Title:
L3 agent restart does not SIGHUP running keepalived processes
Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
Fix Released
Status in neutron juno series:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Per
https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/agent/linux/keepalived.py#L405:
When the L3 agent starts, it invokes keepalived_manager spawn method,
which spawns the the underlying keepalived process, unless it's
already running. This issue only manifests for L3 agent restarts,
because for an already-running agent, when it reconfigures keepalived
due to an RPC update call, it does successfully sends a SIGHUP signal
to the process.
The effect is that restarting a L3 agent does not SIGHUP any running
keepalived processes. So, for example, if the L3 agent crashes and is
started again a minute or two later (This is dependent on timers
configured for external tools such as Pacemaker), the L3 agent resyncs
with the controller but doesn't SIGHUP any existing keepalived
processes. This means that any updates that happened during the L3
agent downtime will be picked up during that initial resync, but the
agent won't actually reconfigure keepalived.
It is also an issue during upgrades for reasons similar to what's
explained above, as it's actually an identical flow. Fixing this bug
is a precondition to a couple of other fixes if we want backports to
actually fix their respective issues on Juno.
