Describe the bug

If parent PVC of snapshot/ restore/clone pvc is deleted, then https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/35eb347eaccfc8875b1c4e2073f557c008f5e656/internal/rbd/rbd_util.go#L700 will not work as intended. Therefore, the clone depth returned is not correct since this function requires all parent images in chain to be present in cluster(deleted parent images will be trash).

One side affect is the issue described here https://github.com/rook/rook/issues/12312. Creating a chain of clone/snapshot+restore and deleting parent snapshot and PVC renders the final child PVC to be unmountable.

Environment details

Image/version of Ceph CSI driver : All supported cephcsi versions.
Helm chart version : -
Kernel version : -
Mounter used for mounting PVC (for cephFS its fuse or kernel. for rbd its krbd or rbd-nbd) : krbd
Kubernetes cluster version : all
Ceph cluster version : all

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a chain of clones/ snapshot+restores
Delete parent snapshot/clone immediately after child pvc/snapshot creation
Try to mount child PVC to a pod.

Actual results

rbd map fails with the below error:

Expected behavior

No error.

Workaround

Flatten the child PVC image manually.

Possible Solution

From CephCSI point of view, we have no other to determine clone depth. We need a API change possibly in rbd image info providing us with clone depth from ceph.

Steps to reproduce:

Create [Restore]PVC
Create Snapshot
Delete parent PVC and restore PVC
Delete snapshot
Repeat step 2 (untill there is 17 images in trash rbd trash ls <pool_name>| wc -l)
Mount child PVC to a pod

@idryomov Can you please provide your inputs on this issue?

The kernel client is failing to map an image because it has more than 16 images in the parent chain, most or all of which are in the trash:

For further inputs, please translate the steps to reproduce to rbd commands. While doing that, you would likely see how/where the parent images build-up occurs.

@idryomov Can you please provide your inputs on this issue?

Yup, the images being in trash is expected

For further inputs, please translate the steps to reproduce to rbd commands. While doing that, you would likely see how/where the parent images build-up occurs.

Equivalent rbd commands can be found here https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/devel/docs/design/proposals/rbd-snap-clone.md. The build is happening because CephCSI cannot determine the clone chain depth appropriately and therefore is not [adding task to/] flattening the image.

In short,

CephCSI moves deleted images to trash and adds a task to remove it.
CephCSI determines clone chain depth by traversing the image chain https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/35eb347eaccfc8875b1c4e2073f557c008f5e656/internal/rbd/rbd_util.go#L700
- This method fails if a parent PVC/Snapshot is deleted and image is in trash
- Each kubernetes PVC and snapshot are meant to be independent of parent or child pvc/snapshots. Therefore, we cannot impose any restriction here.
- We need a way to determine the chain depth in another way, maybe a field in rbd image info ?

I see. The way getCloneDepth() just returns current depth when it encounters an empty image name looks wrong, as is bailing on ErrImageNotFound error.

When getting parent details via rbd_get_parent() API, the returned rbd_linked_image_spec_t struct has trash and image_id fields. If trash true, it means the parent image is in the trash. In that case, the image ID from image_id can be used to open the parent image with rbd_open_by_id() API, thus moving on to the next iteration.

Thanks !,

Currently go-ceph is not reading and exporting those details, https://github.com/ceph/go-ceph/blob/ce4031e218edce2afdc79a714b7123a74b1e3c78/rbd/snapshot_nautilus.go#L106-L109

We'll need to add it there before using it at cephcsi
