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.
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.
Fixes: #9451
The `nomad tls cert` command did not create certificates with the correct SANs for
them to work with non default domain and region names. This changset updates the
code to support non default domains and regions in the certificates.
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.

* 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.
* api: avoid writing var content to disk for parsing
* api: move submission validation into RPC layer
* api: return an error if updating a job submission without namespace or job id
* api: be exact about the job index we associate a submission with (modify)
* api: reword api docs scheduling
* api: prune all but the last 6 job submissions
* api: protect against nil job submission in job validation
* api: set max job source size in test server
* api: fixups from pr
In #15417 we added a new `Authenticate` method to the server that returns an
`AuthenticatedIdentity` struct. This changeset implements this method for a
small number of RPC endpoints that together represent all the various ways in
which RPCs are sent, so that we can validate that we're happy with this
approach.
This PR solves a defect in the deserialization of api.Port structs when returning structs from theEventStream.
Previously, the api.Port struct's fields were decorated with both mapstructure and hcl tags to support the network.port stanza's use of the keyword static when posting a static port value. This works fine when posting a job and when retrieving any struct that has an embedded api.Port instance as long as the value is deserialized using JSON decoding. The EventStream, however, uses mapstructure to decode event payloads in the api package. mapstructure expects an underlying field named static which does not exist. The result was that the Port.Value field would always be set to 0.
Upon further inspection, a few things became apparent.
The struct already has hcl tags that support the indirection during job submission.
Serialization/deserialization with both the json and hcl packages produce the desired result.
The use of of the mapstructure tags provided no value as the Port struct contains only fields with primitive types.
This PR:
Removes the mapstructure tags from the api.Port structs
Updates the job parsing logic to use hcl instead of mapstructure when decoding Port instances.
Closes#11044

This PR refactors the code path in Client startup for setting up the cpuset
cgroup manager (non-linux systems not affected).
Before, there was a logic bug where we would try to read the cpuset.cpus.effective
cgroup interface file before ensuring nomad's parent cgroup existed. Therefor that
file would not exist, and the list of useable cpus would be empty. Tasks started
thereafter would not have a value set for their cpuset.cpus.
The refactoring fixes some less than ideal coding style. Instead we now bootstrap
each cpuset manager type (v1/v2) within its own constructor. If something goes
awry during bootstrap (e.g. cgroups not enabled), the constructor returns the
noop implementation and logs a warning.
Fixes#14229
Before this change, Client had 2 copies of the config object: config and configCopy. There was no guidance around which to use where (other than configCopy's comment to pass it to alloc runners), both are shared among goroutines and mutated in data racy ways. At least at one point I think the idea was to have `config` be mutable and then grab a lock to overwrite `configCopy`'s pointer atomically. This would have allowed alloc runners to read their config copies in data race safe ways, but this isn't how the current implementation worked.
This change takes the following approach to safely handling configs in the client:
1. `Client.config` is the only copy of the config and all access must go through the `Client.configLock` mutex
2. Since the mutex *only protects the config pointer itself and not fields inside the Config struct:* all config mutation must be done on a *copy* of the config, and then Client's config pointer is overwritten while the mutex is acquired. Alloc runners and other goroutines with the old config pointer will not see config updates.
3. Deep copying is implemented on the Config struct to satisfy the previous approach. The TLS Keyloader is an exception because it has its own internal locking to support mutating in place. An unfortunate complication but one I couldn't find a way to untangle in a timely fashion.
4. To facilitate deep copying I made an *internally backward incompatible API change:* our `helper/funcs` used to turn containers (slices and maps) with 0 elements into nils. This probably saves a few memory allocations but makes it very easy to cause panics. Since my new config handling approach uses more copying, it became very difficult to ensure all code that used containers on configs could handle nils properly. Since this code has caused panics in the past, I fixed it: nil containers are copied as nil, but 0-element containers properly return a new 0-element container. No more "downgrading to nil!"
* test: use `T.TempDir` to create temporary test directory
This commit replaces `ioutil.TempDir` with `t.TempDir` in tests. The
directory created by `t.TempDir` is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using `ioutil.TempDir`
needs to be removed manually by calling `os.RemoveAll`, which is omitted
in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but `t.TempDir` handles this for us nicely.

This commit performs refactoring to pull out common service
registration objects into a new `client/serviceregistration`
package. This new package will form the base point for all
client specific service registration functionality.
The Consul specific implementation is not moved as it also
includes non-service registration implementations; this reduces
the blast radius of the changes as well.
This commit includes a new test client that allows overriding the RPC
protocols. Only the RPCs that are passed in are registered, which lets you
implement a mock RPC in the server tests. This commit includes an example of
this for the ClientCSI RPC server.
Use the MemoryMaxMB as the LinuxResources limit. This is intended to ease
drivers implementation and adoption of the features: drivers that use
`resources.LinuxResources.MemoryLimitBytes` don't need to be updated.
Drivers that use NomadResources will need to updated to track the new
field value. Given that tasks aren't guaranteed to use up the excess
memory limit, this is a reasonable compromise.

As newer versions of Consul are released, the minimum version of Envoy
it supports as a sidecar proxy also gets bumped. Starting with the upcoming
Consul v1.9.X series, Envoy v1.11.X will no longer be supported. Current
versions of Nomad hardcode a version of Envoy v1.11.2 to be used as the
default implementation of Connect sidecar proxy.
This PR introduces a change such that each Nomad Client will query its
local Consul for a list of Envoy proxies that it supports (https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/8545)
and then launch the Connect sidecar proxy task using the latest supported version
of Envoy. If the `SupportedProxies` API component is not available from
Consul, Nomad will fallback to the old version of Envoy supported by old
versions of Consul.
Setting the meta configuration option `meta.connect.sidecar_image` or
setting the `connect.sidecar_task` stanza will take precedence as is
the current behavior for sidecar proxies.
Setting the meta configuration option `meta.connect.gateway_image`
will take precedence as is the current behavior for connect gateways.
`meta.connect.sidecar_image` and `meta.connect.gateway_image` may make
use of the special `${NOMAD_envoy_version}` variable interpolation, which
resolves to the newest version of Envoy supported by the Consul agent.
Addresses #8585#7665
When a job is configured with Consul Connect aware tasks (i.e. sidecar),
the Nomad Client should be able to request from Consul (through Nomad Server)
Service Identity tokens specific to those tasks.
Copy the updated version of freeport (sdk/freeport), and tweak it for use
in Nomad tests. This means staying below port 10000 to avoid conflicts with
the lib/freeport that is still transitively used by the old version of
consul that we vendor. Also provide implementations to find ephemeral ports
of macOS and Windows environments.
Ports acquired through freeport are supposed to be returned to freeport,
which this change now also introduces. Many tests are modified to include
calls to a cleanup function for Server objects.
This should help quite a bit with some flakey tests, but not all of them.
Our port problems will not go away completely until we upgrade our vendor
version of consul. With Go modules, we'll probably do a 'replace' to swap
out other copies of freeport with the one now in 'nomad/helper/freeport'.
TestClient_UpdateNodeFromFingerprintKeepsConfig checks a test node
network interface, which is hardcoded to `eth0` and is updated
asynchronously. This causes flakiness when eth0 isn't available.
Here, we hardcode the value to an arbitrary network interface.
When spinning a second client, ensure that it uses new driver
instances, rather than reuse the already shutdown unhealthy drivers from
first instance.
This speeds up tests significantly, but cutting ~50 seconds or so, the
timeout in NewClient until drivers fingerprints. They never do because
drivers were shutdown already.
TestClient_RestoreError is very slow, taking ~81 seconds.
It has few problematic patterns. It's unclear what it tests, it
simulates a failure condition where all state db lookup fails and
asserts that alloc fails. Though starting from
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/6216 , we don't fail allocs in
that condition but rather restart them.
Also, the drivers used in second client `c2` are the same singleton
instances used in `c1` and already shutdown. We ought to start healthy
new driver instances.
The ClientState being pending isn't a good criteria; as an alloc may
have been updated in-place before it was completed.
Also, updated the logic so we only check for task states. If an alloc
has deployment state but no persisted tasks at all, restore will still
fail.
This uses an alternative approach where we avoid restoring the alloc
runner in the first place, if we suspect that the alloc may have been
completed already.
- updated region in job metadata that gets persisted to nomad datastore
- fixed many unrelated unit tests that used an invalid region value
(they previously passed because hcl wasn't getting picked up and
the job would default to global region)
