--------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Repeated vcld processes are forked for 'deleted' processes which fail to

> Key: VCL-793
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-793
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Affects Versions: 2.3.2
> Reporter: Andy Kurth
> Assignee: Andy Kurth
> Fix For: 2.4
>
>
> When vcld tries to process a request in the deleted state and the
> initialization of all the corresponding objects fails, the request state may
> be left as 'deleted' after the process exits. This causes vcld to fork a
> process over and over again.
> This will occur if there is a problem which causes the provisioning object to
> fail to initialize. As a result, State.pm::reservation_failed is called.
> This has a condition at the beginning which calls is_request_deleted. This
> returns true. The code then proceeds to only set the computer state to
> available and leaves the request state intact.
> This is a problem because the failure occurred before the request state was
> even updated to pending. vcld keeps trying to fork processes, all of which
> fail.
> A solution would be to catch this and set the computer state to failed and
> the request state to complete.
