Fixes#10200
**The bug**
A user reported receiving the following error when an alloc was placed
that needed to preempt existing allocs:
```
[ERROR] client.alloc_watcher: error querying previous alloc:
alloc_id=28... previous_alloc=8e... error="rpc error: alloc lookup
failed: index error: UUID must be 36 characters"
```
The previous alloc (8e) was already complete on the client. This is
possible if an alloc stops *after* the scheduling decision was made to
preempt it, but *before* the node running both allocations was able to
pull and start the preemptor. While that is hopefully a narrow window of
time, you can expect it to occur in high throughput batch scheduling
heavy systems.
However the RPC error made no sense! `previous_alloc` in the logs was a
valid 36 character UUID!
**The fix**
The fix is:
```
- prevAllocID: c.Alloc.PreviousAllocation,
+ prevAllocID: watchedAllocID,
```
The alloc watcher new func used for preemption improperly referenced
Alloc.PreviousAllocation instead of the passed in watchedAllocID. When
multiple allocs are preempted, a watcher is created for each with
watchedAllocID set properly by the caller. In this case
Alloc.PreviousAllocation="" -- which is where the `UUID must be 36 characters`
error was coming from! Sadly we were properly referencing
watchedAllocID in the log, so it made the error make no sense!
**The repro**
I was able to reproduce this with a dev agent with [preemption enabled](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-preempt-hcl)
and [lowered limits](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-limits-hcl)
for ease of repro.
First I started a [low priority count 3 job](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-preempt-lo-nomad),
then a [high priority job](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-preempt-hi-nomad)
that evicts 2 low priority jobs. Everything worked as expected.
However if I force it to use the [remotePrevAlloc implementation](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/v1.3.0-beta.1/client/allocwatcher/alloc_watcher.go#L147),
it reproduces the bug because the watcher references PreviousAllocation
instead of watchedAllocID.
Fixes#2522
Skip embedding client.alloc_dir when building chroot. If a user
configures a Nomad client agent so that the chroot_env will embed the
client.alloc_dir, Nomad will happily infinitely recurse while building
the chroot until something horrible happens. The best case scenario is
the filesystem's path length limit is hit. The worst case scenario is
disk space is exhausted.
A bad agent configuration will look something like this:
```hcl
data_dir = "/tmp/nomad-badagent"
client {
enabled = true
chroot_env {
# Note that the source matches the data_dir
"/tmp/nomad-badagent" = "/ohno"
# ...
}
}
```
Note that `/ohno/client` (the state_dir) will still be created but not
`/ohno/alloc` (the alloc_dir).
While I cannot think of a good reason why someone would want to embed
Nomad's client (and possibly server) directories in chroots, there
should be no cause for harm. chroots are only built when Nomad runs as
root, and Nomad disables running exec jobs as root by default. Therefore
even if client state is copied into chroots, it will be inaccessible to
tasks.
Skipping the `data_dir` and `{client,server}.state_dir` is possible, but
this PR attempts to implement the minimum viable solution to reduce risk
of unintended side effects or bugs.
When running tests as root in a vm without the fix, the following error
occurs:
```
=== RUN TestAllocDir_SkipAllocDir
alloc_dir_test.go:520:
Error Trace: alloc_dir_test.go:520
Error: Received unexpected error:

Also removed unused Copy methods on AllocDir and TaskDir structs.
Thanks to @eveld for not letting me forget about this!
* Stopping an alloc is implemented via Updates but update hooks are
*not* run.
* Destroying an alloc is a best effort cleanup.
* AllocRunner destroy hooks implemented.
* Disk migration and blocking on a previous allocation exiting moved to
its own package to avoid cycles. Now only depends on alloc broadcaster
instead of also using a waitch.
* AllocBroadcaster now only drops stale allocations and always keeps the
latest version.
* Made AllocDir safe for concurrent use
Lots of internal contexts that are currently unused. Unsure if they
should be used or removed.
