This commit implements support for creating driver mounts for CSI
Volumes.
It works by fetching the created mounts from the allocation resources
and then iterates through the volume requests, creating driver mount
configs as required.
It's a little bit messy primarily because there's _so_ much terminology
overlap and it's a bit difficult to follow.
This commit is an initial (read: janky) approach to forwarding state
from an allocrunner hook to a taskrunner using a similar `hookResources`
approach that tr's use internally.
It should eventually probably be replaced with something a little bit
more message based, but for things that only come from pre-run hooks,
and don't change, it's probably fine for now.
This commit introduces the first stage of volume mounting for an
allocation. The csimanager.VolumeMounter interface manages the blocking
and actual minutia of the CSI implementation allowing this hook to do
the minimal work of volume retrieval and creating mount info.
In the future the `CSIVolume.Get` request should be replaced by
`CSIVolume.Claim(Batch?)` to minimize the number of RPCs and to handle
external triggering of a ControllerPublishVolume request as required.
We also need to ensure that if pre-run hooks fail, we still get a full
unwinding of any publish and staged volumes to ensure that there are no hanging
references to volumes. That is not handled in this commit.
As part of introducing support for CSI, AllocRunner hooks need to be
able to communicate with Nomad Servers for validation of and interaction
with storage volumes. Here we create a small RPCer interface and pass
the client (rpc client) to the AR in preparation for making these RPCs.
When providing paths to plugins, the path needs to be in the scope of
the plugins container, rather than that of the host.
Here we enable that by providing the mount point through the plugin
registration and then use it when constructing request target paths.
This changeset is some pre-requisite boilerplate that is required for
introducing CSI volume management for client nodes.
It extracts out fingerprinting logic from the csi instance manager.
This change is to facilitate reusing the csimanager to also manage the
node-local CSI functionality, as it is the easiest place for us to
guaruntee health checking and to provide additional visibility into the
running operations through the fingerprinter mechanism and goroutine.
It also introduces the VolumeMounter interface that will be used to
manage staging/publishing unstaging/unpublishing of volumes on the host.
This changeset implements the initial registration and fingerprinting
of CSI Plugins as part of #5378. At a high level, it introduces the
following:
* A `csi_plugin` stanza as part of a Nomad task configuration, to
allow a task to expose that it is a plugin.
* A new task runner hook: `csi_plugin_supervisor`. This hook does two
things. When the `csi_plugin` stanza is detected, it will
automatically configure the plugin task to receive bidirectional
mounts to the CSI intermediary directory. At runtime, it will then
perform an initial heartbeat of the plugin and handle submitting it to
the new `dynamicplugins.Registry` for further use by the client, and
then run a lightweight heartbeat loop that will emit task events
when health changes.
* The `dynamicplugins.Registry` for handling plugins that run
as Nomad tasks, in contrast to the existing catalog that requires
`go-plugin` type plugins and to know the plugin configuration in
advance.
* The `csimanager` which fingerprints CSI plugins, in a similar way to
`drivermanager` and `devicemanager`. It currently only fingerprints
the NodeID from the plugin, and assumes that all plugins are
monolithic.
Missing features
* We do not use the live updates of the `dynamicplugin` registry in
the `csimanager` yet.
* We do not deregister the plugins from the client when they shutdown
yet, they just become indefinitely marked as unhealthy. This is
deliberate until we figure out how we should manage deploying new
versions of plugins/transitioning them.
Consul provides a feature of Service Definitions where the tags
associated with a service can be modified through the Catalog API,
overriding the value(s) configured in the agent's service configuration.
To enable this feature, the flag enable_tag_override must be configured
in the service definition.
Previously, Nomad did not allow configuring this flag, and thus the default
value of false was used. Now, it is configurable.
Because Nomad itself acts as a state machine around the the service definitions
of the tasks it manages, it's worth describing what happens when this feature
is enabled and why.
Consider the basic case where there is no Nomad, and your service is provided
to consul as a boring JSON file. The ultimate source of truth for the definition
of that service is the file, and is stored in the agent. Later, Consul performs
"anti-entropy" which synchronizes the Catalog (stored only the leaders). Then
with enable_tag_override=true, the tags field is available for "external"
modification through the Catalog API (rather than directly configuring the
service definition file, or using the Agent API). The important observation
is that if the service definition ever changes (i.e. the file is changed &
config reloaded OR the Agent API is used to modify the service), those
"external" tag values are thrown away, and the new service definition is
once again the source of truth.
In the Nomad case, Nomad itself is the source of truth over the Agent in
the same way the JSON file was the source of truth in the example above.
That means any time Nomad sets a new service definition, any externally
configured tags are going to be replaced. When does this happen? Only on
major lifecycle events, for example when a task is modified because of an
updated job spec from the 'nomad job run <existing>' command. Otherwise,
Nomad's periodic re-sync's with Consul will now no longer try to restore
the externally modified tag values (as long as enable_tag_override=true).

Re-orient the management of the tr.kill to happen in the parent of
the spawned goroutine that is doing the actual token derivation. This
makes the code a little more straightforward, making it easier to
reason about not leaking the worker goroutine.
The derivation of an SI token needs to be safegaurded by a context
timeout, otherwise an unresponsive Consul could cause the siHook
to block forever on Prestart.
Apply smaller suggestions like doc strings, variable names, etc.

The TestEnvoyBootstrapHook_maybeLoadSIToken test case only works when
running as a non-priveleged user, since it deliberately tries to read
an un-readable file to simulate a failure loading the SI token file.
Was thinking about using the testing pattern where you create executable
shell scripts as test resources which "mock" the process a bit of code
is meant to fork+exec. Turns out that wasn't really necessary in this case.
When creating the envoy bootstrap configuration, we should append
the "-token=<token>" argument in the case where the sidsHook placed
the token in the secrets directory.
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.
