This commit updates the way that checkoutlock is defined so it is not passed through bin/vmpooler. Without this change there's an unnecessary layer the mutex passes through.
This commit adds a shared mutex to vmpooler API so that checkout requests can be synchronized across threads. Without this change it is possible in some scenarios for vmpooler to allocate the same SUT to different API requests for a VM.
The host['boottime'] variable in the function _check_ready_vm no longer
has its parent object in reference due to the refactoring in pull
request #269. So in order to get the same information without the
performance impact from duplicate object lookups, we get similar
information from the time that the VM is ready.
This commit updates the create_linked_clone pool option to correctly detect when linked clones have been set at a pool level. Without this change a pool setting create_linked_clone to false is not interpreted correctly, and a linked clone is created if possible.
This change adds the running host for a VM to the API data available via /vm/hostname. Without this change the running host would be logged to vmpooler log, but not available any other way. Additionally, the data will specify if a machine has been migrated. Without this change parent host data for a vmpooler machine is not available via the vmpooler API.
This commit adds a new configuration parameter to allow setting whether to create linked clones on a global, or per pool basis. Without this change vmpooler would always attempt to create linked clones. The default behavior of creating linked clones is preserved.
This allows the user to change the cluster in which the targeted pool
will clone to. Upon configuration change, the thread will wake up and
execute the change within 1 second.
This commit updates the reference to domain from vmpooler config. Without this change the domain value is read as an empty string and breaks checkouts.
This commit duplicates the vm_ready? check to the API layer to allow for API to validate that a VM is alive at checkout. Without this change API relies upon the checks in pool_manager validating pools. This change should allow for additional insight into whether a machine is in a ready state and resopnding at checkout time.
Before this change looping over many pools would query the redis backend
for each pool, leading in slow response from the backend for configurations
with many pools (60+)
Changed the requests to use redis pipelines https://redis.io/topics/pipelining
This is supported since the beginning, so will not force any redis update for
users. The pipeline method runs the queries in batches and we need to loop
over the result and reduces the number of requests to redis by N=number of
pools in the configuration.
Before this change we used the API /status endpoint to get specific information
on pools such as the number of ready VMs and the max.
This commit creates two new endpoints to get to that information much quicker
1) poolstat?pool= takes a comma separated list of pools to return, and will provide
the max, ready and alias values.
2) /totalrunning will calculate the total number of running VMs across all pools
This commit updates how migrating and pending queues are processed. Sets to be processed are created with sadd in redis, and iterated over as a list in ruby. The latest member is added to the beginning of this set in redis, and becomes the first member of the set in ruby. To ensure that items are processed in the order they are added it is necessary to reverse the list before iterating through its members. Without this change the newest members of the set are processed first, which creates inconsistent times to evaluation.
This commit adds bundler to dockerfile_local in order to support building vmpooler. Without this change the dockerfile_local build fails reporting bundler is not available.
This commit updates how a VM is checked out to ensure that there is no window where the VM could be considered discovered, and therefore destroyed. Without this change the VM is retrieved by calling 'spop' on the ready queue, and then adding it to the running queue. This change moves to selecting the VM by retrieving the last member of the set, and moving it with 'smove' from ready to running. As a result of this change vmpooler moves from retrieving the VMs from the ready state randomly, to instead retrieve the oldest VM in the queue. This change should reduce churn where it would otherwise not be required to satisfy demand.
