The detectStaleConnections function in kube-proxy is very expensive in
terms of CPU utilization. The results of this function are only actually
used for UDP ports. This adds a protocol attribute to ServicePortName to
make it simple to only run this function for UDP connections. For
clusters with primarily TCP connections this can improve kube-proxy
performance by 2x.
The .IP() call that was previously used for sorting resulted in a call
to netutil to parse an IP out of an IP:Port string. This was very slow
and resulted in this sort taking up ~50% of total CPU util for
kube-proxy.
Kubelet and kube-proxy both had loops to ensure that their iptables
rules didn't get deleted, by repeatedly recreating them. But on
systems with lots of iptables rules (ie, thousands of services), this
can be very slow (and thus might end up holding the iptables lock for
several seconds, blocking other operations, etc).
The specific threat that they need to worry about is
firewall-management commands that flush *all* dynamic iptables rules.
So add a new iptables.Monitor() function that handles this by creating
iptables-flush canaries and only triggering a full rule reload after
noticing that someone has deleted those chains.
This should fix a bug that could break masters when the EndpointSlice
feature gate was enabled. This was all tied to how the apiserver creates
and manages it's own services and endpoints (or in this case endpoint
slices). Consumers of endpoint slices also need to know about the
corresponding service. Previously we were trying to set an owner
reference here for this purpose, but that came with potential downsides
and increased complexity. This commit changes behavior of the apiserver
endpointslice integration to set the service name label instead of owner
references, and simplifies consumer logic to reference that (both are
set by the EndpointSlice controller).
Additionally, this should fix a bug with the EndpointSlice GenerateName
value that had previously been set with a "." as a suffix.
Work around Linux kernel bug that sometimes causes multiple flows to
get mapped to the same IP:PORT and consequently some suffer packet
drops.
Also made the same update in kubelet.
Also added cross-pointers between the two bodies of code, in comments.
Some day we should eliminate the duplicate code. But today is not
that day.
Kube-proxy will add ipset entries for all node ips for an SCTP nodeport service. This will solve the problem 'SCTP nodeport service is not working for all IPs present in the node when ipvs is enabled. It is working only for node's InternalIP.'
