Description John Coleman 2020-03-12 20:29:04 UTC
Description of problem:

apiserver pods were in a CrashLoopBackoff state:

$ oc get pods -n openshift-apiserver
NAME              READY   STATUS             RESTARTS   AGE

apiserver-zw4kx   0/1     CrashLoopBackOff   11         36m

Logs for the apiserver pods:

We created a debug pod and attempted to curl etcd and could not reach it:

  * Could not resolve host: etcd.openshift-etcd.svc; Unknown error
  * Closing connection 0
  curl: (6) Could not resolve host: etcd.openshift-etcd.svc; Unknown error

This issue was solved by inspecting the DNS operator logs:

openshift-dns-operator
----------------------
2020-02-27T21:24:19.449200823Z time="2020-02-27T21:24:19Z" level=error msg="failed to reconcile request /default: failed to ensure dns default: failed to create service for dns default: failed to create dns service: Service \"dns-default\" is invalid: spec.clusterIP: Invalid value: \"10.253.159.10\": provided IP is already allocated"

Then having the customer check to see if IP was already in use, which we found that it was.  We had the customer remove the conflicting service, and the apiserver pods went into a running state.

We believe that it must have been a timing issue during the original installation or the Service was deleted at some point and another Service pending creation quickly snagged the IP.

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

OpenShift 4.2.z

How reproducible:

This occurred on 2 out of 5 clusters within customers infrastructure.

Additional info:

One thing to note is that the customer did tweak the SDN and Service CIDR's, they also installed with Calico plugin.  See below:

Comment 1 Dan Mace 2020-03-13 12:11:22 UTC
Seems unlikely this is a regression, so I'm moving it out of the 4.4 release.

Comment 2 Daneyon Hansen 2020-03-30 21:21:47 UTC
network.config/cluster shows a service cidr of 10.253.158.0/24. This means available host addresses are 10.253.158.1-.254. The service IP assigned to the default cluster dns service is 10.253.159.10, which is outside of the service cidr scope. This appears to be a the results of a degraded state caused by a network.config/cluster misconfiguration.

Comment 5 Daneyon Hansen 2020-04-03 22:18:19 UTC
SDN IPAM should not be allocating the <SERVICE_CIDR>.10 address. This address is reserved for the DNS service IP. I see the Calico plugin is in play, so maybe a static IP was assigned [1] to the openshift-marketplace service? Reassigning to the SDN team to provide input.

Hi

> One thing to note is that the customer did tweak the SDN and Service CIDR's, they also installed with Calico plugin.

Tweaking the service CIDR is not supported post cluster installation. This could the reason for the IP collision. 

I will have to close this bug as WONTFIX.

Comment 11 Maciej Szulik 2020-05-05 14:56:14 UTC
NodeIPAMController although it's part of kube-controller-manager is under the networking team, so moving accordingly.

Comment 16 Daneyon Hansen 2020-05-14 19:58:09 UTC
The dns operator allocates the 10th IP from the network config serviceCIDR [1] to the DNS service cluster IP [2].

The marketplace operator should not be getting installed before the dns operator, see [3][4][5] for details. It does not appear that the marketplace operator follows the run level schema identified in [3]. However, I followed the Calico install guide [6] for OCP and had no issue installing a cluster using 4.5.0-0.nightly-2020-05-04-113741:

Comment 18 Daneyon Hansen 2020-05-15 17:16:13 UTC
> Could you please revise the dns-operator to handle such a case?

If we allow the DNS service IP to be arbitrary, I'm confident cluster operators (the human kind), app devs, etc are going to be very unhappy. <service_cidr>.10 has been used for DNS a long time by OCP and upstream k8s installs (kubeadm). Having a consistent IP for key infra endpoints (apiserver, default gateways, DNS, etc.) simplifies management and troubleshooting. I think we need to figure out a way to continue using .10. Since k8s does not provide a mechanism for reserving an IP from the service cidr, let me see if we can create the DNS service as part of the initial install.

Comment 19 Daneyon Hansen 2020-05-18 19:03:04 UTC
Blocked waiting for feedback [1] regarding the installer's ability to create the DNS Service early during the install process to ensure DNS always gets the <service_cidr>.10 address.

Comment 27 Daneyon Hansen 2020-08-06 18:05:36 UTC
@Frank,

The dns operator reserves the <SERVICE_CIDR>.10 address (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1813062#c16 [1] for details). This address is reserved because the kubelet is configured by MCO with the same <SERVICE_CIDR>.10. Making this address configurable in the dns operator is a breaking change. Please create an RFE or open an MCO bug that references this BZ for additional background.

Comment 35 Brandon Anderson 2020-08-27 17:43:25 UTC
Hi, I've got another case 02666014 that appears to be related to this issue. Are there any updates on the QA process that I can relay to the cu?

Comment 36 Daneyon Hansen 2020-08-27 18:05:24 UTC
Brandon,

Note that the PR waiting to be QE'd is to surface dns operator status conditions for this use case and does not fix the underlying issue. As previously mentioned, the <service_cidr>.10 IP is required for the DNS Service IP. For standard installations this is not an issue due to components following CVO run-levels:

Comment 38 Hongan Li 2020-08-28 02:15:59 UTC
verified with 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-08-27-005538 and passed.

test step:
1. disable dns operator temporarily
   $ oc -n openshift-dns-operator scale deploy/dns-operator --replicas=0
2. delete the existing dns-default service that taking the IP 172.30.0.10.
   $ oc -n openshift-dns delete svc dns-default
3. create another test service that taking the IP 172.30.0.10
   $ oc create service clusterip test-dns --tcp=53:53 --clusterip="172.30.0.10"
4. enable dns operator
   $ oc -n openshift-dns-operator scale deploy/dns-operator --replicas=1
5. check the dns operator and it should be degraded and shows message "No IP assigned to DNS service".

$ oc get co/dns

Comment 43 Daneyon Hansen 2020-09-08 16:16:47 UTC
> To note, I *do* see the upstream discussion on this as having the "fix" option just be to allow the DNS operator to fallback and use a different address if .10 is taken (I presume that's behind the direction that you were going with this), but is that the only realistic option? I'd think that it'd be a difficult case to make since our concern is a bit nebulous (we don't know what/who having a non-.10 DNS address might break).

Other options exist, but require an RFE. At this point, .10 is required for the DNS service IP.

> As noted, we can split this to a new bz/issue but the client hits this with some regularity and this bz shifted tack about mid-way from "making it work" to fixing the error handling (which is useful, but the cluster still doesn't reliably build). I'm trying to see how to best go about solving that.

We need to be provided a reproducer to consider other alternatives. It would be helpful to get Calico involved since the issue is related to running OCP with their networking plugin.
