For now, we just pass 'nil' as the set of 'initialContainers' for
migrating from old state semantics to new ones. In a subsequent commit
will we pull this information from higher layers so that we can pass it
down at this stage properly.
- As discussed in reviews and other public channels,
this abstraction is used to represent numa nodes, not sockets.
- There is nothing inherently related to sockets in this package anyway.
As part of this, update the logic to use the NUMA information instead of
the Socket information when generating and consuming TopologyHints in
the CPUManager.
Unfortunately, the NUMA information is not readily available from
cadvisor, so we have to roll the logic to discover it by hand. In the
future, we should remove this custiom code to use the information
provided by cadvisor once it is made available.
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.
