Node driver could not register on Windows in a little possibility

On Windows, we found that this node-driver-registrar hang on below statement forever in a little possibility, and then after restart registrar manually, it could register correctly, question: is there any way to add timeout and retry in below statement?

node-driver-registrar/cmd/csi-node-driver-registrar/node_register.go

Lines 63 to 64 in d79871c

// Registers kubelet plugin watcher api.
registerapi.RegisterRegistrationServer(grpcServer, registrar)

Following up my comments on #149, after I read how the kubelet plugin registration works, after the gRPC server is started we should get a notification from the kubelet through the callback

node-driver-registrar/cmd/csi-node-driver-registrar/main.go

Line 79 in 5387d2b

func (e registrationServer) GetInfo(ctx context.Context, req *registerapi.InfoRequest) (*registerapi.PluginInfo, error) {

If we don't get the callback then as a workaround we can force a container restart, I tried a similar approach in kubernetes-csi/external-snapshotter#504, the idea is to crash the container if we don't get to a valid state after some seconds to force a restart, we could use race timer, in pseudocode it'd be something like:

// Registered is set to true once the driver receives an ack from the kubelet
var Registered = false

func (e registrationServer) GetInfo(ctx context.Context, req *registerapi.InfoRequest) (*registerapi.PluginInfo, error) {  
	klog.Infof("Received GetInfo call: %+v", req)
    Registered = true
  	return &registerapi.PluginInfo{
		Type:              registerapi.CSIPlugin,
		Name:              e.driverName,
		Endpoint:          e.endpoint,
		SupportedVersions: e.version,
	}, nil
}

// ...

func nodeRegister(csiDriverName, httpEndpoint string) {
	// Registers kubelet plugin watcher api.
	registerapi.RegisterRegistrationServer(grpcServer, registrar)

    go func() {
       time.Sleep(time.Second) // or a timer with exp backoff
       if !Registered {
         os.Exit(1)
       }
    }()

	go healthzServer(socketPath, httpEndpoint)
	go removeRegSocket(csiDriverName)
	// Starts service
	if err := grpcServer.Serve(lis); err != nil {
		klog.Errorf("Registration Server stopped serving: %v", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}
	// If gRPC server is gracefully shutdown, exit
	os.Exit(0)
}

In the external-snapshotter PR I also made changes to the manifests to make sure that a pod is only considered after some time, also this approach worked in the snapshotter because it's a Deployment and it's the only container.

Another idea is to use the http endpoint already exposed and a readiness probe, that endpoint would check the value of Registered to see if the pod is alive, if not then it'd get restarted

These ideas are workarounds though, the fact that sometimes we get a callback and sometimes we don't is something that we should ask in sig-windows

+1 to ask in sig-windows. I will ping sig-windows to take a look in the slack.

I would vote for force restart if registrar does not get response from kubelet.

We just upgraded our e2e tests to run against 1.21 windows for secrets-store-csi-driver and most of the e2e runs are failing with this error. There is no InfoRequest from kubelet only for windows.

sig-windows asked to check the output of sc query afunix, if you see this error again please try to run this command in your nodes.

@msau42 Thank you for merging #152. When is the next node-driver-registrar planned for?

When is the next node-driver-registrar planned for?

Within the next two weeks.

I have tried with --mode=kubelet-registration-probe with v2.3.0, it would fail on both Linux and Windows:
