At present, there is no way for a hint provider to return distinct hints
for different resource types via a call to GetTopologyHints(). This
means that hint providers that govern multiple resource types (e.g. the
devicemanager) must do some sort of "pre-merge" on the hints it
generates for each resource type before passing them back to the
TopologyManager.
This patch changes the GetTopologyHints() interface to allow a hint
provider to pass back raw hints for each resource type, and allow the
TopologyManager to merge them using a single unified strategy.
This change also allows the TopologyManager to recognize which
resource type a set of hints originated from, should this information
become useful in the future.
DesiredStateOfWorldPopulator should skip a volume that is not used in any
pod. "Used" means either mounted (via volumeMounts) or used as raw block
device (via volumeDevices).
Especially when block feature is disabled, a block volume must not get into
DesiredStateOfWorld, because it would be formatted and mounted there.
Add live list of pods to PVC protection controller, as opposed to doing
only a cache-based list through the Informer. Both lists are performed
while processing a PVC with deletionTimestamp set to check whether Pods
using the PVC exist and remove the finalizer to enable deletion of the
PVC if that's not the case. Prior to this commit only the cache-based
list was done but that's unreliable because a pod using the PVC might
exist but not be in the cache just yet. On the other hand, the live
list is 100% reliable.
Note that it would be enough to do only the live list. Instead, this
commit adds it after the cache-based list and performs it only if the
latter finds no Pod blocking deletion of the PVC being processed. The
rationale is that live lists are expensive and it's desirable to
minimize them. The drawback is that if at the time of the cache-based
list the cache has not been notified yet of the deletion of a Pod using
the PVC the PVC is kept. Correctness is not compromised because the
finalizer will be removed when the Pod deletion notification is
received, but this means PVC deletion is delayed. Reducing live lists
was valued more than deleting PVCs slightly faster.
Also, add a unit test that fails without the change introduced by this
commit and revamp old unit tests. The latter is needed because expected
behavior is described in terms of API calls the controller makes, and
this commit introduces new API calls (the live lists).
