Andrei Budnik commented on MESOS-9116:
--------------------------------------
(Note to myself) The following test fails if
`[getMountNamespaceTarget()`|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/077f122d52671412a2ab5d992d535712cc154002/src/slave/containerizer/mesos/utils.cpp#L59]
is modified in such a way that it always returns a parent pid:

{code}
> Flaky processes within POD cause failures of launch nested container due to a

> Launch nested container call might fail with the following error:

> Failed to enter mount namespace: Failed to open '/proc/29473/ns/mnt': No such
> file or directory
> {code}
> This happens when the containerizer launcher [tries to

> `mnt` namespace using the pid of a terminated process. The pid [was
> detected|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/077f122d52671412a2ab5d992d535712cc154002/src/slave/containerizer/mesos/containerizer.cpp#L1930-L1958]
> by the agent before spawning the containerizer launcher process because the
> process was still running.
> The flaky process within the POD can end up in D-state (unkillable). This
> process can be a child of a nested container process, so the agent doesn't
> know about it. Killing the nested container process doesn't mean that all its
> child processes, which stuck in D-state, are killed.
> For example, the nested container can be a custom executor which spawns its
> own tasks which might end up in D-state. Another example is when the
> containerizer launcher
> [spawns|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/077f122d52671412a2ab5d992d535712cc154002/src/slave/containerizer/mesos/launch.cpp#L755-L768]
> shell scripts like `mount` during its initialization.
> In that case, the agent might detect a process which should be already
> terminated, but it still exists because it's in D-state. At the moment when
> the containerizer launcher is spawned, the stuck process might disappear, so
> we get the error.
