RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

docker-1.12.6-28.git1398f24.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Container install ocp3.5(one master/node/etcd + one nfs)
2.Upgrade  ocp3.5 to ocp3.6
# ansible-playbook -i hosts /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/byo/openshift-cluster/upgrades/v3_6/upgrade.yml

Actual results:
Upgrade failed.

Expected results:
Upgrade succeed.

Additional info:
Tried to start master server manually, failed. Tried to restart docker,failed.   Reboot host, then master and docker services restored. Re-run upgrade playbook, failed again at the same task.

Comment 2 liujia 2017-05-27 09:33:05 UTC
Now, all upgrade tests against container env have been blocked. Add "TestBlocker" keywords.

Comment 3 Scott Dodson 2017-05-30 16:04:57 UTC
liujia,

If you `yum downgrade docker-1.12.6-16.el7` and restart prior to performing the upgrade does it work? I suspect this may be a regression in docker.

I think you are right. If downgrade docker to 1.12.6-16, upgrade succeed. Then this bug will not block left test. Thx~

Comment 5 Scott Dodson 2017-05-31 13:39:39 UTC
Assigning to containers as this looks to be a docker regression.

Comment 6 Wang Haoran 2017-06-01 07:08:19 UTC
This is not restricted to upgrade scenario, I have a new cluster with the new docker installed, it works at first, but after running some testing, the docker is broken with the error:
failed at task [Restart master] for a devicemapper error: Can't set cookie dm_task_set_cookie failed.

Comment 7 Scott Dodson 2017-06-01 13:17:39 UTC
For the containers team, Restart master tasks just calls `systemctl restart atomic-openshift-master` and this is the unit definition.

Comment 8 Alasdair Kergon 2017-06-01 15:29:00 UTC
Anyone got a pointer to the bit of source code producing that message?

Comment 9 Alasdair Kergon 2017-06-01 15:36:14 UTC
(All failure modes of the dm_task_set_cookie function issue a low-level error message, so perhaps that can be extracted - or the logging fixed if it wasn't captured.)

Comment 10 Alasdair Kergon 2017-06-01 15:40:06 UTC
(I don't know what parameters are used by this caller's source code, but there can be several dependencies here including use of semaphores and /dev/urandom.)

Comment 11 Johnny Liu 2017-06-07 03:39:05 UTC
I also encounter this issue on 3.5 too.

containerized install on RHEL + openshift v3.5.5.24 + docker-1.12.6-28.git1398f24.el7.x86_64, failed at restart master.

containerized install on RHEL + openshift v3.4.1.32 + docker-1.12.6-28.git1398f24.el7.x86_64, PASS.

Comment 12 Johnny Liu 2017-06-14 07:45:39 UTC
This is blocking testing with latest docker version.

Comment 13 Vivek Goyal 2017-06-14 12:19:23 UTC
I am thinking this probably is semaphore leak issue where we have exhausted maximum number of semaphores on system.

https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/33603

Can you provide output of following commands.

- dmsetup udevcookies
- ipcs
- cat /proc/sys/kernel/sem

On the failing system, try running "dmsetup udevcomplete_all and see if that gets you going.

I will also need an easy way to reproduce this problem to figure out why leak is happening.

Can you attach journal logs of failing system. Want to see if there are any messages there which indicate towards possible udev issue or something else.

Comment 37 Giovanni Tirloni 2017-06-19 16:48:19 UTC
Just faced this issue after I stress tested a Kubernetes 1.6.5 cluster (asked it to scale a nginx deployment to 800 replicas). I noticed containers were failing to get created. I tried to restart Docker but the same error ("devicemapper: Can't set cookie dm_task_set_cookie failed") continued. Providing logs in case it's useful here.

Increasing the semaphores limits fixed the issue for me. Thanks for the insights.

Comment 42 Daniel Walsh 2017-06-19 18:38:58 UTC
This is definitely a BLOCKER Bug.  Need to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Pull request is upstream

https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/33732

Hopefully merged soon, we will need this back ported to projectatomic/docker.

and in docker-1.12.6-32.git88a4867.el7.x86_64

#dmsetup udevcookies shows nothing.

Comment 50 liujia 2017-06-20 08:34:33 UTC
Version:
docker-1.12.6-32.git88a4867.el7.x86_64

scenario 1-pass:
1. Container install ocp3.5 on docker-1.12.6-32
2. New-app to trigger sti-build
3. restart atomic-openshift-master/atomic-openshift-node/docker service


scenario 2-pass:
1. Trigger upgrade above ocp3.5(with docker-1.12.6-32) to ocp3.6
2. New-app after upgrade


OCP 3.5 with docker-1.12.6-32 works well.
Upgrade ocp3.5 with docker-1.12.6-32 works well

Comment 51 Johnny Liu 2017-06-20 08:41:10 UTC
containerized install on RHEL + openshift v3.6.116 + docker-1.12.6-32.git88a4867.el7.x86_64, PASS.
