几乎所有的Controller manager 和CRD Controller 都会使用Client-go 的Informer 函数，这样通过Watch 或者Get List 可以获取对应的Object，下面我们从源码分析角度来看一下Client go Informer 的机制。
kubeClient, err := kubernetes.NewForConfig(cfg)
if err != nil {
klog.Fatalf("Error building kubernetes clientset: %s", err.Error())
}
kubeInformerFactory := kubeinformers.NewSharedInformerFactory(kubeClient, time.Second*30)
controller := NewController(kubeClient, exampleClient,
kubeInformerFactory.Apps().V1().Deployments(),
exampleInformerFactory.Samplecontroller().V1alpha1().Foos())
// notice that there is no need to run Start methods in a separate goroutine. (i.e. go kubeInformerFactory.Start(stopCh)
// Start method is non-blocking and runs all registered informers in a dedicated goroutine.
kubeInformerFactory.Start(stopCh)这里的例子是以https://github.com/kubernetes/sample-controller/blob/master/main.go节选，主要以 k8s 默认的Deployment Informer 为例子。可以看到直接使用Client-go Informer 还是非常简单的，先不管NewCOntroller函数里面执行了什么，顺着代码来看一下kubeInformerFactory.Start 都干了啥。
// Start initializes all requested informers.
func (f *sharedInformerFactory) Start(stopCh <-chan struct{}) {
f.lock.Lock()
defer f.lock.Unlock()
for informerType, informer := range f.informers {
if !f.startedInformers[informerType] {
go informer.Run(stopCh)
f.startedInformers[informerType] = true
}
}
}可以看到这里遍历了f.informers，而informers 的定义我们来看一眼数据结构
type sharedInformerFactory struct {
client kubernetes.Interface
namespace string
tweakListOptions internalinterfaces.TweakListOptionsFunc
lock sync.Mutex
defaultResync time.Duration
customResync map[reflect.Type]time.Duration
informers map[reflect.Type]cache.SharedIndexInformer
// startedInformers is used for tracking which informers have been started.
// This allows Start() to be called multiple times safely.
startedInformers map[reflect.Type]bool
}我们这里的例子，在运行的时候，f.informers里面含有的内容如下
type *v1.Deployment informer &{0xc000379fa0 <nil> 0xc00038ccb0 {} 0xc000379f80 0xc00033bb00 30000000000 30000000000 0x28e5ec8 false false {0 0} {0 0}}也就是说，每一种k8s 类型都会有自己的Informer函数。下面我们来看一下这个函数是在哪里注册的，这里以Deployment Informer 为例。
首先回到刚开始初始化kubeClient 的代码，
controller := NewController(kubeClient, exampleClient,
kubeInformerFactory.Apps().V1().Deployments(),
exampleInformerFactory.Samplecontroller().V1alpha1().Foos())
deploymentInformer.Informer().AddEventHandler(cache.ResourceEventHandlerFuncs{
AddFunc: controller.handleObject,
UpdateFunc: func(old, new interface{}) {
newDepl := new.(*appsv1.Deployment)
oldDepl := old.(*appsv1.Deployment)
if newDepl.ResourceVersion == oldDepl.ResourceVersion {
// Periodic resync will send update events for all known Deployments.
// Two different versions of the same Deployment will always have different RVs.
return
}
controller.handleObject(new)
},
DeleteFunc: controller.handleObject,
})注意这里的传参， kubeInformerFactory.Apps().V1().Deployments()， 这句话的意思就是指创建一个只关注Deployment 的Informer.
controller := &Controller{
kubeclientset: kubeclientset,
sampleclientset: sampleclientset,
deploymentsLister: deploymentInformer.Lister(),
deploymentsSynced: deploymentInformer.Informer().HasSynced,
foosLister: fooInformer.Lister(),
foosSynced: fooInformer.Informer().HasSynced,
workqueue: workqueue.NewNamedRateLimitingQueue(workqueue.DefaultControllerRateLimiter(), "Foos"),
recorder: recorder,
}deploymentInformer.Lister() 这里就是初始化了一个Deployment Lister，下面来看一下Lister函数里面做了什么。
// NewFilteredDeploymentInformer constructs a new informer for Deployment type.
// Always prefer using an informer factory to get a shared informer instead of getting an independent
// one. This reduces memory footprint and number of connections to the server.
func NewFilteredDeploymentInformer(client kubernetes.Interface, namespace string, resyncPeriod time.Duration, indexers cache.Indexers, tweakListOptions internalinterfaces.TweakListOptionsFunc) cache.SharedIndexInformer {
return cache.NewSharedIndexInformer(
&cache.ListWatch{
ListFunc: func(options metav1.ListOptions) (runtime.Object, error) {
if tweakListOptions != nil {
tweakListOptions(&options)
}
return client.AppsV1().Deployments(namespace).List(options)
},
WatchFunc: func(options metav1.ListOptions) (watch.Interface, error) {
if tweakListOptions != nil {
tweakListOptions(&options)
}
return client.AppsV1().Deployments(namespace).Watch(options)
},
},
&appsv1.Deployment{},
resyncPeriod,
indexers,
)
}
func (f *deploymentInformer) defaultInformer(client kubernetes.Interface, resyncPeriod time.Duration) cache.SharedIndexInformer {
return NewFilteredDeploymentInformer(client, f.namespace, resyncPeriod, cache.Indexers{cache.NamespaceIndex: cache.MetaNamespaceIndexFunc}, f.tweakListOptions)
}
func (f *deploymentInformer) Informer() cache.SharedIndexInformer {
return f.factory.InformerFor(&appsv1.Deployment{}, f.defaultInformer)
}
func (f *deploymentInformer) Lister() v1.DeploymentLister {
return v1.NewDeploymentLister(f.Informer().GetIndexer())
}
注意这里的Lister 函数，它调用了Informer ，然后触发了f.factory.InformerFor ，
这就最终调用了sharedInformerFactory InformerFor函数，
// InternalInformerFor returns the SharedIndexInformer for obj using an internal
// client.
func (f *sharedInformerFactory) InformerFor(obj runtime.Object, newFunc internalinterfaces.NewInformerFunc) cache.SharedIndexInformer {
f.lock.Lock()
defer f.lock.Unlock()
informerType := reflect.TypeOf(obj)
informer, exists := f.informers[informerType]
if exists {
return informer
}
resyncPeriod, exists := f.customResync[informerType]
if !exists {
resyncPeriod = f.defaultResync
}
informer = newFunc(f.client, resyncPeriod)
f.informers[informerType] = informer
return informer
}这里可以看到，informer = newFunc(f.client, resyncPeriod)这句话最终完成了对于informer的创建，并且注册到了Struct object中，完成了前面我们的问题。
下面我们再回到informer start
// Start initializes all requested informers.
func (f *sharedInformerFactory) Start(stopCh <-chan struct{}) {
f.lock.Lock()
defer f.lock.Unlock()
for informerType, informer := range f.informers {
if !f.startedInformers[informerType] {
go informer.Run(stopCh)
f.startedInformers[informerType] = true
}
}
}这里可以看到，它会遍历所有的informer，然后选择异步调用Informer 的RUN方法。我们来全局看一下Run方法
func (s *sharedIndexInformer) Run(stopCh <-chan struct{}) {
defer utilruntime.HandleCrash()
fifo := NewDeltaFIFO(MetaNamespaceKeyFunc, s.indexer)
cfg := &Config{
Queue: fifo,
ListerWatcher: s.listerWatcher,
ObjectType: s.objectType,
FullResyncPeriod: s.resyncCheckPeriod,
RetryOnError: false,
ShouldResync: s.processor.shouldResync,
Process: s.HandleDeltas,
}
func() {
s.startedLock.Lock()
defer s.startedLock.Unlock()
s.controller = New(cfg)
s.controller.(*controller).clock = s.clock
s.started = true
}()
// Separate stop channel because Processor should be stopped strictly after controller
processorStopCh := make(chan struct{})
var wg wait.Group
defer wg.Wait() // Wait for Processor to stop
defer close(processorStopCh) // Tell Processor to stop
wg.StartWithChannel(processorStopCh, s.cacheMutationDetector.Run)
wg.StartWithChannel(processorStopCh, s.processor.run)
defer func() {
s.startedLock.Lock()
defer s.startedLock.Unlock()
s.stopped = true // Don't want any new listeners
}()
s.controller.Run(stopCh)
}首先它根据得到的 key 拆分函数和Store index 创建一个FIFO队列，这个队列是一个先进先出的队列，主要用来保存对象的各种事件。
func NewDeltaFIFO(keyFunc KeyFunc, knownObjects KeyListerGetter) *DeltaFIFO {
f := &DeltaFIFO{
items: map[string]Deltas{},
queue: []string{},
keyFunc: keyFunc,
knownObjects: knownObjects,
}
f.cond.L = &f.lock
return f
}可以看到这个队列创建的比较简单，就是使用 Map 来存放数据，String 数组来存放队列的 Key。
后面根据client 创建的List 和Watch 函数，还有队列创建了一个 config，下面将根据这个config 来初始化controller. 这个controller是client-go 的Cache controller ，主要用来控制从 APIServer 获得的对象的 cache 以及更新对象。
下面主要关注这个函数调用
wg.StartWithChannel(processorStopCh, s.processor.run)这里进行了真正的Listering 调用。
func (p *sharedProcessor) run(stopCh <-chan struct{}) {
func() {
p.listenersLock.RLock()
defer p.listenersLock.RUnlock()
for _, listener := range p.listeners {
p.wg.Start(listener.run)
p.wg.Start(listener.pop)
}
p.listenersStarted = true
}()
<-stopCh
p.listenersLock.RLock()
defer p.listenersLock.RUnlock()
for _, listener := range p.listeners {
close(listener.addCh) // Tell .pop() to stop. .pop() will tell .run() to stop
}
p.wg.Wait() // Wait for all .pop() and .run() to stop
}主要看 run 方法，还记得前面已经把ADD UPDATE DELETE 注册了自定义的处理函数了吗。这里就实现了前面函数的触发
func (p *processorListener) run() {
// this call blocks until the channel is closed. When a panic happens during the notification
// we will catch it, **the offending item will be skipped!**, and after a short delay (one second)
// the next notification will be attempted. This is usually better than the alternative of never
// delivering again.
stopCh := make(chan struct{})
wait.Until(func() {
// this gives us a few quick retries before a long pause and then a few more quick retries
err := wait.ExponentialBackoff(retry.DefaultRetry, func() (bool, error) {
for next := range p.nextCh {
switch notification := next.(type) {
case updateNotification:
p.handler.OnUpdate(notification.oldObj, notification.newObj)
case addNotification:
p.handler.OnAdd(notification.newObj)
case deleteNotification:
p.handler.OnDelete(notification.oldObj)
default:
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("unrecognized notification: %#v", next))
}
}
// the only way to get here is if the p.nextCh is empty and closed
return true, nil
})
// the only way to get here is if the p.nextCh is empty and closed
if err == nil {
close(stopCh)
}
}, 1*time.Minute, stopCh)
}可以看到当p.nexhCh channel 接收到一个对象进入的时候，就会根据通知类型的不同，选择对应的用户注册函数去调用。那么这个channel 谁来向其中传入参数呢
func (p *processorListener) pop() {
defer utilruntime.HandleCrash()
defer close(p.nextCh) // Tell .run() to stop
var nextCh chan<- interface{}
var notification interface{}
for {
select {
case nextCh <- notification:
// Notification dispatched
var ok bool
notification, ok = p.pendingNotifications.ReadOne()
if !ok { // Nothing to pop
nextCh = nil // Disable this select case
}
case notificationToAdd, ok := <-p.addCh:
if !ok {
return
}
if notification == nil { // No notification to pop (and pendingNotifications is empty)
// Optimize the case - skip adding to pendingNotifications
notification = notificationToAdd
nextCh = p.nextCh
} else { // There is already a notification waiting to be dispatched
p.pendingNotifications.WriteOne(notificationToAdd)
}
}
}
}答案就是这个pop 函数，这里会从p.addCh中读取增加的通知，然后转给p.nexhCh 并且保证每个通知只会读取一次。
下面就是最终的Controller run 函数，我们来看看到底干了什么
// Run begins processing items, and will continue until a value is sent down stopCh.
// It's an error to call Run more than once.
// Run blocks; call via go.
func (c *controller) Run(stopCh <-chan struct{}) {
defer utilruntime.HandleCrash()
go func() {
<-stopCh
c.config.Queue.Close()
}()
r := NewReflector(
c.config.ListerWatcher,
c.config.ObjectType,
c.config.Queue,
c.config.FullResyncPeriod,
)
r.ShouldResync = c.config.ShouldResync
r.clock = c.clock
c.reflectorMutex.Lock()
c.reflector = r
c.reflectorMutex.Unlock()
var wg wait.Group
defer wg.Wait()
wg.StartWithChannel(stopCh, r.Run)
wait.Until(c.processLoop, time.Second, stopCh)
}这里主要的就是wg.StartWithChannel(stopCh, r.Run)，
// Run starts a watch and handles watch events. Will restart the watch if it is closed.
// Run will exit when stopCh is closed.
func (r *Reflector) Run(stopCh <-chan struct{}) {
klog.V(3).Infof("Starting reflector %v (%s) from %s", r.expectedType, r.resyncPeriod, r.name)
wait.Until(func() {
if err := r.ListAndWatch(stopCh); err != nil {
utilruntime.HandleError(err)
}
}, r.period, stopCh)
}这里就调用了r.ListAndWatch 方法，这个方法比较复杂，我们慢慢来看。
// watchHandler watches w and keeps *resourceVersion up to date.
func (r *Reflector) watchHandler(w watch.Interface, resourceVersion *string, errc chan error, stopCh <-chan struct{}) error {
start := r.clock.Now()
eventCount := 0
// Stopping the watcher should be idempotent and if we return from this function there's no way
// we're coming back in with the same watch interface.
defer w.Stop()
// update metrics
defer func() {
r.metrics.numberOfItemsInWatch.Observe(float64(eventCount))
r.metrics.watchDuration.Observe(time.Since(start).Seconds())
}()
loop:
for {
select {
case <-stopCh:
return errorStopRequested
case err := <-errc:
return err
case event, ok := <-w.ResultChan():
if !ok {
break loop
}
if event.Type == watch.Error {
return apierrs.FromObject(event.Object)
}
if e, a := r.expectedType, reflect.TypeOf(event.Object); e != nil && e != a {
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%s: expected type %v, but watch event object had type %v", r.name, e, a))
continue
}
meta, err := meta.Accessor(event.Object)
if err != nil {
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%s: unable to understand watch event %#v", r.name, event))
continue
}
newResourceVersion := meta.GetResourceVersion()
switch event.Type {
case watch.Added:
err := r.store.Add(event.Object)
if err != nil {
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%s: unable to add watch event object (%#v) to store: %v", r.name, event.Object, err))
}
case watch.Modified:
err := r.store.Update(event.Object)
if err != nil {
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%s: unable to update watch event object (%#v) to store: %v", r.name, event.Object, err))
}
case watch.Deleted:
// TODO: Will any consumers need access to the "last known
// state", which is passed in event.Object? If so, may need
// to change this.
err := r.store.Delete(event.Object)
if err != nil {
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%s: unable to delete watch event object (%#v) from store: %v", r.name, event.Object, err))
}
default:
utilruntime.HandleError(fmt.Errorf("%s: unable to understand watch event %#v", r.name, event))
}
*resourceVersion = newResourceVersion
r.setLastSyncResourceVersion(newResourceVersion)
eventCount++
}
}
watchDuration := r.clock.Now().Sub(start)
if watchDuration < 1*time.Second && eventCount == 0 {
r.metrics.numberOfShortWatches.Inc()
return fmt.Errorf("very short watch: %s: Unexpected watch close - watch lasted less than a second and no items received", r.name)
}
klog.V(4).Infof("%s: Watch close - %v total %v items received", r.name, r.expectedType, eventCount)
return nil
}这里就是真正调用watch 方法，根据返回的watch 事件，将其放入到前面创建的 FIFO 队列中。
最终调用了controller 的POP 方法
// processLoop drains the work queue.
// TODO: Consider doing the processing in parallel. This will require a little thought
// to make sure that we don't end up processing the same object multiple times
// concurrently.
//
// TODO: Plumb through the stopCh here (and down to the queue) so that this can
// actually exit when the controller is stopped. Or just give up on this stuff
// ever being stoppable. Converting this whole package to use Context would
// also be helpful.
func (c *controller) processLoop() {
for {
obj, err := c.config.Queue.Pop(PopProcessFunc(c.config.Process))
if err != nil {
if err == FIFOClosedError {
return
}
if c.config.RetryOnError {
// This is the safe way to re-enqueue.
c.config.Queue.AddIfNotPresent(obj)
}
}
}
}前面是将 watch 到的对象加入到队列中，这里的goroutine 就是用来消费的。具体的消费函数就是前面创建的Process 函数
func (s *sharedIndexInformer) HandleDeltas(obj interface{}) error {
s.blockDeltas.Lock()
defer s.blockDeltas.Unlock()
// from oldest to newest
for _, d := range obj.(Deltas) {
switch d.Type {
case Sync, Added, Updated:
isSync := d.Type == Sync
s.cacheMutationDetector.AddObject(d.Object)
if old, exists, err := s.indexer.Get(d.Object); err == nil && exists {
if err := s.indexer.Update(d.Object); err != nil {
return err
}
s.processor.distribute(updateNotification{oldObj: old, newObj: d.Object}, isSync)
} else {
if err := s.indexer.Add(d.Object); err != nil {
return err
}
s.processor.distribute(addNotification{newObj: d.Object}, isSync)
}
case Deleted:
if err := s.indexer.Delete(d.Object); err != nil {
return err
}
s.processor.distribute(deleteNotification{oldObj: d.Object}, false)
}
}
return nil
}
这个函数就是根据传进来的obj，先从自己的cache 中取一下，看是否存在，如果存在就代表是Update ，那么更新自己的队列后，调用用户注册的Update 函数，如果不存在，就调用用户的 Add 函数。
到此Client-go 的Informer 流程源码分析基本完毕。
