Is this possible?

The intermediate state that causes the bug is:

  1. The expansion is already started and finished in the engine process level, which means v.Spec.Size == engine.Spec.VolumeSize.
  2. Longhorn has not updated engine/volume CR status. In other words, v.Spec.Size != engine.Status.CurrentSize and v.Status.ExpansionRequired == true. (I am not sure if engine.Status.IsExpanding can be false here)

To be honest, it is hard to capture this state then reject the requests in API layer.

Yes, you are right.

It is caused by it as I mentioned in longhorn/longhorn#9466 (comment).

Do you think the error message (hint how to resolve the issue) is reasonable?

The error message itself is reasonable. But my question is, how can v.Status.ExpansionRequired become false (or can the new condition be satisfied) before VolumeManager.CancelExpansion execution complete?
The only place of adding the hint is probably here. And currently, Longhorn has no way to figure out if there is an cancellation before this error is trigger, the error hint can be only like:

the expected size %v of engine %v should not be smaller than the current size %v. It can be caused by a cancellation request after the expansion is complete, please re-do the expansion to resolve this error.

This is a general problem for canceling any async operations relying on the resource status which is regularly updated but not in real time.

Is it possible to get the runtime info from the engine directly when calling the cancellation to decide whether the volume is in expansion or not?

It is not an atomic operation hence there can be a race anyway. For now, I think adding warnings/notifications is enough.

Walkthrough

The pull request modifies the CancelExpansion method in the VolumeManager class within manager/volume.go. The changes focus on improving error handling during volume expansion cancellation. The method now includes an additional check to verify if the current volume size matches the engine's current size when expansion is not required. If they are equal, it raises a more informative error message, preventing unnecessary size reversion and providing clearer guidance to users.

    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.

571-581: LGTM! Consider adding debug logs for troubleshooting.

The error handling logic effectively addresses the race condition where volume expansion completes at the engine level but the status hasn't been updated. The error message provides clear guidance to users on how to resolve the stuck cancellation.

Consider adding debug logs to help with troubleshooting:

 if !v.Status.ExpansionRequired {
+    logrus.Debugf("Volume %v expansion cancellation check: spec.Size=%v, engine.Spec.VolumeSize=%v, engine.Status.CurrentSize=%v",
+        v.Name, v.Spec.Size, engine.Spec.VolumeSize, engine.Status.CurrentSize)
     if v.Spec.Size == engine.Spec.VolumeSize && v.Spec.Size != engine.Status.CurrentSize {
         return nil, fmt.Errorf("volume has already been expanded to %v and cannot revert to size %v. Please manually expand it to %v to resolve the stuck cancellation",
             engine.Status.CurrentSize, v.Spec.Size, engine.Status.CurrentSize)
     }
     return nil, fmt.Errorf("volume expansion is not started")
 }
