Dirk JulichandClaude Opus 4.6 918ba2ef36 AAP-95887 Use SKIP LOCKED to prevent lock convoy on parent JT update (#16719)
* AAP-95887 Use SKIP LOCKED to prevent lock convoy on parent JT update

When allow_simultaneous is enabled and many jobs complete concurrently,
_update_parent_instance() serializes all sessions on the same JT row
lock. In an example customer incident, single-row UPDATEs averaged
11-25 minutes with 635+ sessions queued.

Use select_for_update(skip_locked=True) for the on_commit callback
path so concurrent updaters that cannot acquire the row lock return
immediately instead of queuing. This is safe because all fields on the
JT (current_job, status, last_job, last_job_failed) are "latest wins"
— at least one session always acquires the lock and writes the current
state.

Non-allow_simultaneous jobs are unchanged (synchronous, no skip).

* Skip lock contention test on SQLite

select_for_update(skip_locked=True) is silently a no-op on SQLite.
Mark the lock contention test to skip when running against SQLite
(the default test database). The test runs when tests are executed
against PostgreSQL.

* Use mock for lock contention test instead of threading

The test suite uses SQLite where select_for_update is a no-op.
Follow codebase convention (e.g. sqlite_copy fixture) of mocking
PostgreSQL-specific behavior: mock select_for_update to return an
empty queryset, simulating a locked row. Removes the separate
test class and threading/psycopg dependencies.

AWX

Caution

The last release of this repository was released on Jul 2, 2024. Releases of this project are now paused during a large scale refactoring. For more information, follow the Forum and - more specifically - see the various communications on the matter:

AWX provides a web-based user interface, REST API, and task engine built on top of Ansible. It is one of the upstream projects for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

To install AWX, please view the Install guide.

To learn more about using AWX, view the AWX docs site.

The AWX Project Frequently Asked Questions can be found here.

The AWX logos and branding assets are covered by our trademark guidelines.

Contributing

  • Refer to the Contributing guide to get started developing, testing, and building AWX.
  • All code submissions are made through pull requests against the devel branch.
  • All contributors must use git commit --signoff for any commit to be merged and agree that usage of --signoff constitutes agreement with the terms of DCO 1.1
  • Take care to make sure no merge commits are in the submission, and use git rebase vs. git merge for this reason.
  • If submitting a large code change, it's a good idea to join discuss via the Ansible Forum. This helps everyone know what's going on, and it also helps save time and effort if the community decides some changes are needed.

Reporting Issues

If you're experiencing a problem that you feel is a bug in AWX or have ideas for improving AWX, we encourage you to open an issue and share your feedback. But before opening a new issue, we ask that you please take a look at our Issues guide.

Code of Conduct

We require all of our community members and contributors to adhere to the Ansible code of conduct. If you have questions or need assistance, please reach out to our community team at codeofconduct@ansible.com

Get Involved

We welcome your feedback and ideas via the Ansible Forum.

For a full list of all the ways to talk with the Ansible Community, see the AWX Communication guide.
