Description Michal Skrivanek 2016-08-08 08:25:06 UTC
clone job doesn't work, so doing that manually

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1361028 +++

Description of problem:
   When VMs get non responding. It can happen that in some cases the executor tasks queue get full and exception TooManyTasks is raised. This causes the operation not being scheduled any more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
     vdsm-4.17.31-0.el7ev.noarch

How reproducible:
     Under heavy load and isue with qemu responsivness 

Steps to Reproduce:
     Not completely clear

Actual results:
     All VMs are marked as non-responding

Expected results:
     The task is scheduled as soon as there is some space in the tasks queue is 

Additional info:

vdsm.Scheduler::ERROR::2016-07-16 16:15:28,745::schedule::213::Scheduler::(_execute) Unhandled exception in <bound method Operation._try_to_dispatch of <virt.periodic.Operation object at 0x45ea390>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/schedule.py", line 211, in _execute
    self._callable()
  File "/usr/share/vdsm/virt/periodic.py", line 190, in _try_to_dispatch

  File "/usr/share/vdsm/virt/periodic.py", line 197, in _dispatch

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/executor.py", line 101, in dispatch
    self._tasks.put((callable, timeout))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/executor.py", line 256, in put

TooManyTasks



vdsm/virt/periodic.py:
...
class Operation(object):
...
     def _dispatch(self):
         """
         Send `func' to Executor to be run as soon as possible.
         """
         self._call = None
         self._executor.dispatch(self, self._timeout)
         self._step()

The exception comes from 

    self._executor.dispatch(self, self._timeout)

So self._step() is not executed and the operation is not scheduled

Comment 4 Israel Pinto 2016-09-11 08:41:19 UTC
Verified with 4.0.4.2-0.1
HOST: 
OS Version:RHEL - 7.2 - 9.el7_2.1
OS Description:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.2 (Maipo)
Kernel Version:3.10.0 - 327.30.1.el7.x86_64
KVM Version:2.3.0 - 31.el7_2.21
LIBVIRT Version:libvirt-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5
VDSM Version:vdsm-4.18.13-1.el7ev
SPICE Version:0.12.4 - 15.el7_2.2

Steps:
1. Modified /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf and added the lines:

[sampling]
periodic_workers = 1
periodic_task_per_worker = 1

2. restarted vdsm.
3. Created a vm pool with 8 vms.
4. Started all 8 vms.

result:
In vdsm.log:
vdsm.Scheduler::WARNING::2016-09-11 11:22:02,721::periodic::211::virt.periodic.Operation::(_dispatch) could not run <vdsm.virt.sampling.VMBulkSampler object at 0x21ed290>, executor queue full

Engine:
In the engine some of the vms are set to 'not responding' state for a short amount of time and when the previous tasks are done the vms are started as well until eventually all are up as expected.
