Description

Observation

from #opensuse-factory :

[30/01/2020 14:02:47] <DimStar> do we have some openQA network performanc issues? I see tons of tests, like on await_install for example (https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1159380#step/await_install/11 - normally the entire test for creating the HDD runs like 45 minutes)
[30/01/2020 14:03:12] <DimStar> hm. that should not even be net related - that's installing from the DVD
[30/01/2020 14:03:58] <DimStar> ow4: top - 14:03:52 up 10:30,  1 user,  load average: 50.14, 106.59, 145.35
[30/01/2020 14:04:09] <DimStar> that's a good load :)
…
[30/01/2020 14:21:18] <DimStar> Martchus: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview?arch=&machine=&modules=&todo=1&distri=microos&distri=opensuse&version=Tumbleweed&build=20200129&groupid=1# - pretty much all those failures are 'performance related' - and all happened on OW4

system journal on openqaworker4 goes back to 2019-11-20 but only since 2020-01-30 we see sudo journalctl | grep 'nvme.*timeout' | less

Jan 30 06:22:18 openqaworker4 kernel: nvme nvme0: I/O 814 QID 22 timeout, aborting
Jan 30 06:22:18 openqaworker4 kernel: nvme nvme0: I/O 816 QID 22 timeout, aborting
Jan 30 06:22:18 openqaworker4 kernel: nvme nvme0: I/O 818 QID 22 timeout, aborting
…
Jan 31 09:40:17 openqaworker4 kernel: nvme nvme0: I/O 242 QID 1 timeout, aborting
Jan 31 09:40:17 openqaworker4 kernel: nvme nvme0: I/O 245 QID 1 timeout, aborting
Jan 31 09:40:17 openqaworker4 kernel: nvme nvme0: I/O 247 QID 1 timeout, aborting

so the problem persists over the nightly upgrade.

Updated by okurz about 4 years ago

as a potential short-term remedy I stopped some openqa worker instances on the machine: systemctl disable --now openqa-worker@{11..16} . Maybe other tests have a better chance at finishing when there is less load but actually I doubt it helps.

I stopped all openQA worker instances on openqaworker4 as it seems it can not successfully finish any test job. I have raised a ticket with SUSE Engineering Infrastructure and I will also look into moving a machine from the OSD pool to o3.

Yesterday I ran smartctl on nvme0 but it didn't show any errors and I couldn't run self-tests: "SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: FAILED! - media has been placed in read only mode"

We also noticed that even a single touch can take several seconds so the file system is seriously slow.

Update in https://infra.nue.suse.com/SelfService/Display.html?id=162199 "I did something", I assume manual check of physical cable connections. I doubt this will help but nevertheless, I setup the partitions according to #19238 , e.g. put all (both) NVMe's in a RAID0 and use as shared cache+pool but setup openqa worker instances with a new worker class "qemu_x86_64_poo62849" however already on mkfs.ext2 /dev/md2 we get in dmesg

[Mon Feb  3 16:05:47 2020] nvme nvme0: I/O 660 QID 21 timeout, aborting
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:47 2020] nvme nvme0: I/O 662 QID 21 timeout, aborting

[Mon Feb  3 16:05:47 2020] nvme nvme0: I/O 666 QID 21 timeout, aborting
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:47 2020] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:47 2020] nvme nvme0: I/O 802 QID 21 timeout, aborting
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:52 2020] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:52 2020] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:52 2020] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0
[Mon Feb  3 16:05:52 2020] nvme nvme0: Abort status: 0x0

so nvme0 can still be considered broken. But with the changed setup it is now easy to exclude nvme0 and just use nvme1 for the time being:

mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --fail /dev/nvme0n1 && mdadm --manage /dev/md2 --remove /dev/nvme0n1

but first we need to reboot to be able to unblock. Did that and re-setup the RAID. Also, smart data shows that the device is reported as broken:

Scheduled some test jobs:

for i in {1..20}; do openqa-clone-job --within-instance https://openqa.opensuse.org 1162816 WORKER_CLASS=qemu_x86_64_poo62849 _GROUP=0 BUILD=poo62849 TEST=create_hdd_minimalx_poo62849_$i; done

Created job #1163550: opensuse-Tumbleweed-NET-x86_64-Build20200201-create_hdd_minimalx@64bit -> https://openqa.opensuse.org/t1163550

build
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview?distri=opensuse&build=poo62849&version=Tumbleweed
shows 20/20 passed.

The machine did not come up after reboot because there was a file /etc/fstab.sys which still listed /var/lib/openqa/pool and /var/lib/openqa/cache mount points . I disabled the two lines in that file and did transactional-update initrd && reboot. Machine is now back up with only the second NVMe used.

[05/02/2020 16:34:41] <DimStar> okurz[m]: any experiments happening with ow4?
[05/02/2020 16:35:36] <okurz> DimStar: not really, what's up?

[05/02/2020 16:35:51] <DimStar> all incompletes are from OW4
[05/02/2020 16:40:11] <okurz> DimStar: not sure yet but I will shut off the openQA worker instances
[05/02/2020 16:41:39] <DimStar> okurz: k; seems it worked sort of ok for a day or two, but now starts to mess up again.. not sure what the ratio between failed and passed jobs there is currently on ow4
[05/02/2020 16:41:45] <okurz> DimStar: I see now, out of space :( Problem is that one NVMe is not enough for 16 worker instances, I guess if we run less it can work
[05/02/2020 16:42:47] <DimStar> let's run with 8? still better than missing the entire box
[05/02/2020 16:43:35] <okurz> yeah, I guess
[05/02/2020 16:44:06] <okurz> retriggered incompletes
[05/02/2020 16:44:10] <DimStar> thanks!

incompletes on openqaworker4 again, e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1164661/file/autoinst-log.txt showing "No space left on device".

Disabled all 16 worker instances, restarted incompletes with env worker=openqaworker4 ~/local/os-autoinst/scripts/openqa-restart-incompletes-on-worker-instance and will bring up 8 again.

EDIT: Ok, seems it was me missing another thing instead. /etc/openqa/workers.ini stated "CACHELIMIT = 300" so we would fill up the disk with cache, not pool. Reduced to default 50 and restarted the cacheservice and 8 worker instances.

EDIT: 2020-02-06: After tests looked fine so far I also enabled instances 9..12

We brought in openqaworker7 into the o3 infrastructure so that the reduced capacity of openqaworker4 is less of a problem

https://infra.nue.suse.com/SelfService/Display.html?id=162199 was resolved after openqaworker4 received a new, second NVMe. I can already see it in the system but would shift the update of the worker config to a time when less tests are running.

  • Status changed from Feedback to Resolved

Realized that /etc/openqa/workers.ini was not configuring all instances correctly. Changed now to use the generic WORKER_CLASS and only define special classes for instance 7+8 which were previously also handled in a special manner – probably for no apparent reason. Now instances 1..20 are up, show up fine on https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/workers . I have checked the history of all worker instances and they all look ok.
