the early lifecycle
of an allocation and its tasks. Clients batch-up allocation updates every 200ms,
but experiments like the C2M challenge has shown that even with this batching,
servers can be overwhelmed with client updates during high volume
deployments. Benchmarking done in #9451 has shown that client updates can easily
represent ~70% of all Nomad Raft traffic.
Each allocation sends many updates during its lifetime, but only those that
change the `ClientStatus` field are critical for progressing a deployment or
kicking off a reschedule to recover from failures.
Add a priority to the client allocation sync and update the `syncTicker`
receiver so that we only send an update if there's a high priority update
waiting, or on every 5th tick. This means when there are no high priority
updates, the client will send updates at most every 1s instead of
200ms. Benchmarks have shown this can reduce overall Raft traffic by 10%, as
well as reduce client-to-server RPC traffic.
This changeset also switches from a channel-based collection of updates to a
shared buffer, so as to split batching from sending and prevent backpressure
onto the allocrunner when the RPC is slow. This doesn't have a major performance
benefit in the benchmarks but makes the implementation of the prioritized update
simpler.

Consul v1.13.8 was released with a breaking change in the /v1/agent/self
endpoint version where a line break was being returned.
This caused the Nomad finterprint to fail because `NewVersion` errors on

This commit removes any extra space from the Consul version returned by
the API.
The `nomad tls cert` command did not create certificates with the correct SANs for

* client: ignore restart issued to terminal allocations
This PR fixes a bug where issuing a restart to a terminal allocation
would cause the allocation to run its hooks anyway. This was particularly
apparent with group_service_hook who would then register services but
then never deregister them - as the allocation would be effectively in
a "zombie" state where it is prepped to run tasks but never will.

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.
When client nodes are restarted, all allocations that have been scheduled on the
node have their modify index updated, including terminal allocations. There are
several contributing factors:
* The `allocSync` method that updates the servers isn't gated on first contact
with the servers. This means that if a server updates the desired state while
the client is down, the `allocSync` races with the `Node.ClientGetAlloc`
RPC. This will typically result in the client updating the server with "running"
and then immediately thereafter "complete".
* The `allocSync` method unconditionally sends the `Node.UpdateAlloc` RPC even
if it's possible to assert that the server has definitely seen the client
state. The allocrunner may queue-up updates even if we gate sending them. So
then we end up with a race between the allocrunner updating its internal state
to overwrite the previous update and `allocSync` sending the bogus or duplicate
update.
This changeset adds tracking of server-acknowledged state to the
allocrunner. This state gets checked in the `allocSync` before adding the update
to the batch, and updated when `Node.UpdateAlloc` returns successfully. To
implement this we need to be able to equality-check the updates against the last
acknowledged state. We also need to add the last acknowledged state to the
client state DB, otherwise we'd drop unacknowledged updates across restarts.
The client restart test has been expanded to cover a variety of allocation
states, including allocs stopped before shutdown, allocs stopped by the server
while the client is down, and allocs that have been completely GC'd on the
server while the client is down. I've also bench tested scenarios where the task
workload is killed while the client is down, resulting in a failed restore.

When the server restarts for the upgrade, it loads the `structs.Job` from the
Raft snapshot/logs. The jobspec has long since been parsed, so none of the
guards around the default value are in play. The empty field value for `Enabled`
is the zero value, which is false.
This doesn't impact any running allocation because we don't replace running
allocations when either the client or server restart. But as soon as any
allocation gets rescheduled (ex. you drain all your clients during upgrades),
it'll be using the `structs.Job` that the server has, which has `Enabled =
false`, and logs will not be collected.
This changeset fixes the bug by adding a new field `Disabled` which defaults to
false (so that the zero value works), and deprecates the old field.

This PR does some cleanup of an old code path for versions of Consul that
did not support reporting the supported versions of Envoy in its API. Those
versions are no longer supported for years at this point, and the fallback
version of envoy hasn't been supported by any version of Consul for almost
as long. Remove this code path that is no longer useful.
This PR modifies references to the envoyproxy/envoy docker image to
explicitly include the docker.io prefix. This does not affect existing
users, but makes things easier for Podman users, who otherwise need to
specify the full name because Podman does not default to docker.io
This PR updates the envoy_bootstrap_hook to no longer disable itself if
the task driver in use is not docker. In other words, make it work for
podman and other image based task drivers. The hook now only checks that
1. the task is a connect sidecar
2. the task.config block contains an "image" field

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.

This PR eliminates code specific to looking up and caching the uid/gid/user.User
object associated with the nobody user in an init block. This code existed before
adding the generic users cache and was meant to optimize the one search path we
knew would happen often. Now that we have the cache, seems reasonable to eliminate
this init block and use the cache instead like for any other user.
Also fixes a constraint on the podman (and other) drivers, where building without
CGO became problematic on some OS like Fedora IoT where the nobody user cannot
be found with the pure-Go standard library.
Fixes github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-podman/issues/228
Adds a new configuration to clients to optionally allow them to drain their
workloads on shutdown. The client sends the `Node.UpdateDrain` RPC targeting
itself and then monitors the drain state as seen by the server until the drain
is complete or the deadline expires. If it loses connection with the server, it
will monitor local client status instead to ensure allocations are stopped
before exiting.
The first start of a Consul Connect proxy sidecar triggers a run
of the envoy_version hook which modifies the task config image
entry. The modification takes into account a number of factors to
correctly populate this. Importantly, once the hook has run, it
marks itself as done so the taskrunner will not execute it again.
When the client receives a non-destructive update for the
allocation which the proxy sidecar is a member of, it will update
and overwrite the task definition within the taskerunner. In doing
so it overwrite the modification performed by the hook. If the
allocation is restarted, the envoy_version hook will be skipped as
it previously marked itself as done, and therefore the sidecar
config image is incorrect and causes a driver error.
The fix removes the hook in marking itself as done to the view of
the taskrunner.
* api: enable support for setting original source alongside job
This PR adds support for setting job source material along with
the registration of a job.
This includes a new HTTP endpoint and a new RPC endpoint for
making queries for the original source of a job. The
HTTP endpoint is /v1/job/<id>/submission?version=<version> and
the RPC method is Job.GetJobSubmission.
The job source (if submitted, and doing so is always optional), is
stored in the job_submission memdb table, separately from the
actual job. This way we do not incur overhead of reading the large
string field throughout normal job operations.
The server config now includes job_max_source_size for configuring
the maximum size the job source may be, before the server simply
drops the source material. This should help prevent Bad Things from
happening when huge jobs are submitted. If the value is set to 0,
all job source material will be dropped.

new WaitForPlugin() called during csiHook.Prerun,
so that on startup, clients can recover running
tasks that use CSI volumes, instead of them being
terminated and rescheduled because they need a
node plugin that is "not found" *yet*, only because
the plugin task has not yet been recovered.
The `ephemeral_disk` block's `migrate` field allows for best-effort migration of
the ephemeral disk data to new nodes. The documentation says the `migrate` field
is only respected if `sticky=true`, but in fact if client ACLs are not set the
data is migrated even if `sticky=false`.
The existing behavior when client ACLs are disabled has existed since the early
implementation, so "fixing" that case now would silently break backwards
compatibility. Additionally, having `migrate` not imply `sticky` seems
nonsensical: it suggests that if we place on a new node we migrate the data but
if we place on the same node, we throw the data away!
Update so that `migrate=true` implies `sticky=true` as follows:
* The failure mode when client ACLs are enabled comes from the server not passing
along a migration token. Update the server so that the server provides a
migration token whenever `migrate=true` and not just when `sticky=true` too.
* Update the scheduler so that `migrate` implies `sticky`.
* Update the client so that we check for `migrate || sticky` where appropriate.
* Refactor the E2E tests to move them off the old framework and make the intention
of the test more clear.
The allocrunner has a facility for passing data written by allocrunner hooks to
taskrunner hooks. Currently the only consumers of this facility are the
allocrunner CSI hook (which writes data) and the taskrunner volume hook (which
reads that same data).
The allocrunner hook for CSI volumes doesn't set the alloc hook resources
atomically. Instead, it gets the current resources and then writes a new version
back. Because the CSI hook is currently the only writer and all readers happen
long afterwards, this should be safe but #16623 shows there's some sequence of
events during restore where this breaks down.
Refactor hook resources so that hook data is accessed via setters and getters
that hold the mutex.
* 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.
