NodeResourceTopology(aka NRT) custom resource is used to enable NUMA aware Scheduling in Kubernetes.
As of now node-feature-discovery daemons are used to advertise those
resources but there is no service responsible for removing obsolete
objects(without corresponding Kubernetes node).
This patch adds new daemon called nfd-topology-gc which removes old
NRTs.

Use the "single-dash" version of nfd command line flags in deployment
files and e2e-tests. No impact in functionality, just aligns with
documentation and other parts of the codebase.
Deprecate the '-featurerules-controller' command line flag as the name
does not describe the functionality anymore: in practice it controls the
CRD controller handling both NodeFeature and NodeFeatureRule objects.
The patch introduces a duplicate, more generally named, flag
'-crd-controller'. A warning is printed in the log if
'-featurerules-controller' flag is encountered.
Add initial support for handling NodeFeature objects. With this patch
nfd-master watches NodeFeature objects in all namespaces and reacts to
changes in any of these. The node which a certain NodeFeature object
affects is determined by the "nfd.node.kubernetes.io/node-name"
annotation of the object. When a NodeFeature object targeting certain
node is changed, nfd-master needs to process all other objects targeting
the same node, too, because there may be dependencies between them.
Add a new command line flag for selecting between gRPC and NodeFeature
CRD API as the source of feature requests. Enabling NodeFeature API
disables the gRPC interface.
-enable-nodefeature-api enable NodeFeature CRD API for incoming
feature requests, will disable the gRPC
interface (defaults to false)
It is not possible to serve gRPC and watch NodeFeature objects at the
same time. This is deliberate to avoid labeling races e.g. by nfd-worker
sending gRPC requests but NodeFeature objects in the cluster
"overriding" those changes (labels from the gRPC requests will get
overridden when NodeFeature objects are processed).
Support the new NodeFeatures object of the NFD CRD api. Add two new
command line options to nfd-worker:
-kubeconfig specifies the kubeconfig to use for
connecting k8s api (defaults to empty which
implies in-cluster config)
-enable-nodefeature-api enable the NodeFeature CRD API for
communicating node features to nfd-master,
will also automatically disable gRPC
(defgault to false)
No config file option for selecting the API is available as there should
be no need for dynamically selecting between gRPC and CRD. The
nfd-master configuration must be changed in tandem and it is safer (and
avoid awkward configuration races) to configure the whole NFD deployment
at once.
Default behavior of nfd-worker is not changed i.e. NodeFeatures object
creation is not enabled by default (but must be enabled with the command
line flag).
The patch also updates the kustomize and Helm deployment, adding RBAC
rules for nfd-worker and updating the example worker configuration.
Add a new NodeFeature CRD to the nfd Kubernetes API to communicate node
features over K8s api objects instead of gRPC. The new resource is
namespaced which will help the management of multiple NodeFeature
objects per node. This aims at enabling 3rd party detectors for custom
features.
In addition to communicating raw features the NodeFeature object also
has a field for directly requesting labels that should be applied on the
node object.
Rename the crd deployment file to nfd-api-crds.yaml so that it matches
the new content of the file. Also, rename the Helm subdir for CRDs to
match the expected chart directory structure.
Drop the gRPC communication to nfd-master and connect to the Kubernetes
API server directly when updating NodeResourceTopology objects.
Topology-updater already has connection to the API server for listing
Pods so this is not that dramatic change. It also simplifies the code
a lot as there is no need for the NFD gRPC client and no need for
managing TLS certs/keys.
This change aligns nfd-topology-updater with the future direction of
nfd-worker where the gRPC API is being dropped and replaced by a
CRD-based API.
This patch also update deployment files and documentation to reflect
this change.
Extend NodeFeatureRule Spec with taints field to allow users to
specify the list of the taints they want to be set on the node if
rule matches.

Helm 3 can manage CRDs in a more user friendly way. In fact, this now
causes deployment failure as Helm automatically tries to install the CRD
from the "crds/" subdir, too.
- Add a helm template with a config example for the exclude-list.
- Add mount for the topology-updater.conf file
- Update the templates Makefile target

When used as other charts' dependency, helm will install manifests of this chart to parent chart's namespace, if subchart needs to install to another namespace, helm recommend to use namespaceOverride (helm/charts#15202)

This commit creates a separate ServiceAccount for the nfd-worker like the
other components.
Even though the nfd-worker doesn't need any special RBAC permissions, this
feature is useful for nvidia/gpu-operator (a downstream project) which
supports PodSecurityPolicies. But since nfd-worker doesn't have its own
ServiceAccount, they've bolted on this feature into their fork, which is
giving them issues.
PodSecurityPolicies are used to grant special permission to nfd-worker to
create hostPath volumes.
Change the helm chart so that the NodeFeatureRule controller will be
disabled for other than the default deployment (i.e. all deployments
where master.instance is non-empty), unless explicitly set to true. With
this we try to ensure that there is only on controller instance for the
CR, avoiding contention and conflicts.
Move top-level serviceAccount and rbac fields under master, making the
Helm chart more coherent.
Also, drop unused rbac.serviceAccountName and
rbac.serviceAccountAnnotations from values.yaml.
Add a configuration option for controlling the enabled "raw" feature
sources. This is useful e.g. in testing and development, plus it also
allows fully shutting down discovery of features that are not needed in
a deployment. Supplements core.labelSources which controls the
enablement of label sources.
