Better messaging for missing volume binaries on host #36280

@rkouj rkouj commented Nov 5, 2016

What this PR does / why we need it:
When mount binaries are not present on a host, the error returned is a generic one.
This change is to check the mount binaries before the mount and return a user-friendly error message.

This change is specific to GCI and the flag is experimental now.

#36098

Release note:
Introduces a flag check-node-capabilities-before-mount which if set, enables a check (CanMount()) prior to mount operations to verify that the required components (binaries, etc.) to mount the volume are available on the underlying node. If the check is enabled and CanMount() returns an error, the mount operation fails. Implements the CanMount() check for NFS.


This change is Reviewable

Space at the start of comments.

Also, I recommend being more descriptive on interface comments so that those trying to implement the interface quickly understand everything they need to know to implement the method:
CanMount is called immediately prior to SetUp to check if the required components (binaries, etc.) are available on the underlying node to complete the subsequent SetUp (mount) operation. If CanMount returns false, the mount operation is aborted and an event is generated indicating that the node does not have the required binaries to complete mount. If CanMount returns true, the mount operation continues normally. The CanMount check can be enabled or disabled using the experimental-check-mount-binaries binary flag.

nit: Personal preference, I like to maintain a column width of 80.

Renaming sucks but I'm going to recommend checkNodeCapabilitiesBeforeMount instead of checkBinariesBeforeMount in all the files. It is more verbose, but it is less likely to become inaccurate: the checks you have at the moment only look for binaries, but other plugins may want to check for kernel modules or something else in the future.

Instead of returning a bool, how about returning an error. So that if the check fails plugins can return an error with a message for what exactly is missing. e.g. Required binary /sbin/mount.nfs4 is missing. The caller, operation executor, can then use this message in the user visible error to provide more actionable information.

(Update the comment accordingly).

How about:

Here is how you can implement the "put the pod in a failed state" functionality:

  • In the volumeManager, introduce a new custom error, NonRecoverableVolumeError.
  • Have operation executor return the new NonRecoverableVolumeError instead of a standard error when the CanMount() check fails.
  • In this file, modify volumeManager.WaitForAttachAndMount to handle the new volumemanager.NonRecoverableVolumeError and when it is detected, in addition to the usual error handling behavior, set the pod status to failed.
    • See rejectPod() method in this file for example.

nit: Let's not even call CanMount() if checkNodeCapabilitiesBeforeMount == false. It doesn't make much of a difference, but in the case that there is a bug in a CanMount() implementation that causes a panic, for example, checkNodeCapabilitiesBeforeMount can then be used to completely avoid the check (vs the way it is CanMount() would always be called).

I had that in mind previously but didn't change it because it affects the readability of code. (It's not immediately visible if the CanMount() is called in the second statement of the if block and for now since it's unlikely to cause a panic with only the nfs implementation.)

But in the future some other implementation of CanMount() can cause a panic, so I'll move it.

I would put the bulk of the common message here, and have plugins only return only the description of what exactly is missing:

The intent behind this message is that it would change with each plugin and I wanted to make this nfs specific (since it has the word binaries in it).

Like you mentioned in the previous comment that for different plugins, the mount capabilities might not necessarily depend on binaries, each plugin would describe what is missing and based on the error, there would a specific message as to which binary was missing.

I have changed it now.

@rkouj there are a lot of conflicts with this cherry-pick would you mind opening it since you are more familiar with the code?

@jessfraz, @rkouj plans to prepare a cherry pick as soon as @jingxu97's mounter changes are in 1.4 (this PR depends on that). If @jingxu97's changes look like they may miss 1.4.7 (for any reason), then @rkouj will cherry pick this PR anyway (working around the dependency on @jingxu97's mounter PR).

This PR must be cherry-picked along with #36686

**Release note**:
Introduces a flag `check-node-capabilities-before-mount` which if set, enables a check (`CanMount()`) prior to mount operations to verify that the required components (binaries, etc.) to mount the volume are available on the underlying node. If the check is enabled and `CanMount()` returns an error, the mount operation fails. Implements the `CanMount()` check for NFS.
