It is possible that by the time we check for multiattach
error on node, the reconciler loop may not have processed second
volume and hence we are going to retry for multiattach error
on node before giving up and marking the test as failed.
Only relying on the NewAttacher/Detacher call counts is not enough as they
happen in parallel to the testing/verification code and thus the actual
attaching/detaching may not be done yet, resulting in flaky test results.
Fixes#46244
When the attach/detach controller crashes and a pod with attached PV is deleted
afterwards the controller will never detach the pod's attached volumes. To
prevent this the controller should try to recover the state from the nodes
status.
At master volume reconciler, the information about which volumes are
attached to nodes is cached in actual state of world. However, this
information might be out of date in case that node is terminated (volume
is detached automatically). In this situation, reconciler assume volume
is still attached and will not issue attach operation when node comes
back. Pods created on those nodes will fail to mount.
This PR adds the logic to periodically sync up the truth for attached volumes kept in the actual state cache. If the volume is no longer attached to the node, the actual state will be updated to reflect the truth. In turn, reconciler will take actions if needed.
To avoid issuing many concurrent operations on cloud provider, this PR
tries to add batch operation to check whether a list of volumes are
attached to the node instead of one request per volume.
More details are explained in PR #33760
We had another bug where we confused the hostname with the NodeName.
To avoid this happening again, and to make the code more
self-documenting, we use types.NodeName (a typedef alias for string)
whenever we are referring to the Node.Name.
A tedious but mechanical commit therefore, to change all uses of the
node name to use types.NodeName
Also clean up some of the (many) places where the NodeName is referred
to as a hostname (not true on AWS), or an instanceID (not true on GCE),
etc.
