If a volume-claiming alloc stops and the CSI Node plugin that serves
that alloc's volumes is missing, there's no way for the allocrunner
hook to send the `NodeUnpublish` and `NodeUnstage` RPCs.
This changeset addresses this issue with a redesign of the client-side
for CSI. Rather than unmounting in the alloc runner hook, the alloc
runner hook will simply exit. When the server gets the
`Node.UpdateAlloc` for the terminal allocation that had a volume claim,
it creates a volume claim GC job. This job will made client RPCs to a
new node plugin RPC endpoint, and only once that succeeds, move on to
making the client RPCs to the controller plugin. If the node plugin is
unavailable, the GC job will fail and be requeued.
Currently the handling of CSINode RPCs does not correctly handle
forwarding RPCs to Nodes.
This commit fixes this by introducing a shim RPC
(nomad/client_csi_enpdoint) that will correctly forward the request to
the owning node, or submit the RPC to the client.
In the process it also cleans up handling a little bit by adding the
`CSIControllerQuery` embeded struct for required forwarding state.
The CSIControllerQuery embeding the requirement of a `PluginID` also
means we could move node targetting into the shim RPC if wanted in the
future.
This change updates tests to honor `BootstrapExpect` exclusively when
forming test clusters and removes test only knobs, e.g.
`config.DevDisableBootstrap`.
Background:
Test cluster creation is fragile. Test servers don't follow the
BootstapExpected route like production clusters. Instead they start as
single node clusters and then get rejoin and may risk causing brain
split or other test flakiness.
The test framework expose few knobs to control those (e.g.
`config.DevDisableBootstrap` and `config.Bootstrap`) that control
whether a server should bootstrap the cluster. These flags are
confusing and it's unclear when to use: their usage in multi-node
cluster isn't properly documented. Furthermore, they have some bad
side-effects as they don't control Raft library: If
`config.DevDisableBootstrap` is true, the test server may not
immediately attempt to bootstrap a cluster, but after an election
timeout (~50ms), Raft may force a leadership election and win it (with
only one vote) and cause a split brain.
The knobs are also confusing as Bootstrap is an overloaded term. In
BootstrapExpect, we refer to bootstrapping the cluster only after N
servers are connected. But in tests and the knobs above, it refers to
whether the server is a single node cluster and shouldn't wait for any
other server.
Changes:
This commit makes two changes:
First, it relies on `BootstrapExpected` instead of `Bootstrap` and/or
`DevMode` flags. This change is relatively trivial.
Introduce a `Bootstrapped` flag to track if the cluster is bootstrapped.
This allows us to keep `BootstrapExpected` immutable. Previously, the
flag was a config value but it gets set to 0 after cluster bootstrap
completes.
Nomad jobs may be configured with a TaskGroup which contains a Service
definition that is Consul Connect enabled. These service definitions end
up establishing a Consul Connect Proxy Task (e.g. envoy, by default). In
the case where Consul ACLs are enabled, a Service Identity token is required
for these tasks to run & connect, etc. This changeset enables the Nomad Server
to recieve RPC requests for the derivation of SI tokens on behalf of instances
of Consul Connect using Tasks. Those tokens are then relayed back to the
requesting Client, which then injects the tokens in the secrets directory of
the Task.
Enable any Server to lookup the unique ClusterID. If one has not been
generated, and this node is the leader, generate a UUID and attempt to
apply it through raft.
The value is not yet used anywhere in this changeset, but is a prerequisite
for gh-6701.
Fixes a deadlock in leadership handling if leadership flapped.
Raft propagates leadership transition to Nomad through a NotifyCh channel.
Raft blocks when writing to this channel, so channel must be buffered or
aggressively consumed[1]. Otherwise, Raft blocks indefinitely in `raft.runLeader`
until the channel is consumed[1] and does not move on to executing follower
related logic (in `raft.runFollower`).
While Raft `runLeader` defer function blocks, raft cannot process any other
raft operations. For example, `run{Leader|Follower}` methods consume
`raft.applyCh`, and while runLeader defer is blocked, all raft log applications
or config lookup will block indefinitely.
Sadly, `leaderLoop` and `establishLeader` makes few Raft calls!
`establishLeader` attempts to auto-create autopilot/scheduler config [3]; and
`leaderLoop` attempts to check raft configuration [4]. All of these calls occur
without a timeout.
Thus, if leadership flapped quickly while `leaderLoop/establishLeadership` is
invoked and hit any of these Raft calls, Raft handler _deadlock_ forever.
Depending on how many times it flapped and where exactly we get stuck, I suspect
it's possible to get in the following case:
* Agent metrics/stats http and RPC calls hang as they check raft.Configurations
* raft.State remains in Leader state, and server attempts to handle RPC calls
(e.g. node/alloc updates) and these hang as well
As we create goroutines per RPC call, the number of goroutines grow over time
and may trigger a out of memory errors in addition to missed updates.

Here, we ensure that when leader only responds to RPC calls when state
store is up to date. At leadership transition or launch with restored
state, the server local store might not be caught up with latest raft
logs and may return a stale read.
The solution here is to have an RPC consistency read gate, enabled when
`establishLeadership` completes before we respond to RPC calls.
`establishLeadership` is gated by a `raft.Barrier` which ensures that
all prior raft logs have been applied.
Conversely, the gate is disabled when leadership is lost.
This is very much inspired by https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/3154/files
The old logic for cancelling duplicate blocked evaluations by job id had
the issue where the newer evaluation could have additional node classes
that it is (in)eligible for that we would not capture. This could make
it such that cluster state could change such that the job would make
progress but no evaluation was unblocked.
