This PR tweaks the TestCpusetManager_AddAlloc unit test to not break
when being run on a machine using cgroupsv2. The behavior of writing
an empty cpuset.cpu changes in cgroupv2, where such a group now inherits
the value of its parent group, rather than remaining empty.
The test in question was written such that a task would consume all available
cores shared on an alloc, causing the empty set to be written to the shared
group, which works fine on cgroupsv1 but breaks on cgroupsv2. By adjusting
the test to consume only 1 core instead of all cores, it no longer triggers
that edge case.
The actual fix for the new cgroupsv2 behavior will be in #11933
on Linux systems this is derived from the configure cpuset cgroup parent (defaults to /nomad)
for non Linux systems and Linux systems where cgroups are not enabled, the client defaults to using all cores
Although this operation is safe on linux, it is not safe on Windows when
using the named pipe interface. To provide a ~reasonable common api
abstraction, here we switch to returning File exists errors on the unix
api.
On unix platforms, it is safe to re-open fifo's for reading after the
first creation if the file is already a fifo, however this is not
possible on windows where this triggers a permissions error on the
socket path, as you cannot recreate it.
We can't transparently handle this in the CreateAndRead handle, because
the Access Is Denied error is too generic to reliably be an IO error.
Instead, we add an explict API for opening a reader to an existing FIFO,
and check to see if the fifo already exists inside the calling package
(e.g logmon)
This PR switches to using plain fifo files instead of golang structs
managed by containerd/fifo library.
The library main benefit is management of opening fifo files. In Linux,
a reader `open()` request would block until a writer opens the file (and
vice-versa). The library uses goroutines so that it's the first IO
operation that blocks.
This benefit isn't really useful for us: Given that logmon simply
streams output in a separate process, blocking of opening or first read
is effectively the same.
The library additionally makes further complications for managing state
and tracking read/write permission that seems overhead for our use,
compared to using a file directly.
Looking here, I made the following incidental changes:
* document that we do handle if fifo files are already created, as we
rely on that behavior for logmon restarts
* use type system to lock read vs write: currently, fifo library returns
`io.ReadWriteCloser` even if fifo is opened for writing only!
In the old code `sending` in the `send()` method shared the Data slice's
underlying backing array with its caller. Clearing StreamFrame.Data
didn't break the reference from the sent frame to the StreamFramer's
data slice.
