Description Damien Ciabrini 2019-08-02 11:57:47 UTC
Description of problem:
A paunch container has three systemd files associated with it:
  1. tripleo_*.service - the regular systemd service generated by paunch
  2. libpod-conmon*.scope - created dynamically by podman. runs a conmon
     process that creates a pidfile for tripleo_*.service and monitor it.
  3. libpod-*.scope - created dynamically by runc. for cgroups accounting

The liveness of the scopes is directly tied to that of the podman
container started by tripleo_*.service. Moreover, paunch can only set
start/stop dependencies on 1., not 2. and 3.

On reboot, systemd is allowed to stop 2. or 3. at any time, which means
that it can happen that systemd stops the container's scopes _before_ the tripleo_*.service itself.

When such unexpected stop sequence happens, the paunch service can be
stopped before all the services it depends on (e.g. nova-compute can
be stopped before nova-libvirt), and this can cause restart issue
after reboot.

There's no option in podman to configure the scope file to not stop
before the paunch service is stopped. The only workaround so far is to
inject an additional drop-in file for each scope, with extra
dependencies that prevents systemd from stopping the scopes file
before the paunch service is stopped.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-10.6.1-0.20190729150510.74ae8ba.el8ost.noarch

How reproducible:
Depends on systemd shutdown ordering

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy a overcloud
2. shutdown a compute node

Actual results:
systemd may stop nova-compute before nova-libvirt while the former depends on the latter

Expected results:
the ordering should always be respected during shutdown

Comment 5 pkomarov 2019-08-14 11:57:56 UTC
Verified , 

correct ordering is seen during a shutdown : 
[root@compute-0 ~]# journalctl -b -1 |grep 'libvirt\|nova'|tail -n 2
Aug 14 11:40:08 compute-0 systemd[1]: Stopped nova_libvirt container.
Aug 14 11:40:18 compute-0 systemd[1]: Stopped nova_compute container.
