Jenkins execution slave crashes when two jobs attempt to checkout the same file from SVN

      Hi,

      I am seeing a reproducible issue where my Jenkins execution slave will crash if two jobs try to checkout the same file from SVN at the same time (to their own, individual workspaces).

      My setup:
      I have an environment with a Jenkins Master and single Jenkins Slave. The Master has 0 executors and the Slave has 50 executors. We use SVN for our SCM and have ~100 jobs.

      Our 100 jobs are divided into products where each product has about 10 jobs that are nearly identical, but go to a different build folder within the checkout to build a different configuration of the product. This means that the same repository (and all of its externals) is checked out 10 times on a commit to build 10 different configures of very similar code.

      Recently we have been busy and see a lot of commits, each one launching 10 nearly identical jobs, which is exactly what we want. The issue is that (as far as I can tell) two of the jobs attempt to checkout the same file at the same time, and then the slave crashes with a message like this:

      Case1:
      I set up a test environment where I have a master and slave, the slave with 10 executors. I create a test job that just checks out a large repository and then exits. Then I rapidly launch the same job 10 times. The idea is that each job will get its own workspace, checkout the repository and exit, but most of the time (but not always) the slave process is killed with a SIGABRT and then the master restarts the slave. I could see that at least two jobs were trying to checkout the same file at the same time.

      Case2:
      I set up another test environment where I have a master and 10 slaves, each slave with 1 executor. I create a test job that just checks out a large repository and then exits. Then I rapidly launch the same job 10 times. The idea is that each job will get its own executor, own workspace, checkout the repository and exit. This works 100% of the times that I tried it and I saw no failures.

      Case3:
      I set up another test environment where I have a master and 10 slaves, each slave with 10 executors. I create a test job that just checks out a large repository and then exits. Then I rapidly launch the same job 100 times. The idea is that each executor will get 10 jobs, each job will get its own workspace, checkout the repository and exit. This was a good test case because only 5/10 of the slaves failed and restarted the slave.jar, the rest were ok. Of the slaves that failed, I could see that at least two jobs were trying to checkout the same file at the same time.

          Am also facing the same issue in our environment. But we are having the issue in "Case2".

          We have 15 slaves each having 1 executor. 1 Job, which can run concurrent builds. Many times we are facing this issue, when the multiple builds are started at the same time.

          Jenkins ver. 1.609

          Any quick workaround for this issue?

          What is the last thing that a failing job is doing before the slave dies?

          What version of the SVN plugin are you using?

          GIT Checkout was the last that that the slave was doing.

          Slave side logs would be interesting as well.

          What version of the Subversion plugin is this? Did your tests also point all the builds at the same working copy in some way, or were they completely independent? What workspace version is this?

          Hi Daniel,

          Subversion plugin v1.54 and I am not sure how to tell the workspace version.

          All of the builds would get their own workspace: ie job, job@1, job@2, ..., job@10, etc.

          On the slave side there isn't much info, just that they were killed with SIGABRT.

          For backward compatibility reasons, Jenkins still ships with Subversion plugin 1.x, but it's about two years outdated. Update it.

          Updating the SVN plug from r1.54 to r2.5.7 seems to fix the issue.

          I set up a test environment with a fresh install and could not reproduce (everything at the latest version).
          Then I upgraded my main environment (and had to deal with the credential changes) and it seems ok now too. Ran 20 checkouts simultaneously and no failures.
