We have seen a couple of jobs which appear to have got executors stuck while starting the build.

      For example one buildhas console output (build #428)

      Started by upstream project "<folder>/<job1>" build number 181
      originally caused by:
      {{ Started by upstream project "<folder>/<job2>" build number 852}}
      {{ originally caused by:}}
      {{ Started by upstream project "<folder>/<job3>" build number 1569}}
      {{ originally caused by:}}
      {{ Started by user <user>}}
      {{ Replayed #1568}}
      Resume disabled by user, switching to high-performance, low-durability mode.
      [Pipeline] node
      Still waiting to schedule task
      Aborted by <user>
      Click here to forcibly terminate running steps
      Click here to forcibly kill entire build
      Hard kill!
      Finished: ABORTED

       

      And according the build history of that job it has been aborted. However, in the Build Executor Status an executor has been allocated and it believe that it is still running. Trying to abort from Build Executor Status doesn't do anything.

      This happened across 4 jobs which were run in parallel, triggered by another job and were started within 2 seconds of each other.

      I could not see any blocked threads on the node (and we have tried restarting the Jenkins agent service) to no avail.

      There are some blocked threads on the master, see threadDump.txt. It looks like this is some kind of deadlock condition with multiple jobs being triggered in a short space of time. (Can provide a fuller thread dump if useful but would take time to obfuscate).

      Note that it does not look like it was killing the job that caused it, it looks like it was on build startup, before or when it was being allocated a node, and killing the job didn't help.

          [JENKINS-54513] Builds occupying executor but not running

          Russell Gallop added a comment - - edited

          Just seen what seems to be this same issue again. On this occasion it was all one job running parallel on a couple of Linux machines. In this case the job was reporting:

          [TASK1] Still waiting to schedule task
          [TASK2] Still waiting to schedule task
          [TASK3] Still waiting to schedule task
          [TASK4] Still waiting to schedule task 

          There were only 3 executors available for this and according to the Build Executor Status they have all been assigned to "<folder> » <job> #476 (part)".

          In this case there were blocked threads in PrintStream.java:805 but not the ones I saw before in PrintStream.java:355 (threads on master):

          As before there are no processes being run by the Jenkins agent.

          The Timer threads look like:

          This appears to be trying to write something to disk. Can someone tell what and where this would be trying to write?

          Naresh BS added a comment -

          We are running into similar issues with our Jenkins setup on version 2.121.1.

          Has anyone been able to figure out the root cause or how to fix this? Has this been fixed in any version of Jenkins yet.
