Ensure affinity groups are honored when VMs are deployed in parallel

[vishesh92]

Description

Fixes #7202 #9110

This PR doesn't completely solve the issue. To completely resolving the issue, we will have to sacrifice the speed at which VMs can be deployed in parallel.

@vishesh92 have you tested it ?

@vishesh92 have you tested it ?

I tested with simulator. I was able to reproduce and fix the issue for strict anti affinity.

thanks @vishesh92 I will create a testing env to test it

[weizhouapache]

@vishesh92 I tested host-affinity,

    command="cmk deploy virtualmachine zoneid=5a6557c9-b1e0-4fbf-bca4-7f376a96df65 templateid=344e6034-28ae-11ef-8462-1e00c200016f serviceofferingid=2eb32c51-d604-472b-895e-019f31a2f146 networkids=39323a57-1e12-4f3d-b030-36ef7e850e22"

    affinitygroup=$(cmk create affinitygroup type='host affinity' name=test-`uuidgen`)
    affinitygroupid=$(echo $affinitygroup |jq -r '.affinitygroup.id')

    # create 2 vms in parallel
    for i in `seq 1 2`;do $command affinitygroupids=$affinitygroupid & done

I tried twice. first time it works, second try it did not

Yes. This will reduce the occurrence of failures but not completely resolve the issue.

@vishesh92 I had a look of the process of vm deployment, would it make sense to lock the method below ?

https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/cb9b3134f7fff972b63d8565a4d021f8ea918903/server/src/main/java/com/cloud/deploy/DeploymentPlanningManagerImpl.java#L303-L304

rename it to planDeploymentInternal and create a new planDeployment using Transaction ?

I am also wondering what processes should be locked, maybe until the host is determined ?

maybe we could introduce some mechanism, for example

• when create a vm , lock the network table (for example, to fix #7907 , cc @abh1sar ) and resource_limit table (to fix the resource issue ?)
• when start a vm, lock the affinity_group table and some other tables if needed ?

the problem is, it could lead to high latency if the platform is large.

@vishesh92 can you review and advise further (PR marked waiting-for-author)?

@rohityadavcloud I am running the capc e2e test for affinity group. Let me share the results once the job is complete.

[vishesh92]

@weizhouapache @sureshanaparti I ran e2e test 5 times on an env with this patch. Here are the results: 2 - Successfully passed 2- timed out 1 - failure

[DaanHoogland]

@sureshanaparti , will we try to merge this in 4.19.1?

[vishesh92]

@DaanHoogland This PR is targeted for 4.19.2
