Nomad servers can advertise independent IP addresses for `serf` and
`rpc`. Somewhat unexpectedly, the `serf` address is also used for both Serf and
server-to-server RPC communication (including Raft RPC). The address advertised
for `rpc` is only used for client-to-server RPC. This split was introduced
intentionally in Nomad 0.8.
When clients are using Consul discovery for connecting to servers, they get an
initial discovery set from Consul and use the correct `rpc` tag in Consul to get
a list of adddresses for servers. The client then makes a `Status.Peers` RPC to
get the list of those servers that are raft peers. But this endpoint is shared
between servers and clients, and provides the address used for Raft.
Most of the time this is harmless because servers will bind on 0.0.0.0 anyways.,
But in topologies where servers are on a private network and clients are on
separate subnets (or even public subnets), clients will make initial contact
with the server to get the list of peers but then populate their local server
set with unreachable addresses.
Cluster administrators can work around this problem by using `server_join` with
specific IP addresses (or DNS names), because the `Node.UpdateStatus` endpoint
returns the correct set of RPC addresses when updating the node. So once a
client has registered, it will get the correct set of RPC addresses.
This changeset updates the client logic to query `Status.Members` instead of
`Status.Peers`, and then extract the correctly advertised address and port from
the response body.
This change resolves policies for workload identities when calling Client RPCs. Previously only ACL tokens could be used for Client RPCs.
Since the same cache is used for both bearer tokens (ACL and Workload ID), the token cache size was doubled.

The `TaskUpdateRequest` struct we send to task runner update hooks was not
populating the Nomad token that we get from the task runner (which we do for the
Vault token). This results in task runner hooks like the template hook
overwriting the Nomad token with the zero value for the token. This causes
in-place updates of a task to break templates (but not other uses that rely on
identity but don't currently bother to update it, like the identity hook).
This PR fixes a bug where the task group information was not being set
on the serviceHook.AllocInfo struct, which is needed later on for calculating
the CheckID of a nomad service check. The CheckID is calculated independently
from multiple callsites, and the information being passed in must be consistent,
including the group name.
The workload.AllocInfo.Group was not set at this callsite, due to the bug fixed in this PR.

When the template hook Update() method is called it may recreate the

* nsd: block on removal of services
This PR uses a WaitGroup to ensure workload removals are complete
before returning from ServiceRegistrationHandler.RemoveWorkload of
the nomad service provider. The de-registration of individual services
still occurs asynchrously, but we must block on the parent removal
call so that we do not race with further operations on the same set
of services - e.g. in the case of a task restart where we de-register
and then re-register the services in quick succession.
Fixes#15032
* nsd: add e2e test for initial failing check and restart
Disallowing per_alloc for host volumes in some cases makes life of a nomad user much harder.
When we rely on the NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX for any configuration that needs to be re-used across

use the `per_alloc` feature but for some reason this is explicitly disabled for host volumes.
Ensure host volumes understand the concept of per_alloc
In #15417 we added a new `Authenticate` method to the server that returns an
`AuthenticatedIdentity` struct. This changeset implements this method for a
small number of RPC endpoints that together represent all the various ways in
which RPCs are sent, so that we can validate that we're happy with this
approach.
* consul: correctly understand missing consul checks as unhealthy
This PR fixes a bug where Nomad assumed any registered Checks would exist
in the service registration coming back from Consul. In some cases, the
Consul may be slow in processing the check registration, and the response
object would not contain checks. Nomad would then scan the empty response
looking for Checks with failing health status, finding none, and then
marking a task/alloc as healthy.
In reality, we must always use Nomad's view of what checks should exist as
the source of truth, and compare that with the response Consul gives us,
making sure they match, before scanning the Consul response for failing
check statuses.

This PR fixes the artifact sandbox (new in Nomad 1.5) to allow downloading
artifacts into the shared 'alloc' directory made available to each task in
a common allocation. Previously we assumed the 'alloc' dir would be mounted
under the 'task' dir, but this is only the case in fs isolation: chroot; in
other modes the alloc dir is elsewhere.
If a plugin crashes quickly enough, we can get into a situation where the
deregister function is called before it's ever registered. Safely handle the
resulting nil pointer in the dynamic registry by not emitting a plugin event,
but also update the plugin event handler to tolerate nil pointers in case we
wire it up elsewhere in the future.
* artifact: enable inheriting environment variables from client
This PR adds client configuration for specifying environment variables that

Most users should not need to set these values but the configuration is provided

done through the artifact block in a jobspec task.

}

On all platforms, run getter as a child process of the Nomad agent.
On Linux platforms running as root, run the child process as the nobody user.
On supporting Linux kernels, uses landlock for filesystem isolation (via go-landlock).
On all platforms, restrict environment variables of the child process to a static set.
notably TMP/TEMP now points within the allocation's task directory
kernel.landlock attribute is fingerprinted (version number or unavailable)
These changes make Nomad client more resilient against a faulty go-getter implementation that may panic, and more secure against bad actors attempting to use artifact downloads as a privilege escalation vector.
Adds new e2e/artifact suite for ensuring artifact downloading works.

This PR adds a secondary path for cleaning up iptables created for an allocation
when the normal CNI library fails to do so. This typically happens when the state
of the pause container is unexpected - e.g. deleted out of band from Nomad. Before,
the iptables rules would be leaked which could lead to unexpected nat routing
behavior later on (in addition to leaked resources). With this change, we scan
for the rules created on behalf of the allocation being GC'd and delete them.
Fixes#6385
* client: accommodate Consul 1.14.0 gRPC and agent self changes.
Consul 1.14.0 changed the way in which gRPC listeners are
configured, particularly when using TLS. Prior to the change, a
single listener was responsible for handling plain-text and
encrypted gRPC requests. In 1.14.0 and beyond, separate listeners
will be used for each, defaulting to 8502 and 8503 for plain-text
and TLS respectively.
The change means that Nomad’s Consul Connect integration would not
work when integrated with Consul clusters using TLS and running
1.14.0 or greater.
The Nomad Consul fingerprinter identifies the gRPC port Consul has
exposed using the "DebugConfig.GRPCPort" value from Consul’s
“/v1/agent/self” endpoint. In Consul 1.14.0 and greater, this only
represents the plain-text gRPC port which is likely to be disbaled
in clusters running TLS. In order to fix this issue, Nomad now
takes into account the Consul version and configured scheme to
optionally use “DebugConfig.GRPCTLSPort” value from Consul’s agent
self return.
The “consul_grcp_socket” allocrunner hook has also been updated so
that the fingerprinted gRPC port attribute is passed in. This
provides a better fallback method, when the operator does not
configure the “consul.grpc_address” option.

This PR protects access to `templateHook.templateManager` with its lock. So

in a race with Poststart.
Fixes#15189
This PR solves a defect in the deserialization of api.Port structs when returning structs from theEventStream.
Previously, the api.Port struct's fields were decorated with both mapstructure and hcl tags to support the network.port stanza's use of the keyword static when posting a static port value. This works fine when posting a job and when retrieving any struct that has an embedded api.Port instance as long as the value is deserialized using JSON decoding. The EventStream, however, uses mapstructure to decode event payloads in the api package. mapstructure expects an underlying field named static which does not exist. The result was that the Port.Value field would always be set to 0.
Upon further inspection, a few things became apparent.
The struct already has hcl tags that support the indirection during job submission.
Serialization/deserialization with both the json and hcl packages produce the desired result.
The use of of the mapstructure tags provided no value as the Port struct contains only fields with primitive types.
This PR:
Removes the mapstructure tags from the api.Port structs
Updates the job parsing logic to use hcl instead of mapstructure when decoding Port instances.

* scheduler: allow updates after alloc reconnects
When an allocation reconnects to a cluster the scheduler needs to run
special logic to handle the reconnection, check if a replacement was
create and stop one of them.
If the allocation kept running while the node was disconnected, it will
be reconnected with `ClientStatus: running` and the node will have
`Status: ready`. This combination is the same as the normal steady state
of allocation, where everything is running as expected.
In order to differentiate between the two states (an allocation that is
reconnecting and one that is just running) the scheduler needs an extra
piece of state.
The current implementation uses the presence of a
`TaskClientReconnected` task event to detect when the allocation has
reconnected and thus must go through the reconnection process. But this
event remains even after the allocation is reconnected, causing all
future evals to consider the allocation as still reconnecting.
This commit changes the reconnect logic to use an `AllocState` to
register when the allocation was reconnected. This provides the
following benefits:
- Only a limited number of task states are kept, and they are used for
many other events. It's possible that, upon reconnecting, several
actions are triggered that could cause the `TaskClientReconnected`
event to be dropped.
- Task events are set by clients and so their timestamps are subject
to time skew from servers. This prevents using time to determine if
an allocation reconnected after a disconnect event.
- Disconnect events are already stored as `AllocState` and so storing
reconnects there as well makes it the only source of information
required.
With the new logic, the reconnection logic is only triggered if the
last `AllocState` is a disconnect event, meaning that the allocation has
not been reconnected yet. After the reconnection is handled, the new
`ClientStatus` is store in `AllocState` allowing future evals to skip
the reconnection logic.
* scheduler: prevent spurious placement on reconnect
When a client reconnects it makes two independent RPC calls:
- `Node.UpdateStatus` to heartbeat and set its status as `ready`.
- `Node.UpdateAlloc` to update the status of its allocations.
These two calls can happen in any order, and in case the allocations are
updated before a heartbeat it causes the state to be the same as a node
being disconnected: the node status will still be `disconnected` while
the allocation `ClientStatus` is set to `running`.
The current implementation did not handle this order of events properly,
and the scheduler would create an unnecessary placement since it
considered the allocation was being disconnected. This extra allocation
would then be quickly stopped by the heartbeat eval.
This commit adds a new code path to handle this order of events. If the
node is `disconnected` and the allocation `ClientStatus` is `running`
the scheduler will check if the allocation is actually reconnecting
using its `AllocState` events.
* rpc: only allow alloc updates from `ready` nodes
Clients interact with servers using three main RPC methods:
- `Node.GetAllocs` reads allocation data from the server and writes it
to the client.
- `Node.UpdateAlloc` reads allocation from from the client and writes
them to the server.
- `Node.UpdateStatus` writes the client status to the server and is
used as the heartbeat mechanism.
These three methods are called periodically by the clients and are done
so independently from each other, meaning that there can't be any
assumptions in their ordering.
This can generate scenarios that are hard to reason about and to code
for. For example, when a client misses too many heartbeats it will be
considered `down` or `disconnected` and the allocations it was running
are set to `lost` or `unknown`.
When connectivity is restored the to rest of the cluster, the natural
mental model is to think that the client will heartbeat first and then
update its allocations status into the servers.
But since there's no inherit order in these calls the reverse is just as
possible: the client updates the alloc status and then heartbeats. This
results in a state where allocs are, for example, `running` while the
client is still `disconnected`.
This commit adds a new verification to the `Node.UpdateAlloc` method to
reject updates from nodes that are not `ready`, forcing clients to
heartbeat first. Since this check is done server-side there is no need
to coordinate operations client-side: they can continue sending these
requests independently and alloc update will succeed after the heartbeat
is done.
* chagelog: add entry for #15068
* code review
* client: skip terminal allocations on reconnect
When the client reconnects with the server it synchronizes the state of
its allocations by sending data using the `Node.UpdateAlloc` RPC and
fetching data using the `Node.GetClientAllocs` RPC.
If the data fetch happens before the data write, `unknown` allocations
will still be in this state and would trigger the
`allocRunner.Reconnect` flow.
But when the server `DesiredStatus` for the allocation is `stop` the
client should not reconnect the allocation.
* apply more code review changes
* scheduler: persist changes to reconnected allocs
Reconnected allocs have a new AllocState entry that must be persisted by
the plan applier.
* rpc: read node ID from allocs in UpdateAlloc
The AllocUpdateRequest struct is used in three disjoint use cases:
1. Stripped allocs from clients Node.UpdateAlloc RPC using the Allocs,
and WriteRequest fields
2. Raft log message using the Allocs, Evals, and WriteRequest fields
3. Plan updates using the AllocsStopped, AllocsUpdated, and Job fields
Adding a new field that would only be used in one these cases (1) made
things more confusing and error prone. While in theory an
AllocUpdateRequest could send allocations from different nodes, in
practice this never actually happens since only clients call this method
with their own allocations.
* scheduler: remove logic to handle exceptional case
This condition could only be hit if, somehow, the allocation status was
set to "running" while the client was "unknown". This was addressed by
enforcing an order in "Node.UpdateStatus" and "Node.UpdateAlloc" RPC
calls, so this scenario is not expected to happen.
Adding unnecessary code to the scheduler makes it harder to read and
reason about it.
* more code review
* remove another unused test
When a Nomad service starts it tries to establish a connection with
servers, but it also runs alloc runners to manage whatever allocations
it needs to run.
The alloc runner will invoke several hooks to perform actions, with some
of them requiring access to the Nomad servers, such as Native Service
Discovery Registration.
If the alloc runner starts before a connection is established the alloc
runner will fail, causing the allocation to be shutdown. This is
particularly problematic for disconnected allocations that are
reconnecting, as they may fail as soon as the client reconnects.
This commit changes the RPC request logic to retry it, using the
existing retry mechanism, if there are no servers available.
Allocations created before 1.4.0 will not have a workload identity token. When
the client running these allocs is upgraded to 1.4.x, the identity hook will run
and replace the node secret ID token used previously with an empty string. This
causes service discovery queries to fail.
Fallback to the node's secret ID when the allocation doesn't have a signed
identity. Note that pre-1.4.0 allocations won't have templates that read
Variables, so there's no threat that this new node ID secret will be able to
read data that the allocation shouldn't have access to.
* client: ensure minimal cgroup controllers enabled
This PR fixes a bug where Nomad could not operate properly on operating
systems that set the root cgroup.subtree_control to a set of controllers that
do not include the minimal set of controllers needed by Nomad.
Nomad needs these controllers enabled to operate:
- cpuset
- cpu
- io
- memory
- pids
Now, Nomad will ensure these controllers are enabled during Client initialization,
adding them to cgroup.subtree_control as necessary. This should be particularly
helpful on the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora family of system. Ubuntu systems should be
unaffected as they enable all controllers by default.

The client ACL cache was not accounting for tokens which included
ACL role links. This change modifies the behaviour to resolve role
links to policies. It will also now store ACL roles within the
cache for quick lookup. The cache TTL is configurable in the same
manner as policies or tokens.
Another small fix is included that takes into account the ACL
token expiry time. This was not included, which meant tokens with
expiry could be used past the expiry time, until they were GC'd.
* consul: register checks along with service on initial registration
This PR updates Nomad's Consul service client to include checks in
an initial service registration, so that the checks associated with
the service are registered "atomically" with the service. Before, we
would only register the checks after the service registration, which
causes problems where the service is deemed healthy, even if one or
more checks are unhealthy - especially problematic in the case where
SuccessBeforePassing is configured.

* helpers: lockfree lookup of nobody user on linux and darwin
This PR continues the nobody user lookup saga, by making the nobody
user lookup lock-free on linux and darwin.
By doing the lookup in an init block this originally broke on Windows,
where we must avoid doing the lookup at all. We can get around that
breakage by only doing the lookup on linux/darwin where the nobody
user is going to exist.
Also return the nobody user by value so that a copy is created that
cannot be modified by callers of Nobody().
* helper: move nobody code into unix file
In #14742 we introduced a cached lookup of the `nobody` user, which is only ever
called on Unixish machines. But the initial caching was being done in an `init`
block, which meant it was being run on Windows as well. This prevents the Nomad
agent from starting on Windows.
An alternative fix here would be to have a separate `init` block for Windows and
Unix, but this potentially masks incorrect behavior if we accidentally added a
call to the `Nobody()` method on Windows later. This way we're forced to handle
the error in the caller.
Previously, the splay timeout was only applied if a template re-render
caused a restart or a signal action. The `change_mode = "script"` was
running after the `if restart || len(signals) != 0` check, so it was
invoked at all times.
This change refactors the logic so it's easier to notice that new
`change_mode` options should start only after `splay` is applied.

The artifact getter uses the go-getter library to fetch files from
different sources. Any bug in this library that results in a panic can
cause the entire Nomad client to crash due to a single file download
attempt.
This change aims to guard against this types of crashes by recovering
from panics when the getter attempts to download an artifact. The
resulting panic is converted to an error that is stored as a task event
for operator visibility and the panic stack trace is logged to the
client's log.
Extension of #14673
Once Vault is initially fingerprinted, extend the period since changes
should be infrequent and the fingerprint is relatively expensive since
it is contacting a central Vault server.
Also move the period timer reset *after* the fingerprint. This is
similar to #9435 where the idea is to ensure the retry period starts
*after* the operation is attempted. 15s will be the *minimum* time
between fingerprints now instead of the *maximum* time between
fingerprints.
In the case of Vault fingerprinting, the original behavior might cause
the following:
1. Timer is reset to 15s
2. Fingerprint takes 16s
3. Timer has already elapsed so we immediately Fingerprint again
Even if fingerprinting Vault only takes a few seconds, that may very
well be due to excessive load and backing off our fingerprints is
desirable. The new bevahior ensures we always wait at least 15s between
fingerprint attempts and should allow some natural jittering based on
server load and network latency.
Clients periodically fingerprint Vault and Consul to ensure the server has
updated attributes in the client's fingerprint. If the client can't reach
Vault/Consul, the fingerprinter clears the attributes and requires a node
update. Although this seems like correct behavior so that we can detect
intentional removal of Vault/Consul access, it has two serious failure modes:
(1) If a local Consul agent is restarted to pick up configuration changes and the
client happens to fingerprint at that moment, the client will update its
fingerprint and result in evaluations for all its jobs and all the system jobs
in the cluster.
(2) If a client loses Vault connectivity, the same thing happens. But the
consequences are much worse in the Vault case because Vault is not run as a
local agent, so Vault connectivity failures are highly correlated across the
entire cluster. A 15 second Vault outage will cause a new `node-update`
evalution for every system job on the cluster times the number of nodes, plus
one `node-update` evaluation for every non-system job on each node. On large
clusters of 1000s of nodes, we've seen this create a large backlog of evaluations.
This changeset updates the fingerprinting behavior to keep the last fingerprint
if Consul or Vault queries fail. This prevents a storm of evaluations at the
cost of requiring a client restart if Consul or Vault is intentionally removed
from the client.

The concurrent gate access test is flaky since it depends on the order
of operations of two concurrent goroutines. Despite the heavy bias
towards one of the results, it's still possible to end the execution
with a closed gate.
I believe this case was created to test an earlier implementation where
the gate state was stored and mutated internally, so the access had to
be protected by a lock. However, the final implementation changed this
approach to be only channel-based, so there is no need for this flaky
test anymore.
This PR implements support for check_restart for checks registered
in the Nomad service provider.
Unlike Consul, Nomad service checks never report a "warning" status,
and so the check_restart.ignore_warnings configuration is not valid
for Nomad service checks.
This PR refactors agent/consul/check_watcher into client/serviceregistration,
and abstracts away the Consul-specific check lookups.
In doing so we should be able to reuse the existing check watcher logic for
also watching NSD checks in a followup PR.
A chunk of consul/unit_test.go is removed - we'll cover that in e2e tests
in a follow PR if needed. In the long run I'd like to remove this whole file.
Running `make check` on macOS identifies some dead code because the code is used
only with the Linux build tag. Move this code into appropriately-tagged code
files.
When configuring Consul Service Mesh, it's sometimes necessary to
provide dynamic value that are only known to Nomad at runtime. By
interpolating configuration values (in addition to configuration keys),
user are able to pass these dynamic values to Consul from their Nomad
jobs.
Log lines which include an error should use the full term "error"
as the context key. This provides consistency across the codebase
and avoids a Go style which operators might not be aware of.
* Update Consul Template dep to support Nomad vars
* Remove `Peering` config for Consul Testservers
Upgrading to the 1.14 Consul SDK introduces and additional default
configuration—`Peering`—that is not compatible with versions of Consul
before v1.13.0. because Nomad tests against Consul v1.11.1, this
configuration has to be nil'ed out before passing it to the Consul
binary.
Neither the `os.Setenv` nor `t.Setenv` helper are safe to use in parallel tests
because environment variables are process-global. The stdlib panics if you try
to do this. Remove the `ci.Parallel()` call from all tests where we're setting
environment variables.
This PR refactors the cgroups v2 group kill code path to use the
cgroups.kill interface file for destroying the cgroup. Previously
we copied the freeze + sigkill + unfreeze pattern from the v1 code,
but v2 provides a more efficient and more race-free way to handle
this.
Closes#14371
This PR refactors the code path in Client startup for setting up the cpuset
cgroup manager (non-linux systems not affected).
Before, there was a logic bug where we would try to read the cpuset.cpus.effective
cgroup interface file before ensuring nomad's parent cgroup existed. Therefor that
file would not exist, and the list of useable cpus would be empty. Tasks started
thereafter would not have a value set for their cpuset.cpus.
The refactoring fixes some less than ideal coding style. Instead we now bootstrap
each cpuset manager type (v1/v2) within its own constructor. If something goes
awry during bootstrap (e.g. cgroups not enabled), the constructor returns the
noop implementation and logs a warning.
Fixes#14229
* 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.
* minor fixes
This PR causes the logmon task runner to acquire the binary of the
Nomad executable in an 'init' block, so as to almost certainly get
the name while the nomad file still exists.
This is an attempt at fixing the case where a deleted Nomad file
(e.g. during upgrade) may be getting renamed with a mysterious
suffix first.
If this doesn't work, as a last resort we can literally just trim
the mystery string.
Fixes: #14079
The current implementation for the task coordinator unblocks tasks by
performing destructive operations over its internal state (like closing
channels and deleting maps from keys).
This presents a problem in situations where we would like to revert the
state of a task, such as when restarting an allocation with tasks that
have already exited.
With this new implementation the task coordinator behaves more like a
finite state machine where task may be blocked/unblocked multiple times
by performing a state transition.
This initial part of the work only refactors the task coordinator and
is functionally equivalent to the previous implementation. Future work
will build upon this to provide bug fixes and enhancements.
When a Nomad agent starts and loads jobs that already existed in the
cluster, the default template uid and gid was being set to 0, since this
is the zero value for int. This caused these jobs to fail in
environments where it was not possible to use 0, such as in Windows
clients.
In order to differentiate between an explicit 0 and a template where
these properties were not set we need to use a pointer.
In #14139 this code was changed to use the original copy of the config,
but Config.AllocDir is updated in the `Client.init()` method for dev
agents.
This uses the latest version of the alloc dir (which cannot change
further at runtime without a client restart which would reinitialize
the stats collector as well).
Before this change, Client had 2 copies of the config object: config and configCopy. There was no guidance around which to use where (other than configCopy's comment to pass it to alloc runners), both are shared among goroutines and mutated in data racy ways. At least at one point I think the idea was to have `config` be mutable and then grab a lock to overwrite `configCopy`'s pointer atomically. This would have allowed alloc runners to read their config copies in data race safe ways, but this isn't how the current implementation worked.
This change takes the following approach to safely handling configs in the client:
1. `Client.config` is the only copy of the config and all access must go through the `Client.configLock` mutex
2. Since the mutex *only protects the config pointer itself and not fields inside the Config struct:* all config mutation must be done on a *copy* of the config, and then Client's config pointer is overwritten while the mutex is acquired. Alloc runners and other goroutines with the old config pointer will not see config updates.
3. Deep copying is implemented on the Config struct to satisfy the previous approach. The TLS Keyloader is an exception because it has its own internal locking to support mutating in place. An unfortunate complication but one I couldn't find a way to untangle in a timely fashion.
4. To facilitate deep copying I made an *internally backward incompatible API change:* our `helper/funcs` used to turn containers (slices and maps) with 0 elements into nils. This probably saves a few memory allocations but makes it very easy to cause panics. Since my new config handling approach uses more copying, it became very difficult to ensure all code that used containers on configs could handle nils properly. Since this code has caused panics in the past, I fixed it: nil containers are copied as nil, but 0-element containers properly return a new 0-element container. No more "downgrading to nil!"
This PR enables setting of the headers block on services registered
into Nomad's service provider. Works just like the existing support
in Consul checks.
This PR hopefully fixes a race condition of our little test tcp server
that the check observer is making connections against for test cases.
The tcp listener would either startup too slow or exit too soon.

The `golang.org/x/net/context` package was merged into the stdlib as of go
1.7. Update the imports to use the identical stdlib version. Clean up import
blocks for the impacted files to remove unnecessary package aliasing.
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.
In order to support implicit ACL policies for tasks to get their own
secrets, each task would need to have its own ACL token. This would
add extra raft overhead as well as new garbage collection jobs for
cleaning up task-specific ACL tokens. Instead, Nomad will create a
workload Identity Claim for each task.
An Identity Claim is a JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by the server’s
private key and attached to an Allocation at the time a plan is
applied. The encoded JWT can be submitted as the X-Nomad-Token header
to replace ACL token secret IDs for the RPCs that support identity
claims.
Whenever a key is is added to a server’s keyring, it will use the key
as the seed for a Ed25519 public-private private keypair. That keypair
will be used for signing the JWT and for verifying the JWT.
This implementation is a ruthlessly minimal approach to support the
secure variables feature. When a JWT is verified, the allocation ID
will be checked against the Nomad state store, and non-existent or
terminal allocation IDs will cause the validation to be rejected. This
is sufficient to support the secure variables feature at launch
without requiring implementation of a background process to renew
soon-to-expire tokens.
This PR fixes a bug where client configuration max_kill_timeout was
not being enforced. The feature was introduced in 9f44780 but seems
to have been removed during the major drivers refactoring.
We can make sure the value is enforced by pluming it through the DriverHandler,
which now uses the lesser of the task.killTimeout or client.maxKillTimeout.
Also updates Event.SetKillTimeout to require both the task.killTimeout and
client.maxKillTimeout so that we don't make the mistake of using the wrong
value - as it was being given only the task.killTimeout before.
Fix numerous go-getter security issues:
- Add timeouts to http, git, and hg operations to prevent DoS
- Add size limit to http to prevent resource exhaustion
- Disable following symlinks in both artifacts and `job run`
- Stop performing initial HEAD request to avoid file corruption on
retries and DoS opportunities.
**Approach**
Since Nomad has no ability to differentiate a DoS-via-large-artifact vs
a legitimate workload, all of the new limits are configurable at the
client agent level.
The max size of HTTP downloads is also exposed as a node attribute so
that if some workloads have large artifacts they can specify a high
limit in their jobspecs.
In the future all of this plumbing could be extended to enable/disable
specific getters or artifact downloading entirely on a per-node basis.

This PR updates the version of redis used in our examples from 3.2 to 7.
The old version is very not supported anymore, and we should be setting
a good example by using a supported version.
The long-form example job is now fixed so that the service stanza uses
nomad as the service discovery provider, and so now the job runs without
a requirement of having Consul running and configured.
* test: use `T.TempDir` to create temporary test directory
This commit replaces `ioutil.TempDir` with `t.TempDir` in tests. The
directory created by `t.TempDir` is automatically removed when the test
and all its subtests complete.
Prior to this commit, temporary directory created using `ioutil.TempDir`
needs to be removed manually by calling `os.RemoveAll`, which is omitted
in some tests. The error handling boilerplate e.g.
defer func() {
if err := os.RemoveAll(dir); err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
}
is also tedious, but `t.TempDir` handles this for us nicely.

This PR modifies raw_exec and exec to ensure the cgroup for a task
they are driving still exists during a task restart. These drivers
have the same bug but with different root cause.
For raw_exec, we were removing the cgroup in 2 places - the cpuset
manager, and in the unix containment implementation (the thing that
uses freezer cgroup to clean house). During a task restart, the
containment would remove the cgroup, and when the task runner hooks
went to start again would block on waiting for the cgroup to exist,
which will never happen, because it gets created by the cpuset manager
which only runs as an alloc pre-start hook. The fix here is to simply
not delete the cgroup in the containment implementation; killing the
PIDs is enough. The removal happens in the cpuset manager later anyway.
For exec, it's the same idea, except DestroyTask is called on task
failure, which in turn calls into libcontainer, which in turn deletes
the cgroup. In this case we do not have control over the deletion of
the cgroup, so instead we hack the cgroup back into life after the
call to DestroyTask.
All of this only applies to cgroups v2.
Fixes#10200
**The bug**
A user reported receiving the following error when an alloc was placed
that needed to preempt existing allocs:
```
[ERROR] client.alloc_watcher: error querying previous alloc:
alloc_id=28... previous_alloc=8e... error="rpc error: alloc lookup
failed: index error: UUID must be 36 characters"
```
The previous alloc (8e) was already complete on the client. This is
possible if an alloc stops *after* the scheduling decision was made to
preempt it, but *before* the node running both allocations was able to
pull and start the preemptor. While that is hopefully a narrow window of
time, you can expect it to occur in high throughput batch scheduling
heavy systems.
However the RPC error made no sense! `previous_alloc` in the logs was a
valid 36 character UUID!
**The fix**
The fix is:
```
- prevAllocID: c.Alloc.PreviousAllocation,
+ prevAllocID: watchedAllocID,
```
The alloc watcher new func used for preemption improperly referenced
Alloc.PreviousAllocation instead of the passed in watchedAllocID. When
multiple allocs are preempted, a watcher is created for each with
watchedAllocID set properly by the caller. In this case
Alloc.PreviousAllocation="" -- which is where the `UUID must be 36 characters`
error was coming from! Sadly we were properly referencing
watchedAllocID in the log, so it made the error make no sense!
**The repro**
I was able to reproduce this with a dev agent with [preemption enabled](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-preempt-hcl)
and [lowered limits](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-limits-hcl)
for ease of repro.
First I started a [low priority count 3 job](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-preempt-lo-nomad),
then a [high priority job](https://gist.github.com/schmichael/53f79cbd898afdfab76865ad8c7fc6a0#file-preempt-hi-nomad)
that evicts 2 low priority jobs. Everything worked as expected.
However if I force it to use the [remotePrevAlloc implementation](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/v1.3.0-beta.1/client/allocwatcher/alloc_watcher.go#L147),
it reproduces the bug because the watcher references PreviousAllocation
instead of watchedAllocID.
