[JIRA] (JENKINS-49710) Pipelines run under heavy load sometimes hang running Docker

[abdulla.haw...@saucelabs.com (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Abdulla Hawara edited a comment on JENKINS-49710   Re: Pipelines run under heavy load sometimes hang running Docker My *theory* about the issue: Jenkins has `*Text file busy*` error coming from `*durable*` which is used by `*pipeline nodes and processes*` plugin. This issue is easily reproducible by running any command e.g. `*sh "echo 'Hello'"*` in any jenkins job many times in parallel. This hang is caused when running a docker container using the * docker plugin * , but when we run `*docker*` without manually using ` * sh docker ...* ` it never hangs , but that `*Text file busy*` error still appears because we run a lot of jobs at the same time. The container in this case will stay running forever   {color:#ff0000}To reproduce {color} {code:java} Text file busy{code} error, please follow these steps:   1. Run Jenkins locally `docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 jenkins/jenkins:lts` ver. 2.89.4 2. install just the recommended plugins on it 3. create new pipeline projects called `*hello*` and `*hello2*` 4. put this code in ‘hello’ : {code:java} node{     sh "echo 'hello'" } {code} and this in `*hello2*`: {code:java} node{     sh "echo 'hello'"     sleep(2) } {code} 5. Create a new pipeline project called `*runner*` and put this inside: {code:java} COUNTER = 0 node{     def jobs = [:]          // add 24 instances of the same test to run them later in parallel     24.times {         jobs[('runner' + COUNTER++)] = {triggerProject('hello')()}     }          // add 24 instances of the same test to run them later in parallel     24.times {         jobs[('runner' + COUNTER++)] = {triggerProject('hello2')()}     }          // run them all 20 times in parallel     20.times {         parallel jobs     } } def triggerProject(jobName) {     return {         try{             build job: jobName, parameters: [string(name: 'VALUE', value: String.valueOf(COUNTER++))]         } catch (ex){             println ex         }     } } {code} 6. Go to your jenkins configurations and change the executors to `*50*` 7. try to run the runner once and if you got some sandbox exception, go to the in-procces Script Approval in the Manage Jenkins page and click approve for all commands 8. run runner again and you will see that some of `*hello*` and `*hello2*` has `*text file busy*` error The logs you get afterwards: {code:java} Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY [Pipeline] node Running on Jenkins in /var/jenkins_home/workspace/hello@6 [Pipeline] { [Pipeline] sh [hello@6] Running shell script sh: 1: /var/jenkins_home/workspace/hello@6@tmp/durable-a771d7dd/script.sh: Text file busy [Pipeline] } [Pipeline] // node [Pipeline] End of Pipeline ERROR: script returned exit code 2 Finished: FAILURE {code} Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.3.0#73011-sha1:3c73d0e) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Issues" group.
