Description

Motivation

While investigating #131447 we noticed that there are quite a few leftover temporary directories in /tmp. These appear to have been created by the scheduler or webui, and under certain circumstances are not cleaned up even if they are no longer needed.

What triggers the directories not to be cleaned up?
From the openqa_scheduler_log:

[2023-06-27T19:25:43.422205Z] [warn] [pid:5909] Failed sending job(s) '3387016' to worker '425': Unable to assign job to worker 425: the worker is not connected anymore

In those cases $schema->txn_do(sub { $worker->unprepare_for_work; }); is called, which simply deletes the setting in the DB, but doesn't remove the dirctory.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: No more leftover temporary directories on OSD and O3

Suggestions

  • tempdir() is called in two places (here and here)
  • Focus on fixing the cleanup code
  • It might make sense to change the default directory from /tmp to some directory under /var/lib/openqa/... too, since that's usually where we have our faster larger disks mounted

Out of scope

Looks like this has been improved via https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5225. Now those directories should be better distinguishable.

On O3 it now looks like this:

And I can see more than one directory per worker, e.g.

% ls -ld webui.worker-94._RJfQUKB webui.worker-94.hWurW5GA webui.worker-94.zAmB4g3_
drwx------ 2 geekotest nogroup 40 Jun 29 04:00 webui.worker-94._RJfQUKB
drwx------ 2 geekotest nogroup 40 Jun 28 01:30 webui.worker-94.hWurW5GA
drwx------ 2 geekotest nogroup 40 Jun 29 05:15 webui.worker-94.zAmB4g3_

So reusing the dirs doesn't seem to work.

Could be related to
https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Scheduler/Model/Jobs.pm#L250-L258

        log_warning "Failed sending job(s) '$job_ids_str' to worker '$worker_id': $error";
        try {
            $schema->txn_do(sub { $worker->unprepare_for_work; });
        }

and unprepare_for_work will just delete the properties from the DB without deleting the directory.

I just looked into the scheduler log on o3, and there are 86 such error messages in the last ~24h, and from a first glance the worker ids match the duplicate directories.
