记录一次ipv4_forward被修改导致的生产事故

生产集群的节点内核模块被异常修改,导致集群服务与服务之间网络通信异常,产生了较大规模的生产事故。

此次事故涉及到两个主要的内核模块被修改:

  1. net.ipv4.ip_forward: 用于启用 IP 转发,当此模块加载时,Linux 内核会允许将数据包转发到其他网络

尝试复现

在一个集群中启用两个 Pod,通过这两个 Pod 模拟业务
测试连通性的pod

修改 controller-node-2 节点的 /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf 文件,并加载(sysctl -p)
修改节点内核配置

1
net.ipv4.ip_forward=0

此时再去测试连通性,已经不通了
修改节点内核参数后测试连通性

尽管是在同一个宿主机上的 Pod,也无法进行通信
同一宿主机的pod进行通信

节点之间能够正常通信
节点之间通信

查看 calico 组网状态,显示正常
修改节点内核参数后calico组网状态

通过正常节点的 Pod 去 ping 异常节点的 Pod,正常节点抓包,发现没有回包

尝试重启该节点的 calico-node,内核模块会被 calico-node 修改回来,此时网络恢复,但 /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf 中的 net.ipv4.ip_forward 还是 0,所以在下次重新加载(sysctl -p)的时候,仍然会被设置为关闭状态
重启calico-node后测试连通性
重启calico-node后内核参数

事故总结

此次事故的排障思路是:

  1. 通过两个在不同宿主机的 Pod,测试跨节点的连通性,不通
  2. 测试节点之间的连通性,能够正常通信
  3. 在这两个宿主机进行同一宿主机不同 Pod 的连通性测试,一台通,一台不通 – 确定问题节点
  4. 通过 calicoctl node status 查看组网状态,显示正常 – 暂且排除是 calico 的问题
  5. 通过 tcpdump 进行抓包,获取正常节点 Pod 到异常节点 Pod 的数据包 – icmp 数据包能够到达异常节点,但异常节点的 Pod 没有响应
  6. 通过 tcpdump 进行抓包,获取异常节点 Pod 到正常节点 Pod 的数据包 – 异常节点宿主机层面无法获取 icmp 包,通过 nsenter 进入 Pod 的网络命名空间发现,icmp 有发出但无响应,且 icmp 数据包无法到达正常节点,正常节点抓包观察没有任何包
  7. 尝试重启异常节点 calico-node,网络恢复 – calico-node 启动会修改内核参数,但不会持久化到 /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf
  8. 查看 /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf 发现 net.ipv4.ip_forward 被设置为了 0
  9. 通过 ansible 检查所有节点的 /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf 文件
