Global configuration

Environment variable Description
CMK_LOCK_TIMEOUT Maximum duration, in seconds, to hold the cmk configuration directory lock file. (Default: 30)
CMK_PROC_FS Path to the procfs to consult for pid information. cmk isolate and cmk reconcile require access to the host's process information in /proc.
CMK_LOG_LEVEL Adjusts logging verbosity. Valid values are: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO and DEBUG. The default log level is INFO.
CMK_DEV_LSCPU_SYSFS Path to the system root to be used by lscpu for enumerating the cpu topology. NOTE: should only be used for development purposes.
CMK_NUM_CORES Sets number of cores to be allocated by cmk isolate. If not set, "1" is being used as default.

Subcommands


cmk init

Initializes the cmk configuration configmap customized for NFV workloads, including three pools: infra, shared and exclusive, with an additional fourth - exclusive-non-isolcpus - if cores are provided. The exclusive pool is EXCLUSIVE while the shared and infra pools are SHARED. The exclusive-non-isolcpus pool is also EXCLUSIVE, but the cores within the pool are not governed by isolcpus.

Processor topology is discovered using lscpu.

For more information about the config format on disk, refer to the cmk configuration directory.

Core assignment policy

CMK isolate constrains user tasks to CPUs in the requested pool. However, this does not prevent other system tasks from running on reserved CPUs. The recommended way to resolve this problem is to use the isolcpus Linux kernel parameter.

CMK init discovers the value of isolcpus by inspecting /proc/cmdline. These isolated CPU IDs are used to construct the exclusive and shared pools. In this way, the process scheduler will avoid co-scheduling other tasks there. If no isolated CPUs are available, CMK will continue to operate but the only guarantee is that pools are assigned in a core granular manner.

The number of fully isolated cores should match the number of requested exclusive plus shared cores. A core is fully isolated if all the logical cpu ids for the core are in the isolcpus list.

Example

An example working setup could be as follows. On a single socket system with 8 cores and 16 cpus, the cpu ids 0, 8 are resident on core 0, cpu ids 1, 9 are resident on core 1 and so on.

The lscpu -p output from this system could be:

# The following is the parsable format, which can be fed to other
# programs. Each different item in every column has an unique ID
# starting from zero.
# CPU,Core,Socket,Node,,L1d,L1i,L2,L3
0,0,0,0,,0,0,0,0
1,1,0,0,,1,1,1,0
2,2,0,0,,2,2,2,0
3,3,0,0,,3,3,3,0
4,4,0,0,,4,4,4,0
5,5,0,0,,5,5,5,0
6,6,0,0,,6,6,6,0
7,7,0,0,,7,7,7,0
8,0,0,0,,0,0,0,0
9,1,0,0,,1,1,1,0
10,2,0,0,,2,2,2,0
11,3,0,0,,3,3,3,0
12,4,0,0,,4,4,4,0
13,5,0,0,,5,5,5,0
14,6,0,0,,6,6,6,0
15,7,0,0,,7,7,7,0

We assign 4 cores to the exclusive pool, 1 core to the shared pool and the rest to the infra pool. Therefore, 5 physical cores must be isolated. These are the default values for cmk init.

On a Ubuntu 16.04 server, /etc/default/grub contains:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="net.ifnames=0 isolcpus=0,1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11,12"

The isolcpus list contains the cpu ids for the first 5 cores on the system. To verify the topology on other systems and get the cpu ids, use lscpu or hwloc-ls. After changing the file above, run the following:

update-grub

and reboot the system.

After this, running cmk init --num-exclusive-cores=4 --num-shared-cores=1 will allocate the first 4 cores (cpu id 0, 8, 1, 9, 2, 10, 3 and 11) for the exclusive pool, the next core (cpu id 4, 12) for the shared pool and the rest (cpu id 5,13,6,14,7,15) to the infra pool

Caveats

CPUs may be stranded, i.e. not be utilized, if they are not isolated in a core granular manner. For example, consider a system with 4 cpus with id 0, 1, 2, 3 where 0 and 2 are resident on core 0 and 1 and 3 are resident on core 1. Then having isolcpus=0,1 will result in two stranded cpus where data and control containers may or may not land. In this case, CMK will emit warnings such as WARNING:root:Physical core 1 is partially isolated.

Similarily, even fully isolated cores in excess of the number of exclusive plus shared cores will be stranded i.e. CMK will not assign any left over isolated cores to the infra pool. In this case, CMK will emit warnings such as WARNING:root:Not all isolated cores will be used by data and shared pools..

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --num-exclusive-cores=<num> Number of (physical) processor cores to include in the exclusive pool.
  • --num-shared-cores=<num> Number of (physical) processor cores to include in the shared pool.
  • --excl-non-isolcpus=<list> List of (physical) processor cores to include in the exclusive-non-isolcpus pool, which is isolated from other user pods in the cluster but does not use cores governed by isolcpus.
  • --socket-id=<num> ID of socket where allocated core should come from. If it's set to -1 then child command will be assigned to any socket.
  • --shared-mode=<mode> Shared pool core allocation mode. Possible modes: packed and spread.
  • --exclusive-mode=<mode> Exclusive pool core allocation mode. Possible modes: packed and spread.

Example:

$ docker run -it \

$ docker run -it \
  cmk init --num-exclusive-cores=4 --num-shared-cores=1 \
           --excl-non-isolcpus=10-15

cmk discover

Advertises the appropriate number of CMK Opaque Integer Resource (OIR) slots, node label and node taint to the Kubernetes node. The number of OIR slots advertised is equal to the number of cpu lists under the exclusive pool, or under the exclusive-non-isolcpus, as determined by examining the CMK configuration configmap. For more information about the config format on disk, refer to the cmk configuration directory.

Notes:

  • cmk discover is expected to be run as a Kubernetes Pod as it uses incluster config provided by the Kubernetes python client to get the required Kubernetes cluster configuration. The instructions provided in the operator's manual can be used to run the discover Pod.
  • The node will be patched with pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/opaque-int-resource-cmk OIR.
  • The node will be labeled with "cmk.intel.com/cmk-node": "true" label.
  • The node will be tainted with cmk=true:NoSchedule taint.
  • The CMK configuration directory should exist and contain the exclusive pool to run cmk discover.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --no-taint Don't taint Kubernetes nodes.

Example:

$ docker run -it \
  cmk discover

cmk reconcile

Reconcile removes invalid process IDs from the cmk configuration configmap by checking them against procfs. This is to recover from the case where cmk isolate exits before it has a chance to remove its own PID from the tasks file. This could happen for a number of reasons, including receiving the KILL signal while its subprocess is executing.

--interval=<seconds> will turn the reconciliation command into a long lived process which runs reconciliation every <seconds>. If run with --interval=0, reconcile is run once and exits.

--publish will send the reconciliation report to the Kubernetes API server. This enables the operator to get reconciliation reports for all kubelets in one place through kubectl. This option should only be used when the CMK container is run as a Kubernetes Pod.

For instance:

For Kubernetes 1.6 and older versions which using third part resources:

$ kubectl get ReconcileReport
NAME            KIND
cmk-02-zzwt7w   ReconcileReport.v1.cmk.intel.com
$ kubectl get ReconcileReport cmk-02-zzwt7w -o json

  },
  "report": {
    "mismatchedCpuMasks": [],
    "reclaimedCpuLists": []
  }
}

For Kubernetes 1.7 and newer versions which using custom resources definitions:

$ kubectl get cmk-reconcilereport
NAME            KIND
cmk-02-zzwt7w   Cmk-reconcilereport.v1.intel.com
$ kubectl get cmk-reconcilereport cmk-02-zzwt7w -o json

    },
    "spec": {
        "report": {
            "reclaimedCpuLists": []
        }
    }
}

NOTE: This subcommand requires the CMK_PROC_FS environment variable to be set.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --publish Whether to publish reports to the Kubernetes API server
  • --interval=<seconds> Number of seconds to wait between rerunning. If set to 0, will only run once.

Example:

$ docker run -it \
  --volume=/proc:/host/proc:ro \
  -e "CMK_PROC_FS=/host/proc" \
  cmk reconcile --interval=60

cmk isolate

Constrains a command to the CPUs corresponding to an available CPU list in a supplied pool.

If the requested pool is exclusive, the command may fail if there are no unallocated CPU lists in the pool or there are not enough free CPU lists in that pool. An unallocated CPU list is one where the tasks file is empty; see the cmk configuration format for details.)

If the requested pool is non-exclusive, any CPU lists in that pool may be chosen, regardless of current allocations.

cmk isolate consumes environmental variable CMK_NUM_CORES, reads its value and based on it, allocates a number of available CPU lists, regardless of its exclusiveness. For exclusive pools first CMK_NUM_CORES CPU lists are allocated. For non-exclusive pools CMK_NUM_CORES CPU lists are chosen randomly. CMK_NUM_CORES should be a positive integer, otherwise the command will fail. If CMK_NUM_CORES variable is not set, a single CPU list will be allocated by default.

cmk isolate writes its own PID into the selected tasks file before executing the command in a sub-shell. When the subprocess exits, the program removes the PID from the tasks file before exiting. If the cmk isolate process exits abnormally (or receives the KILL signal) then the tasks file may not be cleaned up. The cmk reconcile subcommand is designed to resolve this problem, and must be run frequently on any host where cmk isolate is used.

cmk isolate sets the CMK_CPUS_ASSIGNED variable in the child process' environment. The value is the assigned CPU list from the requested pool, formatted as a Linux CPU list string.

Core affinity is achieved by first setting the CPU mask of the cmk process before executing the command. This step can be turned off by supplying the --no-affinity flag.

NOTE: This subcommand requires the CMK_PROC_FS environment variable to be set.

Args:

  • <command> Command to isolate.
  • <args> ... Command arguments.

Flags:

  • --socket-id=<num> ID of socket where allocated core should come from. If it's set to -1 then child command will be assigned to any socket.
  • --pool=<pool> Pool name: either infra, shared, exclusive or exlcusive-non-isolcpus.
  • --no-affinity Do not set cpu affinity before forking the child command. In this mode the user program is responsible for reading the CMK_CPUS_ASSIGNED environment variable and moving a subset of its own processes and/or tasks to the assigned CPUs.

Example:

$ docker run -it \
  --volume=/opt/bin/cmk:/host/opt/bin/cmk \
  --volume=/proc:/host/proc:ro \
  -e "CMK_PROC_FS=/host/proc" \
  -e "CMK_NUM_CORES=1" \
  centos /host/opt/bin/cmk isolate --pool=infra sleep -- inf

cmk install

Builds a zero-dependency cmk executable in the installation directory.

Use install to place cmk on the host filesystem. Subsequent containers can isolate themselves by mounting the install directory from the host and then calling cmk isolate.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --install-dir=<dir> CMK install directory.

Example:

NOTE: On CoreOS, /usr is readonly so here we use /opt/bin instead, which is both writable and on the path.

$ docker run -it \
  --volume=/opt/bin:/opt/bin:rw \
  cmk install --install-dir=/opt/bin

cmk node-report

Outputs a JSON report on node-level CMK configuration.

--publish will send the node report to the Kubernetes API server. This enables the operator to get node reports for all kubelets in one place through kubectl. This option should only be used when the CMK container is run as a Kubernetes Pod.

--interval=<seconds> will turn the node-report command into a long lived process which runs node-report every <seconds>. If run with --interval=0, node-report is run once and exits.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --publish Whether to publish reports to the Kubernetes API server.
  • --interval=<seconds> Number of seconds to wait between rerunning. If set to 0, will only run once.

Example:

Generate a node report:

$ docker run -it \
  --volume=/proc:/host/proc:ro \
  -e "CMK_PROC_FS=/host/proc" \
  cmk node-report --interval=60

Get node reports from the API server using Kubectl:

For Kubernetes 1.6 and older versions which using third part resources:

$ kubectl get NodeReport
NAME            KIND
cmk-02-zzwt7w   NodeReport.v1.cmk.intel.com

cmk cluster-init

Initializes a Kubernetes cluster for the CMK software. It runs CMK subcommands, passed as comma-seperated values to --cmk-cmd-list, as Kubernetes Pods. By default, it runs all the subcommands and uses all the default options.

Notes:

  • cmk cluster-init is expected to be run as a Kubernetes Pod as it uses incluster config provided by the Kubernetes python client to get the required Kubernetes cluster configuration. The instructions provided in the operator's manual can be used to run the discover Pod.
  • The CMK subcommands, as specified by the value passed for --cmk-cmd-list are expected to be one of init, discover, install, reconcile, nodereport. If init subcommand is specified, it expected to be the first command in --cmk-cmd-list.
  • --cmk-img-pol should be one of Never, IfNotPresent, Always.
  • If Kubernetes version is v1.9.0 or above, Mutating Admission Webhook and its dependencies (mutating admission configuration, secret, config map and service) are also deployed. cmk cluster-init will create an X509 private key and self-signed TLS certificate, which can be replaced. Base64 encoded key and certificate are stored in cmk-webhook-certs secret object. After updating them, cmk-webhook-pod should be restarted to load new Additionally certificate is stored in the cmk-webhook-config MutatingWebhookConfiguration object and in such scenario, it needs to be updated as well.
  • Including the flag excl-non-isolcpus will create an extra pool in which the cores are isolated from other user pods in the cluster but are not governed by isolcpus. Excluding it will configure CMK normally, with only the infra, shared, and exclusive pools.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --host-list=<list> Comma seperated list of Kubernetes nodes to prepare for CMK software. Either this flag or --all-hosts flag must be used.
  • --all-hosts Prepare all Kubernetes nodes for the CMK software. Either this flag or --host-list=<list> flag must be used.
  • --cmk-cmd-list=<list> Comma seperated list of CMK sub-commands to run on each host [default: init,reconcile,install,discover].
  • --cmk-img=<img> CMK Docker image [default: cmk].
  • --cmk-img-pol=<pol> Image pull policy for the CMK Docker image [default: IfNotPresent].
  • --num-exclusive-cores=<num> Number of (physical) processor cores to include in the exclusive pool.
  • --num-shared-cores=<num> Number of (physical) processor cores to include in the shared pool.
  • --pull-secret=<name> Name of secret used for pulling Docker images from restricted Docker registry.
  • --excl-non-isolcpus List of (physical) processor cores to include in the exclusive-non-isolcpus pool, which is isolated from other user pods in the cluster but does not use cores governed by isolcpus.
  • --install-dir=<dir> CMK install directory
  • --saname=<name> ServiceAccount name to pass
  • --shared-mode=<mode> Shared pool core allocation mode. Possible modes: packed and spread
  • --exclusive-mode=<mode> Exclusive pool core allocation mode. Possible modes: packed and spread
  • --namespace=<name> Set the namespace to deploy pods to during the cluster-init deployment process.
  • --cafile=<file> The location of the cafile used by the webhook to a uthenticate the Kubernetes API server.
  • --insecure=<bool> Determines whether the webhook service will be set up to authenticate using mutual TLS or not.
  • --no-taint Don't taint Kubernetes nodes.

Example:

$ docker run -it \
  cmk cluster-init --num-exclusive-cores=4 --num-shared-cores=1
$ docker run -it \
  cmk cluster-init --num-exclusive-cores=4 --num-shared-cores=1 \
                   --excl-non-isolcpus=10-15

cmk uninstall

Removes cmk from a node. Uninstall process reverts cmk cluster-init:

  • deletes cmk-reconcile-nodereport-pod-{node} if present
  • removes NodeReport from Kubernetes ThirdPartyResources if present
  • removes ReconcileReport from Kubernetes ThirdPartyResources if present
  • removes cmk node label if present
  • removes cmk node taint if present
  • removes cmk node OIR if present
  • removes --conf-dir=<dir> if present and no processes are running that use cmk isolate
  • removes cmk binary from --install-dir=<dir>, if binary is not present then throws an error
  • removes cmk-webhook-pod along with other webhook dependencies (mutating admission configuration, secret, config map and service), if CMK was installed on a cluster with mutating admission controller API

Notes: As described above "if present" indicates whether there isn't anything to delete/remove, uninstall process will not fail and proceed to the next step. This allows cmk uninstall command to fully purge inconsistent environment i.e. of some failures in cmk cluster-init

Removing --conf-dir=<dir> requires no processes present on system that use cmk isolate (with entry in configuration directory). Please stop/remove them otherwise cmk uninstall will throw an error in that step and uninstall will fail. For this reason cmk uninstall cannot be run through cmk isolate.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --conf-dir=<dir> Path to the CMK configuration directory.
  • --install-dir=<dir> CMK installation directory.

Example:

$ docker run -it \
--volume=/etc/cmk:/etc/cmk:rw \
--volume=/opt/bin:/opt/bin:rw \
  cmk uninstall

cmk webhook

Runs webhook server application which can be called by Mutating Admission Controller in the API server. When the user tries to create a pod which definition contains any container requesting CMK Extended Resources, CMK webhook modifies it by injecting environmental variable CMK_NUM_CORES with its value set to a number of cores specified in the Extended Resource request. This allows cmk isolate to assign multiple CPU cores to given process. Beyond that, the webhook applies additional modifications to the pod which are defined in the mutations configuration file in YAML format. Mutations can be applied per pod or per container. Default configuration deployed during cmk cluster-init adds CMK installation and configuration directories and host /proc filesystem volumes, CMK service account, tolerations required for the pod to be scheduled on the CMK enabled node and approprietly annotates pod. Containers specifications are updated with volume mounts (referencing volumes added to the pod) and environmental variable CMK_PROC_FS.

Server configuration is loaded once during cmk webhook startup. Example server configuration:

server:
  binding-address: "0.0.0.0"
  port: 443
  cert: "/etc/ssl/cert.pem"
  key: "/etc/ssl/key.pem"
  mutations: "/etc/webhook/mutations.yaml"
Key Description
binding-address The IP address on which to advertise the webhook server.
port The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization.
cert SSL certification file used to secure communication with API server.
key The path to the file that contains the current private key matching cert file.
mutations The path to the file containing definition of mutations applied to pod and containers.

Example mutations config file:

mutations:
  perPod:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        cmk.intel.com/resources-injected: "true"
    spec:
      serviceAccount: cmk-serviceaccount
      tolerations:
      - operator: Exists
      volumes:
      - name: cmk-host-proc
        hostPath:
          path: "/proc"
      - name: cmk-install-dir
        hostPath:
          path: "/opt/bin"
  perContainer:
    env:
    - name: CMK_PROC_FS
      value: "/host/proc"
    volumeMounts:
    - name: cmk-host-proc
      mountPath: /host/proc
      readOnly: true
    - name: cmk-install-dir
      mountPath: /opt/bin
Key Description
perPod Pod specification in the same format as regular Kubernetes V1 API Pod object. Note that it contains only elements, which need to be added (or updated) on top of the original pod specification.
perContainer Container specification in the same format as regular Kubernetes V1 API Container object. Note that it contains only elements, which need to be added (or updated) on top of the original container specification.

Mutations configuration is loaded from the file on each mutation request, so it can be modified during webhook server runtime.

Notes:

Mutating admission webhook requires Kubernetes 1.9.0 or newer. Mutating Admission Controller API is in beta in Kubernetes 1.9 and is enabled by default. In order to make Kubernetes API server send admission review requests to the CMK webhook server, MutatingAdmissionConfiguration object needs to be created on the Kubernetes cluster.

Args:

None

Flags:

  • --conf-file=<path> Path to the webhook configuration file.

Example:

$ docker run -it \
--volume=/opt/bin:/opt/bin:rw \
--volume=/etc/webhook:/etc/webhook:rw \
--volume=/etc/ssl:/etc/ssl:rw \
  cmk webhook --conf-file=/etc/webhook/server.yaml
