kubernetes continually evict pod when node's inode exhausted

kubernetes等容器技术可以将所有的业务进程运行在公共的资源池中,提高资源利用率,节约成本,但是为避免不同进程之间相互干扰,对底层docker, kubernetes的隔离性就有了更高的要求,kubernetes作为一门新盛的技术,在这方面还不够成熟, 近期在一个staging集群就发生了,inode资源被耗尽的事件:

现象

在测试集群中,许多pod被Evicted掉

pod驱逐一般发生在某个node状态notready后,比如说磁盘写满,网络异常等,此时kuernetes就会将该异常node上面的pod进行驱逐,以免影响服务实例数,但是上面显示的如此频繁的驱逐是一定有问题的,机器状态不稳定,不断的flapping,执行kubectl describe node node04之后发现是由于node04机器上inode资源不足导致:

登录到node04,查看后确实/home分区inode数据可用比较少

[root@node04 gaorong]# df -i

解决

首先需要确定到底是那个服务导致inode耗尽的,确定inode占用较多的是那个目录, 根据目录可以确定是那个服务了,这里使用inodes这个工具来显示每个目录的占用inodes数目,发现/home/docker/aufs这个目录占用较多:

------------------------------------------

/home/docker/aufs目录是docker采用aufs作为storage driver时用来存储镜像layer的目录,镜像中的每个文件都会在这里找到对应的文件。(docker默认的存储位置是/var/lib/docker,此环境因为项目需要改为/home/docker目录),aufs中小文件太多导致inode耗尽也是是比较常见的问题,如果使用deviceMapper等这种块设备的storage driver就不存在这个问题了。kubernetes会定期自动清理imagefs中的文件,删除没用的镜像和容器, 如果还是没有足够的资源的话才会驱逐pod。经过确认之后,该node上面的镜像都在使用中, kubernetes应该是尽力去清理镜像了, 清理完之后还是有inode pressure, 于是只能驱逐pod了, 驱逐之后node状态变为ready , 随后有新创建的pod会调度到该node上面,运行一段时间后inode资源又不足, 又进行驱逐回收... 如此循环往复,导致集群状态不稳定,有大量的pod被evict掉。因为Image资源我们没有办法继续清理,只能交给kubernetes去回收了。看看还有那些目录占用资源较多。
上面显示aufs占用的是673320,但df -i显示占用的inode数目是819200,说明还有其他地方导致占用比较多,约20w。仔细查找后发现另一个占用比较多的目录home/docker/volumes

/home/docker/volumes目录是docker创建的,用于支持VOLUME 定义匿名卷,(默认路径是 /var/lib/docker/volumes , 此处是由于项目需要改变为 /home/docker/volumes目录)。我们平时启动容器的时候,挂载数据卷一般是执行docker run -ti -v /home/gaorong/:/home/gaorong nginx,这样就将容器里的"/home/gaorong"目录和宿主机上的"/home/gaorong"绑定在一起, 但是如果我们没有显式指定要挂载在宿主机的那个目录, 那docker 只能为其创建一个默认的目录了,比如执行docker run -ti -v /home/gaorong nginx, 他在容器中的目录"/home/gaorong",其实挂载的是宿主机上/var/libe/docker/volumes这个目录。
我们看看里面有些什么?

可以看到其中有许多小文件,该集群中有些CICD 任务, 下载了许多源码文件,小而多的文件占用inode较多。 我们可以通过docker volume ls查看到目前没有被删除的匿名volume

[root@node04 volumes]# docker volume ls
DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               3a42fa60c84ebf1363c9b65c874a86e5663c883f2629edd0ac22575893f9a9ae

接下来就需要定位是那个容器/pod创建的,为什么会创建匿名volume。 执行docker ps -a | grep -v NAME | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker inspect | grep -B 100 3a42fa60c84ebf1363c9b65c874a86e5663c883f2629edd0ac22575893f9a9ae看一看是哪个容器创建的这些volume,找到其中一个容器 docker inpsect一下:

原来是DockerFile中指定了VOLUME,但在启动改pod/容器的时候却没有mount到具体的某个目录,所以就会docker会创建一个匿名volume, 挂载到/home/docker/volume下,在其中写入大量小文件,进而占用该文件系统的inode。
查看官方的Dockfile文档里有这么一句话:

The host directory is declared at container run-time: The host directory (the mountpoint) is, by its nature, host-dependent. This is to preserve image portability, since a given host directory can’t be guaranteed to be available on all hosts. For this reason, you can’t mount a host directory from within the Dockerfile. The VOLUME instruction does not support specifying a host-dir parameter. You must specify the mountpoint when you create or run the container.

也就是说我们在启动该镜像的时候必须覆盖该Volume mountpoint,如果不覆盖的话就会在/home/docker/volumes目录下生成一个默认的mountPoint, 对应于kubernetes,也就是我们必须手动指定volume来挂载到该目录上, 可以是emptyDir, PV等whatever只要覆盖就不会写到该默认的路径下面了。
如果不进行覆盖该mount point, 使用默认配置,则该匿名volume的生命周期对应于pod的生命周期,pod删除就会自动删除该volume,/home/docker/volumes下对应的数据也会删除。如果想在pod退出后还保存这部分数据的就应该小心了。
言归正传,对于这种inode耗尽的问题要想从本质上解决问题还是得限制每个pod/容器可以占用的inode数目, 但是目前大多数的container storage driver不支持inode隔离的, 还是得使用诸如deviceMapper这类基于块设备的存储插件比较合适, 还有就是单独给一些特殊的pod/容器,IO比较特殊的任务单独挂载一块磁盘(当然此处磁盘也可以是虚拟化出来的), 避免相互影响。
