Description

Apparently the scheduler is deadlocking at some point when the ammount of jobs is too big (quick hipotesys)

px aux shows:

killing the PID worked: SELECT pg_terminate_backend(15941);

but dbi is barfing:

  • Subject changed from openQA scheduler hangs to job_grab seems to hang with over 1.2K jobs

We've had before 1.2, and didn't die... but looks like this time was impossible not to

Idea by coolo:

12:45 <coolo> mudler: I want a blocked_by column in the jobs table that also shows the job differently in the scheduled table
12:45 <coolo> mudler: and then the scheduler can ignore those - this should limit this subselect query a lot :)

That can work, and likely can be tested experimentally with not much code changes - we need to check out if with that approach we still see a degradation of performance in the job_grab's generated query in > 1.2K scheduled jobs (and among those, for a good test we need also to schedule jobs with chained parents/parallel, that makes the orm query more heavy).

So let's stop the workers then during the weekend, and start them after the database dump is created. (Or we can use the one from yesterday)

Damn, there is no way around fixing it - whatever caused it, we have this now whenever there is a lot of load :(

And I had to cancel the one job and restart the scheduler to have it rolling again.

It also can fail with simple Server-Client clusters - https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1744194#settings

  • Subject changed from job_grab hangs on multimachine jobs to job_grab does not cope with parallel cycles
  • Priority changed from Immediate to Normal

After a lot of debugging we found the underlying problem. two test suites both added PARALLEL_WITH with each other, which resulted in a cycle of dependencies. We were just not aware that this is possible, so we didn't look earlier into this and hunted in many other directions first :(

the test suites are fixed

Started adding a new fixture, https://github.com/foursixnine/openQA/commits/recursioniscalled_ let's see how it goes.

  • Status changed from New to In Progress

So working with the test fixture is not a problem, now caching the real problem is...

I tried to catch them in the job_create_dependencies, but had no luck so far, as the jobs are already created, making the tests fail horribly. I switched to look at create_from_settings method, but having a key=value table doesn't make it easy.
