From 48b9a0ff8cbbacff4028df8dbedbda1e95d1749b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: hc-github-team-consul-core Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2023 12:16:43 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Backport of Fix xDS missing endpoint race condition. into release/1.16.x (#19873) Fix xDS missing endpoint race condition. This fixes the following race condition: - Send update endpoints - Send update cluster - Recv ACK endpoints - Recv ACK cluster Prior to this fix, it would have resulted in the endpoints NOT existing in Envoy. This occurred because the cluster update implicitly clears the endpoints in Envoy, but we would never re-send the endpoint data to compensate for the loss, because we would incorrectly ACK the invalid old endpoint hash. Since the endpoint's hash did not actually change, they would not be resent. The fix for this is to effectively clear out the invalid pending ACKs for child resources whenever the parent changes. This ensures that we do not store the child's hash as accepted when the race occurs. An escape-hatch environment variable `XDS_PROTOCOL_LEGACY_CHILD_RESEND` was added so that users can revert back to the old legacy behavior in the event that this produces unknown side-effects. This bug report and fix was mostly implemented by @ksmiley with some minor tweaks.
