## Observation
On 2022-05-09 we found that there are many jobs scheduled but not enough running. On https://monitor.qa.suse.de/d/nRDab3Jiz/openqa-jobs-test?orgId=1&viewPanel=9&from=1651831201500&to=1652176797500 one can see that we have the case of many jobs scheduled in the evening of 2022-05-09. A discussion thread asking about problems was opened by Xiaojing Liu in https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02AJ1E568M/p1652083286946669 . jbaier pointed out that the majority of the queue are LTP tests (new kernel livepatches in the maintenance queue) which is happening seldomly but can still be expected
On openqaworker6 `journalctl -u openqa-worker-auto-restart@20` we found
```
May 09 03:26:12 openqaworker6 worker[33850]: [warn] [pid:33850] Worker cache not available: Cache service queue already full (10)
```
## Problem
In https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02AJ1E568M/p1652085933670009?thread_ts=1652083286.946669&cid=C02AJ1E568M coolo stated the hypothesis
> The scheduler didn't schedule because there was that one worker who was kept as idle, but was actually dead. And that situation is fatal for the scheduling loop
It seems that the scheduling loop might not be completely blocked but slowed down a lot iterating over a big list of jobs and workers and only assigning jobs very slowly
The scheduler currently fails to assign jobs to various workers, possibly slowing down the whole scheduling tick:

```
Those workers are currently idling:
```
openqa=> select host, instance, job_id, error from workers where id in (912, 1119, 1114, 593, 903, 954, 1210);
host | instance | job_id | error

openqaworker13 | 8 | |
openqaworker13 | 3 | |
openqaworker13 | 14 | |
(7 Zeilen)
```
The problem persists during multiple scheduler ticks. The set of workers is always similar, now also one more shows up:
```
[2022-05-09T11:14:27.829472+02:00] [debug] [pid:14772] Assigned job '8715013' to worker ID '1349'

```
Besides, the scheduler ticket takes very long. I saw one ticket that took almost 30 seconds.
The affected workers log looks like this:
```

```
So there were connection issues but eventually the worker could register. However, then it nevertheless didn't take any jobs despite attempts from the scheduler to assign a job to it. After restarting the worker it instantly starts working on a new job:

```
So I suspect there's something wrong on the worker-side that can leave it stuck after registration. Possibly the previous connection errors are part of this special case. However, besides that, nothing else was going on:

The worker shows nevertheless up as "idle" (and not as "broken"). I suppose that's problematic because it makes it look like the don't assign jobs to an idling worker while it is actually busy downloading. However, when restarting the worker slot it didn't show the cache service error anymore. So maybe it wasn't *actually* busy with downloading anymore. The restarting also helped in this case to unblock the worker. Considering that not all workers shows these "Cache service queue already full" message and that these messages stopped at Mai 09 05:59:41 I would conclude that these messages are unrelated.
## Ideas
* Following the assumption that the worker(s) are at fault
* Check the code for problems leading to stuck workers after registration
* Following the assumption that the scheduler is at fault
* Test locally by scheduling something like 100k jobs and see how the scheduler scales
* Test locally by scheduling many jobs on something like 1k worker instances and see how the scheduler scales
## Mitigation steps conducted
