@gitrgoliveira the behavior of the application inside the image is what's challenging about debugging this one. That's the information we'd really need to dig into this. |
I've done some more investigating with this in this gist: Note: the issue report above
isn't quite right. This should be modified to
Test job (See gist)This is a simple job with the cores resource set to There is a bash script in the docker container which reports whenever the current cpu set changes.
In the entrypoint to the container I call this script a number of times. Test CasesEntrypoint with 3 tasks before the long running taski.e. the entrypoint is set to this
The first time is a long-running background process, then a couple of very short lived foreground processes, then a long-lived foreground process. The output of running the container is thus:
i.e. we see the first three processes are run without the cpuset that nomad should have given them. The background task running in the container never gets its cpuset changed. The host cgroups for the long running container processes look like this
Entrypoint with only a background and long running taski.e. the entrypoint is set to this
Logs
Host Cgroups (never changes)
I.e. if we are too quick in starting processes they have the incorrect cpuset and that never gets rectified. Entrypoint of only one taski.e. removing the wrapper script and setting the entrypoint to
so that
Findings
WorkaroundsOne hacky solution is to ensure there is a sleep of a few hundred miliseconds at the start of the docker container's entrypoint, but clearly this isn't great! Expected behaviourI'd expect the cpuset to be correct before any processes have been started Potential Fixes / Mitigations
Note: This behaviour is consistent across the versions 1.1.6, 1.1.6+ent, 1.2.3. |
Hi @aholyoake-bc!
Ok, that was my suspicion on originally reading this issue, so thanks for verifying that for me. I seem to recall this was intentional in the original design, so I went back to our internal design document for this and found the following (ref NMD-098 for any HashiCorp-internal folks who might be reading this):
But I took a look at the current Docker Remote API documentation for So there are two takeaways here:

That's great - glad our fixes match up! |
This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1] enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems for Nomad users. Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer, but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2 this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process, rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved parents. Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2 mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support cgroups v2 are also not affected. When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected. Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version which will be set to "v1" or "v2" to indicate the cgroups regime in use by Nomad. The new cpuset management strategy fixes #11705, where docker tasks that spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of the leak is eliminated.

This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1] enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems for Nomad users. Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer, but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2 this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process, rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved parents. Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2 mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support cgroups v2 are also not affected. When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected. Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by Nomad. The new cpuset management strategy fixes #11705, where docker tasks that spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of the leak is eliminated.

I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 120 days ⏳. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues. |
Nomad version
1.1.6 - Enterprise
Issue
When the number of
cores
is defined in theresources
stanza, using the docker driver, this is only applied after the container has already started and is not being set for all of the PIDs of the container.This is a problem, because containers that have more than one process may get spawned before Nomad moves PID 1 to `/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/nomad/reserved/, which means the sub-processes may not get the assigned cores.
In this use case, one of the sub-processes pins threads to the available cores, which ends up getting “out-of-sync” because the assigned cores are changed after start-up.
Reproduction steps
Start a Nomad task with
A docker container having more than one process
Set the number of reserved cores in the resources stanza
Expected Result
Task should start directly under
/nomad/reserved
Actual Result
Task starts under
/nomad/shared/<alloc ID>/<task name>
and then gets moved to/nomad/reserved/<alloc ID>/<task name>
