Some of the E2E node tests were flaky. Their timeout apparently was chosen
under the assumption that kubelet would retry immediately after a failed gRPC
call, with a factor of 2 as safety margin. But according to
0449cef8fd,
kubelet has a different, higher retry period of 90 seconds, which was exactly
the test timeout. The test timeout has to be higher than that.
As the tests don't use the gRPC call timeout anymore, it can be made
private. While at it, the name and documentation gets updated.
This adds the ability to select specific requests inside a claim for a
container.
NodePrepareResources is always called, even if the claim is not used by any
container. This could be useful for drivers where that call has some effect
other than injecting CDI device IDs into containers. It also ensures that
drivers can validate configs.
The pod resource API can no longer report a class for each claim because there
is no such 1:1 relationship anymore. Instead, that API reports claim,
API devices (with driver/pool/device as ID) and CDI device IDs. The kubelet
itself doesn't extract that information from the claim. Instead, it relies on
drivers to report this information when the claim gets prepared. This isolates
the kubelet from API changes.
Because of a faulty E2E test, kubelet was told to contact the wrong driver for
a claim. This was not visible in the kubelet log output. Now changes to the
claim info cache are getting logged. While at it, naming of variables and some
existing log output gets harmonized.

This is the second and final step towards making kubelet independent of the
resource.k8s.io API versioning because it now doesn't need to copy structs
defined by that API from the driver to the API server.
This is a first step towards making kubelet independent of the resource.k8s.io
API versioning because it now doesn't need to copy structs defined by that API
from the driver to the API server. The next step is removing the other
direction (reading ResourceClaim status and passing the resource handle to
drivers).
The drivers must get deployed so that they have their own connection to the API
server. Securing at least the writes via a validating admission policy should
be possible.
As before, the kubelet removes all ResourceSlices for its node at startup, then
DRA drivers recreate them if (and only if) they start up again. This ensures
that there are no orphaned ResourceSlices when a driver gets removed while the
kubelet was down.
While at it, logging gets cleaned up and updated to use structured, contextual
logging as much as possible. gRPC requests and streams now use a shared,
per-process request ID and streams also get logged.
The information is received from the DRA driver plugin through a new gRPC
streaming interface. This is backwards compatible with old DRA driver kubelet
plugins, their gRPC server will return "not implemented" and that can be
handled by kubelet. Therefore no API break is needed.
However, DRA drivers need to be updated because the Go API changed. They can
return
status.New(codes.Unimplemented, "no node resource support").Err()
if they don't support the new ListAndWatchResources method and
structured parameters.
The controller in kubelet then synchronizes this information from the driver
with NodeResourceSlice objects, creating, updating and deleting them as needed.
