I am generally not a big fan of retyring till it works...I rather waiting for a condition to be met,
if runc is gonna include that in their release soon opencontainers/runc#3349
I rather wait for that

in a less likely, but still occasional scenario where the race condition happens, runc currently exits with an error and we don't have a specific condition to wait for, so we retry and the odds to hit race condition again are minor (but we could repeat a couple of times, if that's needed)

i agree it would be better if this would be handled internally by runc, which that pr aims to address, so i asked author & approver if there are plans to release it (given that it was merged to the main 2 years ago)

// TODO (prezha): consider removing this retry workaround when #17976 is addressed upstream and we've updated to that runc version
list := func() error {
rr, err = cr.RunCmd(exec.Command("sudo", args...))
if err != nil {
klog.Infof("temporary error listing containers using runc (will retry): %v", err)
return err
}
// bail out
return nil
}
if err := retry.Expo(list, 100*time.Millisecond, 5*time.Second); err != nil {
return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "runc")
}

content := rr.Stdout.Bytes()
klog.Infof("JSON = %s", content)
d := json.NewDecoder(bytes.NewReader(content))
