Subject: [PATCH ha-manager v2 06/14] manager: auto rebalance: add optional cooldown for moved resources
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 14:45:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018124559.24305-7-Michael@RyomHerold.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018124559.24305-1-Michael@RyomHerold.dk>
When a single resource dominates the cluster load, the relative
improvement of moving it between two nodes is 2d / (v + d), where v is
the load of the resource and d is the difference of the node base loads.
Small fluctuations of d around zero are enough to make a motion and,
right afterwards, its reverse qualify, so the resource is moved back and
forth (see bug #8059).
Add the ha-auto-rebalance-cooldown option, which keeps resources that
were successfully moved by the load balancer from being considered for
another rebalance motion for the given time. The cooldown applies to all
resources of a moved resource bundle, as they were all moved, and a
bundle is skipped if any of its resources is still on cooldown.
The cooldown defaults to 0, i.e. it is disabled and the behavior of
existing setups does not change.
Like the other auto rebalance state, the cooldown is not persisted
across a CRM failover.
The expected log of test-crs-dynamic-auto-rebalance7 changes, as vm:101
is not migrated back right after it was migrated, but only after the
configured cooldown of 600 seconds has expired.
