Description

Observation

mdoucha pointed out an interesting case ( https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1670328701486539 ) where a HDD-file was deleted while a job runs: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/10089958#step/oom03/5
I found a similar problem described here: #64544 but this is mainly about "pending" jobs. However, the related change in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/2918/files states that we "Consider all jobs which are not done or cancelled as pending"

With journalctl --since=today -u openqa-worker-cacheservice-minion.service | grep -C 100 "14-819.1.g3e6aee2-Server" I tried to understand when the asset was deleted (any why, most likely because the cache was full) but I only found when openQA/cacheservice downloaded it:

Dec 06 07:58:11 powerqaworker-qam-1 openqa-worker-cacheservice-minion[101810]: [101810] [i] Downloading "sle-12-SP5-ppc64le-4.12.14-819.1.g3e6aee2-Server-DVD-Incidents-Kernel-KOTD@ppc64le-virtio-with-ltp.qcow2" from "http://openqa.suse.de/tests/10089934/asset/hdd/sle-12-SP5-ppc64le-4.12.14-819.1.g3e6aee2-Server-DVD-Incidents-Kernel-KOTD@ppc64le-virtio-with-ltp.qcow2"

Afterwards I just see Downloading: "sle-12-SP5-ppc64le-4.12.14-819.1.g3e6aee2-Server-DVD-Incidents-Kernel-KOTD@ppc64le-virtio-with-ltp.qcow2" without the http link so I assume this means the asset is still present in the cache (and gets reused).

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: required assets are not deleted while they are in use by running/pending openQA tests

Suggestions

  • Take a look at our cacheservice-minion code what conditions are required for an asset to be deleted

Here's a new example where a disk image was downloaded by the job and deleted again within 4 minutes:

Looking at the logs in more detail, all of the last three examples show the same error:

find: /var/lib/openqa/share/factory/hdd/fixed: Stale file handle

The error comes from this function call: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/9a7b43ea9c95bbbc83bde0837681b453c0e90dad/tests/installation/bootloader_svirt.pm#L138

It looks like bootloader_svirt ignores all the asset files already downloaded by cache service and downloads them all again via NFS. Which can result in the "unable to find image" error above if NFS connection fails due to random network issues.

I can reproduce the "Stale file handle" issue on my laptop:

racetrack-7290:/mnt # mount -t nfs openqa.suse.de:/var/lib/openqa/share/factory willie
racetrack-7290:/mnt # cd willie/
racetrack-7290:/mnt/willie # ls
build-to-fixed.sh  hdd  iso  other  repo  tmp
racetrack-7290:/mnt/willie # cd hdd/fixed/
-bash: cd: hdd/fixed/: Stale file handle

Looks like the OSD NFS server could use a restart or at least to unexport and reexport the share in question.

I just restarted the NFS server on OSD and try to restart the affected jobs now.
