Description Amit Saha 2013-06-24 08:06:49 UTC

Description of problem:

Python 2.7 introduced a few changes to the way XML-RPC client server connections are handled by supporting HTTP/1.1 keep-alive (http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html).

This causes problems in Beaker lab controller daemons (beaker-proxy and beaker-provision) since it python-daemon DaemonContext closes all the open descriptors. Hence, when an attempt is made to use the proxy object (Which was supposed to be open due to keep-alive) it crashes:

hub.py:338:switch:SystemError: (libev) epoll_wait: Invalid argument

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


How reproducible:

Always, run beaker server in Apache and attempt to start beaker-provision using service beaker-provision start.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

Crash

Expected results:

Running as expected.


Additional info:

If the  connection is closed before daemonizing, the crash doesn't occur. 
dcallagh suggested the following fix which works:

if sys.version_info >= (2, 7):
       # force xmlrpclib.ServerProxy's persistent HTTP connection to be
       # closed, it will be reopened on the next call after daemonizing
       proxy.hub._hub('close')()

Comment 5 Amit Saha 2013-07-16 00:25:34 UTC

I think the only way to verify this is to actually set up a Beaker test environment on Fedora (Python 2.7): 

http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/#/c/2072/1/dev/guide/virtual-fedora/virtual-fedora.rst

Not sure if there are any less involved ways..

To be clearer, to verify you need to make sure that the lab controller daemons: beaker-provision, beaker-watchdog and beaker-proxy are all running (and do not die after starting). beaker-proxy needs the Beaker server to be running, which needs Apache and MySql server to be running...

Comment 7 xjia 2013-07-17 03:23:28 UTC

Will verify it until I can setup beaker env locally.

Comment 9 Dan Callaghan 2013-08-09 03:23:51 UTC

Beaker 0.14.1 has been released.
