WalkthroughThe fencing taint workflow now validates stable Pacemaker membership, handles successful fencing and lost-node alerts, and retries failed taint service executions through updated systemd settings. ChangesFencing taint reliability
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change can incorrectly interpret node membership, potentially tainting a live peer and evicting workloads, while transient failures may leave affected nodes untainted. Merge should wait for these correctness and recovery issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Normalize every Pacemaker node name before comparison.
Line 31 compares the normalized target only with unmodified list entries. If Pacemaker returns FQDNs while crm_node -n or the alert returns a short name, the local-node check can fail and exit successfully. A mixed name format can also mark a live fenced node as absent.
Normalize each parsed list entry to its short name before comparison. FENCED_SHORT does not currently protect these membership checks.

Reject an unsafe final membership observation.
If parse_online_nodes returns an empty result at Line 76, this code bypasses Line 77 and applies the taint after an earlier stable count. The same occurs if the final result no longer lists the local node. A Pacemaker query failure or local membership loss can then evict workloads from a live peer.
Require a non-empty final list that still includes the local node before applying the taint. Treat any other final state as unsafe.

systemd.service StartLimitBurst Restart=on-failure automatic restarts start rate limit official man page
💡 Result:
In systemd, the StartLimitBurst and StartLimitIntervalSec settings define the start rate limiting policy for a unit [1][2]. When a service is configured with Restart=on-failure (or any other restart mode), systemd monitors the number of start attempts within a defined time interval [1][2]. If the number of attempts exceeds the value set in StartLimitBurst within the period defined by StartLimitIntervalSec, systemd stops attempting to restart the service automatically [1][2]. Key details regarding this behavior include: 1. Rate Limiting Logic: Start rate limiting applies to all forms of unit activation, including manual starts, timer-triggered starts, and automatic restarts triggered by the Restart= directive [1][2]. 2. Consequences of Reaching the Limit: Once the start limit is reached, the service enters a failed state and will not be automatically restarted by systemd [1][2]. The restart logic is effectively suspended [1][2]. 3. Recovery: - Manual Reset: You can clear the failed state and reset the rate limit counter using the command systemctl reset-failed [unit-name] [1][2]. - Automatic Recovery: The service may be restarted manually, or via a timer or socket, after the StartLimitIntervalSec interval has elapsed [1][2]. Once the interval passes, the rate limit counter is essentially reset, and the automatic restart logic becomes active again [1][2]. 4. Disabling Limits: To ensure a service attempts to restart indefinitely regardless of failure frequency, you can set StartLimitIntervalSec=0 in the unit file [1][2][3]. Official documentation for these settings can be found in the systemd.unit(5) man page [1][2]. The interaction between Restart= and rate limiting is noted in the systemd.service(5) man page [4][5].

Keep retries available after transient membership failures.
taint-fenced-node.sh can fail after its 60-second membership check or its 595-second API retry loop. Restart=on-failure allows only two further starts before StartLimitBurst=3 blocks retries within 2400 seconds. Increase the start budget or add delayed activation after rate limiting.
