Implements a new set of tests covering

  • CRI-O CDI integration,
  • SELinux/SCC security enforcement,
  • ResourceClaim lifecycle

on real NVIDIA GPU hardware i.e. areas with no existing upstream or OpenShift test coverage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Added end-to-end coverage for NVIDIA GPU resource allocation and claim lifecycles.
    • Added validation for CRI-O CDI integration, including GPU injection, CUDA access, multi-GPU workloads, and init containers.
    • Added security coverage for SELinux enforcement, restricted workloads, non-root access, and security context assignments.
    • Added checks for GPU visibility, device health, claim status, and node configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Added a draft testing strategy outlining coverage areas, prerequisites, execution priorities, and CI considerations for NVIDIA hardware.

Documents the full test plan covering 10 categories (CRI-O CDI,
SELinux/SCC, kubelet restart, node drain, PodResources API, device
health, claim lifecycle, admin access, device taints, metrics) for

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 5 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

All added executable Ginkgo titles use static string literals. The titles do not include pod names, namespaces, node names, timestamps, UUIDs, IP addresses, formatting, or runtime values. Runtime names such as oc.Namespace() and pod identifiers occur in test bodies only. The lifecycle title is descriptive and static; no explicit unstable-name condition is present.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The added Ginkgo tests violate the assertion-message requirement. Many changed assertions call framework.ExpectNoError(err) without a diagnostic, for example claim_lifecycle.go:59, 65, 69, 77, 83, and 97; crio_cdi.go:86, 109, 114, 120, 126, 148, 154, 160, 181, 186, and 200; and security.go:58, 63, 69, 75, 103, 108, 126, 140, 145, 159, 189, 202, 207, 212, 214, and 217. Several o.Expect calls also lack messages, such as claim_lifecycle.go:151-152 and security.go:77. The missing diagnostics are introduced by this pull request. The cluster waits use context-aware helpers with the repository's default pod-start timeout, and the explicit polling uses finite timeouts, so no timeout failure was found. Most resources have deferred deletion, but the new suites do not explicitly delete their created workload pods; repository DRA examples register pod cleanup as well. The SCC audit test also combines driver-pod SCC validation with workload-pod SCC validation in one It block, which is a separate-responsibility concern.

Resolution

Add a meaningful diagnostic to every ExpectNoError and raw Expect assertion, including the operation and resource name. Register cleanup for every created workload pod, preferably with the repository's DeletePodAndWait pattern and a cleanup context that remains usable after test cancellation. Keep DeviceClass and ResourceClaim cleanup error-aware. Split the SCC audit into separate It blocks for driver-pod SCC and workload-pod SCC validation, unless both checks are intentionally treated as one single behavior.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The added Ginkgo tests use Kubernetes core APIs and resource.k8s.io DRA resources. They do not reference any prohibited OpenShift API group, prohibited namespace, FeatureGate, upgrade workflow, or multi-node/HA assumption. The SCC checks use the allowed SCC annotation. No MicroShift guard is required by the stated failure conditions.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

The 11 new Ginkgo tests do not introduce a multi-node or HA assumption. They require at least one GPU node, and the only multiplicity checks concern GPUs or containers. The two-container test runs both containers in one Pod, which is explicitly compatible with SNO. The helper NodeSelector targets the single node where a Pod already runs; it does not require distinct nodes. No anti-affinity, topology spread, node drain, failover, rescheduling, node counting, or cross-node communication appears in the changed implementation. The multi-node scenarios in DESIGN.md are documentation only and are not compiled tests.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds Ginkgo tests, resource builders, and validation helpers. It does not add or modify deployment manifests, operators, or controllers. The only new selector targets kubernetes.io/hostname for a debug pod; no control-plane or worker selector, anti-affinity, topology spread, replica strategy, PDB, or broad taint toleration was added. The existing prerequisite installer was not changed. DESIGN.md contains proposals only and does not introduce runtime scheduling constraints.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

The changed files add only var _ = g.Describe(...) suite registrations, with no process-level print or logging call. The top-level CLI constructors only register hooks and read configuration. All added framework.Logf calls use Kubernetes framework.log, which writes to ginkgo.GinkgoWriter, and they occur in test or helper execution paths. The diff adds no fmt.Print*, log.Print*, klog, os.Stdout, RunSpecs, BeforeSuite, AfterSuite, SynchronizedBeforeSuite, TestMain, or init stdout write.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

The new serial Ginkgo suites create Pods that use public registry images without an internal registry or mirror. Every new workload test passes an empty image, which resolves to nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:12.0.0-base-ubuntu22.04 in ResourceBuilder. The PR also adds debug Pods using registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal:latest; the new CDI-node and SELinux tests invoke that debug-Pod path. These images require registry connectivity in disconnected CI. The suites contain [Serial] markers and do not contain [Skipped:Disconnected]. No IPv4-only address parsing or hardcoded IPv4 address was found.

Resolution

IPv6 and disconnected network compatibility notice: This test may contain IPv4 assumptions or external connectivity requirements that will fail in IPv6-only disconnected environments. Please verify the tests on IPv6 by running /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.22-e2e-metal-ipi-serial-ovn-ipv6. Use an internal or mirrored CUDA image and an internal or mirrored debug image, or make the images configurable from cluster-local test assets. If external images are required and the tests cannot be adapted, add [Skipped:Disconnected] to the affected test names.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds DRA tests, validation helpers, pod builders, and design documentation. The complete diff from the apparent PR base (bd31098) contains no MD5, SHA1, DES/3DES, RC4, Blowfish, or ECB usage. The changed Go files import only context, fmt, strings, time, Kubernetes/OpenShift packages, and ptr. No crypto APIs, custom cryptographic implementation, or secret/token comparison is introduced.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The PR introduces a Kubernetes debug Pod in test/extended/node/dra/nvidia/gpu_validator.go. The manifest sets HostPID: true (line 412), HostNetwork: true (line 413), and SecurityContext.Privileged: true (line 427). New CDI and SELinux tests create this Pod through createDebugPod, so the behavior is introduced and exercised by the PR. No added HostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, or AllowPrivilegeEscalation: true fields were found.

Resolution

Remove the privileged debug Pod and its HostPID and HostNetwork settings. Use a permitted non-privileged node-inspection mechanism, or perform host inspection outside a Kubernetes container with documented harness authorization. Keep workload containers non-privileged with AllowPrivilegeEscalation: false.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The PR adds direct test logging of internal node hostnames. crio_cdi.go passes pod.Spec.NodeName to ValidateCDISpecFilesOnNode, and security.go passes GPU node names to the SELinux validators. Those new validators write nodeName with framework.Logf and include it in returned errors. ValidateNoSELinuxDenials also returns raw matching ausearch lines, which can contain host and system details. These values can reach the test logs.

Resolution

Remove raw nodeName values from log messages and errors. Use a generic label or an opaque, non-reversible test identifier. Do not include raw CDI directory listings, AVC records, command output, or stderr in errors that the test framework logs. Report only counts and fixed diagnostic categories, and retain detailed output only in a protected diagnostic path with approved redaction.

Avoid assigning the outer err inside the poll closure.

Line 103 writes the same err variable that Line 102 assigns from PollUntilContextTimeout. The final value is the poll result, so behavior is correct today, but the aliasing hides which error Line 109 reports. Use a local error inside the closure.

Two containers share one SecurityContext pointer.

insecure TLS verification: replace -k with a trusted CA bundle, or direct users
to a Kubernetes client with certificate verification enabled.
- Around line 473-475: Update the Category 4 node-drain guidance in the cluster
test instructions to prohibit running these tests on SNO clusters; require a
cluster with separate control-plane and dedicated worker nodes, while preserving
the existing guidance for other test categories.
- Around line 229-230: Update the test setup and unconditional cleanup in the
documented flow to use a dedicated namespace, capture any pre-existing
resource.kubernetes.io/admin-access label value, and restore that value on exit;
if no label existed originally, remove the label during cleanup.

Kubernetes Dynamic Resource Allocation CDI devices CRI ContainerConfig Pod annotations CRI-O official documentation

💡 Result:

Kubernetes uses the Container Device Interface (CDI) as a standardized mechanism for injecting devices into containers [1]. The integration involves several components, including Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA), the Container Runtime Interface (CRI), and container runtimes like CRI-O [2][3][4]. 1. CDI Integration and Evolution: Historically, CDI device names were passed to container runtimes using Pod annotations [2][5]. To improve security and reliability, Kubernetes introduced a dedicated CDIDevices field in the CRI protocol [2][6]. Kubelet now uses this explicit CRI field to pass CDI device names to runtimes [5][7]. Runtimes, including CRI-O (since v1.28.0) and containerd (since v1.7.2), have been updated to support this CRI field, and the use of annotations for this purpose is being phased out [5]. 2. Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA): DRA is a Kubernetes API that enables the claiming and sharing of hardware resources (like GPUs or other accelerators) [4]. When a Pod requests a resource via a ResourceClaim, the associated driver and kubelet plugin determine the necessary devices [4][8]. These devices are specified using fully-qualified CDI device names, which are passed to the container runtime via the CRI ContainerConfig [3][7]. 3. CRI-O Configuration: CRI-O supports CDI device injection by scanning designated directories for CDI specification files [9][1]. By default, CRI-O monitors /etc/cdi and /var/run/cdi [9][10]. Administrators can customize these locations via the cdi_spec_dirs setting in the crio.conf configuration file [9]. Once a CDI specification file is placed in these directories, the defined devices become available for injection [1]. 4. CDI Specification and Usage: The CDI specification defines how devices are mapped to containers, including device nodes, environment variables, mounts, and hooks [11][12]. Developers and system administrators use tools like the cdi CLI to validate these specifications [12]. The integration ensures that Kubernetes does not need to understand the internal details of device configuration, as it only manages the high-level request and injection process using the CDI identifiers [6][7]. In summary, the modern approach replaces Pod annotations with structured CRI fields for passing CDI devices, enabling a more robust and vendor-neutral interface for hardware acceleration in Kubernetes clusters [2][6][5][7].

Kubernetes Dynamic Resource Allocation CDI device injection kubelet CRI official documentation

💡 Result:

In Kubernetes, Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) leverages the Container Device Interface (CDI) to inject devices into containers. This process relies on a standardized flow where the Kubelet coordinates with DRA drivers and the container runtime via the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) [1][2]. Mechanism Overview: 1. Resource Allocation and Binding: When a Pod requests a resource via a ResourceClaim, the Kubernetes scheduler allocates the resource and ensures the Pod is placed on a node capable of accessing it [3][4]. 2. Kubelet Preparation: Once the Pod is scheduled, the Kubelet communicates with the DRA driver (via gRPC) to prepare the required resources on the node [3][5]. The driver identifies the necessary devices and returns their fully-qualified CDI device names to the Kubelet [6][7]. 3. CRI Injection: The Kubelet manages these device assignments within its internal state (ClaimInfo) [8][7]. To make these devices accessible to the container, the Kubelet passes the list of CDI device names to the container runtime via the CRI API [1][9]. Specifically, the CRI protocol includes a dedicated CDIDevices field within the container configuration, which ensures the runtime receives the device identifiers securely and natively [1][9]. Key Technical Details: - Standardization: The use of an explicit CDIDevice field in the CRI protocol replaced older, less secure workarounds that relied on passing CDI device names through container annotations [1][9]. - API Evolution: Support for processing fully-qualified CDI device names was integrated into the Device Manager and DRA workflows to ensure consistent handling of hardware acceleration and attached devices [6][9]. - Feature Status: DRA became a stable, default feature in Kubernetes v1.35 [4]. The integration of CDI devices into the CRI for both DRA and traditional Device Plugins is a supported mechanism for modern Kubernetes device management [6][9]. Authoritative sources for further technical implementation details include the Kubernetes documentation on Dynamic Resource Allocation [2][4] and the official Kubernetes enhancements repository (KEP-4009) which details the addition of CDI devices to the Device Plugin and CRI APIs [9].

Make the pre-prepare restart window deterministic.

“Before claim is fully prepared” is a race, not a synchronization point. The test can restart kubelet after preparation and miss the intended path, or become flaky. Add a driver barrier or another observable hook that pauses NodePrepareResources until the test starts the restart.

OpenShift oc debug node /host chroot systemctl documentation

💡 Result:

To debug a node in OpenShift and interact with host-level services such as systemd, you use the oc debug command to spawn a privileged pod that mounts the host's filesystem [1][2][3]. Procedure: 1. Start a debug session for the target node: oc debug node/<node_name> 2. Once the pod shell opens, the host's filesystem is mounted at /host [4][1][5]. To interact with the host's environment, including binaries and system services, change the root directory to /host [4][6]: chroot /host 3. You can now execute commands as if you were logged into the host, such as checking or managing systemd services [4][7][8]: systemctl status <service_name> systemctl is-active <service_name> Explanation: When you run oc debug node/<node_name>, OpenShift creates a privileged pod with HostPID, HostIPC, and HostNetwork namespaces enabled [2][3][8]. It mounts the host's root directory (/) to the pod's /host mount point [1][5][2]. Simply entering the pod shell puts you in the debug container's environment, not the host's. Running chroot /host shifts the root of your current shell session to the host's filesystem, which allows you to use the host's binaries and interact directly with systemd services [4][1][6]. This is the standard, supported method for troubleshooting nodes in OpenShift clusters [4][5].

OpenShift Container Platform 4.16 single-node OpenShift node drain control plane worker oc adm drain documentation

💡 Result:

In OpenShift Container Platform 4.16, the option to drain a node is explicitly unavailable for single-node OpenShift (SNO) clusters [1][2][3]. Because an SNO cluster consists of only one node serving as both the control plane and worker, there is no other node available to which workloads can be rescheduled [4][5]. When performing cluster updates or maintenance that would typically trigger a node drain in a high-availability (HA) cluster, the drain step is skipped in SNO environments [4][6][5]. Consequently, downtime is required for such operations as the single node must be taken offline, impacting both cluster management and user workloads [6][5]. If you encounter issues where pods remain in a failed state due to a node reboot without a proper drain, you can manually remove the failed pods by running the following command [1][2][3]: oc delete pods --field-selector status.phase=Failed -n <POD_NAMESPACE> While oc adm drain remains a valid administrative command for multi-node OpenShift clusters to safely evict workloads during maintenance [7][8], attempting to use it on an SNO cluster is not supported and will not function as intended for workload migration [1][2][3].

Do not count stderr lines as GPUs.

output merges stdout and stderr, and the loop at Lines 490-494 counts every nonempty line as one GPU. nvidia-smi writes warnings to stderr (for example NVML or persistence-mode notices) while still exiting 0. Each warning line then inflates actualGPUCount and the validation fails with a misleading count.

Count only stdout lines. Keep stderr in the error text for diagnosis.

ausearch failures make the AVC check pass silently.

The command hides stderr and forces exit code 0. If ausearch is absent from the host, or if auditd is not running, or if the command fails for any other reason, stdout is empty. ValidateNoSELinuxDenials then logs "No AVC denials found" and returns nil. The security assertion in security.go (Lines 88 and 91) passes without inspecting any audit records.

Separate "no denials" from "cannot query denials". Keep 2>/dev/null || true off the command, capture the exit status, and fail when the tool is missing or errors.

Set DeviceClassName on ExactDeviceRequest. BuildResourceClaimWithCELSelector leaves this required field empty. validateExactDeviceRequest calls validateDeviceClass, which returns field.Required for an empty value. The createResourceClaim call can therefore reject the claim before the CEL selector test runs. Set DeviceClassName to defaultDeviceClassName or accept a valid class name as an argument.

In `@test/extended/node/dra/nvidia/resource_builder.go` at line 330, Set
DeviceClassName on the ExactDeviceRequest constructed by
BuildResourceClaimWithCELSelector, using defaultDeviceClassName or a valid
class-name parameter, so validateExactDeviceRequest accepts the claim before CEL
selector evaluation.

Both SCC assertions pass when the openshift.io/scc annotation is missing. GetPodSCC returns an empty string for a pod without the annotation, and NotTo(o.Equal("privileged")) accepts that empty string. Neither assertion proves which SCC admitted the pod.

  • test/extended/node/dra/nvidia/security.go#L127-L128: also assert that scc is not empty before comparing it to "privileged".
  • test/extended/node/dra/nvidia/security.go#L218-L219: apply the same non-empty assertion to workloadSCC.

In `@test/extended/node/dra/nvidia/security.go` around lines 127 - 128, Ensure
both SCC validation sites confirm an SCC annotation exists before rejecting
privileged access: at test/extended/node/dra/nvidia/security.go lines 127-128,
update the assertion around scc; at lines 218-219, apply the same assertion to
workloadSCC. Each site must assert the value is non-empty and not equal to
"privileged".
