Kubernetes:kubelet 源码分析之 pod 创建流程
0. 前言
kubelet 是运行在 Kubernetes 节点上的“节点代理”，用来管理节点。
kubelet 主要负责所在节点上的资源对象的管理，例如 Pod 资源对象的创建，删除，监控，驱逐及生命周期管理等。
1. kubelet 源码分析
1.1 kubelet 模块
kubelet 包括的模块如下图：
从图中可以看出，kubelet 的模块众多，每个模块负责不同的功能。本文将围绕创建 Pod 流程有取舍的介绍 kubelet 各个模块。
在开始流程介绍前，让我们通过 kubelet 工作原理图将各个模块串联起来，这对于我们的源码分析是相当有帮助的。
1.2 kubelet 启动及调试
下载 Kubernetes 源码，配置调试参数：
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Kubelet",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "auto",
"program": "${fileDirname}",
"args": [
"--container-runtime-endpoint=/run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock",
"-v=5",
"--port=10251",
"--kubeconfig=/root/.kube/config",
]
}
]
}
打断点进入 kubelet:
kubelet 使用 Cobra 作为应用命令行框架，和 kube-scheduler，kube-apiserver 初始化过程类似，其流程如下：
这里，简要给出初始化示例代码：
// kubernetes/cmd/kubelet/app/server.go
func NewKubeletCommand() *cobra.Command {
// 解析 flags
cleanFlagSet := pflag.NewFlagSet(componentKubelet, pflag.ContinueOnError)
cleanFlagSet.SetNormalizeFunc(cliflag.WordSepNormalizeFunc)
kubeletFlags := options.NewKubeletFlags()
// 获取 kubelet 配置
kubeletConfig, err := options.NewKubeletConfiguration()
cmd := &cobra.Command{
...
RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {
...
// 构建 kubeletServer
kubeletServer := &options.KubeletServer{
KubeletFlags: *kubeletFlags,
KubeletConfiguration: *kubeletConfig,
}
// 构建 kubeletDeps，kubeletDeps 是运行 kubelet 需要的依赖项
kubeletDeps, err := UnsecuredDependencies(kubeletServer, utilfeature.DefaultFeatureGate)
...
return Run(ctx, kubeletServer, kubeletDeps, utilfeature.DefaultFeatureGate)
}
}
}
进入 Run 函数运行 kubelet：
// kubernetes/cmd/kubelet/app/server.go
func Run(ctx context.Context, s *options.KubeletServer, kubeDeps *kubelet.Dependencies, featureGate featuregate.FeatureGate) error {
...
if err := run(ctx, s, kubeDeps, featureGate); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to run Kubelet: %w", err)
}
return nil
}
func run(ctx context.Context, s *options.KubeletServer, kubeDeps *kubelet.Dependencies, featureGate featuregate.FeatureGate) (err error) {
...
if err := RunKubelet(s, kubeDeps, s.RunOnce); err != nil {
return err
}
...
}
run 函数的内容比较多，我们直接忽略，有重点的看 RunKubelet：
// kubernetes/cmd/kubelet/app/server.go
func RunKubelet(kubeServer *options.KubeletServer, kubeDeps *kubelet.Dependencies, runOnce bool) error {
...
k, err := createAndInitKubelet(kubeServer,
kubeDeps,
hostname,
hostnameOverridden,
nodeName,
nodeIPs)
if err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to create kubelet: %w", err)
}
...
if runOnce {
...
} else {
startKubelet(k, podCfg, &kubeServer.KubeletConfiguration, kubeDeps, kubeServer.EnableServer)
klog.InfoS("Started kubelet")
}
return nil
}
这里 createAndInitKubelet 创建 kubelet 对象，该对象在 startKubelet 中运行：
// kubernetes/cmd/kubelet/app/server.go
func startKubelet(k kubelet.Bootstrap, podCfg *config.PodConfig, kubeCfg *kubeletconfiginternal.KubeletConfiguration, kubeDeps *kubelet.Dependencies, enableServer bool) {
// start the kubelet
go k.Run(podCfg.Updates())
// start the kubelet server
if enableServer {
go k.ListenAndServe(kubeCfg, kubeDeps.TLSOptions, kubeDeps.Auth, kubeDeps.TracerProvider)
}
if kubeCfg.ReadOnlyPort > 0 {
go k.ListenAndServeReadOnly(netutils.ParseIPSloppy(kubeCfg.Address), uint(kubeCfg.ReadOnlyPort))
}
go k.ListenAndServePodResources()
}
startKubelet 调用 kubelet.Run 方法运行 kubelet。我们直接进入 kubelet.Run 方法看其中做了什么。
// kubernetes/pkg/kubelet/kubelet.go
func (kl *Kubelet) Run(updates <-chan kubetypes.PodUpdate) {
...
// 初始化模块是初始化不依赖于 container runtime 的模块
if err := kl.initializeModules(); err != nil {
kl.recorder.Eventf(kl.nodeRef, v1.EventTypeWarning, events.KubeletSetupFailed, err.Error())
klog.ErrorS(err, "Failed to initialize internal modules")
os.Exit(1)
}
...
kl.syncLoop(ctx, updates, kl)
}
Kubelet.Run 中包括了不少操作，这里还是抓重点看 Kubelet.syncLoop 主逻辑做了什么。
// kubernetes/pkg/kubelet/kubelet.go
func (kl *Kubelet) syncLoop(ctx context.Context, updates <-chan kubetypes.PodUpdate, handler SyncHandler) {
klog.InfoS("Starting kubelet main sync loop")
// syncTicker 每秒检测一次是否有需要同步的 pod workers
syncTicker := time.NewTicker(time.Second)
defer syncTicker.Stop()
// 每两秒检测一次是否有需要清理的 pod
housekeepingTicker := time.NewTicker(housekeepingPeriod)
defer housekeepingTicker.Stop()
...
for {
...
kl.syncLoopMonitor.Store(kl.clock.Now())
if !kl.syncLoopIteration(ctx, updates, handler, syncTicker.C, housekeepingTicker.C, plegCh) {
break
}
kl.syncLoopMonitor.Store(kl.clock.Now())
}
}
func (kl *Kubelet) syncLoopIteration(ctx context.Context, configCh <-chan kubetypes.PodUpdate, handler SyncHandler,
syncCh <-chan time.Time, housekeepingCh <-chan time.Time, plegCh <-chan *pleg.PodLifecycleEvent) bool {
select {
case u, open := <-configCh:
...
switch u.Op {
case kubetypes.ADD:
klog.V(2).InfoS("SyncLoop ADD", "source", u.Source, "pods", klog.KObjSlice(u.Pods))
// After restarting, kubelet will get all existing pods through
// ADD as if they are new pods. These pods will then go through the
// admission process and *may* be rejected. This can be resolved
// once we have checkpointing.
handler.HandlePodAdditions(u.Pods)
...
}
}
}
Kubelet.syncLoopIteration 包括多个操作管道的行为，这里仅以 configCh 管道为例，看创建 pod 的行为。
在 handler.HandlePodAdditions(u.Pods) 这里打断点，然后创建 pod：
# helm install test .
NAME: test
LAST DEPLOYED: Sun May 19 15:34:54 2024
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
I0519 15:34:54.577769 1801325 kubelet.go:2410] "SyncLoop ADD" source="api" pods=["default/test-6d47479b6b-pphb2"]
进入 handler.HandlePodAdditions
func (kl *Kubelet) HandlePodAdditions(pods []*v1.Pod) {
...
for _, pod := range pods {
// 获取 podManager 模块中记录的 pods
existingPods := kl.podManager.GetPods()
// 更新 podManager 中的 pod
kl.podManager.AddPod(pod)
// 根据 pod 的属性判断当前 pod 是不是 mirrorPod
// mirrorPod 是仅受 kubelet 管理的，对 kubernetes 不可见的 pod
pod, mirrorPod, wasMirror := kl.podManager.GetPodAndMirrorPod(pod)
if wasMirror {
...
}
// 判断 pod 是否处于 termination 状态
if !kl.podWorkers.IsPodTerminationRequested(pod.UID) {
activePods := kl.filterOutInactivePods(existingPods)
if utilfeature.DefaultFeatureGate.Enabled(features.InPlacePodVerticalScaling) {
...
} else {
// 判断 pod 是否可以运行在当前 node
if ok, reason, message := kl.canAdmitPod(activePods, pod); !ok {
kl.rejectPod(pod, reason, message)
continue
}
}
}
kl.podWorkers.UpdatePod(UpdatePodOptions{
Pod: pod,
MirrorPod: mirrorPod,
UpdateType: kubetypes.SyncPodCreate,
StartTime: start,
})
}
}
这里，podManager 模块负责存储和访问 pod 的信息，维持 static pod 和 mirror pods 的关系，podManager 会被 statusManager/volumeManager/runtimeManager 调用，podManger 记录所有被管理的 pod。
继续往下看 podWorkers.UpdatePod：
# kubernetes/pkg/kubelet/pod_workers.go
func (p *podWorkers) UpdatePod(options UpdatePodOptions) {
...
status, ok := p.podSyncStatuses[uid]
if !ok {
klog.V(4).InfoS("Pod is being synced for the first time", "pod", klog.KRef(ns, name), "podUID", uid, "updateType", options.UpdateType)
firstTime = true
status = &podSyncStatus{
syncedAt: now,
fullname: kubecontainer.BuildPodFullName(name, ns),
}
...
p.podSyncStatuses[uid] = status
}
...
// 创建一个 pod worker 协程，如果该协程不存在的话
podUpdates, exists := p.podUpdates[uid]
if !exists {
podUpdates = make(chan struct{}, 1)
p.podUpdates[uid] = podUpdates
...
go func() {
defer runtime.HandleCrash()
defer klog.V(3).InfoS("Pod worker has stopped", "podUID", uid)
p.podWorkerLoop(uid, outCh)
}()
}
}
func (p *podWorkers) podWorkerLoop(podUID types.UID, podUpdates <-chan struct{}) {
var lastSyncTime time.Time
for range podUpdates {
// startPodSync 判断 pod 是否可以被同步
ctx, update, canStart, canEverStart, ok := p.startPodSync(podUID)
...
err := func() error {
var status *kubecontainer.PodStatus
var err error
switch {
case update.Options.RunningPod != nil:
default:
status, err = p.podCache.GetNewerThan(update.Options.Pod.UID, lastSyncTime)
...
}
}
switch {
case update.WorkType == TerminatedPod:
...
default:
isTerminal, err = p.podSyncer.SyncPod(ctx, update.Options.UpdateType, update.Options.Pod, update.Options.MirrorPod, status)
}
lastSyncTime = p.clock.Now()
return err
}()
...
}
}
这里，要注意的是 podWorkers.podCache.GetNewerThan 获取的是最新的 pod 状态。其中，PLEG 获取 container runtime 的 pod 状态，存入 podCache 中。podCache 中的 pod 状态和 kubelet 从 kube-apiserver 获取的 pod 状态做对比，以获取最新的 pod 状态。
接着，进入 podWorkers.podSyncer.SyncPod 同步 pod：
func (kl *Kubelet) SyncPod(ctx context.Context, updateType kubetypes.SyncPodType, pod, mirrorPod *v1.Pod, podStatus *kubecontainer.PodStatus) (isTerminal bool, err error) {
...
klog.V(4).InfoS("SyncPod enter", "pod", klog.KObj(pod), "podUID", pod.UID)
...
// 生成 apiPodStatus 以同步至 statusManager
apiPodStatus := kl.generateAPIPodStatus(pod, podStatus, false)
...
// 获取 statusManager 中存储的 pod 状态
existingStatus, ok := kl.statusManager.GetPodStatus(pod.UID)
...
// 调用 statusManager 同步 pod 状态
kl.statusManager.SetPodStatus(pod, apiPodStatus)
...
// ensure the kubelet knows about referenced secrets or configmaps used by the pod
if !kl.podWorkers.IsPodTerminationRequested(pod.UID) {
if kl.secretManager != nil {
kl.secretManager.RegisterPod(pod)
}
if kl.configMapManager != nil {
kl.configMapManager.RegisterPod(pod)
}
}
// 创建 pod container manager
pcm := kl.containerManager.NewPodContainerManager()
...
// Make data directories for the pod
if err := kl.makePodDataDirs(pod); err != nil {
...
}
// Wait for volumes to attach/mount
if err := kl.volumeManager.WaitForAttachAndMount(ctx, pod); err != nil {
...
}
// Fetch the pull secrets for the pod
pullSecrets := kl.getPullSecretsForPod(pod)
// Ensure the pod is being probed
kl.probeManager.AddPod(pod)
...
result := kl.containerRuntime.SyncPod(sctx, pod, podStatus, pullSecrets, kl.backOff)
...
}
Kubelet.SyncPod 首先更新 statusManager 中 pod 的状态信息，接着开始创建 pod 所需要的资源，如 data directories，volumes，secrets。在调用 container runtime 同步 pod 前，将 pod 添加到 probeManger 模块，以检测 pod 状态。这里关于 probeManger 模块的详细内容可参考。
进入 Kubelet.containerRuntime.SyncPod 查看 container runtime 是怎么同步 pod 的。
// kubernetes/pkg/kubelet/kuberuntime/kuberuntime_manager.go
func (m *kubeGenericRuntimeManager) SyncPod(ctx context.Context, pod *v1.Pod, podStatus *kubecontainer.PodStatus, pullSecrets []v1.Secret, backOff *flowcontrol.Backoff) (result kubecontainer.PodSyncResult) {
// Step 1: Compute sandbox and container changes.
podContainerChanges := m.computePodActions(ctx, pod, podStatus)
...
// Step 2: Kill the pod if the sandbox has changed.
if podContainerChanges.KillPod {
...
} else {
// Step 3: kill any running containers in this pod which are not to keep.
for containerID, containerInfo := range podContainerChanges.ContainersToKill {
...
}
}
...
// Step 4: Create a sandbox for the pod if necessary.
podSandboxID := podContainerChanges.SandboxID
if podContainerChanges.CreateSandbox {
...
createSandboxResult := kubecontainer.NewSyncResult(kubecontainer.CreatePodSandbox, format.Pod(pod))
result.AddSyncResult(createSandboxResult)
...
podSandboxID, msg, err = m.createPodSandbox(ctx, pod, podContainerChanges.Attempt)
if err != nil {
...
}
// 调用 runtime cri 接口查询创建的 pod sandbox 状态
resp, err := m.runtimeService.PodSandboxStatus(ctx, podSandboxID, false)
...
}
configPodSandboxResult := kubecontainer.NewSyncResult(kubecontainer.ConfigPodSandbox, podSandboxID)
result.AddSyncResult(configPodSandboxResult)
start := func(ctx context.Context, typeName, metricLabel string, spec *startSpec) error {
...
klog.V(4).InfoS("Creating container in pod", "containerType", typeName, "container", spec.container, "pod", klog.KObj(pod))
...
if msg, err := m.startContainer(ctx, podSandboxID, podSandboxConfig, spec, pod, podStatus, pullSecrets, podIP, podIPs); err != nil {
...
}
...
}
// Step 5: start ephemeral containers
for _, idx := range podContainerChanges.EphemeralContainersToStart {
start(ctx, "ephemeral container", metrics.EphemeralContainer, ephemeralContainerStartSpec(&pod.Spec.EphemeralContainers[idx]))
}
if !utilfeature.DefaultFeatureGate.Enabled(features.SidecarContainers) {
...
} else {
// Step 6: start init containers.
for _, idx := range podContainerChanges.InitContainersToStart {
container := &pod.Spec.InitContainers[idx]
// Start the next init container.
if err := start(ctx, "init container", metrics.InitContainer, containerStartSpec(container)); err != nil {
...
}
// Successfully started the container; clear the entry in the failure
klog.V(4).InfoS("Completed init container for pod", "containerName", container.Name, "pod", klog.KObj(pod))
}
}
// Step 7: For containers in podContainerChanges.ContainersToUpdate[CPU,Memory] list, invoke UpdateContainerResources
if isInPlacePodVerticalScalingAllowed(pod) {
if len(podContainerChanges.ContainersToUpdate) > 0 || podContainerChanges.UpdatePodResources {
m.doPodResizeAction(pod, podStatus, podContainerChanges, result)
}
}
// Step 8: start containers in podContainerChanges.ContainersToStart.
for _, idx := range podContainerChanges.ContainersToStart {
start(ctx, "container", metrics.Container, containerStartSpec(&pod.Spec.Containers[idx]))
}
return
在 Kubelet.containerRuntime.SyncPod 中通过调用 runtime cri 接口创建 pod sandbox 和 container。以创建 pod sandbox 为例，在 kubeGenericRuntimeManager.createPodSandbox 中调用 kubeGenericRuntimeManager.instrumentedRuntimeService.RunPodSandbox 创建 pod sandbox：
func (m *kubeGenericRuntimeManager) createPodSandbox(ctx context.Context, pod *v1.Pod, attempt uint32) (string, string, error) {
podSandboxConfig, err := m.generatePodSandboxConfig(pod, attempt)
if err != nil {
...
}
// 创建 pod 的 log 目录
err = m.osInterface.MkdirAll(podSandboxConfig.LogDirectory, 0755)
...
podSandBoxID, err := m.runtimeService.RunPodSandbox(ctx, podSandboxConfig, runtimeHandler)
if err != nil {
...
}
return podSandBoxID, "", nil
}
func (in instrumentedRuntimeService) RunPodSandbox(ctx context.Context, config *runtimeapi.PodSandboxConfig, runtimeHandler string) (string, error) {
...
out, err := in.service.RunPodSandbox(ctx, config, runtimeHandler)
...
return out, err
}
func (r *remoteRuntimeService) RunPodSandbox(ctx context.Context, config *runtimeapi.PodSandboxConfig, runtimeHandler string) (string, error) {
...
klog.V(10).InfoS("[RemoteRuntimeService] RunPodSandbox", "config", config, "runtimeHandler", runtimeHandler, "timeout", timeout)
...
resp, err := r.runtimeClient.RunPodSandbox(ctx, &runtimeapi.RunPodSandboxRequest{
Config: config,
RuntimeHandler: runtimeHandler,
})
...
}
// kubernetes/vendor/k8s.io/cri-api/pkg/apis/runtime/v1/api.pb.go
func (c *runtimeServiceClient) RunPodSandbox(ctx context.Context, in *RunPodSandboxRequest, opts ...grpc.CallOption) (*RunPodSandboxResponse, error) {
out := new(RunPodSandboxResponse)
err := c.cc.Invoke(ctx, "/runtime.v1.RuntimeService/RunPodSandbox", in, out, opts...)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return out, nil
}
可以看到，这里通过调用 cri 接口的 /runtime.v1.RuntimeService/RunPodSandbox 创建 pod sandbox，至于创建 container 也是类似，调用 runtime cri 的接口实现创建 pod 的 container。
2. 小结
本文从 kubelet 源码层面介绍了 pod 创建的流程，后续将重点看 runtime 是如何工作的。
