    Description

      Description of problem:

      We can observe some laziness removing a pod after its deletion.
      We are able to observe and reproduce it (almost constantly) for virt-launcher pods executing the VirtualMachineInstances of CNV and pods of a stateful set of another application but we are still not able to produce a minimal reproducer involving just a plain pod.

      In both the aforementioned cases, the involved pods are defined with terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 30 so we expect then to disappear in a comparable amount of time while it takes more then two minutes for the pods to disappear.

      Observing it on a cluster, we can certainly state that all the containers part of the involved pods are terminating in a matter of seconds on the node.
      We clearly see it with crioctl inspecting the container list or with `ps` looking for CNV virt-launcher processes on the node.

      On the kubelet logs on the node we see:

      sh-5.1# journalctl -u kubelet | grep ba7b7c10940f24c6fa4a83632f435558e8cf940bc89097855622dd2cc4bef09a

      So the kubelet correctly received the ContainerDied event at 10:13:54.682798 for container ba7b7c10940f24c6fa4a83632f435558e8cf940bc89097855622dd2cc4bef09a but for some reason it ignored it until 10:16:24.254959 where it reported "StopContainer from runtime service failed" err="rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded desc = context deadline exceeded" for the same container.

      The issue is not fully systematic (we suspect a race condition).
      When we fail to reproduce it for the same pod we see something like:

      sh-5.1# journalctl -u kubelet | grep b712045c4b544

      So, for some reason, when we are able to hit the bug we do not see the RemoveContainer statement in the kubelet logs that is instead there when we fail reproducing it.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      CRI-O 1.28, CRI-O 1.27.2 (but not on CRI-O <= 1.27.1!), CRI-O 1.25.4 (but not on previous CRI-O).
Doing some bisection we think that https://github.com/cri-o/cri-o/pull/7129 is a good candidate being in all the affected versions.

      How reproducible:

      pretty high with specific pods (managed by CNV vmi or by a statefulset) but not systematic

      Steps to Reproduce:

          1. still not 100% clear with a minimal reproducer pod but we can prepare a cluster and the instructions on how to reproduce it
    2.
    3.

      Actual results:

      All the containers and all the expected process are terminated but the pod is stuck in terminating for more than 2 minutes.

      Expected results:

      The pod is quickly removed when all of its containers are terminated

The existence of an easily implemented workaround can also lead to this priority level instead of a higher priority.
