Description W. Trevor King 2020-12-01 23:16:09 UTC
David Eads pointed out a panic in 4.6 CI [1,2]:

E1201 14:19:10.222361       1 runtime.go:78] Observed a panic: runtime.boundsError{x:0, y:0, signed:true, code:0x0} (runtime error: index out of range [0] with length 0)
goroutine 258 [running]:

	/go/src/github.com/openshift/cluster-version-operator/pkg/payload/task_graph.go:549 +0xf6c
...

The referenced line [3] is from [4], which is new in 4.6:

$ git log --oneline origin/master | grep 'Handle node pushing and result collection without a goroutine'
55ef3d30 pkg/payload/task_graph: Handle node pushing and result collection without a goroutine
$ git log --oneline origin/release-4.6 | grep 'Handle node pushing and result collection without a goroutine'
55ef3d30 pkg/payload/task_graph: Handle node pushing and result collection without a goroutine
$ git log --oneline origin/release-4.5 | grep -c 'Handle node pushing and result collection without a goroutine'
0

We should be able to name TaskNodes regardless of the presence of tasks within the node; some more on that in [5].  But for this particular case, we can probably just exclude task-less nodes from the logging.

Comment 1 W. Trevor King 2020-12-04 22:45:26 UTC
PR still needs a bit of work.

Comment 3 W. Trevor King 2021-02-02 18:57:25 UTC
Hard to trigger this reliably in a one-off cluster.  But we can let it sit for a day, and then check:

$ w3m -dump -cols 200 'https://search.ci.openshift.org/?maxAge=24h&type=junit&search=cluster-version-operator.*Observed+a+panic.*runtime+error:+index+out+of+range' | grep -- '-4\.[78].*failures match' | sort
branch-ci-openshift-cnv-cnv-ci-release-4.7-e2e-upgrade - 11 runs, 55% failed, 17% of failures match
periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-ocp-4.7-e2e-ovirt - 11 runs, 36% failed, 25% of failures match
periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-ocp-4.7-e2e-vsphere-upi-serial - 10 runs, 100% failed, 10% of failures match
release-openshift-ocp-installer-e2e-gcp-ovn-4.7 - 9 runs, 22% failed, 50% of failures match

to confirm it has drained down to zero.

Go through the bug, we can not reproduce and verify the issue in QE's cluster via several times test. So I check the ci logs as above way to verify the bug.

# w3m -dump -cols 200 'https://search.ci.openshift.org/?maxAge=24h&type=junit&search=cluster-version-operator.*Observed+a+panic.*runtime+error:+index+out+of+range' | grep -- '-4\.[78].*failures match' | sort
release-openshift-ocp-installer-e2e-azure-4.7 - 8 runs, 38% failed, 33% of failures match  --[1]
release-openshift-origin-installer-e2e-azure-upgrade-4.6-stable-to-4.7-ci - 4 runs, 25% failed, 100% of failures match  --[2]
release-openshift-origin-installer-e2e-gcp-upgrade-4.7-stable-to-4.8-ci - 4 runs, 100% failed, 25% of failures match   --[3]

[1] was an old build(4.7.0-0.nightly-2021-01-29-162805) before pr merged.
[2] was an upgrade from v4.6.16(need backport in 1924194).
[3] was an upgrade from 4.7.0-fc.5 before pr merged.

All above three jobs can be excluded. So verify the bug.
