closedleft-over qemu processes cause incomplete jobs with "Failed to find an available port: Address already in use", previous jobs failed but did not tear down qemu

Description
Observation¶
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3370943/file/autoinst-log.txt on openqaworker-arm-2:10 shows

[2019-09-17T17:29:22.251 UTC] [debug] QEMU: qemu-system-aarch64: -vnc :100,share=force-shared: Failed to find an available port: Address already in use
checking on the worker I can find a qemu process for that worker instance still running:
_openqa+ 36620 0.0 0.0 122100 114932 ? Ss Sep12 4:14 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/openqa/script/worker --instance 10
_openqa+ 46505 1.5 1.0 2045052 1332612 ? SLl 12:45 7:00 \_ /usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -device virtio-gpu-pci -only-migratable -chardev ringbuf,id=serial0,logfile=serial0,logappend=on -serial chardev:serial0 -sound
Looking in the worker journal I could find https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3368418/ which looks to be the job that ended up incomplete with leaving this qemu instance around.
This was observed already some time ago – since around 2019-08, potentially even earlier – by at least okurz and riafarov and mitigated by manually terminating that qemu instance. So far okurz is only aware of seeing this on openqaworker-arm-2 in particular.
Problem¶
First, the openQA worker is looking for a qemu pid file in the pool folder but that one is not there even though that qemu never stopped. That should be checked as well as why the qemu process is not stopped.
Workaround¶
ssh into the worker and terminate the faulty qemu processes manually.

The whole Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess module was introduced to avoid this problem. I'm afraid it's mojo got lost during latest refactorings as we see this problem now more often again :(

many openQA incompletes on openqaworker4:7 because there seems to be a stuck qemu process in the backend. I will shortly debug and then restart.

from https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/workers/170 the first faulty job is https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1044996
it seems as if instance 11 suffers from the same:
# ls /var/lib/openqa/pool/11/
.locked qemu.pid
but the corresponding worker reports as "Broken": https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/workers/163
Stopped both services and restarted. Retriggered jobs with env instance=7 openqa-restart-incompletes-on-worker-instance

so a qemu process is persisting even though it should have been terminated.

Just in case if additional info may be required. The issue also reproduced on the recent build on aarch64 (openqaworker-arm-1:11) on several test runs: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3450715, https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3450716, https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3450721, https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3450722

We really had this under control, this regressed :(
Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
Even though Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
should have been taken care QEMU the worker actually has some logic which stops it from taking further jobs when QEMU is still running. Apparently this is broken since the last refactoring. On the other hand ...
the corresponding worker reports as "Broken"
So the check within the worker at least works sometimes. Note that the worker reports itself as broken is expected (despite the fact that Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
should have been able to kill QEMU in the first place). Before the worker refactoring the worker behaved similarly. It did not report itself as broken but prevented running further jobs by simply cancelling itself.
Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
Maybe the worker reports itself as broken but still takes new jobs. I'll try to check that.
Reproducing the Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
part will be harder. I'm quite often running tests locally and abort them in the middle (e.g. when running the full-stack test) and that doesn't leave QEMU instances running (usually just chromedriver instances). In the failing tests we also see
[2019-09-17T12:45:06.0471 UTC] [warn] [pid:36620] Failed creating CGroup subtree 'Invalid path at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.26.1/Mojo/IOLoop/ReadWriteProcess/CGroup.pm line 35.
', disabling them.You can define a custom slice with OPENQA_CGROUP_SLICE or indicating the base mount with MOJO_CGROUP_FS
Maybe that's why Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
"lost its mojo"? I see (and ignore) this message actually all the time when running tests locally.
According to the worker history the last successful job before the job mentioned in the ticket was https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3368352. It finished normally. The next job failed for unknown reason (no autoinst-log.txt uploaded, https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3368418). The next job already failed in the same way as the job mentioned in the ticket description (https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3368443).

We have good tests for not cleaning up the PID file in the pool directory as well as for not taking jobs while the worker is considered broken. But I forgot to ensure that the broken state is actually updated after and before starting a test. That's why it isn't always working. (The broken state is only recomputed in certain intervals but only while idling. So a busy worker would so far never really check whether QEMU is still running until it runs out of jobs.)

PR to fix cgroup creation with Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
module: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/2389
With this fix it at least creates the cgroup and passes it to the Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess::Container
thing. But I've just checked whether this has any actual influence on the cgroup tree (systemd-cgls
) but it seems isotovideo and its forks including QEMU are just within the usual session-2.scope
. So not a big win.
However, I really doubt that the cgroup creation/usage via Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
has ever been working correctly. The log message about the cgroup creation has been there since like forever.
So the real regression is that the worker still took jobs while the QEMU process from the last job was still running. That should be fixed with the PR mentioned in the previous comment.
Previously (= before the worker refactoring) it likely worked like this: QEMU can not be killed immediately -> worker terminates -> systemd might try to restart it but gives up after several attempts -> QEMU terminates after all -> the worker is restarted at some point anyways
Now (= after https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/2385 has been merged) the worker should declare itself as broken and re-evaluate that state in certain intervals.
Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
The PRs have been merged and like I already said in the previous comment we're back to the state before the regression. That doesn't mean that the whole cgroup handling within Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
works correctly. Not sure whether I should invest more time in fixing it (upstream).

Updated by okurz about 5 years ago
There is a potential upstream fix by kraih in https://github.com/mudler/Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess/pull/5 , included in release 0.24 , let's wait for the next cycle of autoupdate of the package in devel:languages:perl . Then we should also check that the workaround to delete not working tests from the package in https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/devel:languages:perl/perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess/cpanspec.yml?expand=1 are removed again if tests work. After the necessary submission to openSUSE:Factory we can provide a link into https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:openQA:Leap:15.1 to use in production – if it helps.
Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
We haven't seen the problem anymore, right? So we're at least back to where we were before the worker refactoring which means at least the worker wouldn't take any further jobs as long as QEMU is still running. Not sure about Mojo::IOLoop::ReadWriteProcess
.

Well, have we even looked? ;) I suggest we grep the logfiles on o3 and osd for the occurence.

Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
Like I mentioned in the chat I could recently reproduce the issue locally. While the worker handles it now well (the state is set to broken and also set to online again after manually killing QEMU) I still had a leftover QEMU running on my system. And at this time I also had the new version of perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess
already installed:
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{name}; %{version}; %{installtime:date}\n' perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess
perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess; 0.24; Do 24 Okt 2019 14:56:46 CEST
(Why doesn't zypper info
show the install date of a package? Even pacman can show the install and the build date of a package.)
Updated by okurz about 5 years ago
If you already have the new version of the dependencies I guess you need to set to "In Progress" and work on it or back to "Workable", at best after writing down what are the next steps to undertake
Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
- Status changed from Feedback to Workable
We should decide whether it is worth the effort to fix perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess.
Updated by okurz about 5 years ago
IMHO we should do whatever is easiest and lowest effort for us to fix the os-autoinst issue. If the easiest is to fix perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess then this, otherwise we just fix it downstream.
Updated by mkittler about 5 years ago
- Status changed from Workable to Resolved
- Target version changed from Current Sprint to Done
I would even mark this as resolved since we shouldn't run into the problem anymore because the worker catches this. I think that's the best we can do from the downstream side without duplicating things perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess is actually supposed to do. I'll add a new ticket for fixing remaining issues within perl-Mojo-IOLoop-ReadWriteProcess.
Follow-up ticket: https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/59852
