This change ensures that iSCSI block devices are deleted after unmounting, and implements scanning of individual LUNs rather than scanning the whole iSCSI bus. In cases where an iSCSI bus is in use by more than one attachment, detaching used to leave behind phantom block devices, which could cause I/O errors, long timeouts, or even corruption in the case when the underlying LUN number was recycled. This change makes sure to flush references to the block devices after unmounting. The original iSCSI code scanned the whole target every time a LUN was attached. On storage controllers that export multiple LUNs on the same target IQN, this led to a situation where nodes would see SCSI disks that they weren't supposed to -- possibly dozens or hundreds of extra SCSI disks. This caused 3 significant problems: 1) The large number of disks wasted resources on the node and caused a minor drag on performance. 2) The scanning of all the devices caused a huge number of uevents from the kernel, causing udev to bog down for multiple minutes in some cases, triggering timeouts and other transient failures. 3) Because Kubernetes was not tracking all the "extra" LUNs that got discovered, they would not get cleaned up until the last LUN on a particular target was detached, causing a logout. This led to significant complications: In the time window between when a LUN was unintentially scanned, and when it was removed due to a logout, if it was deleted on the backend, a phantom reference remained on the node. In the best case, the phantom LUN would cause I/O errors and timeouts in the udev system. In the worst case, the backend could reuse the LUN number for a new volume, and if that new volume were to be scheduled to a pod with a phantom reference to the old LUN by the same number, the initiator could get confused and possibly corrupt data on that volume. To avoid these problems, the new implementation only scans for the specific LUN number it expects to see. It's worth noting that the default behavior of iscsiadm is to automatically scan the whole bus on login. That behavior can be disabled by setting node.session.scan = manual in iscsid.conf, and for the reasons mentioned above, it is strongly recommended to set that option. This change still works regardless of the setting in iscsid.conf, and while automatic scanning will cause some problems, this change doesn't make the problems any worse, and can make things better in some cases. |
