Nomad communicates with CSI plugin tasks via gRPC. The plugin
supervisor hook uses this to ping the plugin for health checks which
it emits as task events. After the first successful health check the
plugin supervisor registers the plugin in the client's dynamic plugin
registry, which in turn creates a CSI plugin manager instance that has
its own gRPC client for fingerprinting the plugin and sending mount
requests.
If the plugin manager instance fails to connect to the plugin on its
first attempt, it exits. The plugin supervisor hook is unaware that
connection failed so long as its own pings continue to work. A
transient failure during plugin startup may mislead the plugin
supervisor hook into thinking the plugin is up (so there's no need to
restart the allocation) but no fingerprinter is started.
* Refactors the gRPC client to connect on first use. This provides the
plugin manager instance the ability to retry the gRPC client
connection until success.
* Add a 30s timeout to the plugin supervisor so that we don't poll
forever waiting for a plugin that will never come back up.
Minor improvements:
* The plugin supervisor hook creates a new gRPC client for every probe
and then throws it away. Instead, reuse the client as we do for the
plugin manager.
* The gRPC client constructor has a 1 second timeout. Clarify that this
timeout applies to the connection and not the rest of the client
lifetime.
* driver: fix integer conversion error
The shared executor incorrectly parsed the user's group into int32 and
then cast to uint32 without bounds checking. This is harmless because
an out-of-bounds gid will throw an error later, but it triggers
security and code quality scans. Parse directly to uint32 so that we
get correct error handling.
* helper: fix integer conversion error
The autopilot flags helper incorrectly parses a uint64 to a uint which
is machine specific size. Although we don't have 32-bit builds, this
sets off security and code quality scaans. Parse to the machine sized
uint.
* driver: restrict bounds of port map
The plugin server doesn't constrain the maximum integer for port
maps. This could result in a user-visible misconfiguration, but it
also triggers security and code quality scans. Restrict the bounds
before casting to int32 and return an error.
* cpuset: restrict upper bounds of cpuset values
Our cpuset configuration expects values in the range of uint16 to
match the expectations set by the kernel, but we don't constrain the
values before downcasting. An underflow could lead to allocations
failing on the client rather than being caught earlier. This also make
security and code quality scanners happy.
* http: fix integer downcast for per_page parameter
The parser for the `per_page` query parameter downcasts to int32
without bounds checking. This could result in underflow and
nonsensical paging, but there's no server-side consequences for
this. Fixing this will silence some security and code quality scanners
though.
Fixes#2522
Skip embedding client.alloc_dir when building chroot. If a user
configures a Nomad client agent so that the chroot_env will embed the
client.alloc_dir, Nomad will happily infinitely recurse while building
the chroot until something horrible happens. The best case scenario is
the filesystem's path length limit is hit. The worst case scenario is
disk space is exhausted.
A bad agent configuration will look something like this:
```hcl
data_dir = "/tmp/nomad-badagent"
client {
enabled = true
chroot_env {
# Note that the source matches the data_dir
"/tmp/nomad-badagent" = "/ohno"
# ...
}
}
```
Note that `/ohno/client` (the state_dir) will still be created but not
`/ohno/alloc` (the alloc_dir).
While I cannot think of a good reason why someone would want to embed
Nomad's client (and possibly server) directories in chroots, there
should be no cause for harm. chroots are only built when Nomad runs as
root, and Nomad disables running exec jobs as root by default. Therefore
even if client state is copied into chroots, it will be inaccessible to
tasks.
Skipping the `data_dir` and `{client,server}.state_dir` is possible, but
this PR attempts to implement the minimum viable solution to reduce risk
of unintended side effects or bugs.
When running tests as root in a vm without the fix, the following error
occurs:
```

Also removed unused Copy methods on AllocDir and TaskDir structs.
Thanks to @eveld for not letting me forget about this!
Add a new hostname string parameter to the network block which
allows operators to specify the hostname of the network namespace.
Changing this causes a destructive update to the allocation and it
is omitted if empty from API responses. This parameter also supports
interpolation.
In order to have a hostname passed as a configuration param when
creating an allocation network, the CreateNetwork func of the
DriverNetworkManager interface needs to be updated. In order to
minimize the disruption of future changes, rather than add another
string func arg, the function now accepts a request struct along with
the allocID param. The struct has the hostname as a field.
The in-tree implementations of DriverNetworkManager.CreateNetwork
have been modified to account for the function signature change.
In updating for the change, the enhancement of adding hostnames to
network namespaces has also been added to the Docker driver, whilst
the default Linux manager does not current implement it.
When `network.mode = "bridge"`, we create a pause container in Docker with no
networking so that we have a process to hold the network namespace we create
in Nomad. The default `/etc/hosts` file of that pause container is then used
for all the Docker tasks that share that network namespace. Some applications
rely on this file being populated.
This changeset generates a `/etc/hosts` file and bind-mounts it to the
container when Nomad owns the network, so that the container's hostname has an
IP in the file as expected. The hosts file will include the entries added by
the Docker driver's `extra_hosts` field.
In this changeset, only the Docker task driver will take advantage of this
option, as the `exec`/`java` drivers currently copy the host's `/etc/hosts`
file and this can't be changed without breaking backwards compatibility. But
the fields are available in the task driver protobuf for community task
drivers to use if they'd like.
When `nomad volume create` was introduced in Nomad 1.1.0, we changed the
volume spec to take a list of capabilities rather than a single capability, to
meet the requirements of the CSI spec. When a volume is registered via `nomad
volume register`, we should be using the same fields to validate the volume
with the controller plugin.
Include the VolumeCapability.MountVolume data in
ControllerPublishVolume, CreateVolume, and ValidateVolumeCapabilities
RPCs sent to the CSI controller. The previous behavior was to only
include the MountVolume capability in the NodeStageVolume request, which
on some CSI implementations would be rejected since the Volume was not
originally provisioned with the specific mount capabilities requested.
Add a new driver capability: RemoteTasks.
When a task is run by a driver with RemoteTasks set, its TaskHandle will
be propagated to the server in its allocation's TaskState. If the task
is replaced due to a down node or draining, its TaskHandle will be
propagated to its replacement allocation.
This allows tasks to be scheduled in remote systems whose lifecycles are
disconnected from the Nomad node's lifecycle.
See https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-ecs for an example ECS
remote task driver.
The AWS EBS CSI plugin was observed to return a EOF when we get to the end of
the paging for `ListSnapshots`, counter to specification. Handle this case
gracefully, including for `ListVolumes` (which EBS doesn't support but has
similar semantics).
Also fixes a timestamp formatting bug on `ListSnapshots`
In order to support new node RPCs, we need to fingerprint plugin capabilities
in more detail. This changeset mirrors recent work to fingerprint controller
capabilities, but is not yet in use by any Nomad RPC.
In order to support new controller RPCs, we need to fingerprint volume
capabilities in more detail and perform controller RPCs only when the specific
capability is present. This fixes a bug in Ceph support where the plugin can
only suport create/delete but we assume that it also supports attach/detach.
Note that unset proto fields for volume create should be nil. The CSI spec
handles empty fields and nil fields in the protobuf differently, which may
result in validation failures for creating volumes with no prior source (and
does in testing with the AWS EBS plugin). Refactor the `CreateVolumeRequest`
mapping to the protobuf in the plugin client to avoid this bug.
* Throw away result of multierror.Append
When given a *multierror.Error, it is mutated, therefore the return
value is not needed.
* Simplify MergeMultierrorWarnings, use StringBuilder
* Hash.Write() never returns an error
* Remove error that was always nil
* Remove error from Resources.Add signature
When this was originally written it could return an error, but that was
refactored away, and callers of it as of today never handle the error.
* Throw away results of io.Copy during Bridge
* Handle errors when computing node class in test
Use targetted ignore comments for the cases where we are bound by
backward compatibility.
I've left some file based linters, especially when the file is riddled
with linter voilations (e.g. enum names), or if it's a property of the
file (e.g. package and file names).
I encountered an odd behavior related to RPC_REQUEST_RESPONSE_UNIQUE and
RPC_REQUEST_STANDARD_NAME. Apparently, if they target a `stream` type,
we must separate them into separate lines so that the ignore comment
targets the type specifically.
Fix#9210 .
This update the executor so it honors the User when using nomad alloc exec. The bug was that the exec task didn't honor the init command when execing.
Previously, it was required that you `go get github.com/hashicorp/nomad` to be
able to build protos, as the protoc invocation added an include directive that
pointed to `$GOPATH/src`, which is how dependent protos were discovered. As
Nomad now uses Go modules, it won't necessarily be cloned to `$GOPATH`.
(Additionally, if you _had_ go-gotten Nomad at some point, protoc compilation
would have possibly used the _wrong_ protos, as those wouldn't necessarily be
the most up-to-date ones.)
This change modifies the proto files and the `protoc` invocation to handle
discovering dependent protos via protoc plugin modifier statements that are
specific to the protoc plugin being used.
In this change, `make proto` was run to recompile the protos, which results in
changes only to the gzipped `FileDescriptorProto`.
The CSI specification for `ValidateVolumeCapability` says that we shall
"reconcile successful capability-validation responses by comparing the
validated capabilities with those that it had originally requested" but leaves
the details of that reconcilation unspecified. This API is not implemented in
Kubernetes, so controller plugins don't have a real-world implementation to
verify their behavior against.
We have found that CSI plugins in the wild may return "successful" but
incomplete `VolumeCapability` responses, so we can't require that all
capabilities we expect have been validated, only that the ones that have been
validated match. This appears to violate the CSI specification but until
that's been resolved in upstream we have to loosen our validation
requirements. The tradeoff is that we're more likely to have runtime errors
during `NodeStageVolume` instead of at the time of volume registration.
In systemd-resolved hosts with no DNS customizations, the docker driver
DNS setting should be compared to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf while
exec/java drivers should be compared to /etc/resolv.conf.
When system-resolved is enabled, /etc/resolv.conf is a stub that points
to 127.0.0.53. Docker avoids this stub because this address isn't
accessible from the container. The exec/java drivers that don't create
network isolations use the stub though in the default configuration.
* docker: support group allocated ports
* docker: add new ports driver config to specify which group ports are mapped
* docker: update port mapping docs
When the client-side actions of a CSI client RPC succeed but we get
disconnected during the RPC or we fail to checkpoint the claim state, we want
to be able to retry the client RPC without getting blocked by the client-side
state (ex. mount points) already having been cleaned up in previous calls.
In #7957 we added support for passing a volume context to the controller RPCs.
This is an opaque map that's created by `CreateVolume` or, in Nomad's case,
in the volume registration spec.
However, we missed passing this field to the `NodeStage` and `NodePublish` RPC,
which prevents certain plugins (such as MooseFS) from making node RPCs.
This fixes few cases where driver eventor goroutines are leaked during
normal operations, but especially so in tests.
This change makes few modifications:
First, it switches drivers to use `Context`s to manage shutdown events.
Previously, it relied on callers invoking `.Shutdown()` function that is
specific to internal drivers only and require casting. Using `Contexts`
provide a consistent idiomatic way to manage lifecycle for both internal
and external drivers.
Also, I discovered few places where we don't clean up a temporary driver
instance in the plugin catalog code, where we dispense a driver to
inspect and validate the schema config without properly cleaning it up.
When an allocation runs for a task driver that can't support volume mounts,
the mounting will fail in a way that can be hard to understand. With host
volumes this usually means failing silently, whereas with CSI the operator
gets inscrutable internals exposed in the `nomad alloc status`.
This changeset adds a MountConfig field to the task driver Capabilities
response. We validate this when the `csi_hook` or `volume_hook` fires and
return a user-friendly error.
Note that we don't currently have a way to get driver capabilities up to the
server, except through attributes. Validating this when the user initially
submits the jobspec would be even better than what we're doing here (and could
be useful for all our other capabilities), but that's out of scope for this
changeset.
Also note that the MountConfig enum starts with "supports all" in order to
support community plugins in a backwards compatible way, rather than cutting
them off from volume mounting unexpectedly.
Some CSI plugins don't return much for errors over the gRPC socket
above and beyond the bare minimum error codes. This changeset improves
the operator experience by unpacking the error codes when available
and wrapping the error with some user-friendly direction.
Improving these errors also revealed a bad comparison with
`require.Error` when `require.EqualError` should be used in the test
code for plugin errors. This defect in turn was hiding a bug in volume
validation where we're being overly permissive in allowing mount
flags, which is now fixed.
