------------------------------------------------------
Commit 1787093 from [email protected] in branch 'vcl/trunk'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1787093 ]
VCL-1023
Added subroutines to utils.pm:
* delete_vcld_semaphore
* get_vcld_semaphore_info
* insert_vcld_semaphore
Updated utils.pm::database_execute to return an array with the result and a
possible error message. This is used by insert_vcld_semaphore to determine if a
duplicate row was attempted to be inserted.

> Key: VCL-1023
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1023
> Project: VCL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: vcld (backend)
> Affects Versions: 2.4.2
> Reporter: Andy Kurth
> Assignee: Andy Kurth
> Fix For: 2.5
>
>
> Conditions:
> * Cluster request
> * Multiple reservations are assigned the same image revision
> * Reservations are assigned to VMs on different VMware ESXi hosts
> * VMware ESXi hosts share a common virtual disk image datastore
> * Image does not yet exist on the datastore and needs to be copied from the
> repository
> Each vcld process checks if the image needs to be copied from the repository
> to the datastore. Since the same image revision was assigned to multiple
> reservations in the cluster request, multiple vcld processes determine the
> image needs to be copied.
> The code does obtain a semaphore before attempting to copy the image.
> However, the semaphore name is based on both the VM host name and image name:
> {noformat}

> The first 5 processes each obtained a semaphore within 30 seconds of each
> other. Afterwards, each attempted to copy the .vmdk to the same shared
> directory.
> The last 2 processes obeyed the semaphore and waited several minutes because
> the VM host name was the same as that of another reservation. Once the
> process assigned to the same VM host finished attempting to copy the .vmdk
> and released the semaphore, the last 2 processes checked if the copy was
> still necessary. This is how it is supposed to work for all processes
> copying to the same destination.
> The code should be updated to use a better name for the semaphore. The
> datastore UUID should be used along with the image revision name.
