Description

Motivation

Last night, Tumbleweed snapshot 20221122 was synced over to openQA and scheduled for testing.
Normally, the full test suite is 313 tests long; for 1122, only 311 were scheduled though

I managed to track it down to the NET/i586 test not having scheduled, which was attempted in
https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/productlog?id=283823

The error reported was

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Jobs are scheduled reliably

Suggestions

  • Clarify why the "unrelated" operations interfere
  • Try and avoid updating the asset size too often
  • Identify all places that lock the asset table
  • Read PostgreSQL documentation, e.g. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/explicit-locking.html
  • We could add a re-try around the transaction, which by design is atomic. It's not a "proper solution" but would release all locks as well before the next transaction is attempted.
  • Maybe we can ensure there's only one place that updates the asset size e.g. a dedicated job that any users can trigger as needed
    • There's https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/4963 but we're still seeing cases on o3 so maybe that fix wasn't complete
    • Maybe the my $asset = $assets->find_or_create($asset_info, {for => 'update'}); using or_create/for update is simply the problem because it always "updates"

Out of scope

  • Introduce another internal state to distinguish the sate of a not really running but should be scheduled job that can be reset back

Updated by mkittler about 2 years ago

The first query likely corresponds to the update via DBIx in OpenQA::Schema::Result::Assets::refresh_size which is invoked when tracking/cleaning assets. The second query points to OpenQA::Schema::Result::Jobs::extract_group_args_from_settings which is invoked when scheduling the product (and thus happening within an explicit transaction but using the default isolation level). So asset tracking and product scheduling are interfering with each other.

After re-scheduling the product the jobs were created as expected. The deadlock likely only occurs in a very specific situation (the asset tracking needs to be at a certain point and the scheduling needs to be at a certain point). That makes it hard to reproduce.

Looks like this isn't the only time when a deadlock occurred:

The other deadlocks are also either about reading a row from job groups or about updating the size of an asset.

The log looks like this:

I fail to see how reading job groups would interfere with updating assets. Maybe this is just the query that's executed when the transaction is aborted. So I had a look what else we do in that transaction. It turns out that within the scheduling transaction we run register_assets_from_settings which runs ensure_size which runs ensure_size which eventually also runs refresh_size. So we update the size column of assets while tracking assets and while scheduling products. That could be our deadlock/conflict.

Updated by mkittler about 2 years ago

By the way, when doing

$schema->txn_do(sub {  # explicit transaction via first database connection
        note 'update 1';
        $schema->resultset('Assets')->first->update({size => 50});
        note 'update 2';
        $schema2->resultset('Assets')->first->update({size => 49});  # an update via a different database connection while the explicit transaction has not been committed
        note 'done 1';
    });
    note 'done 2';

that creates a deadlock. I get only the first two lines logged. However, in my tests it gets just stuck without running into the "deadlock detected" error. I just get the following log messages:

EDIT: That's actually not a good example. If I start the 2nd update in a sub process and wait in the main process until it terminated it works just fine.

  • Description updated (diff)
  • Category deleted (Regressions/Crashes)

  • The explicit transaction we're starting when scheduling a job is using the default isolation level which is according to the documentation mentioned by @kraih "Read Committed Isolation Level". The updates when scanning assets are not using an explicit transaction.
  • The error message is about a ShareLock but according to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/explicit-locking.html an UPDATE actually uses a RowExclusiveLock. The ShareLock mentioned in the error message would only be created acquired by CREATE INDEX (and is indeed in conflict with ROW EXCLUSIVE). That raises the question why the ShareLock is acquired because we surely don't use CREATE INDEX after the initial deployment.
  • In theory one option would be to avoid the asset size update when scheduling jobs. However, that would break the check for missing assets when restarting jobs (see https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/commit/50b986e957a4f2c30d94c8499d43700746ae6c42). Besides, it is still not completely clear whether these two updates are actually really the culprit.

As expected this is a tricky one. I do have suspicions though, the deadlock itself is undoubtedly on this line. And the root cause will have something to do with this transaction, which has a very wide scope. This kind of deadlock usually happens with an UPDATE ordering problem, where two transactions try to update multiple rows of a table, and each gets the lock on a different row at the same time, deadlocking each other. Which leads me to believe that this line could be at fault. The usual fix for a problem like this would be to do a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on all the rows you plan to update before doing it. Which is not so easy with the convoluted DBIx::Class code involved here.

Which seems to come from here, triggered by the schedule_iso task. And from there it reaches the same loop that previously caused the update deadlock. Problem is the huge transaction block spanning all jobs being created. There is probably no way around splitting it up. At least the deadlock from this code path is a lot more rare, so this is not as urgent.

To sum it up: I think the problem here is that the big transaction loops over the same assets multiple times, for different jobs, which means the order from the inner loop cannot prevent the deadlock. One solution would be to split up the big transaction, or maybe the update of the assets table can be skipped since this is about creating jobs.

Problem is the huge transaction block spanning all jobs being created. There is probably no way around splitting it up.

Unfortunately this is in a transaction on purpose. The scheduler code should only see all those newly created jobs or none and in case of an error we don't want a half-scheduled product.

or maybe the update of the assets table can be skipped since this is about creating jobs.

That might be the simplest solution. However, this would likely break the check whether an asset exists that's done when restarting (see 50b986e957a4f2c30d94c8499d43700746ae6c42). At least that would be the case when the asset size hasn't been otherwise determined yet.
