Description Angelo Gabrieli 2020-11-12 08:54:56 UTC
Description of problem:

Openshift 4.5.7 cluster shows several projects/namespaces with `netid` 0 or 1:


$ oc get netnamespace

The cluster looks installed with NetworkPolicy default plugin and with no NetworkPolicy rules:

$ oc get networkpolicy -A
 No resources found
$

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Openshift 4.5.7
SDN pod image: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:14af12f0b04ffdce223dd61d4f9ea68380c15fc6ccf6b0970a1e6647ad29f07a


How reproducible:
Customer experienced this issue upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 and finally to 4.5 (cluster installed as 4.2)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.


Actual results:

Network communication is broken between projects/namespaces


Expected results:

Network communication allowed between projects/namespaces

> The cluster looks installed with NetworkPolicy default plugin and with no NetworkPolicy rules:

No, it really looks like it's installed with openshift-sdn in the Multitenant mode, in which case this behavior is expected.

(We should fix this error message though. It shouldn't be logging that.)

Comment 2 Juan Luis de Sousa-Valadas 2020-11-12 15:10:20 UTC
Hi Dan, 
Exactly my thoughts, I spoke with Angelo about this and it's effectively multitenant:

apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
kind: Network
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-02-20T15:21:10Z"
  generation: 1
  name: cluster
  resourceVersion: "430"
  selfLink: /apis/operator.openshift.io/v1/networks/cluster
  uid: 9fd5b0f2-53f4-11ea-9964-005056ba4c5e
spec:
  clusterNetwork:
  - cidr: 150.128.0.0/14
    hostPrefix: 23
  defaultNetwork:
    openshiftSDNConfig:
      mode: Multitenant
      mtu: 1450
      vxlanPort: 4789
    type: OpenShiftSDN
  serviceNetwork:
  - 140.30.0.0/16

I have a PR to fix the error message.

Comment 3 Juan Luis de Sousa-Valadas 2020-11-12 15:11:38 UTC
Angelo,
Regarding how to solve the communication issues:
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.5/networking/openshift_sdn/multitenant-isolation.html#nw-multitenant-joining_multitenant-isolation

Except for the error message everything is expected behavior.

Hi,

@jdesousa from where do you get that network configuration.

During the live session we had with the customer, support requested to the customer to gather the network configuration and mode multitenant is not there. The terminal output was exported and is attached to the RedHat case.

oc get network cluster -o yaml

apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: Network
metadata:

Sorry, I have just realized we are not checking the same object. I will review again.

Comment 6 Juan Luis de Sousa-Valadas 2020-11-12 16:45:28 UTC
That yaml output was provided by Angelo Gabrieli in a private conversation in Slack about 2 hours ago.

Comment 8 Arti Sood 2020-12-09 18:02:13 UTC
Steps to reproduce:-

1. Create 4.5.22 cluster with multi tenant mode with flexy template https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/aosqe/flexy-templates/-/blob/master/functionality-testing/aos-4_5/ipi-on-aws/versioned-installer-multitenant-ci

oc version
Client Version: 4.6.6
Server Version: 4.5.22
Kubernetes Version: v1.18.3+616db59

oc get clusternetwork
NAME      CLUSTER NETWORK   SERVICE NETWORK   PLUGIN NAME
default   10.128.0.0/14     172.30.0.0/16     redhat/openshift-ovs-multitenant

oc get network.operator -o yaml | grep mode
              f:mode: {}
        mode: Multitenant


2. Create new project and pod in the new project 
   oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/verification-tests/master/testdata/networking/pod-for-ping.json

3. check logs of all the pods sdn-controller-* in openshift-sdn project to see the error messages. 
   oc logs sdn-controller-7tbwk


oc logs sdn-controller-tmq6x | grep 'unable to allocate'

Comment 9 Dan Brahaney 2020-12-09 18:11:04 UTC
On 4.7 (registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release:4.7.0-0.nightly-2020-12-09-112139) I am ubable to reproduce the errors from sdn-controller pods.

Using the following steps, asood was able to reproduce the bug on 4.5, and then I was able to use the same steps to verify the bug is no longer present in 4.7.

❯ oc project openshift-sdn
Now using project "openshift-sdn" on server "https://api.dbrahane-4-7-1209-multitenant.qe.devcluster.openshift.com:6443".
❯ oc get pods
NAME                   READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
sdn-controller-7r85b   1/1     Running   0          164m
sdn-controller-b6n95   1/1     Running   0          164m
sdn-controller-rcwql   1/1     Running   0          164m
❯ oc create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/verification-tests/master/testdata/networking/pod-for-ping.json
❯ oc logs sdn-controller-b6n95 | grep "unable to allocate"

❯ oc logs sdn-controller-rcwql | grep "unable to allocate"

❯ oc logs sdn-controller-7r85b | grep "unable to allocate"

Comment 10 Juan Luis de Sousa-Valadas 2020-12-10 08:24:50 UTC
Hi, the target release for this bug is 4.7, therefore I think this should be verified. The fix was merged in master last week, so it's expected that the problem is still reproducible in 4.5 and 4.6.

Comment 11 Arti Sood 2020-12-10 13:54:17 UTC
Comment#8 is reproduction in 4.5.22 and Comment#9 is verification in 4.7.
Still waiting for fix in 4.5 and 4.6.

Marking it verified as per comment #9.

Comment 12 Juan Luis de Sousa-Valadas 2020-12-10 14:43:51 UTC
Hi Arti,
We normally don't backport anything unless it's having an impact. Is there any real impact? Has any customer requested it?
Don't get me wrong, if someone needs the backport I'm happy to do it, but I don't think it has any actual impact because the only customer that I know has complained about it is already aware that they can ignore it.

Comment 13 Arti Sood 2020-12-10 16:36:42 UTC
Hi Juan,

Discussed with Anurag and as per your comment as for now there is no actual impact known but we are not sure about performance impact of logging in large scale cluster at this point.

We can mark it verified for now and open a new bug for prior releases if necessary.

Comment 14 Juan Luis de Sousa-Valadas 2020-12-10 16:49:05 UTC
Hi Arti,
It's just printing 7 lines (once per netnamespace with netid 1) every time a project is createdand when the cluster is started. I don't think it's worth investigating it. Anyway if you still think it may be a problem I'll do an automatic cherry-pick, it's not complex enough to waste anybody's time checking if it can actually decrease performance.

Comment 15 Arti Sood 2020-12-11 00:58:38 UTC
Hi Juan,

Let us do it. There may be some customers as I found out continue to use 4.5 and 4.6.

Thank You!

Comment 16 Anurag saxena 2020-12-11 01:10:16 UTC
Thanks for clarification Juan and thanks for verifying it Arti and Dan. Agree with Juan, this is not recurring and its just 7 lines in the start when namespaces with netid 1 gets created during cluster bring up (in multitenant mode). Juan, I am not sure if customers like Verizon is using multitenant mode or not in 4.6, if not we may not need back porting.
