CNF-23698: e2e: make OVS dynamic pinning tests compatible with ovsDpdk CPUs - #1598
Conversation
When ovsDpdk CPUs are configured on the performance profile, the OVS affinity and cgroup tests need to account for DPDK PMD threads that run on dedicated ovsDpdk CPUs with their own exclusive cgroup partition. Signed-off-by: Talor Itzhak <titzhak@redhat.com>

WalkthroughThe performance profile test now parses the OVS DPDK CPU set. It adjusts the expected OVS cgroup CPU set and excludes DPDK PMD threads from OVS and guaranteed-pod affinity validations. ChangesOVS DPDK validation
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The tests now exempt DPDK PMD threads from some affinity assertions, but the current classification could also exempt a regular OVS thread that is incorrectly pinned to ovsDpdk CPUs, allowing a regression to pass unnoticed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not infer PMD identity from the CPU mask.
isOvsDpdkPMDThread classifies every thread whose affinity is a subset of ovsDpdkCPUSet as a DPDK PMD thread. The new continue statements then exempt that thread from the affinity assertions. If a regular ovs-vswitchd thread is incorrectly pinned to only OvsDpdk CPUs, the test will silently accept the regression. Determine PMD status from the thread's ovsdpdk.slice membership or a PMD-specific identifier, and use CPU-set containment only as a consistency check.
Also applies to: 506-509, 553-556, 578-581

in our test environment we don't have actual PMD threads running so atm it's not possible to determine the exact threads. this logic is used mainly as a safe mechanism to not break the existing tests.

@Tal-or, thanks for the context.
The current check is not safe against an OVS regression. A regular ovs-vswitchd thread that is incorrectly pinned only to ovsDpdkCPUSet will match isOvsDpdkPMDThread and bypass the assertion.
I understand that this environment cannot validate PMD identity now. The identity-based validation can be deferred to a follow-up when PMD threads are available. Would you like a GitHub issue for that follow-up?

Learning: In `test/e2e/performanceprofile/functests/7_performance_kubelet_node/cgroups.go`, the current end-to-end test environment does not run actual OVS DPDK PMD threads. PMD thread identity therefore cannot currently be validated directly in these tests.
