Andy Kurth created VCL-795:
------------------------------
Summary: Request processes are continuously created after end time
is reached if request state is 'inuse' and process initialization fails
Key: VCL-795
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-795
Project: VCL
Issue Type: Bug
Components: vcld (backend)
Affects Versions: 2.3.2
Reporter: Andy Kurth
Assignee: Andy Kurth
Fix For: 2.4
vcld will continuously and perpetually attempt to process a request under these
conditions:
* Request state: inuse
* Request end time has been reached (request.end is in the past)
* Processes spawned fail to initialize
An example where this can occur is for a reservation assigned to a VM and the
VM host provisioning object fails to initialize. state.pm::initialize calls
reservation_failed. There is a condition in reservation_failed to check for
the _inuse_ state. If _inuse_, the request and computer states are always set
back to _inuse_ even after the request end time has been reached. As a result,
the request stays in the database forever.
There is also no delay in between attempts because vcld sees the end time has
been reached and immediately makes another attempt. This causes vcld.log to
grow rapidly.
