Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Refactor: libcrmcommon: Rearrange the queue_len check.
|
|
|
|
Check if the queue length is 0 first and return, which allows everything
|
|
else to be un-indented one level.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Feature: libcrmcommon: Be more lenient in evicting IPC
|
|
clients.
|
|
|
|
Each IPC connection has a message queue. If the client is unable to
|
|
process messages faster than the server is sending them, that queue
|
|
start to back up. pacemaker enforces a cap on the queue size, and
|
|
that's adjustable with the cluster-ipc-limit parameter. Once the queue
|
|
grows beyond that size, the client is assumed to be dead and is evicted
|
|
so it can be restarted and the queue resources freed.
|
|
|
|
However, it's possible that the client is not dead. On clusters with
|
|
very large numbers of resources (I've tried with 300, but fewer might
|
|
also cause problems), certain actions can happen that cause a spike in
|
|
IPC messages. In RHEL-76276, the action that causes this is moving
|
|
nodes in and out of standby. This spike in messages causes the server
|
|
to overwhelm the client, which is then evicted.
|
|
|
|
My multi-part IPC patches made this even worse, as now if the CIB is so
|
|
large that it needs to split an IPC message up, there will be more
|
|
messages than before.
|
|
|
|
What this fix does is get rid of the cap on the queue size for pacemaker
|
|
daemons. As long as the server has been able to send messages to the
|
|
client, the client is still doing work and shouldn't be evicted. It may
|
|
just be processing messages slower than the server is sending them.
|
|
Note that this could lead the queue to grow without bound, eventually
|
|
crashing the server. For this reason, we're only allowing pacemaker
|
|
daemons to ignore the queue size limit.
|
|
|
|
Potential problems with this approach:
|
|
|
|
* If the client is so busy that it can't receive even a single message
|
|
that crm_ipcs_flush_events tries to send, it will still be evicted.
|
|
However, the flush operation does retry with a delay several times
|
|
giving the client time to finish up what it's doing.
|
|
|
|
* We have timers all over the place with daemons waiting on replies.
|
|
It's possible that because we are no longer just evicting the clients,
|
|
we will now see those timers expire which will just lead to different
|
|
problems. If so, these fixes would probably need to take place in the
|
|
client code.
