Bug Description

Brief Description
-----------------
In some labs with certain disk types it has been observed that the root disk is not aligned. This leads to disk performance issues severe enough to cause software failures and timeouts.

Severity
--------
Critical for systems that see the issue (only 1 system observed to date)

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
Install STX load on a controller.
Check the following command:
sudo parted /dev/sda align-check optimal 1

Expected Behavior
------------------
Result of above command should be "aligned"

Actual Behavior
----------------
Result of above command is not aligned
Also disk operations are significantly degraded

Reproducibility
---------------
Seen on one system, 100% reproducible on that system

System Configuration
--------------------
Could occur on any config

Branch/Pull Time/Commit
-----------------------
System is using an STX4.0 load from May 2020.

Last Pass
---------
n/a - only seen on this one system to date with the specific disk in that system

Timestamp/Logs
--------------
n/a

Test Activity
-------------
Initial install and commissioning.

Workaround
----------

Fix enabling heartbeat of self from the peer controller

    This issue only occurs over an hbsAgent process restart
    where the ready event response does not include the
    heartbeat start of the peer controller.

This update reverts a small code change that was
introduced by the following update.

    Remove the my_hostname gate introduced at line 1267 of
    mtcCtrlMsg.cpp because it prevents enabling heartbeat
    of self by the peer controller.

Improved maintenance handling of spontaneous active controller reboot

    Performing a forced reboot of the active controller sometimes
    results in a second reboot of that controller. The cause of the
    second reboot was due to its reported uptime in the first mtcAlive
    message, following the reboot, as greater than 10 minutes.

    Maintenance has a long standing graceful recovery threshold of
    10 minutes. Meaning that if a host looses heartbeat and enters
    Graceful Recovery, if the uptime value extracted from the first
    mtcAlive message following the recovery of that host exceeds 10
    minutes, then maintenance interprets that the host did not reboot.
    If a host goes absent for longer than this threshold then for
    reasons not limited to security, maintenance declares the host
    as 'failed' and force re-enables it through a reboot.

    Performing a forced reboot of the active controller sometimes
    results in a second reboot of that controller. The cause of the
    second reboot was due to its reported uptime in the first mtcAlive
    message, following the reboot, as greater than 10 minutes.
    
    Maintenance has a long standing graceful recovery threshold of
    10 minutes. Meaning that if a host looses heartbeat and enters
    Graceful Recovery, if the uptime value extracted from the first

    If a host goes absent for longer than this threshold then for
    reasons not limited to security, maintenance declares the host
    as 'failed' and force re-enables it through a reboot.
    
    With the introduction of containers and addition of new features
    over the last few releases, boot times on some servers are
    approaching the 10 minute threshold and in this case exceeded
    the threshold.
    
    The primary fix in this update is to increase this long standing
    threshold to 15 minutes to account for evolution of the product.
    
    During the debug of this issue a few other related undesirable
    behaviors related to Graceful Recovery were observed with the
    following additional changes implemented.
    
     - Remove hbsAgent process restart in ha service management
       failover failure recovery handling. This change is in the
       ha git with a loose dependency placed on this update.
       Reason: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/ha/+/788299
    
     - Prevent the hbsAgent from sending heartbeat clear events
       to maintenance in response to a heartbeat stop command.
       Reason: Maintenance receiving these clear events while in
               Graceful Recovery causes it to pop out of graceful
               recovery only to re-enter as a retry and therefore
               needlessly consumes one (of a max of 5) retry count.
    
     - Prevent successful Graceful Recovery until all heartbeat
       monitored networks recover.
       Reason: If heartbeat of one network, say cluster recovers but
               another (management) does not then its possible the
               max Graceful Recovery Retries could be reached quite
               quickly, while one network recovered but the other
               may not have, causing maintenance to fail the host and
               force a full enable with reboot.
    
     - Extend the wait for the hbsClient ready event in the graceful
       recovery handler timout from 1 minute to worker config timeout.
       Reason: To give the worker config time to complete before force
               starting the recovery handler's heartbeat soak.
    
     - Add Graceful Recovery Wait state recovery over process restart.
       Reason: Avoid double reboot of Gracefully Recovering host over
               SM service bounce.
    
     - Add requirement for a valid out-of-band mtce flags value before
       declaring configuration error in the subfunction enable handler.
       Reason: rebooting the active controller can sometimes result in
               a falsely reported configation error due to the
               subfunction enable handler interpreting a zero value as
               a configuration error.
    
     - Add uptime to all Graceful Recovery 'Connectivity Recovered' logs.
       Reason: To assist log analysis and issue debug

Prevent mtcClient from sending to uninitialized socket in AIO SX
    
    The mtcClient will perform a socket reinit if it detects a socket
    failure. The mtcClient also avoids setting up its controller-1
    cluster network socket for the AIO SX system type ; because there
    is no controller-1 provisioned.
    
    Most AIO SX systems have the management/cluster networks set to
    the 'loopback' interface. However, when an AIO SX system is setup
    with its management and cluster networks on physical interfaces,
    with or without vlan, the mtcAlive send message utility will try
    to send to the uninitialized controller-1 cluster socket. This
    leads to a socket error that triggers a socket reinitialization
    loop which causes log flooding.
    
    This update adds a check to the mtcAlive send utility to avoid
    sending mtcAlive to controller-1 for AIO SX system type where
    there is no controller-1 provisioned; no send,no error,no flood.
    
    Since this update needed to add a system type check, this update
    also implemented a system type definition rename from CPE to AIO.
    Other related definitions and comments were also changed to make
    the code base more understandable and maintainable

Add in-service test to clear stale config failure alarm
    
    A configuration failure alarm can get stuck asserted if
    that node experiences an uncontrolled reboot that recovers
    without a configuration failure.
    
    This update adds an in-service test that audits host health
    while there is a configuration failure alarm raised and
    clear that alarm if the failure condition goes away. This
    could be a result of an in-service manifest that runs and
    corrects the configuration or if the node reboots and comes
    back up in a healthy (properly configured) state.
    
    Fixed bug that was clearing config alarm severity state
    when a heartbeat clear event is received.

Fix Graceful Recovery handling while in Graceful Recovery handling
    
    The current Graceful Recovery handler is not properly handling
    back-to-back Multi Node Failure Avoidance (MNFA) events.
    
    There are two phases to MNFA
    
     phase 1: waiting for number of failed nodes to fall below
              mnfa_threahold as each affected node's heartbeat
              is recovered.
     phase 2: then a Graceful Recovery Wait period which is an
              11 second heartbeat soak to verify that a stable
              heartbeat is regained before declaring the NMFA
              event complete.
    
    The Graceful Recovery Wait status of one or more affected nodes
    has been seen to be left uncleared (stuck) on one or more of the
    affected nodes if phase 2 of MNFA is interrupted by another MNFA
    event ; aka MNFA Nesting.
    
    Although this stuck status is not service affecting it does leave
    one or more nodes' host.task field, as observed under host-show,
    with "Graceful Recovery Wait" rather than empty.
    
    This update makes Multi Node Failure Avoidance (MNFA) handling
    changes to ensure that, upon MNFA exit, the recovery handler
    is properly restarted if MNFA Nesting occurs.
    
    Two additional Graceful Recovery phase issues were identified
    and fixed by this update.
    
     1. Cut Graceful recovery handling in half
    
        - Found and removed a redundant 11 second heartbeat soak
          at the very end of the recovery handler.
        - This cuts the graceful recovery handling time down from
          22 to 11 seconds thereby cutting potential for nesting
          in half.
    
     2. Increased supported Graceful Recovery nesting from 3 to 5
    
        - Found that some links bounce more than others so a nesting
          count of 3 can lead to an occasional single node failure.
        - This adds a bit more resiliency to MNFA handling of cases
          that exhibit more link messaging bounce.
    
    Test Plan: Verified 60+ MNFA occurrences across 4 different
               system types including AIO plus, Standard and Storage

Fix reinstall of controller nodes
    
    At shutdown, systemd will try to remount everything read-only
    before attempting to unmount it. In the wipedisk script we
    are deleting the partitions without unmounting
    their corresponding filesystems. This leads to errors because
    systemd will try to remount filesystems
    whose partitions were deleted.
    
    To fix this we have to unmount the filesystems that are linked to the
    removed partitions.

Improve mtcAgent interrupted thread cleanup
    
    A BMC command send will be rejected if its thread
    is not in the IDLE state going into the call.
    
    This issue is seen to occur over a reprovisioning action
    while the bmc access alarmable condition exists.
    
    Maintenance will do retries. So the only visible side affect
    of this issue is a failure to provision to 'redfish' over a
    provisioning switch to 'dynamic' (learn mode). Instead
    ipmi is selected.
    
    The non-return to idle can occur when the bmc handler FSM
    is interrupted by a reprovisioning request while a bmc
    command is in flight.
    
    This update enhances the thread management module by
    introducing a thread consumption utility that is called
    by the bmc command send utility. If the send finds that
    its thread is not in the IDLE state it will either kill
    the thread if it is running or free a completed but-not-
    consumed thread result.
    
    Note: Maintenance only supports the execution of
    a single thread per host per process at one time.

    PASS: Verify BMC provisioning change from ipmi to dynamic
          while the ipmi provisioning was failing prior to
          re-provisioning. Verify the previous error is cleaned

Add alarmed process audit to Process Monitor
    
    A failure to query process monitor alarms from
    FM during process startup can lead to a stuck
    failed process alarm.
    
    Rather than hold up the process monitor startup
    sequence due to an unresponsive fault manager,
    this update introduces an in-service alarm audit
    that looks for asserted alarms and compares that
    readout to the process monitor's runtime view.
    
    A difference in view is considered a state mismatch
    that requires corrective action. The runtime state
    of the process monitor always takes precidence over
    what is found in the FM database.
    
    A mismatch is declared and corrective action is
    taken if:
    
     - FM has a process failure alarm that pmond does not
       Corrective Action: Clear alarm in FM database
    
     - FM has a process failure alarm with a severity
       that differs from the pmond runtime state.
       Corrective Action: Update severity in FM database
    
     - FM has a process failure alarm for a process
       that pmond does not recognize.
       Corrective Action: Clear alarm in FM database
    
    This update only runs the audit on process startup
    until first successful query.
    A future update may enable the audit in-service.
    
    Test Plan:
    
    PASS: Verify all mismatch case handling
    PASS: Verify handling of valid active alarm
    PASS: Verify handling severity mismatch ; unsupported
    PASS: Verify pmond failure handling regression soak

    PASS: Verify handling of persistently failed process over pmond restart
    PASS: Verify audit handling while FM is not running
          - audit retries every 50 seconds until fm query is successful
    
    COND: Verify audit handling while FM is stopped/blocked/stalled
          - alarm query blocks till fm runs again or is killed
          - this is the reason the audit is not run in-service.

Mtce heartbeat cluster state change notification improvement
    
    The current heartbeat cluster state change notification
    needs to be sent when heartbeat pulses begin to be missed
    rather than only after the host has reached the Heartbeat
    Loss threshold. This buys SM more time, almost a full
    second, and in doing so provides more accurate data for
    it to make its SM heartbeat failure handling decisions.
    
    This update also begins sending maintenance heartbeat
    cluster state change notifications just before the next
    multicast pulse request but after the cluster vault is
    updated from the last pulse period. This ensures that
    SM gets the most up-to-date cluster information.
    
    This update also changes the hbsAgent's service file
    to depend on the local hbsClient. By doing so, the
    hbsAgent shuts down earlier over a graceful reboot
    thereby preventing the hbsAgent from continuing to
    report healthy response to the inactive controller
    during active controller shutdown.
    
    This way the inactive SM sees the failed active
    controller when it queries the cluster in its
    fail-pending state resulting in an inactive SM
    take-over rather than stand-down.
    
    Additional hbsAgent service file changes were made to
    prevent systemd from auto recovering a failed hbsAgent
    process, as its monitored and managed by pmond, and
    fixed the ExecStop command line.

Add controller-0 to Mtce Heartbeat Service in AIO SX
    
    All system types with the exception of AIO SX
    adds controller-0 to the heartbeat service.
    
    There is no enabled heartbeating in AIO SX so
    controller-0 was never added. However, without
    being added the alarms the hbsAgent raises are
    not cleared over a process startup.
    
    The local hbsClient was designed to monitor
    pmon, effectively monitor the process monitor,
    and report to the hbsAgent its onging health
    state. This way if pmond stops functioning
    maintenance is able to alarm that condition.
    
    However, because in AIO SX controller-0 is never
    added to the heartbeat service the current method
    of looping over the internal heartbeat service
    inventory clearing all the hbsAgent owned alarms
    for each host over a process restart is bypassed.
    
    So, the failure mode where pmond is failing and
    the hbsAgent has raised an alarm against it and is
    followed by a restart of the hbsAgent that coincides
    with 'pmond' process recovery, the pmond alarm gets
    stuck asserted.
    
    This update adds controller-0 to the heartbeat
    service inventory list for all system types so
    the hbsAgent managed alarms are cleared over a
    process restart regardless of the system type.
    
    Additionally, the following logging improvements
    were made:
    
     - add the network name to the heartbeat start log.
     - avoid heartbeat stop log when already stopped.
    
    Test Plan:

Align partitions created by kickstarters
    
    Partitions on some disks may be created unaligned.
    
    The cause is that the creation of partitions is done between
    specific intervals expressed in MBs. The kernel exposed a
    specific variable for each disk for providing an offset to
    align each partitions (/sys/block/<disk>/alignment_offset).
    
    For better granular control, we transform MB units into
    logical sector units and use the alignment_offset variable
    to properly align the partitions.
