[crunch-run] Crash while writing output files

Description

crunch-run process disappears while writing outputs (~1GB in ~1700 files in 1 dir).

Suspect this is caused by a data race: there's a concurrent map write that sometimes causes panics and complaints from the Go race detector in a test case.

Is the new test intended to expose the bug? I’ve locally tried to run it with an older version of fs_collection.go and it doesn’t fail.

From chat:

lucas: you might need to run it a few times before it crashes -- but "test services/crunch-run -race" (from run-tests interactive mode) seems to find it reliably

Running sdk/go/arvados tests with --repeat 50 on a older collection_fs.go file didn't failed for me.
I've also tried locally running the services/crunch-run -race tests using the interactive mode and they still fail with the fix:

Are these race tests being run on our Jenkins test pipelines? If not, can we make Jenkins run them or is there any limitation on how they work?

Jenkins doesn't enable the race detector. I see crunch-run test races here too (although the first few are just races between tested code and the tests themselves, so they might not indicate real bugs).

Both should be addressed. I don't think we should block this bugfix behind either of them. It would be good to verify that the race detector confirms this bugfix for you like it does for me, though.

I should have said:

"test sdk/go/arvados -race" (from run-tests interactive mode) seems to find it reliably

(The new test case in sdk/go/arvados is the one that sets off the race detector without the fix, but not with the fix.)

Updated by Lucas Di Pentima almost 5 years ago

I've tried sdk/go/arvados -race and I'm getting a "signal: killed" message previous to the failed test report. Checking the RAM usage, it goes up to 100% utilization (even when I upped my VM to 9.4 GiB) just before it crashes. I also tried going from 2 to 8 vCPUs and got the same result.

So I'm not able to confirm on my end but if you think it shouldn't block the fix, please go ahead.
