Add new autoDefaultNs (default is "true") config option to nfd-master.
Setting the config option to false stops NFD from automatically adding
the "feature.node.kubernetes.io/" prefix to labels, annotations and
extended resources. Taints are not affected as for them no prefix is
automatically added. The user-visible part of enabling the option change
is that NodeFeatureRules, local feature files, hooks and configuration
of the "custom" may need to be altereda (if the auto-prefixing is
relied on).
For now, the config option defaults to "true", meaning no change in
default behavior. However, the intent is to change the default to
"false" in a future release, deprecating the option and eventually
removing it (forcing it to "false").
The goal of stopping doing "auto-prefixing" is to simplify the operation
(of nfd and users). Make the naming more straightforward and easier to
understand and debug (kind of WYSIWYG), eliminating peculiar corner
cases:
1. Make validation simpler and unambiguous
2. Remove "overloading" of names, i.e. the mapping two values to the
same actual name. E.g. previously something like
labels:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo: bar
foo: baz
Could actually result in node label:
feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo: baz
3. Make the processing/usagee of the "rule.matched" and "local.labels"
feature in NodeFeatureRules unambiguous and more understadable. E.g.
previously you could have node label
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/local-foo: bar" but in the NodeFeatureRule
you'd need to use the unprefixed name "local-foo" or the fully
prefixed name, depending on what was specified in the feature file (or
hook) on the node(s).
NOTE: setting autoDefaultNs to false is a breaking change for users who
rely on automatic prefixing with the default feature.node.kubernetes.io/
namespace. NodeFeatureRules, feature files, hooks and custom rules
(configuration of the "custom" source of nfd-worker) will need to be
altered. Unprefixed labels, annoations and extended resources will be
denied by nfd-master.
Make the handling of unprefixed names (of labels, annotations and
extended resources) well-defined and predictable. Previously the
resulting output was not predictable in case the same name was coming in
both the unprefixed and prefixed form, say unprefixed "foo=bar" coming from
one source (be it nfd-worker or NodeFeature(Rule)) and
"feature.node.kubernetes.io/foo=baz" from a NodeFeature(Rule).
Previously the output value was randomly either "bar" or "baz".
This patch adds prefixes to all names early in the processing
"pipeline", preventing random name clashes later on.
We now have metrics for getting detailed information about the NFD
instances running. There should be no need to pollute the node object
with NFD version annotations.
One problem with the annotations also that they were incomplete in the
sense that they only covered nfd-master and nfd-worker but not
nfd-topology-updater or nfd-gc.
Also, there was a problem with stale annotations, giving misleading
information. E.g. there was no way to remove old/stale master.version
annotations if nfd-master was scheduled on another node where it was
previously running.
Add a counter for total number of node update/sync requests. In
practice, this counts the number of gRPC requests received if the gRPC
API is in use. If the NodeFeature API is enabled, this counts the
requests initiated by the NFD API controller, i.e. updates triggered by
changes in NodeFeature or NodeFeatureRule objects plus updates initiated
by the controller resync period.
Add a counter for errors encountered when processing NodeFeatureRules.
Another simple counter without any additional prometheus labels -
nfd-master logs can provide further details.
Add a new counter for tracking node update failures from nfd-master.
This tracks both normal feature updates and the --prune sub-command.
This is a simple counter without any additional labels - nfd-master logs
can be used for further diagnostics.
Rename the metric, better describe what we're measuring and better
comply with prometheus naming conventions. Also change it to represent
actual updates of the node object on the Kubernetes apiserver.
Change the metric from a simple gauge (that basically was a single value
for the whole cluster) into a HistogramVec, aligning with the feature
discovery duration metric in nfd-worker. This improved metric now has
prometheus labels for the NFR name and node name, i.e. it is tracking
per-NFR metric for each node being processed. Also, change the naming to
better comply with prometheus suggested conventions.
Expose metrics via prometheus.monitoring.coreos.com/v1
The exposed metrics are
| Metric | Type | Meaning |
| --------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- |
| `nfd_master_build_info` | Gauge | Version from which nfd-master was built. |
| `nfd_worker_build_info` | Gauge | Version from which nfd-worker was built. |
| `nfd_updated_nodes` | Counter | Time taken to label a node |
| `nfd_crd_processing_time` | Gauge | Time taken to process a NodeFeatureRule CRD |
| `nfd_feature_discovery_duration_seconds` | HistogramVec | Time taken to discover features on a node |

This PR aims to optimize the process of updating nodes with
corresponding features. In fact, previously, we were updating nodes
sequentially even though they are independent from each other.
Therefore, we integrated new components: LabelersNodePool which is
responsible for spininng a goroutine whenever there's a request for
updating nodes, and a Workqueue which is responsible for holding nodes names
that should be updated.

This PR aims to support the dynamic values for labels in the
NodeFeatureRule CRD, it would offer more flexible labeling for users.
To achieve this, we check whether label value starts with "@", and if
it's the case, we will get the value of the feature value, and update
the value of the label with the feature value.

Drop the KlogDump helper in favor of klog.InfoS. However, that patch
introduces a new DelayedDumper() helper to avoid processing
(marshalling) of object unless really evaluated by the logging function.
It allows NFD-master to be run in active-passive way when running
multiple instances of NFD-master to prevent multiple components
from updating same custom resources.

This PR fixes the resync-period configuration option of the nfd-master.
In fact, previously, changes were not reflected in the nfd-master at
runtime. e2e tests are also implemented to make sure that the fix is
already working as expected.

This PR adds a config option for setting the NFD API controller resync period.
The resync period is only activated when the NodeFeature API has been
enabled (with -enable-nodefeature-api).

Fix a a bug where nfd-master with NodeFeature API enabled would crash
when NodeFeatureRule objects were processed in the case where no
NodeFeature objects existed. This was caused by trying to insert values
into a non-initialized NodeFeatureSpec in the code.
This patch adds two safety measures to prevent that from happening in
the future. First, add a constructor function for the NodeFeatureSpec
type, and second, check for uninitialized object in the function
inserting new functions.
TODO: add unit tests for the API helper functions.
Make the nfd.node.kubernetes.io/feature-labels and
nfd.node.kubernetes.io/extended-resources annotations behave similary to
the taints annotation: only create the annotations if some labels or
extended resources are created.
Change the NFD API handler to re-try on node update failures. Will work
around transient failures, making sure that failed nodes (i.e. nodes
that we failed to update) don't need to wait for the 1 hour resync
period before being tried again.
Add support for management of Extended Resources via the
NodeFeatureRule CRD API.
There are usage scenarios where users want to advertise features
as extended resources instead of labels (or annotations).
This patch enables the discovery of extended resources, via annotation
and patch of node.status.capacity and node.status.allocatable. By using
the NodeFeatureRule API.

Update node status before node metadata. This fixes a problem where we
lose track of NFD-managed extended resources in case patching node
status fails. Previously we removed all labels and annotations
(including the one listing our ERs) and only after that updated node
status. If node status update failed we had lost the annotation but
extended resources were still there, leaving them orphaned.
Disallow taints having a key with "kubernetes.io/" or "*.kubernetes.io/"
prefix. This is a precaution to protect the user from messing up with
the "official" well-known taints from Kubernetes itself. The only
exception is that the "nfd.node.kubernetes.io/" prefix is allowed.
However, there is one allowed NFD-specific namespace (and its
sub-namespaces) i.e. "feature.node.kubernetes.io" under the
kubernetes.io domain that can be used for NFD-managed taints.
Also disallow unprefixed taint keys. We don't add a default prefix to
unprefixed taints (like we do for labels) from NodeFeatureRules. This is
to prevent unpleasant surprises to users that need to manage matching
tolerations for their workloads.
