Receiving an "acl not found" error from an RPC in the agent cache and the
streaming/event components will cause any request loops to cease under the
assumption that they will never work again if the token was destroyed. This
prevents log spam (#14144, #9738).
Unfortunately due to things like:
- authz requests going to stale servers that may not have witnessed the token
creation yet
- authz requests in a secondary datacenter happening before the tokens get
replicated to that datacenter
- authz requests from a primary TO a secondary datacenter happening before the
tokens get replicated to that datacenter
The caller will get an "acl not found" *before* the token exists, rather than
just after. The machinery added above in the linked PRs will kick in and
prevent the request loop from looping around again once the tokens actually
exist.
For `consul-dataplane` usages, where xDS is served by the Consul servers
rather than the clients ultimately this is not a problem because in that
scenario the `agent/proxycfg` machinery is on-demand and launched by a new xDS
stream needing data for a specific service in the catalog. If the watching
goroutines are terminated it ripples down and terminates the xDS stream, which
CDP will eventually re-establish and restart everything.
For Consul client usages, the `agent/proxycfg` machinery is ahead-of-time
launched at service registration time (called "local" in some of the proxycfg
machinery) so when the xDS stream comes in the data is already ready to go. If
the watching goroutines terminate it should terminate the xDS stream, but
there's no mechanism to re-spawn the watching goroutines. If the xDS stream
reconnects it will see no `ConfigSnapshot` and will not get one again until
the client agent is restarted, or the service is re-registered with something
changed in it.
This PR fixes a few things in the machinery:
- there was an inadvertent deadlock in fetching snapshot from the proxycfg
machinery by xDS, such that when the watching goroutine terminated the
snapshots would never be fetched. This caused some of the xDS machinery to
get indefinitely paused and not finish the teardown properly.
- Every 30s we now attempt to re-insert all locally registered services into
the proxycfg machinery.
- When services are re-inserted into the proxycfg machinery we special case
"dead" ones such that we unilaterally replace them rather that doing that
conditionally.
