* allocrunner: handle lifecycle when all tasks die
When all tasks die the Coordinator must transition to its terminal
state, coordinatorStatePoststop, to unblock poststop tasks. Since this
could happen at any time (for example, a prestart task dies), all states
must be able to transition to this terminal state.
* allocrunner: implement different alloc restarts
Add a new alloc restart mode where all tasks are restarted, even if they
have already exited. Also unifies the alloc restart logic to use the
implementation that restarts tasks concurrently and ignores
ErrTaskNotRunning errors since those are expected when restarting the
allocation.
* allocrunner: allow tasks to run again
Prevent the task runner Run() method from exiting to allow a dead task
to run again. When the task runner is signaled to restart, the function
will jump back to the MAIN loop and run it again.
The task runner determines if a task needs to run again based on two new
task events that were added to differentiate between a request to
restart a specific task, the tasks that are currently running, or all
tasks that have already run.
* api/cli: add support for all tasks alloc restart
Implement the new -all-tasks alloc restart CLI flag and its API
counterpar, AllTasks. The client endpoint calls the appropriate restart
method from the allocrunner depending on the restart parameters used.
* test: fix tasklifecycle Coordinator test
* allocrunner: kill taskrunners if all tasks are dead
When all non-poststop tasks are dead we need to kill the taskrunners so
we don't leak their goroutines, which are blocked in the alloc restart
loop. This also ensures the allocrunner exits on its own.
* taskrunner: fix tests that waited on WaitCh
Now that "dead" tasks may run again, the taskrunner Run() method will
not return when the task finishes running, so tests must wait for the
task state to be "dead" instead of using the WaitCh, since it won't be
closed until the taskrunner is killed.
* tests: add tests for all tasks alloc restart
* changelog: add entry for #14127
* taskrunner: fix restore logic.
The first implementation of the task runner restore process relied on
server data (`tr.Alloc().TerminalStatus()`) which may not be available
to the client at the time of restore.
It also had the incorrect code path. When restoring a dead task the
driver handle always needs to be clear cleanly using `clearDriverHandle`
otherwise, after exiting the MAIN loop, the task may be killed by
`tr.handleKill`.
The fix is to store the state of the Run() loop in the task runner local
client state: if the task runner ever exits this loop cleanly (not with
a shutdown) it will never be able to run again. So if the Run() loops
starts with this local state flag set, it must exit early.
This local state flag is also being checked on task restart requests. If
the task is "dead" and its Run() loop is not active it will never be
able to run again.
* address code review requests
* apply more code review changes
* taskrunner: add different Restart modes
Using the task event to differentiate between the allocrunner restart
methods proved to be confusing for developers to understand how it all
worked.
So instead of relying on the event type, this commit separated the logic
of restarting an taskRunner into two methods:
- `Restart` will retain the current behaviour and only will only restart
the task if it's currently running.
- `ForceRestart` is the new method where a `dead` task is allowed to
restart if its `Run()` method is still active. Callers will need to
restart the allocRunner taskCoordinator to make sure it will allow the
task to run again.

This PR adds support for specifying checks in services registered to
the built-in nomad service provider.
Currently only HTTP and TCP checks are supported, though more types
could be added later.
This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1]
enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux
distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems
for Nomad users.
Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer,
but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of
a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2
this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values
must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process,
rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved
parents.
Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2
mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to
use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support
cgroups v2 are also not affected.
When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless
otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using
naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention
set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected.
Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version
which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by
Nomad.
The new cpuset management strategy fixes#11705, where docker tasks that
spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are
started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of
the leak is eliminated.

The client allocation GC API returns a misleading error message when the
allocation exists but is not yet eligible for GC. Make this clear in the error
response.
Note in the docs that the allocation will still show on the server responses.
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'.
Fix a bug where a millicious user can access or manipulate an alloc in a
namespace they don't have access to. The allocation endpoints perform
ACL checks against the request namespace, not the allocation namespace,
and performs the allocation lookup independently from namespaces.
Here, we check that the requested can access the alloc namespace
regardless of the declared request namespace.
Ideally, we'd enforce that the declared request namespace matches
the actual allocation namespace. Unfortunately, we haven't documented
alloc endpoints as namespaced functions; we suspect starting to enforce
this will be very disruptive and inappropriate for a nomad point
release. As such, we maintain current behavior that doesn't require
passing the proper namespace in request. A future major release may
start enforcing checking declared namespace.
This exposes a client flag to disable nomad remote exec support in
environments where access to tasks ought to be restricted.
I used `disable_remote_exec` client flag that defaults to allowing
remote exec. Opted for a client config that can be used to disable
remote exec globally, or to a subset of the cluster if necessary.
This command will be used to send a signal to either a single task within an
allocation, or all of the tasks if <task-name> is omitted. If the sent signal
terminates the allocation, it will be treated as if the allocation has crashed,
rather than as if it was operator-terminated.
Signal validation is currently handled by the driver itself and nomad
does not attempt to restrict or validate them.
This adds a `nomad alloc restart` command and api that allows a job operator
with the alloc-lifecycle acl to perform an in-place restart of a Nomad
allocation, or a given subtask.
