Found a rare glitch where the subprocess pipes would not engage, causing
a daemon crash. Catch these exceptions with a retcode of 255 instead of
bailing out.
Closes#124
Libvirt will someones write junk out to console log files, which breaks
the log parser deque with a UnicodeDecodeError.
If this happens, clear the log and re-open the deque again for newer
updates.
Closes#123
Add nicer easy-to-find (yay ASCII art) banners for the startup printouts
of both the node and API daemons. Also adds the safe loader to pvcnoded
to prevent hassle messages and a version string in the API daemon file.
This caused a serious race condition, since the IPs managed by PVC had
not yet come up, but Zookeeper was trying to start and bind to them,
which of course failed.
Remove these dependencies entirely - the daemon itself starts these
services during initialization and they do not need to be started by
systemd first.
Sets in the node daemon, returns via the API, and shows in the CLI,
information about the live VNC listen address and port for VNC-enabled
VMs.
Closes#115
Prevents unnecessarily excessive timeouts if IPMI connections time out;
before, would have to go through 3 timed out commands at ~20s each
before failure was registered; reduced to 1 if the first times out.
If the VM is not in a stop state, failing to free the lock is now
considered a fatal error and will put the domain into fail state,
aborting the start. This is better than being unsafe or trying to start
a VM which will fail to boot due to read-only volumes.
Should correct issues on cold start as well as if a VM crashes
uncleanly, which would prevent the VM from starting due to stale RBD
locks.
This implementation has four parts:
1. Update how IP addresses are handled, specifically by replacing all
previous instances of "vni_ipaddr" with "vni_floatingipaddr", and then
adding the "vni_ipaddr" with the real data for this node's IPs. Also
include the storage IPs in this where they weren't before, so each
this_node actually has the local IPs plus floating IPs. This enables
the next two steps.
2. Modify flush_locks to take this_node as an argument, and update the
run_command function to only operate against this node, rather than on
the primary coordinator.
3. Have the flush_locks check each lock against the current node, to
verify that the lock is actually held by the current node. This is the
only way to do this safely. During fencing, we override this by not
passing a this_node which bypasses this check.
4. Have the VM start do the check for VM failure/startup and execute a
flush_locks before actually starting the VM.
Instead of each node uploading its own OSD stats, which would not work
if the PVC daemon wasn't running, instead have the primary upload stats
for all OSDs in the cluster.
Allow a VM to specify its migration type as a default choice. The valid
options are "default" (i.e. behave as now), "live" which forces a live
migration only, and "shutdown" which forces a shutdown migration only.
The new option is treated as a VM meta option and is set to default if
not found.
Avoids situations where two migrates, to different nodes, happen in
rapid succession. Aborts the migration if the current target node no
longer matches what was set at the start of the execution.
The VM migration code was very old, very spaghettified, and prone to
strange failures.
Improve this by taking cues from the node primary migration. Use
synchronization between the nodes to ensure lockstep completion of the
migration in discrete steps.
A proper queue can be built later to integrate with this code more
cleanly.

Use the new "provisioned" memory field, instead of the "allocated"
memory field, to determine the optimal node when using the "mem"
migration selector. This will take into account non-running VMs in the
calculation as well as running VMs.
Adds a separate field to the node memory, "provisioned", which totals
the amount of memory provisioned to all VMs on the node, regardless of
state, and in contrast to "allocated" which only counts running VMs.
Allows for the detection of potential overprovisioned states when
factoring in non-running VMs.
Includes the supporting code to get this data, since the original
implementation of VM memory selection was dependent on the VM being
running and getting this from libvirt. Now, if the VM is not active, it
gets this from the domain XML instead.
Prevents any potential leakage due to autoconfigured IPv6 on bridged
interfaces. These are exclusively VM-side bridges, and the PVC host
should not have any IPv6 configuration on them, ever.
Prevents a bug where the thread can crash due to a change in the
d_domain object while running the for loop. By copying and iterating
over the copy, this becomes safer.
The keepalive was getting stuck gathering memoryStats from the
non-running VM, since it was in a paused state. Avoid this by just
skipping past the rest of the stats gathering if the VM isn't running.
Most of these would silently fail if there was e.g. an issue with the ZK
connection. Instead, encase things in try blocks and handle the
exceptions in a more graceful way, returning None or False if
applicable. Except for locks, which should retry 5 times before
aborting.
Using simple print statements was annoying (lack of timing info and
formatting), so move to using the debug logger for these instead with a
custom state ('d') with white text to differentiate them. Also indicate
which subthread of the keepalive each task is being executed in for
easier tracing of issues.
Verify our IPMI state on startup, and then warn if fencing will fail.
For now, this is sufficient, but in future (requires refactoring) we
might want to adjust how fencing occurs based on this information.
Using the Ceph library was a disaster here; it had no timeout or way to
force it to continue, so keepalives would become stuck and trigger fence
storms. Go back to the manual osd dump command with a 2s timeout which
is far more reliable and can be adequately terminated if it runs long.
Prevent the main keepalive thread from getting stuck due to a subthread
taking an enormous time. If this happens, the rest of the main keepalive
will continue onward, thus ensuring that the main keepalive does not
fail for a significant number of cycles, which would cause a fence.
