Gauge for FilesystemIsReadOnly not downgraded to 0 after fixing the problem

[sharonosbourne]

The problem occurred when filesystem went to read only mode. That was fixed, but still in the metrics I was able to see the counter and gauge set up to 1. I conducted a test and multiple times injected the FileSystemIsReadOnly to the /dev/kmsg (https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/blob/master/config/kernel-monitor.json):

1 log_monitor.go:160] New status generated: &{Source:kernel-monitor Events:[{Severity:info Timestamp:2020-10-08 06:44:16.09315274 +0000 UTC m=+1331754.148888064 Reason:FilesystemIsReadOnly Message:Node condition ReadonlyFilesystem is now: True, reason: FilesystemIsReadOnly}] Conditions:[{Type:KernelDeadlock Status:False Transition:2020-09-22 20:48:21.98500453 +0000 UTC m=+0.040739839 Reason:KernelHasNoDeadlock Message:kernel has no deadlock} {Type:ReadonlyFilesystem Status:True Transition:2020-10-08 06:44:16.09315274 +0000 UTC m=+1331754.148888064 Reason:FilesystemIsReadOnly Message:Remounting filesystem read-only}]}

Still the metrics were shown as 1 and it did not downgraded to 0. Even the the issue with ro filesystem was fixed, still the metric was 1:

problem_counter{reason="FilesystemIsReadOnly"} 1 problem_gauge{reason="FilesystemIsReadOnly",type="ReadonlyFilesystem"} 1

As a workaround the pod was deleted and after that metrics were reset to 0. What is the reason of that behaviour? The type "permanent"? Is deleting a pod the only solution?

kernel-monitor.json

	{
		"type": "permanent",
		"condition": "ReadonlyFilesystem",
		"reason": "FilesystemIsReadOnly",
		"pattern": "Remounting filesystem read-only"
	}

We are also facing a similar issue but with many occurences as we are extensively using PVC with GCP disks. With a ot of mounting/unmounting operations, the kernel catches many readonly disks events (not on the node root disk) and consequently node-problem-detector set the node as not ready. We may also find a more precise pattern in kernel-monitor.json to only catch root filesystem events.

Are we deploying the NPD as a Linux daemon or a privileged container?

[wangzhen127]

On GKE, it is deployed as linux daemon

@sharonosbourne do you remember if your issue was due to read-only filesystem in non-boot disk?
