expr: division by zero

--- Additional comment from Nathan Kinder on 2017-08-03 17:10:56 EDT ---

I think this may be a problem related to the tripleo-heat-template related to the token flush cronjob (though I am admittedly not an expert on puppet or t-h-t).

The puppet-keystone code is only supposed to add a sleep to the token flush cronjob is maxdelay is a positive integer.  The code that checks for this is here:

    https://github.com/openstack/puppet-keystone/blob/b479685940e27dea5fa86155e3a2ba6878865abc/manifests/cron/token_flush.pp#L70-L74

As you can see in the above code, a maxdelay of 0 should result in $sleep being set to an empty string.  The crontab shown in this bug clearly shows that maxdelay must have been 0, yet $sleep was set.

If you look at the t-h-t code for this, it uses a maxdelay default of 0, but the type is 'string':

    https://github.com/openstack/tripleo-heat-templates/blob/617e5f1022da5309328a1d9c96399c1fedd257ec/puppet/services/keystone.yaml#L180-L184

My theory is that the type is incorrect in t-h-t.  Because it is a string, the evaluation of "if $maxdelay == 0" in puppet-keystone ends up being false since we are comparing the number 0 to the string "0".  I think that the type for KeystoneCronTokenFlushMaxDelay in t-h-t should be 'number'.  I don't have an install currently to personally test this theory, so it would be great if you could try it out to prove/disprove it.

Comment 1 Nathan Kinder 2017-08-30 16:07:25 UTC
The fix to tripleo-heat-templates has merged upstream for master:

  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/490748/
  
There is a related change to puppet-keystone to perform better validation, but that isn't really needed to fix this issue.  We can consider this fixed with just the t-h-t patch.  For reference, the puppet-keystone review is here:
