Let's fix the spurious framework registration bug while we're at it! :)
Summary (updated)
-----------------
Fixed spurious registration bug in framework and agent.
Bugs: MESOS-6803
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6803
Repository: mesos
Description (updated)
-------
This issue appears when `HAS_AUTHENTICATION` is not defined. This commit
will resolve the issue, and fix tests that surfaced it (as well as some
associated errors that cause them to be flaky when this symbol is not
defined).
Currently when a new master is detected and no credential is provided,
the agent and framework (which have very similar registration code
paths) will attempt to (re)register after some random initial `delay`,
to avoid a "thundering herd" problem. It is hence possible to have
spurious double-(re)registrations, since a new master could be detected
after we add the `delay`d registration, but before we execute it.
In a degenerate case, suppose a single agent has a registration delay
of one minute. A master is brought up, to which, the agent successfully
registers. Prior to this commit, the agent will still have a scheduled
registration loop (`doReliableRegistration`) with a backoff factor.
If the master goes down and a new master is brought up, the agent
will race against itself (two ongoing loops of `doReliableRegistration`)
to register with the new master. If the first loop reaches the new
master first, authentication will fail and cause the agent to commit
suicide.
To resolve this problem, we store the value of the `Timer` returned by
`delay` in `doReliableRegistration` and cancel it when we have either
registered, or need to start a new cycle of registration. This solution
is implemented in both the framework code and the agent code.

Testing
-------
`make check` and `mesos-tests --gtest_repeat=1000 --gtest_break_on_failure` to
catch intermittent failures, which is how we caught the failing test in
`reservation_tests.cpp`. Note that this bug was discovered when we added a
`delay` to the call to `authenticate` in `slave::detected` (in order to get it
to match the behavior of the non-authenticated call to `doReliableRegistration`.
Thanks,
