Offical artifact passing example fails with PNS executor

[juliusvonkohout]

What steps did you take:

I am using the offical example https://github.com/argoproj/argo/blob/master/examples/artifact-passing.yaml that runs fine out of the box with the argo docker executor.

Then i changed the executor to pns

apiVersion: v1
data:
  config: |
    {
    namespace: kubeflow,
    containerRuntimeExecutor: pns,
    executorImage: gcr.io/ml-pipeline/argoexec:v2.7.5-license-compliance,
    ...

What happened:

Every pipeline that passes outputs (including the offical example) is now failing.
The problem seems to be that the main container exits properly and the wait container cannot chroot into it anymore:

"executor error: could not chroot into main for artifact collection: container may have exited too quickly"

The docker executor works around this by abusing docker.sock to copy the outputs from the terminated main container which is obviously completely infeasible in production.

The funny thing is that you can manually mount an emptydir under /tmp/outputs and add the proper output path (e.g. tmp/outputs/numbers/data) to op.output_artifact_paths.

def add_emptydir(op):
    from kubernetes import client as k8s_client
    op.add_volume(k8s_client.V1Volume(name='outputs', empty_dir=k8s_client.V1EmptyDirVolumeSource()))
    op.container.add_volume_mount(k8s_client.V1VolumeMount(name='outputs', mount_path='tmp/outputs'))
    op.output_artifact_paths={
        'mlpipeline-ui-metadata': 'tmp/outputs/mlpipeline-ui-metadata.json',
        'mlpipeline-metrics': 'tmp/outputs/mlpipeline-metrics.json',
        'extract-as-artifact': 'tmp/outputs/numbers/data',
    }
    return op

Then the output file (tmp/outputs/numbers/data) is successfully extracted via the mirrored mounts functionality, but extracting the same file with chroot fails.

What did you expect to happen:

I expect PNS to extract the output successfully

Environment:

i just tried kubeflow pipelines on a Kubernetes 1.17 (Azure) and 1.18 (minikube) cluster with docker as container engine.

How did you deploy Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP)?

Download and extract https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines/archive/1.0.0.zip
Install with
kubectl apply -k '/home/julius/Schreibtisch/kubeflow/pipelines-1.0.0/manifests/kustomize/cluster-scoped-resources'
kubectl wait --for condition=established --timeout=60s crd/applications.app.k8s.io
kubectl apply -k '/home/julius/Schreibtisch/kubeflow/pipelines-1.0.0/manifests/kustomize/env/dev'

KFP version:
I am using the 1.0.0 release https://github.com/kubeflow/pipelines/releases/tag/1.0.0.

KFP SDK version:
[julius@julius-asus ~]$ pip list | grep kfp
kfp 1.0.0
kfp-server-api 1.0.0

Anything else you would like to add:

I also experimented with op.file_outputs without success.
I also experimented with emptydir and the k8sapi executor without success.
I tried newer argo workflow and exec images (2.8.3 and 2.9.3 in deployment/workflow-controller) without success.

So i am wondering why pns is working for others.

Next to the offical examples I am also using some very simple pipelines

@func_to_container_op
def write_numbers_1(numbers_path: OutputPath(str), start: int = 0, count: int = 10):
    import time, datetime
    time.sleep(30) # should not be necessary with newer versions of argo
    '''Write numbers to file'''
    print('numbers_path:', numbers_path)
    with open(numbers_path, 'w') as writer:
        for i in range(start, count):
            writer.write(str(i) + '\n')
    print('finished', datetime.datetime.now())

which work perfectly fine with the docker executor and fail miserably with pns.

I've been trying pns executor in #4256 for Kind, k3c environments and it seems they work properly for the builtin data passing basic pipeline.

/cc @Ark-kun
do you have any suggestions?

[alfsuse]

@juliusvonkohout could please try to switch the lines
containerRuntimeExecutor: pns,
executorImage: gcr.io/ml-pipeline/argoexec:v2.7.5-license-compliance,
to

executorImage: gcr.io/ml-pipeline/argoexec:v2.7.5-license-compliance,

containerRuntimeExecutor: pns,

and re-try?
Also, did you recreated workflow-controller pod after you updated the executor ?

[juliusvonkohout]

@alfsuse

I changed it with kubectl edit configmap workflow-controller-configmap -n kubeflow to

apiVersion: v1
data:
  config: |
    {
    namespace: kubeflow,
    executorImage: gcr.io/ml-pipeline/argoexec:v2.7.5-license-compliance,
    containerRuntimeExecutor: pns,
    artifactRepository:
...

and deleted the pod with kubectl delete pod workflow-controller-xxx -n kubeflow.
I also checked manually that the pod restarted.

It still fails at chroot.

[juliusvonkohout]

@alfsuse I tried it from scratch with k3s (containerd) and pns and it worked.

Interestingly it fails with minikube which is using docker internally.

[alfsuse]

Humm by chance did you have any psp in the previous deployment? I noticed that psp without SYS_PTRACE throw that error

[Ark-kun]

I am using the offical example https://github.com/argoproj/argo/blob/master/examples/artifact-passing.yaml that runs fine out of the box with the argo docker executor.

Then i changed the executor to pns

It might be useful to also report this to Argo. Although, AFAIK, this is a known issue. See argoproj/argo-workflows#1256 (comment) Maybe with argoproj/argo-workflows#2679 fixed, PNS can work more reliably.

The docker executor works around this by abusing docker.sock to copy the outputs from the terminated main container which is obviously completely infeasible in production.

Can you give more details about the infeasibility?

[juliusvonkohout]

This is my current status

curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube
./minikube version # 1.12.1 kubernetes 1.18.3 Docker 19.03.2 CRI-O 1.17.3
 ./minikube delete && rm -rf ~/.kube ~/.minikube  # make sure there is no old cluster
./minikube start --memory 8192 --cpus 4 --container-runtime=cri-o --driver=docker --extra-config=apiserver.enable-admission-plugins=PodSecurityPolicy --addons=pod-security-policy
# --driver=kvm2 did not work

# Container runtimes:  Docker, rkt, CRI-O and containerd
# between tests: ./minikube delete && rm -rf ~/.kube ~/.minikube 
# ./minikube start --container-runtime=containerd --driver=docker works with pns
# ./minikube start --container-runtime=docker --driver=docker works with docker and pns
# ./minikube start --container-runtime=CRI-O --driver=docker works with pns
# k3s(containerd) works with pns and is very fast

The only cluster not working is on azure. I will have to check back with the maintainer of the azure cluster and report back here.
Btw. the azure cluster is a bit outdated compared to k3s and minikube

  Container Runtime Version:  docker://18.9.1
  Kubelet Version:            v1.17.7

"Humm by chance did you have any psp in the previous deployment? I noticed that psp without SYS_PTRACE throw that error"
You will get an error on pod startup if SYS_Ptrace is not enabled.
This is the PSP that works for minikube and pns

apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
  name: kubeflow
spec:
  allowPrivilegeEscalation: true
  allowedCapabilities:
  - 'SYS_PTRACE'
  fsGroup:
    rule: RunAsAny
  hostIPC: false
  hostNetwork: false
  hostPID: false
  privileged: false
  runAsUser:
    rule: RunAsAny
  seLinux:
    rule: RunAsAny
  supplementalGroups:
    rule: RunAsAny
  volumes:
  - configMap
  - emptyDir
  - projected
  - secret
  - downwardAPI
  - persistentVolumeClaim

Maybe it helps to add CAP_SYS_CHROOT ? Maye then allowPrivilegeEscalation: true becomes unnecessary

"Can you give more details about the infeasibility?" Well hostpath and docker.sock access is a security issue. You cannot expect anyone to manage your cluster with that security hole.

[alfsuse]

@juliusvonkohout one thing for sure is that with that psp you should have issues with Jupiter notebook spawning if I remember correctly you should also have NET_RAW and NET_ADMIN.
So I would say that the fact that there one or more psp deployed could be the root cause along with pns here.

"Maybe it helps to add CAP_SYS_CHROOT"
I would go for a test like try '*' as first approach..if everything works you may work in reverse and start to restrict more and more.

Double check on azure if there are also psp there that could affect you in the same way.

@alfsuse i am using the pipelines only at the moment.

i still get

Can you try mounting an emptyDir: {} volume at the output artifact directory (e.g. /tmp/outputs). I wonder whether this fixes the issue.

[juliusvonkohout]

I already tried this before, but just to be sure i ran it again.
The wait container errors while the main container is still running...

    with open(numbers_path, 'w') as writer:
        for i in range(start, count):
            writer.write(str(i) + '\n')
    print('finished', datetime.datetime.now())

I'm also experiencing this issue. I'm running K3OS which comes with CR-IO runtime. The pns executor was the only one that I got working at all.

[juliusvonkohout]

i got feedback from the azure cluster maintainer and he acknowledged that the cluster is partially broken. I also tested PNS successfully on GCP with PodSecurityPolicies. I will report back here if i get access to the new Azure cluster.

@ggogel i had success with minikube and CRI-O. Maybe try that first.

@juliusvonkohout I somewhat got it working with the k8sapi, but if I submit the workflow it fails and then only after retry it succeeds. I switched to a VolumeClaim and it works fine. Artifact passing on executors other than the docker executor seems to be immature.

i enabled debugging and noticed in the logs, that there is a "docker-" prefix for containerIDs on that specific cluster.
E.g.

"containerID docker-be1b9699927f457b755fd8a2038a3e2003618c6e5fdf23f3bd203eb771d92896 mapped to pid 20"

In
https://github.com/argoproj/argo/blob/79217bc89e892ee82bdd5018b2bba65425924d36/workflow/executor/pns/pns.go#L380 there is trimming code for prefixes, but only for cri-o, not docker.

// for crio we need to get rid of "crio-" prefix and ".scope" suffix
// e.g. crio-7a92a067289f6197148912be1c15f20f0330c7f3c541473d3b9c4043ca137b42.scope

a bit later it fails with

The premissions are also ok, AFAIK

@juliusvonkohout Can you please report this issue to Argo? They're pretty responsive now and have first-hand experience with different executors. Please link the issue here so that we can upvote it.

[juliusvonkohout]

See argoproj/argo-workflows#4186 (comment) so rootles (just PTRACE and CHROOT capabilities) is possible
