SwitchTraffic: use separate context while canceling a migration #17340

Description

Use a fresh context in cancelMigration() so that the rollback steps will happen independent of any timeouts on the client side.

We should backport this to supported versions since failures in SwitchTraffic can cause cluster unavailability.

It probably does not matter logically, but I'm often wondering whether semantically context.WithoutCancel would be more accurate in this situation?

Suggested change
cmCtx, cmCancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), cmTimeout)
cmCtx, cmCancel := context.WithTimeout(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), cmTimeout)

It probably makes no difference as we're not using values stored on the context.

It is possible that we get here when the ctx is already cancelled. In the specific case which lead us to this issue the client had a short timeout and original context's deadline had already expired.

I think I've run into this before, where switching traffic back and forth could lead to one side of the workflow (either the reverse or the original one) being deleted if a timeout is hit. Does this sound familiar? 🤔

If you reverse traffic then the source should not have any reverse workflow running since we are still doing forward vreplication (no traffic is switched). So the reverse workflow will get deleted.

❤️ IMO it's worth adding a unit test [case] where we call cancel with a canceled context but it's such a simple and obvious change that it's not required.

} else {
err = ts.changeShardsAccess(ctx, ts.SourceKeyspaceName(), ts.SourceShards(), allowWrites)
err = ts.changeShardsAccess(cmCtx, ts.SourceKeyspaceName(), ts.SourceShards(), allowWrites)
}
if err != nil {
ts.Logger().Errorf("Cancel migration failed: %v", err)

IMO we should take this opportunity to improve the log message:

ts.Logger().Errorf("Cancel migration failed: could not revert denied tables / shared access: %v", err)

I also think that we should accumulate these and return them to the caller. But we could defer that change.

Updated the log message. Let's make the changes to pass them to the caller separately since we are not returning the error at the moment.
