[Puppet Users] Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No child processes
Hi,
I don''t know whether this is a ruby, puppet, or facter bug. The whole
issue is one of the "really weird" ones.
I first noticed the problem when working with puppet on a train,
without any internet connection. In such situation, two problems appear:
1) Mildly annoying, frequent 2-second pauses followed by:
Timed out seeking value for ipaddress
I think this is because when I have no network connection, there is
no nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, and despite my hostname being in
/etc/hosts, some resolver library does stupid things (I think it
tries to contact a purely imaginary nameserver running on localhost,
but I haven''t thorougly investigated that). This is a more general
system issue, outside of puppet, as "host `hostname`" also hangs
for
5 seconds before returning:
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
2) More seriously, most - if not all - resoruces fail with error such as:
err: //beczulka/common/common_tweaks/common_bash_rc/File[/root/.bashrc]:
Failed
to retrieve current state of resource: No child processes
Adding --trace on the command line shows for example:

Now, when I do have internet connection, things are working just fine, so there
must be some connection between (1) and (2). However ignoring it for a while, I
tried to strace puppet to see what happens around before the wait() call. This
was a bit hard. Stracing all syscalls takes a huge amount of time and produces
massive output. So in the end, after ignoring some syscalls with "-e
''!nanosleep,gettimeofday,sigprocmask''" I managed to catch
puppet hanging

[...] goes on forever
My comments:
- lines 1-38 is basic pipe setup/fork/close all FDs
- 39-46: "ifconfig wlan0" does its thing
- 47-60: puppet reads ifconfig''s output first, and then reaps it
So far, so good - all is well. But now notice what happens on the following
lines: the command this time is just "ifconfig", and all looks similar
until
line 106. However then:
- line 107: there the timeout in select() is zero,
- line 108: the child is reaped straight away,
- line 111: only now the output is read,
- line 120: puppet makes an attempt to reap the same child again!
The circumstances are slightly different, because in the first case ECHILD is
returned and reported, but in the second case, no error is returned, and puppet
waits forever for a child with PID 10834 to exit, which will never happen.
However I think that the reason for a race might be the same - some generic
SIGCHLD handler that comes in and reaps the child before some other code can
call wait()?

before it hung:

This is puppet 0.24.8-1gg4 (the differences between this and Debian 0.24.8-1
only seem to touch packaging).

I''ve attributed to weird installs of Solaris on old systems, but since we now have it on both Debian & Solaris it seems to be a systemic thing... cheers, /Martin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I think i have found a little bug in facter/ipaddress.rb: if you look at the output of ifconfig on that box, you get: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 12:31:3A:00:55:86 inet adr:10.251.90.116 Bcast:10.251.91.255 Masque: 255.255.254.0 ^ while the regular expression used for Linux boxes in facter/ ipaddress.rb is: if str =~ /inet addr:([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/ ^ i think it should be something along /inet ad+r: .../ That one makes facter fallback on dns resolution to get the IP address, which is not an option in my environment, and doesn''t work when no DNS server is available. Patching my /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/ipaddress.rb makes everything work as expected (and way faster). I don''t have many different distributions to test on but ifconfig issue "inet adr: ..." on the following systems: - Fedora release 10 (Cambridge) - CentOS release 5.3 (Final) - Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS (Hardy Heron) i386 I am also not sure the "fallback to Resolv.getaddress" is very appropriate when one cannot parse the output of ifconfig, or if the network configuration is invalid ...
