Teuthology docker targets hack (3/3) [feedly]

Teuthology docker targets hack (3/3)
// Ceph

The teuthology container hack is improved so each Ceph command is run via docker exec -i which can read from stdin as of docker 1.4 released in December 2014.
It can run the following job

machine_type: container  os_type: ubuntu  os_version: "14.04"  suite_path: /home/loic/software/ceph/ceph-qa-suite  roles:  - - mon.a    - osd.0    - osd.1    - client.0  overrides:    install:      ceph:        branch: master    ceph:      wait-for-scrub: false  tasks:  - install:  - ceph:  

under one minute, when repeated a second time and the bulk of the installation can be reused.

{duration: 50.01510691642761, flavor: basic,    owner: loic@dachary.org, success: true}  


The docker exec -i commands a run with

        self.p = subprocess.Popen(self.args,                                    stdin=self.stdin_r,                                    stdout=stdout, stderr=stderr,                                    close_fds=True,)  

The stdin is set when the command is created, as an os.pipe, so that it can be written to immediately, even before the command is actually run (which may happen at a later time if the thread is already busy finished a previous command). The stdout and stderr are consumed immediately after the command is run and copied over to the arguments provided by the caller:

        while ( self.file_copy(self.p.stdout, self.stdout) or                  self.file_copy(self.p.stderr, self.stderr) ):  

All other file descriptors are closed (with close_fds=True), otherwise the child process will hang until they are all closed.
