File Descriptor Leak in PingSource

[liuyuxuan0723]

Problem Description:

I followed the documentation https://knative.dev/docs/eventing/sources/ping-source/ to deploy and create several PingSources to trigger my functions. After running for a few days, all triggers stopped working. The logs from pingsource-mt-adapter are as follows:

Monitoring Information:

• File Descriptor Monitoring:
  
• CPU Monitoring:
  
• Memory Monitoring:
  

Environment:

• Knative release version: 1.11.2
• k8s version: 1.24.0

Expected Behavior:

The pingsource-mt-adapter should run normally, and there should be no leaks.

I cannot reproduce the problem with "normally" behaving functions.

Trying it with the current Fission 1.20.4 , and eventing 1.11 installed from the Serverless Operator 1.32.2 on OpenShift

Creating a hello-js from the fission examples

fission env create --name nodejs --image ghcr.io/fission/node-env
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fission/examples/main/nodejs/hello.js
fission function create --name hello-js --env nodejs --code hello.js
fission route create --function hello-js --url /hello-js --name hello-js --method GET --method POST

and having several PingSources like

apiVersion: sources.knative.dev/v1
kind: PingSource
metadata:
  name: test-ping-source-1
  namespace: foobar
spec:
  contentType: application/json
  data: '{"message": "Hello world from 1!"}'
  schedule: '*/1 * * * *'
  sink:
    uri: http://router.fission.svc.cluster.local/hello-js
  timezone: Asia/Shanghai

shows only a stable number of open TCP connections.

I can reproduce the problem, kind of, if I add very long timeouts to the function

module.exports = async function(context) {
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 518400000));
    return {
        status: 200,
        body: "hello, world!\n"
    };
}

and adding a fntimeout to the fission function to override the default 60s

fission function create --name hello-js --env nodejs --code hello.js --fntimeout 604800

making the functions to never return does show that the pingsource does not have any timeouts on its own and the number of open TCP connections would be steadily rising if the sink would keep the connections open indefinitely and never return an HTTP response.

Can you see the number of open files rising on the fission side as well? (I'd expect the similar number of open files on the fission router)

@maschmid
I have checked the file descriptors of the Fission router and indeed encountered the same issue. The regular trigger interval being shorter than the function execution time does lead to a continuous increase in the number of open file descriptors.

Fission router monitoring:

Currently, I have deployed about 4 or 5 functions, all with a timeout set to 60 seconds. The trigger interval is set to once per minute. I haven't observed any long-running executions or cases where an HTTP response is not returned. However, quite a few functions returned a 504 due to execution timeouts. Could this situation be causing the file descriptors to continuously increase?

Here is the pingsource YAML:

@maschmid
Can I control the timeout or retry policy for the pingsource? I suspect that the retries might be causing the leak.
