When a Nomad client that is running an allocation with
`max_client_disconnect` set misses a heartbeat the Nomad server will
update its status to `disconnected`.
Upon reconnecting, the client will make three main RPC calls:
- `Node.UpdateStatus` is used to set the client status to `ready`.
- `Node.UpdateAlloc` is used to update the client-side information about
allocations, such as their `ClientStatus`, task states etc.
- `Node.Register` is used to upsert the entire node information,
including its status.
These calls are made concurrently and are also running in parallel with
the scheduler. Depending on the order they run the scheduler may end up
with incomplete data when reconciling allocations.
For example, a client disconnects and its replacement allocation cannot
be placed anywhere else, so there's a pending eval waiting for
resources.
When this client comes back the order of events may be:
1. Client calls `Node.UpdateStatus` and is now `ready`.
2. Scheduler reconciles allocations and places the replacement alloc to
the client. The client is now assigned two allocations: the original
alloc that is still `unknown` and the replacement that is `pending`.
3. Client calls `Node.UpdateAlloc` and updates the original alloc to
`running`.
4. Scheduler notices too many allocs and stops the replacement.
This creates unnecessary placements or, in a different order of events,
may leave the job without any allocations running until the whole state
is updated and reconciled.
To avoid problems like this clients must update _all_ of its relevant
information before they can be considered `ready` and available for
scheduling.
To achieve this goal the RPC endpoints mentioned above have been
modified to enforce strict steps for nodes reconnecting:
- `Node.Register` does not set the client status anymore.
- `Node.UpdateStatus` sets the reconnecting client to the `initializing`
status until it successfully calls `Node.UpdateAlloc`.
These changes are done server-side to avoid the need of additional
coordination between clients and servers. Clients are kept oblivious of
these changes and will keep making these calls as they normally would.
The verification of whether allocations have been updates is done by
storing and comparing the Raft index of the last time the client missed
a heartbeat and the last time it updated its allocations.
* vault: configure user agent on Nomad vault clients
This PR attempts to set the User-Agent header on each Vault API client
created by Nomad. Still need to figure a way to set User-Agent on the
Vault client created internally by consul-template.
* vault: fixup find-and-replace gone awry
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.

* 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.

We actually need to forward the request to ensure that the leader is
properly configured and that establishedLeadership completes.
Introduce limits to prevent unauthorized users from exhausting all
ephemeral ports on agents:
* `{https,rpc}_handshake_timeout`
* `{http,rpc}_max_conns_per_client`
The handshake timeout closes connections that have not completed the TLS
handshake by the deadline (5s by default). For RPC connections this
timeout also separately applies to first byte being read so RPC
connections with TLS enabled have `rpc_handshake_time * 2` as their
deadline.
The connection limit per client prevents a single remote TCP peer from
exhausting all ephemeral ports. The default is 100, but can be lowered
to a minimum of 26. Since streaming RPC connections create a new TCP
connection (until MultiplexV2 is used), 20 connections are reserved for
Raft and non-streaming RPCs to prevent connection exhaustion due to
streaming RPCs.
All limits are configurable and may be disabled by setting them to `0`.
This also includes a fix that closes connections that attempt to create
TLS RPC connections recursively. While only users with valid mTLS
certificates could perform such an operation, it was added as a
safeguard to prevent programming errors before they could cause resource
exhaustion.
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 is a workaround for the windows process model.
Go os/exec does not pass the parent process handle to the child
processes STARTUPINFO struct, this means that unless we wait in
the _same_ execution context as Starting the process, the
handle will be lost, and we cannot kill it without regaining
a handle.
A better long term solution would be a higher level process
abstraction that uses windows.CreateProcess on windows.
When vault is installed through chocolatey, it also installs a shim that
will not pass kill signals to the child. This means the process will
never actually terminate, and we lose the process handle.
Here, rather than waiting forever, we timeout fast.
WaitForRunning risks a race condition where the allocation succeeds and
completes before WaitForRunning is called (or while it is running).
Here, I made the behavior match the function documentation.
I considered making it stricter, but callers need to account for
allocation terminating immediately after WaitForRunning terminates
anyway.
Although the really exciting change is making WaitForRunning return the
allocations that it started. This should cut down test boilerplate
significantly.
httptest.ResponseRecorder exposes a bytes.Buffer which we were reading
and writing concurrently to test streaming log APIs. This is a race, so
I wrapped the struct in a lock with some helpers.
Not setting the host name led the Go HTTP client to expect a certificate
with a DNS-resolvable name. Since Nomad uses `${role}.${region}.nomad`
names ephemeral dir migrations were broken when TLS was enabled.
Added an e2e test to ensure this doesn't break again as it's very
difficult to test and the TLS configuration is very easy to get wrong.
Adds a Consul field to the TestServerConfig that allows passing in non-default values for e.g. consul address.
This will allow the TestServer to integrate with Consul's testutil/TestServer.
