Previously, the verious Merge() policies of the TopologyManager all
eturned their own lifecycle.PodAdmitResult result. However, for
consistency in any failed admits, this is better handled in the
top-level Topology manager, with each policy only returning a boolean
about whether or not they would like to admit the pod or not. This
commit changes the semantics to match this logic.
The logic has been updated to match the logic of the best-effort policy
except in two places:
1) The hint filtering frunction has been updated to allow "don't care"
hints encoded with a `nil` affinity mask, to pass through the filter in
addition to hints that have just a single NUMA bit set.
2) After calculating the `bestHint` we transform "don't care" affinities
encoded as having all NUMA bits set in their affinity masks into "don't
care" affinities encoded as `nil`.
- Restructure function
- Remove bug fix for catching {nil true} - To be fixed in later commit
- Restore unit tests to original state for testing filterHints
- Remove getHintMatch method.
- Replace with simplified versions of mergePermutation and
iterateAllProviderTopologyHints methods - as used in best-effort.
- Remove getHintMatch unit tests.
- Update filterHints test to reflect changes in previous commit.
- Some common test cases achieve differing expected results based on
policy due to independent merge strategies. These cases are moved into
individual policy based test functions.
These changes make it so that a set of common test cases can be used for
all merge strategies, with specific test cases being able to be
specified on a policy-by-policy basis.
This abstraction moves the responsibility of merging topology hints to
the individual policies themselves. As part of this, it removes the
CanAdmitPodResult() API from the policy abstraction, and rolls it into a
second return value from Merge()
This patch fixes an issue where best-effort pods were not admitted
to the node if the single-numa-node policy was set.
This was because the Admit policy in single-numa-node policy does
not admit any pod where the hint is anything but single NUMA node. The 'best hint' in this case is {<set bits for num. Numa Nodes on machine>, true}
So on a machine with 2 NUMA nodes the best hint for a best-effort pod is {11,true} as best-effort pods have no Topology preferences.
The single-numa-node policy fails any pod with a not preferred hint OR a hint where > 1 bits are set, thus the above example resulting in termintaed pods with a Topology Affinity Error.
This is a short term fix for the single-numa-node policy, as there will be code refactoring for the 1.17 release.
- 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.
