Summary

I'm having an issue where, over time, I end up with many "stuck" pods where the main container has errored or exited and the sidecar is running. This may have to do with having two buckets mounted or with trying to write a lot of files to the out bucket.

Details

I'm running this version of the csi-driver:

Running Google Cloud Storage FUSE CSI driver sidecar mounter version v0.1.14-gke.2

To reproduce the issue, I have mounted two buckets, an "in" and an "out" bucket.

The container runs a simple python script that writes to the out bucket then errors e.g.:

def main():
  for i in range(0,100):
    with open(f"/out/{i}.txt", "w", encoding="utf8") as f:
      f.write(f"{i}")
  raise Exception("oops")

if __name__ == "__main__":
  main()

If I run this container enough times, I end up with an increasing number of "hanging" pods which never terminate.

Here is some of the log output from the sidecar container:

We see sigterm sent to both input and output buckets, but only the input bucket actually gets terminated.

Expected

The sidecar always terminates when the main container exits.

Actual

The sidecar sometimes stays running because the second mount process never exits.

Hunches

Perhaps there is some implicit assumption of one bucket and when two are mounted, there's some hard coded shared state that makes the termination flaky?

Perhaps while GCS fuse is "busy" writing it can't receive the sigterm?

GoogleCloudPlatform / gcs-fuse-csi-driver

Two mounted buckets and sigterm during write causes sidecar to hang #257
