This makes a configuration with --feature-gates=AllAlpha=true valid
again. Without this change, that flag enabled DRAAdminAccess without
DynamicResourceAllocation being enabled (default off!) and the kube-apiserver
refused to start.
While DRAAdminAccess isn't usable without DynamicResourceAllocation, it's also
not really wrong to allow it - it simply won't matter.
The new DRAAdminAccess feature gate has the following effects:
- If disabled in the apiserver, the spec.devices.requests[*].adminAccess
field gets cleared. Same in the status. In both cases the scenario
that it was already set and a claim or claim template get updated
is special: in those cases, the field is not cleared.
Also, allocating a claim with admin access is allowed regardless of the
feature gate and the field is not cleared. In practice, the scheduler
will not do that.
- If disabled in the resource claim controller, creating ResourceClaims
with the field set gets rejected. This prevents running workloads
which depend on admin access.
- If disabled in the scheduler, claims with admin access don't get
allocated. The effect is the same.
The alternative would have been to ignore the fields in claim controller and
scheduler. This is bad because a monitoring workload then runs, blocking
resources that probably were meant for production workloads.
This removes the DRAControlPlaneController feature gate, the fields controlled
by it (claim.spec.controller, claim.status.deallocationRequested,
claim.status.allocation.controller, class.spec.suitableNodes), the
PodSchedulingContext type, and all code related to the feature.
The feature gets removed because there is no path towards beta and GA and DRA
with "structured parameters" should be able to replace it.
In the API, the effect of the feature gate is that alpha fields get dropped on
create. They get preserved during updates if already set. The
PodSchedulingContext registration is *not* restricted by the feature gate.
This enables deleting stale PodSchedulingContext objects after disabling
the feature gate.
The scheduler checks the new feature gate before setting up an informer for
PodSchedulingContext objects and when deciding whether it can schedule a
pod. If any claim depends on a control plane controller, the scheduler bails
out, leading to:
Status: Pending
...
Warning FailedScheduling 73s default-scheduler 0/1 nodes are available: resourceclaim depends on disabled DRAControlPlaneController feature. no new claims to deallocate, preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 Preemption is not helpful for scheduling.
The rest of the changes prepare for testing the new feature separately from
"structured parameters". The goal is to have base "dra" jobs which just enable
and test those, then "classic-dra" jobs which add DRAControlPlaneController.
Avoids starting informers or the config-consuming controller when
--enable-priority-and-fairness=false. For kube-apiserver, the config-producing controller runs if
and only if flowcontrol API storage is enabled.
