Saikrishna Arcot ac19e2a8ba [docker-wait-any]: Exit worker thread if main thread is expected to exit (#12255)
There's an odd crash that intermittently happens after the teamd container
exits, and a signal is raised to the main thread to exit. This thread (watching
teamd) continues execution because it's in a `while True`. The subsequent wait
call on the teamd container very likely returns immediately, and it calls
`is_warm_restart_enabled` and `is_fast_reboot_enabled`. In either of these
cases, sometimes, there is a crash in the transition from C code to Python code
(after the function gets executed).  Python sees that this thread got a signal
to exit, because the main thread is exiting, and tells pthread to exit the
thread.  However, during the stack unwinding, _something_ is telling the
unwinder to call `std::terminate`.  The reason is unknown.

This then results in a python3 SIGABRT, and systemd then doesn't call the stop
script to actually stop the container (possibly because the main process exited
with a SIGABRT, so it's a hard crash). This means that the container doesn't
actually get stopped or restarted, resulting in an inconsistent state
afterwards.

The workaround appears to be that if we know the main thread needs to exit,
just return here, and don't continue execution. This at least tries to avoid it
from getting into the problematic code path. However, it's still feasible to
get a SIGABRT, depending on thread/process timings (i.e. teamd exits, signals
the main thread to exit, and then syncd exits, and syncd calls one of the two C
functions, potentially hitting the issue).

docker-wait-any
This script takes one or more Docker container names as arguments,
[-s] argument is for the service which invokes this script
[-d] argument is to list the dependent services for the above service.
It will block indefinitely while all of the specified containers
are running.If any of the specified containers stop, the script will
exit.
This script was created because the 'docker wait' command is lacking
this functionality. It will block until ALL specified containers have
stopped running. Here, we spawn multiple threads and wait on one
container per thread. If any of the threads exit, the entire
application will exit, unless we are in a scenario where the following
conditions are met.
(i) the container is a dependent service
(ii) warm restart is enabled at system level or for that container OR
fast reboot is enabled system level
In this scenario, the g_thread_exit_event won't be propogated to the parent,
instead the thread will continue to do docker_client.wait again.This help's
cases where we need the dependent container to be warm-restarted without
affecting other services (eg: warm restart of teamd service)
NOTE: This script is written against docker Python package 4.3.1. Newer
versions of docker may have a different API.
