Phase 3 (B1 dual-state + B2): a job never lingers as RUN when its worker
is lost.
Dual-state B1 (user-approved): RDHUP (worker TCP dropped = confirmed dead)
marks its RUN jobs EXIT immediately (mark_worker_jobs_exit). Heartbeat
timeout (unknown) keeps them UNKWN+TRANSIENT awaiting reconnect
reconciliation; the TRANSIENT TTL GC is the backstop. handle_worker_leave
now calls mark_worker_jobs_exit (was mark_worker_jobs_unknown in Phase 2).
B2 (worker side): resend_job_status now checks the recovered process is
alive (kill(pid,0)) before re-reporting RUN — a dead process is reported
finished so the controller converges to EXIT instead of a stale RUN. And
resend_job_status runs on EVERY rejoin (checking_connection), not just
startup, so a reconnecting worker's jobs are reconciled (clears UNKWN via
the existing notify_jobstart claim path).
Design: docs/Job-Finish-Robustness-设计文档.md §4.4 (dual-state decision).
Unit test: worker RDHUP marks jobs EXIT (not UNKWN).
Phase 2 of the job-finish robustness design (Part B, B1+B3).
B1 (worker liveness): a worker that stops reporting (heartbeat timeout,
already detected by check_worker_timeout_) or disconnects now has its RUN
jobs marked JOB_STAT_UNKWN|JOB_STAT_TRANSIENT (transient_since set, durable
WAL_JOB_UPDATE) instead of lingering as RUN forever. Marking happens
AFTER the worker lock is released (B5: avoids worker->jobmgr inversion
with the scheduler's jobmgr->worker order).
B3 (restart): persist_recover marks all recovered RUN jobs UNKWN+TRANSIENT
in-memory after replay — a controller restart leaves worker connectivity
unknown. In-memory only (no WAL append) because persist_recover may run
on a future standby that must never append.
Unit tests (red->green): worker-loss marks its RUN jobs unknown, other-host
jobs untouched, restart marks all RUN jobs. test_replay_apply_seam updated:
replay still drives facts to RUN, then B3 adds UNKWN+TRANSIENT.
A worker-reported finish may arrive before the job exists: job
construction is deferred to apply_committed_entry (the submit's WAL
entry), leaving a commit->apply window. on_job_finish dropped such
finishes ('can not find job'), so a fast job that finished in that
window stayed RUN forever (e.g. noexec-test/newcfg-test/verify-fix).
Add an in-memory unknown-finish registry: on_job_finish registers the
finish when the job isn't materialized, and apply_committed_entry's
WAL_JOB_SUBMIT case drains it right after restore_job — appending the
durable WAL_JOB_FINISH and mutating the job to DONE/EXIT immediately so
the scheduler never dispatches a job that already finished.
Design: docs/Job-Finish-Robustness-设计文档.md (Part A of A+B; Part B
worker-liveness + reconnect reconciliation deferred to later phases).
Unit tests (red->green): registry register/take, apply-once-job-
materializes (DONE), exit-code maps to EXIT, drain no-op without
registration.
Adds the shared N-way array expansion primitive: decodes a committed
WAL_JOB_ARRAY_SUBMIT payload, scratch-builds every element via a
throwaway kv-table (never touching c->jobmgr during construction),
then makes the whole set visible in one bulk pass under a single
write-lock acquisition -- no window where a concurrent reader can
observe a partially-constructed array. Idempotent per index (skips
already-existing jobids; whole-record no-op if all exist). Includes
an XCE_TESTING-guarded fault-injection seam. Not yet wired into any
live dispatch path (tasks 3.2/3.3).
Two review rounds: round 1 found the bulk-insert pass silently
claimed success even when key_add() itself could fail on allocation
exhaustion (c->jobmgr grows via realloc, no reservation primitive
exists anywhere in kv.c/kvmgr.c/zarray.c to pre-check this). Fixed
by checking key_add()'s return and reporting failure honestly
instead of a false success. The underlying table has no key_del, so
an already-inserted prefix on this specific failure mode can remain
genuinely visible while the call reports failure -- documented as a
residual gap in design.md and tasks.md for tasks 3.2/4.x to account
for (that prefix is never pushed to scheduler/API server, even on a
later successful retry, since it's never included in out_new_jobs).
Task 3.1 of job-array-single-wal-record.
Root cause (confirmed via targeted DIAG1419 logging on a live chaotic soak):
a client's commit-timeout retry during a genuine quorum-loss window appends
a second WAL_JOB_SUBMIT for the same jobid; the timed-out entry is never
retracted, so if it later achieves majority commit anyway both entries end
up committed. This is a legitimate, harmless duplicate — restore_job()'s own
-EEXIST correctly no-ops the second one — but replay_wal() tallied every raw
WAL_JOB_SUBMIT occurrence instead of genuine creations, so the duplicate
made new_job_submits disagree with jobmgr's real growth, firing a false
APPLY_DIVERGENT and deadlocking promotion.
Reverts the layer-3 claim/release machinery (job_wal_commit_claim/release,
claim_committed_job_submits, and their wiring): three attempts at preventing
the duplicate at submit/dispatch/commit time all failed to close the gap,
because the duplicate isn't a bug to prevent — a WAL entry can't be
retracted once appended, so any submit-time guard is structurally the wrong
layer.
Real fix: apply_committed_entry()'s WAL_JOB_SUBMIT case now returns 1 for a
genuine creation vs 0 for an idempotent no-op (restore_job() -EEXIST), and
replay_wal() only tallies new_job_submits_out on rc==1. Updates the affected
apply-seam/reapply-idempotency tests for the new return contract, and
reverses two apply-correctness tests whose premise (duplicate-jobid replay
must diverge) is now understood to be the actual bug rather than the
expected behavior — they now force divergence directly via the same
production fencing seam instead of relying on that trigger.
Verified: two consecutive 10-round chaotic soaks, zero divergence, zero job
loss, no election stall (previously reproduced within ~5 rounds).
jobid_range_exists() (c->jobmgr) and the in-flight registry (job.c,
per-process, only populated by this node's own handle_jobsubmit calls)
both miss a real cross-node case: a client's XCECLI_FAILOVER_CALL retry
resends the same client-generated jobid after a connection drop, and the
resend lands on a newly elected primary that never processed the original
request. If the original was already committed before the old primary
died, the new primary's own local WAL already holds it (Raft Leader
Completeness) but jobmgr hasn't applied it yet — both existing guards see
nothing, so the resend appends a second, genuinely committed WAL_JOB_SUBMIT
entry for the same jobid. A live chaotic soak reproduced this exactly
(waldump: two committed entries, same term, matching apiserverId/timestamp/
sequence, one second apart) — apply's own idempotent dedup keeps jobmgr
correct, but replay's raw WAL_JOB_SUBMIT count no longer matches jobmgr's
growth, firing a false APPLY_DIVERGENT fence and deadlocking promotion.
Fix: apply_committed_entry()'s WAL_JOB_SUBMIT case now claims the jobid in
job.c's in-flight registry (new job_wal_commit_claim/release, wrapping the
existing inflight_range_try_add/remove) for the duration of dispatch,
regardless of whether this node originated the submission or is applying a
replicated/replayed entry. A resend landing mid-dispatch on any node now
sees the same -EEXIST rejection self-originated in-flight submits already
get. Release only fires when the claim call added the entry, so a
self-originated submission's own claim/release lifecycle (unchanged) is
never double-released or stolen.
Also fixes 4 pre-existing tests that broke under the earlier checkpoint_lsn
fix (0eb1054) and were missed in that commit's regression sweep: cluster-
less fixtures where last_applied_lsn never advances now correctly get
checkpoint_lsn=0 unless the test simulates apply catch-up, matching the
new (correct) semantics. One assertion in
test_checkpoint_tail_with_no_snapshot_is_apply_clean compared Phase 1's
checkpoint_lsn against Phase 2's independently-reconstructed physical WAL
tip — that equality only held under the pre-fix current_lsn-tracking
behavior and is removed, not patched around.
Also hardens run-ha-soak.sh's start_node() with setsid+nohup: a forked/
background test-harness invocation whose session tears down mid-run was
silently killing every controller process via SIGHUP forwarding (observed
twice — deploy completes, ~1s of activity, then all 3 nodes die together
with no error logged).

jobid_range_exists() only checks c->jobmgr, but task 3.1 deliberately
defers job construction until after commit -- so a submission that is
durably WAL-appended and awaiting its commit outcome is invisible to
that check. A client-side retry (XCECLI_FAILOVER_CALL resending the
same jobid after a transport error or failover mid-flight) sails past
the guard and appends a second, non-identical WAL_JOB_SUBMIT entry for
the same jobid -- confirmed via waldump on a live chaotic-soak node
(duplicate submits, same jobid, differing subtime/CRC) -- which can
trip persist_recover()'s post-replay apply-correctness check into a
genuine APPLY_DIVERGENT verdict.
Adds a process-lifetime in-flight-jobid-range registry in job.c that
handle_jobsubmit atomically check-and-claims immediately after the
existing jobid_range_exists check, releasing from
jobsubmit_async_ctx_release (the single choke point already shared by
the commit-continuation, apply-complete, and OOM early-out paths). A
resubmit for a still-in-flight jobid now gets -EEXIST with no second
WAL append.
Adds a matching XCE_TESTING reset seam (declared in cluster.h) so a
test that deliberately leaves a submission's commit continuation
unresolved through teardown doesn't leak its jobid range into a later
test reusing the same range -- commit_engine_fini frees pending
continuations without invoking their callback.
Regression test added to test_commit_barrier_reply.c (RED->GREEN
confirmed). Full 78-group controller_unit_test sweep: 782 tests, 0
failures.
This fixes only the WAL duplicate-submit mechanism (layer 1 of
bug-1419). The deeper PreVote-freshness/apply-divergence liveness
deadlock (layer 2 -- no recovery path when the only fresh-enough node
is apply-divergent-fenced) remains open and needs its own design
discussion; buglog.json updated accordingly.
Build persist_apply_pump_run()/persist_apply_pump_kick() -- the
ordered walk from last_applied_lsn+1 through committed_lsn, applying
every entry via apply_committed_entry() regardless of commit mode.
This is the first live (non-replay) consumer of that dispatch
function. Kick is wired into commit_resolve_pending() (the single
choke point all 6 internal committed_lsn-advancing paths funnel
through, discovered in task 1.2), dispatched via
vtask_enq_classified(VTASK_LIVE_BLOCK) with a CAS-coalesced
fire-and-forget trigger.
Fixes the two hazards flagged since task 4.1 as required before
going live:
1. Double-append: a thread-local call-provenance guard
(t_apply_seam_notifying) prevents persist_job_hook_fun/
persist_queue_hook_fun/persist_worker_hook_fun from re-appending
entries the apply pump itself just applied, while preserving
job_ctrl's legitimate live command-path appends (a naive
detail-based filter would have broken SIGCONT/SIGSTOP). Also
closes an undocumented instance of the same hazard in the
queue/worker hook functions.
2. Merge-staleness: record_job_fail_fact/postdone's fact recording
previously baked a receipt-time-computed final job state into the
WAL entry, which goes stale under deferred apply -- a FINISH
followed shortly by an ordinary post-exec FAIL could silently
clobber a correct DONE completion with a stale RUN|EXIT|PERR, no
guard catching it. Fixed by repurposing wal_jobstate_t's unused
_pad field to carry just enough data (FAIL's stage) to recompute
against the job's actual current state at apply time via the real
apply_job_fail_transition()/new apply_job_postdone_transition()
guard cores, instead of overwriting with a stale absolute value.
Backward compatible: _pad==0 (all prior data) routes to the same
legacy overwrite behavior.
Also fixes bug-1409 (unbounded busy-loop in apply_pump_drain when
committed_lsn advances without a corresponding on-disk entry) and a
genuine test-flakiness hazard (a second, independent apply-pump
kicker from the fsync_worker thread that existing tests didn't
account for).
Two pre-existing tests in test_commit_barrier_reply.c now fail as
expected -- their own assertions state "no job may be constructed
until task 6's apply pump exists," now correctly invalidated by this
task landing; updating them is task 7.3's explicit job.
Split mark_job_start/finish/fail/update in job.c into four hook-free
core functions (apply_job_*_transition) containing only the
monotonic-rank guard and mutation. Wrappers now peek the same guard
to decide hook-firing, then delegate to the core, preserving exact
pre-extraction hook-firing timing. Prerequisite for task 2.2's
apply_committed_entry() dispatch and the ordered apply pump (6.1).
vote_request_thread connects to peers via SSL. iomgr was started before
election but c->ep was only registered with epoll inside cluster_start(),
which runs after election. The TCP connect succeeded (kernel accepts it)
but SSL_accept was never called server-side, so SSL_connect failed
immediately — both vote threads went to deny in <1ms and ctrl-a could
never win a quorum.
Fix: add cluster_register_listener() that wires c->ep into iomgr's
epoll watch. Call it from myapp_run() right after iomgr_start/vtaskmgr_start,
before election. cluster_start() still calls iomgr_monitor again
(idempotent via EPOLL_CTL_MOD).
Add the full call chain for host control operations from the Go API
server through the C library to the controller:
- schema/controller.capnp: HostControl struct + hostctrlmsg @21
in Request.body union
- include/typemap.h: xce_hostctrl_t* hostctrlmsg in body union
(placed after @20 clrpreasonmsg, matching capnp ordinal)
- include/client.h, xceapi.h, request.h: declarations for
xcecli_hostctrl, xce_hostctrl, xce_hostctrl_req
- lib/client.c: xcecli_hostctrl (validate + delegate to xce_hostctrl)
- lib/xceapi.c: xce_hostctrl (validate ctx state + send + wait reply)
- lib/request.c: xce_hostctrl_req (validate hostname/empty/nil,
accept only HOST_OPEN/HOST_CLOSE, reject HOST_TAG/UNTAG)
- lib/helper.c: Request_body_hostctrlmsg cases in
xce_request_body() and xce_request_msg_name()
- controller/cluster.c: OPCode_hostcontrol dispatch
- controller/include/cluster.h: do_hostcontrol_op declaration
- controller/worker.c: do_hostcontrol_op + fix pre-existing
goto-clean bug in worker_ctrl that leaked write lock and
reference on HOST_OPEN/HOST_CLOSE no-op paths
TDD: 8 xce_hostctrl_req validation tests (null ep, null ctrl,
null/empty hostname, HOST_DO_NONE no-op, HOST_TAG/UNTAG reject,
negative action reject, HOST_OPEN/CLOSE accept via xce_request).
116/116 xcelib tests pass. CGO_ENABLED=0 Go backend tests pass.
