Description

Right now the timeouts for a teuthology job are quite long. Historically this was because the timeout period included the attempt to lock nodes, which could take a while.

Now, though, we have a "waiting" state!

So instead of an extremely large timeout (Zack said he thought it was 36 hours) we can have a shorter one (12 hours, maybe?) that doesn't begin until we exit the waiting state.

That would help with situations like #11314 where a broken task (that fails and hangs without noticing) will lock up all the machines in a job until the full teuthology timeout has passed.

  • Tracker changed from Fix to Feature

Just a note that, as proposed, this would require moderate changes to teuthology and also paddles.
