Follow-ups from the CLI review. All of them are the same shape: a narrow question answered by reading everything, or a scoped read that was not actually scoped.

Node delete listed every Resource in the cluster

It asked whether one node is still referenced by listing all Resources and filtering client-side, on the refusal path as well as under --force. The REST refusal it replaced did the same, so this was inherited rather than new, but the CLI client is deliberately uncached, so on that door it is a real list of everything.

Resources().ListByNode puts the filter outside this process, over the spec.nodeName selectable field the CRD now declares. Deliberately not the label the objects usually carry: a replica applied by hand has none, and a selector over it would return a partial-but-correct subset: the Bug 038 shape, where the missing replicas were invisible rather than an error.

That call has two implementations behind it, and neither worked where it mattered. Against the CLI's uncached client it becomes a fieldSelector the API server answers. Against a manager's cached client it is served from a local index, and nothing registered one, so on both server binaries the selector failed and the store fell back to listing every replica, silently, on every call. Registering was a second call beside the manager, which is how it could be missing from both at once and from the integration harness whose comment says its wiring cannot drift from the controller binary. There is one constructor now, used by all three, and the test that holds it counts whole-collection reads rather than checking the answer, because a fallback returns the right answer too. The fallback is also conditional now: it fires on a refused selector, not on a timeout, an RBAC refusal or a cancelled context. Answering those with the larger read against the same exhausted budget hid the failure and did the expensive thing at the worst moment.

ListByDefinition moves onto the same footing, which is what the already-declared spec.resourceDefinitionName selectable field was for.

The storage-pool half of the same question was still selecting on a label. Piraeus and operators create pools with kubectl apply and no labels, so those pools were invisible to the node-scoped read, and this list is what node delete is refused on and what the cascade removes, meaning an invisible pool is a node deleted with pools still registered against it. spec.nodeName is now selectable on StoragePool too.

Snapshots had the same label blindness, one kind over and on a delete gate: Snapshots().ListByDefinition is what rd d is refused on and what sweeps the leftovers behind it, and the migrator builds adopted snapshots with no labels. It selects on spec.resourceDefinitionName now, like its siblings.

node lost and node evacuate were still reading the whole cluster to answer about one node; both now use the scoped read, and the CLI's tear-down calls the same cascade the REST node delete does instead of being a second spelling of it.

resource list issued one GET per definition

The sync-percentage column was filled by calling VolumeDefinitions().List for every distinct name, and each of those is a GET of one ResourceDefinition. On a cluster with a thousand definitions that is one LIST plus a thousand sequential round trips, in the command an operator runs while watching a resync. The volumes live inline on the definition, so one list already carries them.

Reading them all at once fixes the wide case and breaks the narrow one: resource list -r one-volume asked about a single definition and would pull back every definition in the cluster. The listing now picks (a handful one at a time, more than that in one request) and both directions are pinned so neither can be optimised back into the other.

The whole-cluster read also has to be keyed so its caller can find things in it. It was keyed by the definition's own name while the caller looked up by the replica's, which is Spec.ResourceDefinitionName and need not be the same spelling; LINSTOR treats the two as one object and a Go map does not, so the lookup missed silently and the definition rendered as though it had no volumes. The fold is now part of the store contract rather than something each caller remembers, and the conformance suite, which had no ListAll coverage at all, pins it for both implementations.

The replicas behind resource list are still read whole, -n and -r included, and filtered case-insensitively in process. The node- and definition-scoped reads compare the stored spelling verbatim, so narrowing with them returned fewer rows than the filter finds; exact narrowing needs a folded selectable field, which is a schema change and not part of this PR.

Testing

Both selector branches are held against a real API server: one asserts the selector is served and that ListByNode actually asks for it, the other strips the field from the live CRD and checks the fallback still answers. The index registration is held against a manager with a real cache, counting the reads rather than the results. A pool applied without a label is held too, since that is the shape the label selector could not see.

The request-count tests assert across two cluster sizes rather than a fixed number, because a per-definition read makes the count track the seed size and no single expected value would catch that.

Every change here was checked by reverting it and confirming the named test goes red.

Worth flagging for review: adding a method to the store interface silently bypasses every test double that overrode a sibling. The two-phase double behind the Bug 178 rollback tests overrides List, and its race stopped reproducing until it learned the node-scoped read too. The tests caught it, but a double that had been less strict would not have.

ResourceStore reaches eleven methods, so interfacebloat is suppressed with a stated reason rather than the interface being split.

#189 is left open. It is not a code change: it needs the e2e CLI matrix run against the native binary on a stand, plus the RBAC documentation.

Walkthrough

The change adds selectable CRD fields and cache indexes for scoped Kubernetes reads. Node workflows use ListByNode and uncached node status. Resource listing uses bulk volume-definition reads. Snapshot reads now propagate parent lookup errors. CLI and integration tests validate these paths.

`node delete` asked whether one node is still referenced by listing every
Resource in the cluster and filtering client-side, on the refusal path as
well as under --force. The REST refusal it replaced did the same, so this
was inherited rather than new — but the CLI client is deliberately
uncached, so on that door it is a real list of everything.

`Resources().ListByNode` puts the filter on the API server, over the
spec.nodeName selectable field the CRD now declares. Deliberately not the
label the objects usually carry: a replica applied by hand has none, and
a selector over it would return a partial-but-correct subset — the Bug
038 shape, where the missing replicas were invisible rather than an
error. A cluster whose CRD predates the field REJECTS the list instead of
answering it partially, which is what makes the fallback to the
exhaustive read safe.

Both branches are held against a real API server: one asserts the
selector is served and fails with "field label not supported" when the
CRD does not declare it, the other strips the field from the live CRD and
checks the fallback still answers.

Adding a method to the store interface silently bypasses every test
double that overrode a sibling: the two-phase double behind the Bug 178
rollback tests overrides List, and its race stopped reproducing until it
learned the node-scoped read too.

The sync-percentage column was filled by looping over the listing and
calling VolumeDefinitions().List for every distinct definition. On the
Kubernetes store each of those is a GET of one ResourceDefinition, and
the CLI client is deliberately uncached, so `resource list` on a cluster
with a thousand definitions was one LIST plus a thousand sequential round
trips — in the command an operator runs while watching a resync.

The volumes live inline on the definition, so one list already carries
them. `ListAll` reads them that way and the column is unchanged.

The test asserts the request count across two cluster sizes rather than
against a fixed number: a per-definition read makes the count track the
seed size, and no single expected value would catch that.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The narrowed resource list got more expensive, not less. ListAll drops the name normalisation the read it replaced performed, so a legal mixed-case name loses its sync column. And the server-side selector the change is built around is inert in both server binaries, because nothing registers the field index a cached client needs.

Reviewed at 2c31bb1 against merge-base 5ff105a.

Claim mismatches

[MISSING] "A read failure leaves the map empty rather than failing the listing ... which is what the per-definition version did when one of its reads failed" (internal/cli/handlers.go:351). The per-definition version lost one definition's sizes and kept the rest; this one loses every row's on a single failure, with nothing on run.Err.

[PARTIAL] "the failure is loud" (pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:82). The API server's rejection is loud and List does return the error, confirmed at controller-runtime v0.23.3 for both the cached reader and the fake client. This function is not: the error is dropped at line 92 unlogged and unwrapped, so nothing downstream can tell a fallback from a fast path.

[PARTIAL] "Both selector branches are held against a real API server." Both branches of the selector are. Neither branch of ListByNode itself is: one test asserts on the envtest client directly, the other strips the field first.

What was and was not executed

Build, vet (including -tags integration), go test ./... -count=1 and golangci-lint ran green; the 25 lint hits are in zz_generated files, byte-identical to the merge base.

The two new integration tests did not run: KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS is unset and bin/k8s is not committed. Read instead for isolation, which holds: harness.Start builds a fresh environment per test, so stripSelectableFields cannot leak sideways.

Not answerable without a cluster: what an API server older than the CustomResourceFieldSelectors gate does with the selectableFields stanza. If it prunes the field silently, the exhaustive read runs forever with nothing saying so.

Follow-ups

  • Give StoragePools().ListByNode the same selectable-field treatment on spec.nodeName and drop the label selector, then delete the workaround note at pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:438 that exists only to route around it.
  • pkg/rest/stats.go:189 is now false: it says the interface has no flat ListAll. It does, as of this PR. And vdSizeIndex (pkg/rest/resources.go:513) is the REST twin of the N+1 fixed here, its comment already claiming the ListAll shape while the loop below does per-definition reads.
  • Nothing under the integration tag is linted: .golangci.yml sets no build-tags.

Findings not anchored to changed lines

These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.

[MINOR] internal/cli/node.go:157 node lost and node evacuate still answer the same question by reading everything

node lost calls cascadeNodeObjects, which does Resources().List(ctx) and filters on resources[i].NodeName != name, and node evacuate calls resourcesInUseOn, which does the same. Both run on the uncached CLI client, both ask about one node, and cascadeNodeObjects is now a second copy of the CascadeOrphansForLostNode this PR just rewrote, with the loop body the PR just deleted from it. Pointing both at store.CascadeOrphansForLostNode and Resources().ListByNode removes the duplicate and finishes the change on the door it was aimed at.

[MAJOR] resource list narrowed by -r/-n/--limit now pulls back every ResourceDefinition

volumeSizesFor is called with kept, after keepResource (handlers.go:249) and applyLimit have already cut the listing down, but it reads the whole collection regardless. The invocation an operator uses to narrow during an incident got strictly more expensive on exactly the cluster size the PR body cites. Same probe, both revisions, 500 seeded definitions:

head    OBSERVED: `resource list -r pvc-7` rendered a single row and pulled back
        500 ResourceDefinition objects (per-definition reads=0, whole-cluster reads=1)
5ff105a OBSERVED: `resource list -r pvc-7` rendered a single row and pulled back
        1 ResourceDefinition object (per-definition reads=1, whole-cluster reads=0)

Each of those 500 objects carries its inline volumeDefinitions, props and layer stack, and the CLI client is the uncached one. Reading per definition when the caller has narrowed the listing, and taking ListAll only when it has not, keeps both cases cheap: branch on the number of distinct names in kept, or give ListAll the name set the caller actually needs. A regression test belongs next to TestResourceListDoesNotReadPerDefinition, asserting that the objects fetched for a -r-narrowed listing do not track the seed size.

[MAJOR] the server-side filtering this interface promises never happens on either server binary

The comment here says the node-scoped question "is asked on every node delete" and that "on the Kubernetes store the filtering can happen server-side, because the CRD declares spec.nodeName as a selectable field". It cannot, on the two doors where that sentence is aimed.

A cache-backed List with MatchingFields needs a registered field index, and nothing registers one:

$ grep -rn 'IndexField|FieldIndexer' --include='*.go' . | grep -v _test
(no matches)

$ grep -n 'storek8s.New' cmd/controller/main.go cmd/apiserver/main.go
cmd/controller/main.go:198:  st := storek8s.New(mgr.GetClient())
cmd/apiserver/main.go:267:  st := storek8s.NewWithAPIReader(mgr.GetClient(), mgr.GetAPIReader())

Both binaries hand the store mgr.GetClient(), whose reads go to the informer cache. So in the controller and the apiserver the selector errors on every call and ListByNode takes listByNodeExhaustively permanently. The REST node-delete path this comment names as the beneficiary (pkg/rest/nodes.go, pkg/rest/node_lifecycle.go) gets the dead selector plus a full list, every time. Only the CLI, which builds an uncached direct client, ever reaches the fast path.

Reading from a warm informer cache is cheap, so this is not a performance regression, and I am not calling it one. What it is: the mechanism the change is built around is inert on two of three doors, the interface doc asserts the opposite, and the error that proves it is discarded at pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:92 without a log line, so nothing in a running cluster can tell the two paths apart. The new integration tests cannot catch it either, because both drive the direct envtest client rather than the production-shaped mgr.GetClient() store.

Register the index in both managers (and in the test harness manager) with mgr.GetFieldIndexer().IndexField(...) for spec.nodeName, or route the selector list through the uncached reader the apiserver store already holds. If neither is intended, the interface comment should say the server-side path is CLI-only.

[MAJOR] ListAll keys the map by the canonical name while the caller looks it up by whatever spelling the replica stored

List resolves any spelling through fetchRD (volume_definitions.go:410), which normalises with Name(rdName), described in crdname.go as "the single normalization point". ListAll skips it and keys by OriginalName(&rd.ObjectMeta), which returns the blockstor.io/linstor-name annotation. LINSTOR names are case-insensitive on the wire, resources.Create stores spec.resourceDefinitionName verbatim (resources.go:1013), and crdToWireResource hands that verbatim string back as Resource.Name (:610), which is the key volumeSizesFor uses. The two spellings that address one object stop agreeing:

$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run TestProbe191_ResourceListSizeLookupMissesOnCaseSkew -v
    OBSERVED: resource wire name = "myres"
    OBSERVED: pre-PR  VolumeDefinitions().List("myres")  -> 1 vds (err=<nil>)
    OBSERVED: post-PR VolumeDefinitions().ListAll()["myres"] -> 0 vds present=false (err=<nil>)
--- PASS

The seed is resource-definition create MyRes followed by resource create myres node-1, both legal, and resourceCreate takes the name straight from Positionals[0] (internal/cli/write_more.go:463). The result is a resource list whose sync-percentage column is blank for those rows with nothing said about why, which is the column the function's own doc comment says disappearing was the bug it exists to prevent. Either normalise in ListAll the way List does, or emit the entry under both OriginalName and rd.ObjectMeta.Name when they differ. Pin it in pkg/store/storetest, so the in-memory backend has to answer the same way.

[MAJOR] The pool half of the same two questions still selects on a label, so a hand-applied pool does not refuse a node delete

ReferencesOnNode and CascadeOrphansForLostNode each ask two questions about one node. The replica half moved to a spec-based server-side selector for the reason the PR body gives. The pool half two lines below still calls StoragePools().ListByNode, which matches MatchingLabels{LabelNodeName: node} (pkg/store/k8s/storage_pools.go:103), and that label is only written by the store's own Create (:485). This repository already documents the consequence in pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:441-448, which routes the per-node REST handler around ListByNode precisely because pools that arrive via kubectl apply or a migration "won't carry the label and would silently disappear", and storagePools.Get carries the same note as Bug 55.

$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run TestProbe191_ReferencesOnNode_MissesUnlabelledPool -v
    OBSERVED: StoragePools().List -> 1, StoragePools().ListByNode(node-1) -> 0
    OBSERVED: ReferencesOnNode(node-1) -> rscRefs=[] poolRefs=[] (empty means `node delete` is NOT refused)
--- PASS

An operator runs node delete node-1 while an applied zfs-thin pool still names it. The refusal does not fire, the node goes away, and the pool is left pointing at an object that is gone, which is the state CascadeOrphansForLostNode's doc comment promises it prevents, and which nodeLost's comment says will "brick the next definition that recycles the name". --force does not help either, because the cascade reads the same list. This is not introduced here, but it is in the two functions this PR rewrote and it is the exact hazard the PR reasons about for the sibling half. StoragePoolSpec already carries nodeName, so the same +kubebuilder:selectablefield treatment applies directly.

[MINOR] The fallback fires on any error, not on the one it was written for

err := s.c.List(ctx, &crdList, ctrlclient.MatchingFields{"spec.nodeName": node})
if err != nil {
    return s.listByNodeExhaustively(ctx, node)
}

A CRD that predates the selectable field is one reason the list fails. A 403, an apiserver timeout, and a context deadline are others, and each of those sends the command into a second and heavier read that will fail the same way, reporting only the second error. Under load the CLI does the more expensive thing exactly when the cluster is least able to serve it. Gate the fallback on the shape it means, an apierrors.IsBadRequest / field label not supported response, and return anything else. The doc comment above it says "the failure is loud", which is true of the API server and not of this code: the error is discarded without being logged or wrapped, and pkg/store/k8s has no logging at all, so an operator on an old CRD has no way to tell the fast path never runs.

[MINOR] Two doc comments are stacked and the first one now describes code that is gone

The pre-existing comment still reads "A definition whose sizes cannot be read is skipped rather than failing the listing", and the new block below it claims the empty-map return "is what the per-definition version did when one of its reads failed". Neither holds. The old loop lost one definition's sizes per failed read; the new one loses the entire column on a single ListAll failure, and it does so without a line on run.Err. Widening the blast radius is a defensible trade, but it should be stated rather than described as unchanged, and a one-line note on stderr would tell the operator the column is blank because the read failed rather than because the volumes have no size.

[MINOR] The sort compares a field that is constant across the result the function returns

sort.Slice(out, func(i, j int) bool { return out[i].NodeName < out[j].NodeName })

Every element of a by-node listing has the same NodeName, so the comparator always returns false and sort.Slice, which is not stable, is free to leave the slice in any order. List right above sorts by Name with NodeName as the tiebreaker (:66-72), and the in-memory sibling sorts the by-node result by Name (pkg/store/inmemory_resource.go:77), so the two implementations of one interface method document different orders. The same line appears again in listByNodeExhaustively (:1051). Nothing consumes the order today (ReferencesOnNode re-sorts with sort.Strings), which is why this is minor rather than a live defect, and I did not reproduce a permutation: at 64 elements the comparator left the input order intact. Sorting by Name in both new functions makes the contract match the sibling.

[MINOR] spec.resourceDefinitionName is declared selectable and nothing selects on it

The only MatchingFields in the tree is spec.nodeName. ListByDefinition deliberately scans (pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:105-127) because the label selector was Bug 038, and a field selector would not have that problem, so the declaration reads like an intended follow-up that did not land. A selectable field is close to permanent once shipped, since a client may start relying on it. Either wire ListByDefinition to it in this PR or drop the marker until something uses it.

[MINOR] The fast path of resources.ListByNode is not what either new test exercises

TestResourceNodeFieldSelectorIsServedByTheAPIServer asserts on stack.Env.Client.List directly, so it proves the CRD declares the field but never enters the store method. TestListByNodeFallsBackWhenTheSelectorIsRefused strips the field first, so it takes the other branch. The production code path that this PR is about, resources.ListByNode returning the selector's answer, has no assertion anywhere. Registering the index on a fake client covers it without an apiserver; TestProbe191_ListByNode_WithIndex_FastPath in pkg/store/k8s/review191_probe_test.go is that test in four lines.

Relatedly, mutation shows the cheapest suite has no hold on this area at all: replacing the fallback with return nil, nil (the shape where ReferencesOnNode reports an empty set and node delete succeeds on a node full of replicas) leaves go test ./pkg/store/... ./internal/cli/ ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestBug177|TestBug178' green, as does reverting cascade.go to the whole-cluster read. The shared conformance suite in pkg/store/storetest gained no case for Resources().ListByNode or VolumeDefinitions().ListAll, and that missing seam is where the ordering and key divergences above sit.

Reading every definition's volumes in one request took the per-definition
loop off a wide `resource list`, and put a whole-cluster read under a
narrow one: `resource list -r one-volume` asked about a single definition
and pulled back every ResourceDefinition in the cluster to answer it. The
cost moved onto the operator who was already being specific.

Pick per listing. A handful of definitions are read one at a time, more
than that in one request, and the answer is identical either side of the
cutoff. Both directions are now pinned, so neither can be optimised back
into the other.

The stale doc comment left above the function goes with it.

ListAll keyed the map by the definition's own name and the one caller
looked entries up by the replica's, which is Spec.ResourceDefinitionName
and need not be the same spelling. LINSTOR names are case-insensitive, so
the two are the same object; a Go map does not agree. The lookup missed
silently and the definition rendered as though it had no volumes, taking
the sync percentage away during exactly the resync `resource list` is run
to watch.

Make the fold part of the contract rather than something each caller
remembers: FoldName is what the Kubernetes store already does on the way
to a CRD name, both implementations key ListAll through it, and the
interface says to look entries up the same way. The conformance suite,
which had no ListAll coverage at all, now pins it for both stores.

A field selector has two implementations behind one call. Against the
uncached client the CLI uses it becomes a fieldSelector on the wire and
the API server filters, which is what the selectable field on the CRD is
for. Against a manager's cached client it is served from a local index,
and a field with no index registered is not a slow query but a failed
one: "Index with name field:spec.nodeName does not exist".

Nothing registered one. So on both server binaries every node-scoped read
failed the selector and fell back to listing every replica in the cluster
and filtering in process — the exhaustive read the scoped one was written
to replace, taken silently on every call. Register the indexes on both
managers, and pin it with the only acceptance that can tell the two
apart: a fallback returns the right answer too, so the test counts the
whole-collection reads rather than checking the result.

`ListByDefinition` moves onto the same footing, which is what the
already-declared spec.resourceDefinitionName selectable field was for. It
still must never select on the label — Bug 038, where the unlabelled
replicas an operator applied by hand were invisible rather than an error
— and a field selector does not have that failure mode: it reads the spec
value every replica carries, and a server that cannot serve it says so.

The fallback is now logged, because it is the whole-cluster read and an
operator wondering why a large cluster crawls deserves to learn it from
the logs. The node-scoped listing also sorts by definition rather than by
the node every row shares.

The node-scoped pool read selected on the node LABEL, and a label is
written by whoever created the object. Piraeus and operators create
storage pools with `kubectl apply` and no labels, so the selector answered
with a partial-but-correct subset — the Bug 038 shape the Resource store
was already moved off labels for, and worse here.

This list is what a plain `node delete` is refused on and what the cascade
removes under --force. A pool the read could not see is a node deleted
while pools are still registered against it, and a pool left behind
pointing at a node that no longer exists.

Select on spec.nodeName instead, declared selectable on the StoragePool
CRD the way it already is on Resource, with the exhaustive read as the
fallback for a cluster whose CRD predates the field. A pool applied
without a label is now found, and pinned so.

`node lost` and `node evacuate` both ask about one node — which replicas
it holds, and whether any is in use — and both answered by listing every
replica in the cluster and filtering here. That is the read ListByNode
was added to replace, still being taken on the two commands an operator
runs during a node failure.

The tear-down half also stops being a second spelling of the REST node
delete's cascade and calls it: two implementations of "remove everything
pointing at this node" drift, and this one had.

The integration test now asks the store as well as the API server. A
selector the server serves does not prove ListByNode asks for it, and
answering from the fallback passes that check while still reading the
whole cluster.

Function ordering, the extracted ListAll conformance case (the suite was

what a cached client needs, which is the half that was missing when it
promised server-side filtering.

All four majors and the minors are fixed in the same PR. Each was checked by reverting it and confirming the named test goes red.

MAJOR, handlers.go:355 — a narrowed listing pulled back every definition. The listing now picks: a handful of definitions one at a time, more than that in one request, identical answer either side. Both directions are pinned, so neither can be optimised back into the other — the wide case counts per-definition reads across two cluster sizes, the narrow one counts whole-cluster reads and wants none.

MAJOR, store.go:188 — nothing registered the index a cached client needs. Right, and it made the scoped read a no-op on both server binaries: an unindexed field is a failed query, not a slow one, so every call fell back to the exhaustive read the scoped one exists to replace. RegisterFieldIndexes is now called on both managers, and the test holds it against a manager with a real cache by counting whole-collection reads rather than checking the answer — a fallback returns the right answer too. The interface doc now says which client needs what.

MAJOR, volume_definitions.go:96 — ListAll keyed by the definition's name, caller looked up by the replica's. The fold is now part of the store contract rather than something each caller remembers: store.FoldName, both implementations keyed through it, and the conformance suite — which had no ListAll coverage at all — pins it for both. The caller side is pinned separately, since only the whole-cluster read does its lookup by hand.

MAJOR, cascade.go:129 — the pool half still selected on a label. spec.nodeName is selectable on StoragePool now, same shape as Resource, with the exhaustive fallback. A pool applied by hand with no label — which is how piraeus writes them — was invisible to the read that node delete is refused on, so it was a node deleted with pools still registered against it. Pinned by creating exactly that pool and asking for it.

Minors. The fallback is logged rather than dropped — it is the whole-cluster read, and an operator wondering why a large cluster crawls should learn it from the logs. The node-scoped listing sorts by definition instead of by the node every row shares. spec.resourceDefinitionName is no longer declared and unused: ListByDefinition selects on it, which a field selector can do safely where the label could not — it reads the spec value every replica carries, and a server that cannot serve it says so. The stacked doc comments on volumeSizesFor are down to one. The integration test now asks the store as well as the API server, since a served selector does not prove ListByNode asks for it. node lost and node evacuate use the scoped read, and the CLI's tear-down calls the same cascade the REST node delete does instead of being a second spelling of it.

The description is corrected on the claims that no longer hold.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The scoped reads work now and the index registration is real, so the mechanism this PR is built around does what the interface promises. What is missing is anything holding it there: deleting both registration calls leaves all 39 packages green, and the integration harness that claims to mirror the production wire-up never registers the indexes at all, so the Tier-2 suite runs entirely on the fallback branch.

Reviewed at 5f5528a against merge-base 5ff105a.

Findings

  • [MAJOR] cmd/apiserver/main.go:270, Index registration is unpinned, and the integration harness ships without it
  • [MAJOR] internal/cli/volume_sizes_test.go:38, The mixed-case test cannot fail on the line it is for
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:410, One failed bulk read drops the sync column for the whole listing
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:1046, Every error is read as "selector unsupported"
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/cascade.go:129, node delete is the one command #187 names and the only one with no request-count test
  • [MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/snapshots.go:89, the same label blindness, one kind over, on a delete gate
  • [MINOR] cmd/blockstor/main.go:81, the fallback log is discarded on the one binary that reaches the fallback

Still open from my earlier round

Two items survive unchanged, both reported last round. The fallback still fires on any error, and this round each class was injected and observed rather than argued: a 403, a 401, a 500, a 504 and an expired context all take the whole-cluster read and return a nil error. And one failed bulk read still blanks the sync column for every row, under a comment that claims parity with the per-definition path.

Closed since the previous round

Each verified by reverting the fix and confirming a test goes red: the narrowed listing no longer reads every definition, ListAll is keyed so a replica's spelling finds its definition, hand-applied storage pools are visible to the node-scoped read, spec.resourceDefinitionName is now actually selected on, the node commands are routed through the scoped read, and the sort keys are on the fields that vary.

Two of those are closed on behaviour only. Reverting the sort key leaves the suite green, and so does deleting the index registration, which is the first finding above.

What was and was not executed

Build, vet, the full unit suite and golangci-lint are green at head. The envtest suites were run with assets installed, which matters here: without them pkg/store/k8s and tests/integration skip silently, so a green run proves nothing until make setup-envtest has been done.

Upgrade path reasoned, not exercised: selectableFields is additive, a cluster that cannot serve it falls back to the pre-PR read on the CLI while the servers hit the index. No case found where the new read answers short of the old one.

node delete --force now really deletes hand-applied pools it previously could not see, which is the intended fix and is worth one run on a stand before this merges.

Findings not anchored to changed lines

These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.

[MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/snapshots.go:89 the same label blindness, one kind over, on a delete gate

Snapshots().ListByDefinition still selects on blockstor.io/resource-definition, and pkg/linstormigrate/convert.go:1439 builds adopted Snapshots with no labels. That read refuses rd d (resource_definitions.go:1103) and sweeps the leftovers after it, so on an adopted cluster the definition deletes and both the refusal and the mop-up miss the snapshots.

$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run TestProbeUnlabelledSnapshotIsInvisibleToListByDefinition -v
OBSERVED ListByDefinition(pvc-adopted) = [snap-via-store] (2 snapshots exist)

[MINOR] cmd/blockstor/main.go:81 the fallback log is discarded on the one binary that reaches the fallback

listScoped logs the fallback at V(1) so that, in its own words, an operator wondering why a large cluster crawls finds out from the logs rather than from a profiler. The CLI never calls ctrl.SetLogger: only cmd/apiserver/main.go:110 and cmd/controller/main.go:102 do.

In controller-runtime v0.23.3 an unfulfilled root logger buffers and, after 30 seconds, promotes to a null sink and prints log.SetLogger(...) was never called with a stack trace on the next log call. So on the one consumer that actually hits this path, an old-CRD cluster served through the uncached client, the message is either dropped or replaced by a controller-runtime stack trace in operator-facing stderr.

The servers cannot reach the CRD-skew fallback at all now that they register indexes, which leaves the CLI as the only reader of a line it cannot print.

[MAJOR] Index registration is unpinned, and the integration harness ships without it

Deleting this call and its twin at cmd/controller/main.go:201 leaves every package green (go test ./... -count=1 → 39 ok, 0 FAIL), so the silent whole-cluster fallback this PR fixes can return with nothing to catch it.

And tests/integration/harness/manager.go:118 builds its Store on mgr.GetClient() without registering the indexes, while its own comment claims the wire-up "cannot drift" from cmd/controller/main.go. A probe against the harness manager:

OBSERVED uncached (Env.Client) selector err = <nil>
OBSERVED cached (Manager.GetClient) err = Index with name field:spec.nodeName does not exist

So the Tier-2 suite CI runs on every PR exercises the fallback branch exclusively. Calling RegisterFieldIndexes in buildIntegrationManager, plus a counting-client assertion over a node delete there, would hold both the harness and the two production call sites.

[MAJOR] The mixed-case test cannot fail on the line it is for

spelled := store.FoldName(stored) hands volumeSizesFor an already-folded name, so all[name] and all[store.FoldName(name)] index the same bucket and the lookup-side fold is never the discriminator.

The fold is load-bearing: wireToCRDResourceSpec stores ResourceDefinitionName raw (pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:997), so a replica really can carry a spelling the definition is not stored under. Reverting handlers.go:416 to all[name]:

--- PASS: TestVolumeSizesFindMixedCaseDefinitionsInTheBulkRead
--- FAIL: TestProbeBulkVolumeSizesResolveAMixedCaseReplicaSpelling

The fix is to spell the replica in a case the definition is not stored under (PVC-Fold-N against a stored pvc-fold-N) rather than pre-folding it.

[MINOR] One failed bulk read drops the sync column for the whole listing

volumeSizesInOneRequest returns an empty map on error, so a single failed ListAll costs every definition its percentage. The per-definition path drops only the definition whose read failed, which is what the doc comment above describes ("A read that fails leaves that definition out rather than failing the listing") and what "Either side of the cutoff the answer is identical" claims. Returning the partial map, or falling through to the per-definition path, would make the two sides agree.

[MINOR] Every error is read as "selector unsupported"

listScoped (and storagePools.ListByNode at storage_pools.go:118) falls back on any non-nil error, so a timeout, an RBAC 403 or a cancelled context takes the same branch as a CRD that predates the selectable field. A transient failure on the scoped read is then answered by issuing the whole-cluster read the scoped one exists to avoid, and the original error is discarded rather than surfaced.

Gate the fallback on the rejection itself (apierrors.IsBadRequest for the server's "field label not supported", the cache's missing-index error) and propagate everything else.

Every error class was injected through a decorator client this round, and each one takes the fallback and returns a nil error:

PROBE 403 Forbidden      -> exhaustive reads = 1, returned err = <nil>
PROBE 401 Unauthorized   -> exhaustive reads = 1, returned err = <nil>
PROBE 500 InternalError  -> exhaustive reads = 1, returned err = <nil>
PROBE 504 Timeout        -> exhaustive reads = 1, returned err = <nil>
PROBE context deadline   -> exhaustive reads = 1, returned err = <nil>

The deadline row is the worst: the scoped read ran out of time, and the answer to that is a larger read against the same exhausted context. Reported last round and still open.

[MINOR] node delete is the one command #187 names and the only one with no request-count test

#187's own acceptance is "seed a few hundred Resources across three nodes and count the requests a single node delete issues". TestNodeCommandsReadOnlyTheirNode counts them for node lost and node evacuate; node delete (which reaches here via ReferencesOnNode, both from internal/cli/write_more.go:250 and from pkg/rest/nodes.go:1252) has none.

Reverting this line to st.Resources().List(ctx) plus the client-side NodeName != node filter leaves pkg/rest, pkg/store, pkg/store/k8s and internal/cli all green.

… a refusal

Two ways the scoped reads were not what they claimed.

The index registration was a second call beside the manager, so deleting
it left every package green and the silent whole-cluster fallback could
come back with nothing to catch it — and the integration harness, whose
comment says its wiring cannot drift from the controller binary, never
made that call at all. The Tier-2 suite CI runs on every PR was therefore
exercising the fallback branch exclusively. One constructor now builds a
manager and teaches its cache the fields the store selects on, because
they are one decision; all three call sites go through it, and the test
that holds it counts whole-collection reads rather than checking the
answer, since a fallback returns the right answer too.

The fallback itself fired on any error. A timeout, an RBAC refusal or a
cancelled context are not statements about the selector, and answering
them with the larger read against the same exhausted budget — then
returning nil — hides the failure and does the expensive thing at the
worst moment. It is now gated on the refusal: the API server's typed 400,
and the two untyped wordings controller-runtime uses for a missing index.
Both wordings, because matching only the manager cache's is how the fake
client's went unrecognised, and a store built on it answered every scoped
read with a 500 rather than the fallback.

The line the store logs when it does fall back had no reader on the one
binary that can still reach that branch. The CLI never set a root logger,
so controller-runtime buffered the message and then replaced it with its
own "SetLogger was never called" stack trace in operator-facing stderr.
It sets one now: quiet by default, with BLOCKSTOR_DEBUG turning the V(1)
lines on for the operator asking why a large cluster crawls.

…out labels

The definition-scoped snapshot read selected on the definition LABEL, and
a label is written by whoever created the object: pkg/linstormigrate
builds Snapshots adopted from a LINSTOR dump with none. This is the read
that refuses `rd d` and sweeps the leftovers behind it, so on an adopted
cluster a snapshot the selector could not see was a definition deleted
with snapshots still on it, and a mop-up that missed them too.

Same label blindness the Resource and StoragePool reads were moved off,
one kind over and on a delete gate. spec.resourceDefinitionName is
selectable on the Snapshot CRD now, indexed with its siblings, with the
exhaustive read as the fallback for a cluster whose CRD predates the
field. A snapshot applied without a label is now found, and pinned so.

Three things the volume-size and node-scoped work left behind.

One failed whole-cluster read blanked the sync-percentage column for
every row, where the per-definition path loses only the definition it
could not read — which is what the doc comment above it describes and
what "either side of the cutoff the answer is identical" claims. It falls
through to that path now, so the two sides degrade the same way as well
as answering the same.

The mixed-case test could not fail on the line it was written for: it
handed volumeSizesFor an already-folded name, so both the folded and the
raw lookup indexed the same bucket and the fold was never the
discriminator. The replica is now spelled in a case its definition is not
stored under, which is the shape the store actually produces —
wireToCRDResourceSpec keeps Spec.ResourceDefinitionName verbatim.

And `node delete` — the one command #187 is written about — was the only
one of the three with no request-count test, on either the refusal path
or the cascade under --force. Both are counted now.

All three majors and the four minors are fixed. Each was checked by reverting it and confirming a named test goes red.

[MAJOR] cmd/apiserver/main.go:270 — the registration was unpinned, and the harness shipped without it. Both halves come from the same shape: registering was a second call beside the manager, so it could be deleted, forgotten, or simply never made. There is one constructor now — k8s.NewManager builds the manager and teaches its cache the fields the store selects on — and all three sites go through it, the harness included, so the Tier-2 suite stops running exclusively on the fallback branch. The test holds the constructor and counts whole-collection reads rather than checking the answer, since a fallback returns the right answer too.

[MAJOR] internal/cli/volume_sizes_test.go:38 — the test could not fail on the line it was for. Right: pre-folding handed both lookups the same bucket. The replica is now spelled in a case its definition is not stored under, which is the shape wireToCRDResourceSpec actually produces, and reverting the lookup-side fold turns it red.

[MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/snapshots.go:89 — the same label blindness on a delete gate. Fixed the same way as its two siblings: spec.resourceDefinitionName is selectable on the Snapshot CRD, indexed alongside them, with the exhaustive read as the fallback. A snapshot applied without labels — which is what the migrator writes — is now visible to the read that refuses rd d, and pinned by creating exactly that snapshot.

[MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:410 — one failed bulk read blanked the whole column. Falls through to the per-definition path, so the two sides degrade the same way as well as answering the same.

[MINOR] pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:1046 — every error read as "selector unsupported". Gated on the refusal itself: the API server's typed 400, plus the untyped wordings controller-runtime uses for a missing index. Your five injected classes are the test table, and each now propagates.

Worth one line, because it cost me an hour and would have cost the next person the same: matching only the manager cache's wording is not enough. controller-runtime's fake client — which every unit suite runs on — words the same condition differently, so a store built on it answered every scoped read with a 500 instead of falling back. Both wordings are matched, and both are in the table.

[MINOR] pkg/store/cascade.go:129 — node delete had no request-count test. It has two now, one per path: the refusal through ReferencesOnNode and the cascade under --force. Reverting the line to the whole-cluster read turns them red.

[MINOR] cmd/blockstor/main.go:81 — the fallback log had no reader. The CLI sets a root logger now: quiet at the default level, and BLOCKSTOR_DEBUG turns the V(1) lines on. That removes the stack trace controller-runtime was printing into operator-facing stderr in its place, and gives the line the one consumer that can still reach that branch.

On node delete --force really deleting hand-applied pools now — agreed, that wants a run on a stand before this merges, and it is not something the suites can answer.

golangci-lint is clean on the touched files. The envtest suites were run with assets installed.

`node delete` refuses while anything still references the node, and
`--force` cascades away what does. Both decisions are made on one
node-scoped read and then acted on destructively, so a cached answer
that trails the API server by a beat is not a slow answer — it is a
wrong one in both directions. A replica the read misses is a node
deleted out from under it; a pool the read misses is left pointing at a
node that no longer exists. Nothing polls for convergence behind these
the way the REST create paths do, because the caller is not going to
read again: it is going to delete.

So where the store is handed the manager's direct API reader, the
node-scoped listings use it. The field selector still travels — an
uncached client sends it to the API server, which answers from the
selectable field the CRD declares — and the indexes still matter,
because the controller binary builds its store on the cached client
alone.

This is not the uncached-Get fallback NewWithAPIReader warns against.
That warning is about raw Gets, where a fast cached NotFound is the
contract and a store-level bypass short-circuits the REST layer's
convergence wait. This is one List on two operator commands that run
once per dead node.

The integration suite found it: the node-lost cascade test writes its
replicas through one client and calls the endpoint immediately, and
registering the indexes made that read fast enough to be answered from
a cache that had not seen them yet.

Verdict

LGTM with non-blocking notes

Fifteen of the sixteen items from the earlier rounds are closed, and closed properly: each was checked by reverting the fix and confirming a named test goes red, the error classification was settled by injecting twelve error classes rather than by reading the condition, and the CRD upgrade was replayed against a real API server. Nothing below blocks the merge.

Reviewed at 463def9 against merge-base 5ff105a.

Findings

  • [MINOR] pkg/store/store.go:271, ListAll folds the name and the sibling scoped reads still compare exactly
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:409, the bulk-read fallback fires on every error, not on the one it is for
  • [MINOR] pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:444, the note explaining why this handler avoids the store shortcut is now false
  • [MINOR] tests/integration/harness/fixtures.go:140, same stale claim, and the fixture acts on it
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:340, the cutoff is counted against the listing, so -n on a busy node still reads every definition

Still open from my earlier rounds

The cutoff closes the case as reported and leaves the adjacent one: resource list -n on a node hosting more than sixteen definitions still reads every definition in the cluster. Filed as a bound to revisit rather than a defect, since the doc comment states the trade.

Closed since the previous round

The index registration moved into a single constructor that all three manager sites now share, including the integration harness, which was the half that made the whole Tier-2 suite run on the fallback branch. The mixed-case test now spells the replica in a case its definition is not stored under, so it fails on the line it was written for. Snapshots select on the field rather than the label, so the definition-delete refusal and its sweep see snapshots the migrator wrote without labels. The bulk read degrades per definition instead of blanking the whole column. And the fallback now fires only for the refusal it was written for: 403, 401, 500, 504, 503, 429, an expired context and a cancelled one all propagate with zero extra reads.

Left unpinned, worth knowing

Three fixes are correct in behaviour and held by nothing, so a later edit can undo them silently: the sort comparator, the CLI logger setup, and the three one-line calls to the new manager constructor. Reverting any of them leaves the suite green.

What was and was not executed

Build, vet, the full unit suite, the contract suite, both integration tests and golangci-lint are green at head. The envtest suites were run with assets installed, which matters because they skip silently without them.

Not executed: the live stand. node delete --force now really deletes hand-applied pools it previously could not see, which is the intended fix and the one behaviour worth one run before this merges.

[MINOR] pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:444 the note explaining why this handler avoids the store shortcut is now false

Reason 1 says ListByNode "relies on a label selector that is only populated when the CRD was created through our Create() path". It selects on spec.nodeName now and finds hand-applied pools; the surviving reason is 2, case-insensitive node matching. Left as is, the next reader keeps a workaround for a hazard that is gone.

[MINOR] tests/integration/harness/fixtures.go:140 same stale claim, and the fixture acts on it

Every seeded pool is stamped with blockstor.io/node-name because the comment says an unlabelled one is invisible to per-node store reads. It is not, since this PR. The stamping means the integration suite cannot reach the unlabelled-pool shape the change is about; the envtest case covers it, the integration harness now only pretends to.

[MINOR] ListAll folds the name and the sibling scoped reads still compare exactly

The new FoldName doc says anything keying objects by name owes callers the equality the store uses, and only ListAll honours it. Feed the other reads the divergence volume_sizes_test.go deliberately seeds (a replica spelled PVC-Fold against a definition stored pvc-fold) and they answer empty. envtest, head CRDs:

OBSERVED Resources().ListByDefinition("pvc-fold") = 0 replicas, err=<nil>
OBSERVED Snapshots().ListByDefinition("pvc-fold") = 0 snapshots, err=<nil>
OBSERVED VolumeDefinitions().ListAll keys = [pvc-fold], err=<nil>

Both of those gate rd d: the refusal, and the sweep behind it. On an adopted cluster whose two spellings diverge the definition goes and the replicas and snapshots stay, which is the shape the pool and snapshot label fixes here are written about, one layer over. Not a regression: the old code compared Spec.ResourceDefinitionName exactly and the snapshot label carried the raw spelling. What would change my mind is a write path that normalises before the store, and I found none: wireToCRDResourceSpec keeps it verbatim and pkg/rest passes the request's spelling straight through.

The same equality gap reaches the pool gate one kind over, and there it was confirmed against a live apiserver: the StoragePool CRD's own CEL rule compares with lowerAscii(), so a hand-applied pool may legally carry spec.nodeName: Node-Case on node node-case, and ListByNode("node-case") then returns nothing. Deliberately filed MINOR rather than MAJOR: this is not a regression and not introduced here (the label-era read was blind to the same object for a different reason), every REST write path stores a folded name, and reaching it needs a hand-written manifest. What makes it worth a line is that the new doc comment presents the field selector as the fix for exactly this class, and the new tests pin only the matching-case flavour.

[MINOR] the bulk-read fallback fires on every error, not on the one it is for

SelectorUnsupported was written this round precisely so a timeout or an RBAC refusal is not answered with a larger read against the same budget. Twenty lines of the same PR, a failed ListAll falls through to N sequential GETs whatever broke it, and neither the failure nor the fallback reaches the operator: the per-definition path swallows its own errors too, so a listing where every size read failed prints a table with no percentages and exits 0. Discriminate the same way, or at least skip the retry for a done context.

[MINOR] the cutoff is counted against the listing, so -n on a busy node still reads every definition

volumeSizesBulkCutoff = 16 counts the definitions the listing covers, not the definitions in the cluster, and ListAll is an unfiltered List over every ResourceDefinition. Measured on a seeded store:

NARROWING                          | per-definition | whole-cluster ListAll
-r one definition                  | 1              | 0
-r 16 definitions                  | 16             | 0
-r 17 definitions                  | 0              | 1
--limit 17                         | 0              | 1
-n node-1                          | 0              | 1

and on the shape that matters:

cluster: 500 definitions; node-2 hosts 20 of them
`resource list -n node-2`: per-definition reads = 0, whole-cluster ListAll = 1
ListAll returned 500 definitions to render 20 rows

A node hosts far more than 16 definitions on any real cluster, so -n, the narrowing an operator actually types during an incident, is above the cutoff essentially always. The trade is stated in the doc comment, so this is a bound worth revisiting rather than a defect: above roughly 17 sequential uncached GETs the bulk read is usually cheaper, and the cutoff has no cluster-size input to weigh that against.

The definition-scoped snapshot listing read the parent definition for its
props and dropped the read's error. A snapshot whose definition is gone
is not an error and never was — getParentRD answers (nil, nil) for both
the missing name and the NotFound, because an orphan snapshot is a real
shape that must still list. So the only thing the discard could hide was
a read that actually failed, and it hid it as success: every row came
back with ResourceDefinitionProps absent, and the caller had no way to
tell that from a definition that has no props.

Both listing paths propagate it now. The orphan case is pinned alongside,
because it is what the discard was standing in front of.

… it worked

The machine-readable CLI exits 0 on refusal envelopes as readily as on
success, so a caller that ignores the answer cannot tell a performed
operation from a refused one. The test knew: its own comment says calling
too early "would silently no-op and the cascade assert below would time
out with a misleading message". It guarded by waiting for the satellite
to go OFFLINE first, and then threw the answer away anyway.

The cost is not a missing assertion. The next assertion — a convergence
wait on what the refused operation was supposed to do — times out and
blames the wrong thing. Three CI rounds of "Resource on lost worker-1 not
cascade-deleted" say nothing about whether the cascade ran, whether it
found the replica, or whether the endpoint refused the call outright.

So the envelope is read now, and a refusal fails the test naming the
server's own message and cause. LINSTOR marks failure in the ret_code
mask's sign bit, so the check is on the sign rather than on wording.

This is instrumentation, not a fix: it makes the next run say which of
those three it is.

`n lost` refuses while the satellite still reports ONLINE, and when it
does not, it unregisters the node and cascades away its replicas. The
decision is taken on one field and acted on immediately, and nothing
converges behind it, so a cached value that trails the API server is not
a slow answer but a wrong one in both directions: a stale ONLINE refuses
the cleanup a dead node needs, and a stale OFFLINE tears down a node
whose satellite is answering.

The node-scoped listings the same handler makes already read through the
manager's direct reader. This is the field the refusal itself turns on,
read from the same place. Every other Node read is unchanged: they are on
paths that either poll for convergence or do not act on the answer.

The integration suite caught the first shape — the satellite mock had
stamped OFFLINE and the API server had it, while the REST server's
cached client still read the last ONLINE heartbeat and refused.

The sync-percentage column takes one whole-cluster read above the cutoff
and falls through to one read per definition when that fails. It fell
through on every error, so a cancelled invocation or a refusal aimed at
the caller was answered with N more requests that fail identically, in
the command an operator runs because something is already wrong.

SelectorUnsupported draws the same line a layer down: a fallback is worth
taking when the first read failed on its shape, not when it ran out of
the budget the second one spends again. A timeout stays on the retrying
side, since the cluster-wide read is the one most likely to exceed a
deadline and the narrow ones after it are each small enough to land.

Both paths also swallowed their own errors, so a listing whose every size
read was refused printed a table with no percentages and exited 0 — which
looks exactly like a cluster with nothing to sync. The reason now reaches
stderr while the table on stdout stays the contract the harness parses.

The constant counts the definitions a listing covers, not the definitions
in the cluster, so a narrowing that still exceeds it takes the
whole-cluster read to render a handful of rows. That is the trade, and
the comment now says so rather than leaving the reader to measure it.

A selectable field declares a path, not a transform, so the API server
compares the spec value verbatim and the scoped reads compare the same
way — fallback included, so the two readers of one question cannot
answer it differently. A replica spelling its definition in a case the
definition is not stored under is missed by both, and folding on the
write side instead would fold the names clients read back, which is what
the crdname annotation exists to prevent.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The round's own finding is genuinely fixed: every manager-backed site now takes the direct reader. What is not fixed is the thing that was supposed to stop it recurring. The check sees one spelling of one half of the pairing, and the reader itself is pinned by nothing.

Findings

  • [MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/manager_store_wiring_test.go:36, the wiring check recognises one spelling, and only of one half
  • [MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/k8s.go:110, the reader this round is about is held by nothing
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:344, the constraint the cutoff is justified by is disproved by the function that applies it
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/cascade.go:95, the node-delete gate answers under one spelling and deletes under another
  • [MINOR] pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1104, the rd d snapshot gate and its sweep still read the cache
  • [MINOR] pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:444, two comments still explain a label selector that is now a field selector
  • [PARTIAL] pkg/store/k8s/k8s.go:83, "one constructor makes the pairing one decision"

Still open from my earlier rounds

Twenty-one of the twenty-seven items from rounds one to four are closed, including both MAJOR ones, each checked by reverting the fix. The throttled-server retry turned out to be closed too, by a commit that landed after the checklist's last recorded revision. Seven are still open, and three of them are findings above rather than repeats:

  • internal/cli/handlers.go:352, round 3, the bulk-read cutoff. Now withdrawn as accepted, see above.
  • pkg/store/store.go:298, round 4, the fold boundary. Above, held at MINOR.
  • pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:444 and tests/integration/harness/fixtures.go:140, round 4, the stale label-selector comments. Above.
  • pkg/rest/nodes.go:1367, round 4: resourcesOnNode still answers a one-node question with a whole-cluster List. The delete-refusal decision moved to the scoped read; this message helper did not.
  • pkg/store/inmemory_volume_definition.go:49, round 4: the in-memory List compares names verbatim while ListAll folds, so a mixed-case lookup disagrees depending on which side of the cutoff it lands. Reproduced again this round.
  • cmd/blockstor/main.go:61, round 4, unanswered rather than disputed: the comment says this binary is the only consumer that can reach the fallback branch, and the apiserver reaches it too.

Caveats

  • Ran: build, vet, golangci-lint (0 issues), the unit suites, the pkg/store/k8s envtest suite with 1.34 assets installed, and mutations of the wiring check and the nodes reader. Every fence above is a command I ran for this review.
  • Without KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS the envtest suite skips silently, 2s against 19s, so a green run without assets says nothing about the new field-index tests.
  • Running pkg/store/k8s and pkg/rest concurrently with assets installed reddened pkg/rest once for me; separately both pass. This change adds two envtest boots, so it adds contention on a loaded runner, which is worth knowing next to the Integration retries on this branch.
  • The satellite offline-shape rewrite is correct: it now matches what the heartbeat reconciler writes, which closes a real two-writer oscillation.

Findings not anchored to changed lines

These reference code outside this PR's diff (unchanged files, or lines outside a hunk), so GitHub cannot render them inline.

[MINOR] pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1104 the rd d snapshot gate and its sweep still read the cache

The snapshots store is one of the substores that did not get a direct reader. The sweep exists for the snapshot that raced the delete, which is exactly the row most likely to still be missing from the cache when the sweep runs, and a zero-row answer returns silently because the new logging fires only on a read error. Pre-existing in magnitude, but this round applies "a destructive decision must not read a cache" to nodes and not to the delete gate one file over.

[MINOR] pkg/rest/storage_pools.go:444 two comments still explain a label selector that is now a field selector

The same stale sentence sits here and at tests/integration/harness/fixtures.go:140, and the fixture stamps blockstor.io/node-name on every seeded pool because of it. Both were open on the previous round.

[MAJOR] the wiring check recognises one spelling, and only of one half

It requires a call named New/NewWithAPIReader on an identifier whose name contains k8s, with GetClient/GetAPIReader appearing inside the argument list, walking two directories. The literal pre-fix spelling does redden it; the rewordings a person reaches for do not:

$ # control: the literal spelling the check was written against
$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run TestManagerBackedStoresTakeTheDirectReader -count=1
--- FAIL: TestManagerBackedStoresTakeTheDirectReader (0.00s)
    manager_store_wiring_test.go:64: cmd/apiserver/main.go:267 builds a manager-backed store with storek8s.NewWithAPIReader; use storek8s.NewFromManager(mgr) so the direct reader cannot be left out
FAIL
$ # the same cache-only store, reached through a local variable
$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run TestManagerBackedStoresTakeTheDirectReader -count=1
ok  	github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/store/k8s	0.480s

An import alias without k8s in it passes for the same reason the ident is matched by substring, and only cmd and tests/integration/harness are walked, so the same construction in internal/ or pkg/ is never examined.

The half it does not look at matters more. There are two constructors, not one: NewManager (field_index.go:46) registers the field indexes and NewFromManager (k8s.go:83) threads the reader, and every site calls both separately. A binary that keeps NewFromManager and swaps storek8s.NewManager for ctrl.NewManager has the reader, has no indexes, and is back on the silent whole-collection fallback, which is the read this PR exists to remove. Nothing looks at manager construction at all.

Resolving the import path instead of matching the ident by substring, treating a local assigned from mgr.GetClient() as manager-derived, walking the module, and covering the manager call would close what the check claims. Making New/NewWithAPIReader unexported would close it without needing a check.

[MAJOR] the reader this round is about is held by nothing

Two tests look like they cover it and neither does. The read-counting test counts reads for Resources and StoragePools, not for Nodes. The handler-side test pins that n lost asks for GetUncached rather than Get, against a double whose Get is stale by construction, so it says nothing about what the real store does.

So restoring last round's defect passes:

$ export KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS=.../1.34.1-darwin-arm64   # without these the envtest suite skips silently
$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -count=1
ok  	github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/store/k8s	18.860s

$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1

Counting Get against the cached client the way the existing read-counting helper counts List discriminates: zero as written, one with the field removed.

[MINOR] the constraint the cutoff is justified by is disproved by the function that applies it

The comment says the number of definitions in the cluster is "the input it does not have and cannot cheaply get: sizing the cluster first is another request on every resource list". resourceList already holds the unfiltered listing in the same scope as kept, so counting it costs no request at all. I accepted this trade-off on the previous round on the strength of that sentence, so I am withdrawing that: the premise does not hold.

Under it, the command still answers -r and -n by reading every replica in the cluster and filtering in process, with both of the scoped reads this PR adds sitting unused in that file:

$ grep -n "ListByNode\|ListByDefinition" internal/cli/handlers.go
$ grep -n "Resources().List(ctx)" internal/cli/handlers.go

[MINOR] the node-delete gate answers under one spelling and deletes under another

Nodes().Get and Nodes().Delete fold the name, while spec.nodeName is stored verbatim from the wire. Both the refusal and the --force cascade are spec.nodeName reads now, so a node addressed in a case its replicas were not written with resolves for the delete and returns nothing for the gate: the refusal passes, the cascade reaps nothing, the node goes, and the replicas still point at it. Both spellings are legal LINSTOR input.

I am holding this at MINOR, as last round, because the merge base behaves identically and the code documents the gap. Worth saying plainly though: what a probe of it shows is a silent orphan rather than a cosmetic gap, and nothing pins the behaviour in either implementation, so the two are free to drift apart. A conformance case per implementation is cheap, and a refusal that reads as "asked under a spelling nothing was written with" rather than "nothing references this node" is cheaper.

[PARTIAL] "one constructor makes the pairing one decision"

Two do, and they are independently droppable: NewManager at field_index.go:46 registers the field indexes, NewFromManager here threads the reader. Every call site invokes both separately, so a binary can take one and not the other.

Last round made the direct reader one decision with NewFromManager, but
there were still two constructors a binary could take separately:
NewManager registered the field indexes, NewFromManager threaded the
reader. A binary could keep one and drop the other and be back on the
silent whole-collection fallback, or on a cache-only store.

NewManager now returns the store, built from that manager's own client
and reader, and NewFromManager is gone. There is no second call to leave
out.

The check that guards the way back matched one spelling: a call on an
identifier containing "k8s", with the manager call inline, in two
directories. It now resolves the store package by import path, follows a
manager's client through the locals it is assigned to, and walks the
whole module, and the recognised spellings are pinned against synthetic
source so the checker cannot quietly lose one. The local-variable
evasion applied to the real controller reddens it by file and line.

The node substore's reader was held by nothing: the read counting covered
listings only, and the handler test pinned that `n lost` asks for
GetUncached against a double. The envtest case now counts Gets on the
cached client too, so dropping the node reader, the defect the
controller binary had, fails it.

`resource list -n` and `-r` still read every replica in the cluster and
filtered in process, with the node- and definition-scoped reads for
exactly those questions sitting unused in the same file. The volume sizes
were the smaller of the two reads; this was the larger, on the command
this change is named after.

The in-process filter still runs afterwards and keeps its case-insensitive
comparison. The scoped reads compare the stored spelling, so each name is
asked for as typed and as folded, which covers a filter typed in a
different case than the replica was written with.

The cutoff comment claimed the cluster size was not in hand, while the
function applying it held the unfiltered listing in the same scope. It is
now true for the case it describes: an unnarrowed listing covers every
definition with a replica, and a narrowed one no longer reads the rest.

Four places still decided on the read this change is about, or compared
names the other way round from their siblings.

The rd d snapshot refusal and its sweep read the cache. The sweep exists
for the snapshot that raced the delete, which is the row most likely to
be missing from a cache at that moment. Snapshots gain an uncached
listing used only by those two; every other listing stays cached, since
the snapshot view paginates through it and an uncached read beside a
cached one is the regression the store's constructor already records.

The node-delete gate and its --force cascade compared spec.nodeName
verbatim while Nodes().Get and Delete fold, so a node addressed in a
different case than its replicas were written with was deleted with the
replicas still pointing at it. Both reads now ask under the caller's
spelling and the folded one, pinned by a conformance case on both store
implementations.

The node-lost refusal named the node's replicas by listing every replica
in the cluster; it uses the node-scoped read now. And the in-memory
VolumeDefinition List compared the definition name verbatim while
ListAll and the Kubernetes store fold, so a mixed-case lookup answered
differently depending on the CLI's bulk-read cutoff.

Two comments still explained a label selector that is a field selector
now; they say what is true instead.

All seven fixed, plus the three open ones from earlier rounds.

NewManager returns the store now, built from that manager's own client and reader, and NewFromManager is gone, so there is no second constructor to drop. The wiring check resolves the store package by import path, follows the client through locals and walks the whole module. The spellings it recognises are pinned on synthetic source, and your local-variable variant on the real controller reddens it by file and line. The node reader is held by a Get count on the cached client, zero as written and one with the field removed.

You were right about the cutoff premise. Narrowed resource list uses the node- and definition-scoped reads now, so the comment is true for the case it describes.

The cmd/blockstor comment was fixed last round, in the throttled-server commit, so I think your checklist just missed it.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

The consolidation landed well: NewFromManager is gone, NewManager is the only way a manager-backed store is built, and the reader that was held by nothing last round now reddens a test when removed. Thirty-one of the thirty-five items from earlier rounds are closed. The blocker is that the narrowing added this round returns fewer rows than the code it replaced.

Findings

  • [MAJOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:275, a narrowed listing loses replicas the same command found before
  • [MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/snapshots.go:135, the uncached snapshot read returns to the cache on exactly the cluster it exists for
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/cascade.go:115, the two-spelling lookup only covers one of the two directions
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/k8s/manager_store_wiring_test.go:48, the guard closed the spellings and kept a blind spot
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/k8s/field_index.go:58, construction now talks to the API server and both servers exit on the error
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:561, the narrowing stops at the replica read

Still open from my earlier rounds

Thirty-one of the thirty-five items from rounds one to five are closed, including everything about construction wiring: NewFromManager is gone, and the nodes reader that nothing held now reddens TestNodeScopedReadsUseTheDirectReaderWhenThereIsOne when removed. Four remain, and all four are findings above rather than repeats: the guard's blind spot, the one-directional fold lookup, the whole-cluster volume-definition read, and the comment whose justification I withdrew last round, now rewritten.

Caveats

  • Ran: build, vet, the unit suites, the pkg/store/k8s envtest suite with 1.34 assets installed, the narrowing probe against both this head and the merge base, and mutations of the four substore readers and the guard. Every fence above is a command I ran for this review.
  • Without KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS the envtest cases skip silently and the suite still prints ok; the tell is about 2s against about 19s. Any mutation verdict taken without them is void.
  • git status does not work in a partial clone of this repository, so cleanliness was checked with git ls-files -m.
  • Held by a test that reddens: index registration, the refused-selector fallback against a live API server with selectableFields stripped, the ListAll fold key, the cascade's second spelling, and rd d and n lost reading uncached.

[MAJOR] a narrowed listing loses replicas the same command found before

unionOfScopedReads asks for two spellings, the typed one and its fold. The path it replaced asked for none: it read every replica and filtered through strings.EqualFold. Spec values keep whatever case their writer used while only metadata.name folds, so a replica written as NODE-1 by an adoption run or by linstor-csi is invisible to -n node-1, and -r likewise. The command exits zero with an empty table, during exactly the incident the narrowing is for.

/v1/view/resources still folds, so the two front ends now disagree on one filter. The durable fix is the folded selectable field the FoldName comment sketches; the interim is not to narrow where the fold is load-bearing. The PR's own case test covers the mirror direction only, stored lowercase and typed uppercase.

[MAJOR] the uncached snapshot read returns to the cache on exactly the cluster it exists for

When the API server refuses the field selector, which is what a cluster whose CRD predates the selectable fields does, ListByDefinitionUncached falls back with return s.ListByDefinition(ctx, rdName). That runs on the cached client and, with the index the binaries always register, succeeds from the informer. So on the old-CRD cluster the rd d snapshot refusal and the orphan sweep read the cache again, which is the stale read this method was added to bypass: a snapshot that raced the delete and has not reached the informer is invisible and the definition is deleted over it. The Resource and StoragePool siblings pass their own reader into the exhaustive path instead of re-entering the cached one.

Nothing holds this either. Dropping apiReader from the snapshots literal, and separately breaking the exhaustive fallback outright, both leave the three packages green with envtest assets present, while the same mutation on the other three substores reddens a named test.

[MINOR] the two-spelling lookup only covers one of the two directions

inBothSpellings asks for the typed name and its fold, so when the operator types a non-canonical case it finds a canonically-written replica. The other direction short-circuits: type the already-lowercase name against a replica written NODE-1 and FoldName(node) == node, so there is one lookup, the refusal gate and the --force cascade both see nothing, and Nodes().Delete folds and takes the node anyway. Same root as the narrowed-listing finding.

[MINOR] the guard closed the spellings and kept a blind spot

Last round's two escapes, an import alias and a local variable, are both caught now, with a recogniser test per spelling. What still passes is a construction the walk never reads: the skip list is .git, bin, vendor, third_party, testdata, .work, node_modules, and only vendor and testdata are special to the Go toolchain. A compiling violation planted under third_party/ leaves the guard green. Indirection through a helper, where the manager's client arrives as a function parameter, also escapes.

[MINOR] the narrowing stops at the replica read

resource list -n now reads replicas scoped, but the sync-percentage column behind it still calls VolumeDefinitions().ListAll() once for the whole cluster: a -n query covering forty definitions on one node still makes that call. Half the command's cost is unchanged.

`resource list -n` and `-r` were answered with the node- and
definition-scoped reads, asked in the typed and the folded spelling.
Those reads compare the stored spec value verbatim, and a replica's
spec keeps whatever case its writer used, so a replica an adoption run
stored on `NODE-1` was missing from `-n node-1`: an empty table and exit
status zero, where the whole listing filtered with EqualFold, which the
command did before, found it.

Read the replicas whole again and keep the case-insensitive filter.
Narrowing the read without losing rows needs the folded selectable
field FoldName describes. The volume-size picker stays, and its comment
now describes the read that is actually behind the rows.

ListByDefinitionUncached answered a refused field selector by calling
the cached ListByDefinition. A refused selector is what a cluster whose
CRD predates the selectable field returns, and there the index the
binaries register serves that call from the informer: the `rd d`
refusal and the orphan sweep read the cache again on exactly the
cluster the fallback exists for, and a snapshot that raced the delete
was invisible to both.

The fallback is now the exhaustive read on the same direct reader, the
way the Resource and StoragePool reads pass theirs. A test holds the
reader and the fallback against a cache that never saw the snapshot;
dropping the reader from the store literal, or routing the fallback
back through the cache, reddens it.

The node gate asked its scoped reads in the typed spelling and the
folded one, and skipped the second when they were equal. Adoption from
LINSTOR registers a node as `NODE-1` and writes its replicas and pools
under that spelling, so `node delete node-1` asked once, found nothing,
passed the refusal, and Nodes().Delete folded and took the node with
both still on it. The `--force` and `node lost` cascade reaped nothing
the same way.

Ask in the node's registered spelling as well, resolved from the node
listing with FoldName so both store implementations answer it the same
way, and compute the spellings once per decision. The evacuate in-use
refusal is the same kind of gate and now asks the same way. What stays
out of reach is a replica written under a case that is none of the
three, which is the boundary FoldName documents.

The guard skipped third_party, bin and node_modules by name, none of
which the Go toolchain ignores, so a compiling violation planted under
third_party left it green. It now skips only what the toolchain skips:
vendor, testdata, and names starting with a dot or an underscore.

A helper that received the manager's client as a parameter and built
the store from it also escaped, because the check followed a manager's
client through locals only. Rather than chase data flow across calls,
production code outside the store package may now build a store only
at an allowlisted call site, keyed by file and function, each with its
reason; today that is the CLI's openStore. A stale entry fails too.
Tests and the store package keep the manager-derived rule.

Registering a field index creates the informer for its kind, which
resolves the kind's REST mapping, and the default mapper resolves it by
discovery. NewManager registers the indexes before Start, so it needed
a reachable API server where ctrl.NewManager alone did not, and both
binaries exit on the error: a server briefly unreachable at pod start
became a crash loop instead of a pod waiting on cache sync.

blockstor's kinds are cluster-scoped CRDs in one group version, so
NewManager now maps them in process ahead of whatever mapper the
options carry, and everything outside the group still goes through
discovery. A test builds the manager against an address that refuses
connections, and a second resolves every CRD under config/crd/bases
through the manager's mapper with no server and compares plural and
scope, so a new kind or a changed scope cannot drift from the mapping.

This reverts commit 40fc53a.

Mapping blockstor's kinds in process made placement stall on a loaded
host. The integration suite failed five CI attempts in a row on
autoplace and snapshot waits that never converged, and the same tests
under CPU stress locally failed 6 of 21 runs with the in-process
mapper against 1 of 21 with it reverted.
The mechanism is not pinned down; discovery at construction is what
the green rounds ran on, so it comes back, and the next commit keeps
a briefly unreachable API server from ending construction instead.

NewManager registers the field indexes before the manager starts, and
each registration resolves its kind's REST mapping through discovery.
Both binaries exit when that fails, so an API server that was down for
a moment while the pod started ended in a crash loop.

Registration now retries with backoff for up to 60 seconds, which stays
inside the liveness window the manager's own probe allows, and reports
the last error once the budget is spent. A retry asks only for the
indexes that failed, because an informer refuses a second indexer
under a name it already holds.

All six fixed.

resource list reads every replica again and filters with EqualFold, -n and -r included, as the merge base did. Narrowing without losing rows needs the folded selectable field, so the listing stays whole until that exists.

Node-fate reads ask in three spellings: typed, folded, and the one the node is registered under. Still out of reach is a hand-written spelling that matches none of them. Also the REST post-delete race check runs after the node is gone, so there it can only ask typed and folded. The merge base compared verbatim in that place.

The guard allows the store constructors outside pkg/store/k8s only at an allowlisted file:function, and the list has one entry, the CLI's openStore. That closes the helper escape without following data flow.

NewManager still asks the API server at construction, but index registration now retries with backoff for up to 60s and asks again only for the indexes that failed. First I tried mapping blockstor's kinds from the scheme so construction wouldn't touch the API server at all. With that, integration failed five CI runs in a row on autoplace and snapshot waits, and under CPU stress locally it failed 6 of 21 runs against 1 of 21 without it. I didn't find the mechanism, so it's reverted.

Verdict

NOT LGTM

Construction now holds the health endpoint shut past the kubelet's kill deadline, and the node-delete rollback re-scan asks for a spelling the delete has just made unreadable.

Findings

  • [MAJOR] pkg/store/k8s/field_index.go:74, the registration wait outlives the liveness probe, so the kubelet kills the pod instead of letting it wait
  • [MAJOR] pkg/store/cascade.go:142, the post-delete rollback re-scan cannot see the registered spelling
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/k8s/field_index.go:225, RegisterFieldIndexes has no callers, and two of the indexes it installs have no readers
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:434, three changes in this round have no test that fails without them

Still open from my earlier rounds

  • The fold boundary in ListByDefinition is open for the fourth round. I am not filing it a fourth time: two independent passes this round walked into the destructive door it leaves open, so it has outgrown a review note. rd d PVC-X against a definition stored pvc-x passes the snapshot gate, cascades nothing and still deletes the definition, because the gate and the cascade compare the name verbatim while the store's Delete folds it. Reproduced on envtest: the gate saw 0 snapshots, Delete returned nil, and one replica and one snapshot were left behind with live DRBD state under them. It is not a regression, the merge base has neither FoldName nor a folded gate, and I am not asking you to fix it here. I am asking that it stop being carried as a MINOR: it deserves its own issue, and FoldName's doc comment already describes the schema change that closes it.
  • The claim I graded two rounds ago, that the CLI binary is the only consumer that can reach the fallback branch, is settled. cmd/blockstor/main.go:59-72 now says the servers reach it too. The code agrees with the finding, so I am closing it rather than ageing it further.

On the reverted RESTMapper

Reverting on five red CI runs and a 6-of-21 local reproduction is the right call with the mechanism unknown, and I have nothing to add about the mechanism. What replaced it is what I am blocking on: the 60s retry cannot finish under any manifest in this repository, so the outage it was written to survive still ends in a kill, only now with no diagnostic. That is the first finding above.

On resource list

Reading every replica again and filtering with EqualFold is the honest answer while the folded selectable field does not exist, and handlers.go:243 is byte-identical to the merge base, so nothing is lost. The title still promises two narrow questions and the PR now answers one. Worth a line in the description rather than a code change.

Caveats

  • Where the CRD has no selectableFields yet, the fallback is an unpaginated whole-collection read on the uncached reader, once per spelling, heavier than the merge base's single cached List. Not measured.
  • envtest and unit suites only, no cluster.

[MAJOR] the registration wait outlives the liveness probe, so the kubelet kills the pod instead of letting it wait

The comment above this constant reads "stays inside the liveness probe's window, since the health endpoint only comes up once the manager starts". The second clause is why the first cannot hold: nothing serves /healthz until mgr.Start, which cmd/controller/main.go:330 and cmd/apiserver/main.go:279 reach long after NewManager at :169 and :142, so every probe fired during the wait fails by construction.

The arithmetic comes out short in all three shipped manifests. The two deployments whose binaries actually call storek8s.NewManager leave periodSeconds unset, so kubelet defaults it to 10 with failureThreshold 3, and the third failure lands at ~35s:

$ cd /tmp/pr-review-cozystack-blockstor-191
$ sed -n "90,92p" stand/blockstor-deploy.yaml; sed -n "132,134p" stand/blockstor-apiserver-deploy.yaml; sed -n "83,88p" config/manager/manager.yaml
          livenessProbe:
            httpGet: {path: /healthz, port: 8081}
            initialDelaySeconds: 15
          livenessProbe:
            httpGet: {path: /healthz, port: health}
            initialDelaySeconds: 15
        livenessProbe:
          httpGet:
            path: /healthz
            port: 8081
          initialDelaySeconds: 15
          periodSeconds: 20

15 + 10 + 10 = 35s for the two that ship, 15 + 20 + 20 = 55s for the kubebuilder one, against a 60s budget. gave up registering the field indexes after 1m0s is unreachable under every one of them, so an API server that blips at pod start is a restart with no cause in the log, which is the crash loop this retry was written to replace.

The window itself, with a control:

$ cd /tmp/pr-review-cozystack-blockstor-191
$ go test ./pkg/store/k8s/ -run 'TestProbeHealthzUnservedWhileNewManagerWaits|TestProbeControlHealthzServedByMergeBaseShape' -count=1 -v

    OBSERVED: liveness attempt 1 failed: Get "http://127.0.0.1:58066/healthz": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:58066: connect: connection refused
    OBSERVED: liveness attempt 2 failed: Get "http://127.0.0.1:58066/healthz": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
    OBSERVED: no liveness probe succeeded during 5s of the registration wait
    OBSERVED: NewIndexedManagerWithin returned after the budget: gave up registering the field indexes after 8s: index Resource by spec.nodeName: failed to get server groups

=== RUN   TestProbeControlHealthzServedByMergeBaseShape
    OBSERVED: /healthz answered 200 on attempt 1
--- PASS: TestProbeControlHealthzServedByMergeBaseShape (0.00s)

On the merge base the same outage cost nothing: ctrl.NewManager contacted no API server, and Start binds the HTTP servers before the caches, so the pod stayed up and waited on cache sync. Either cut the budget below initialDelaySeconds + (failureThreshold-1) * periodSeconds for the manifests that ship, or give both deployments a startupProbe so liveness is not evaluated while the process is still constructing.

[MAJOR] the post-delete rollback re-scan cannot see the registered spelling

nodeSpellings takes the registered spelling out of Nodes().List. rollbackNodeDeleteIfRaced (pkg/rest/nodes.go:1328) calls ReferencesOnNode after remove() has run Nodes().Delete, so the row is gone and the re-walk can only ask the caller's spelling and its fold.

A replica or pool created during the delete window under the registered spelling is invisible to the Bug 174 re-scan, the rollback never fires, and the node stays deleted with a live Resource pointing at it, which then hangs on the satellite finalizer. The comment above referencesOnNode says keeping the two walks byte-identical is what stops a racing dependent getting through; they now call one function whose answer depends on whether the node row still exists, so that sentence is false by construction.

The handler already holds what is needed: captureNode returns a wire Node whose Name is OriginalName(...). Resolve the spellings before remove() and pass them in, instead of re-deriving them from a listing that no longer contains the node.

What would change my mind: a reason that window cannot be entered against a mixed-case registration.

One definition and four comments, no call site: registration goes through newIndexedManager now, and this exported entry point is the second call the PR set out to remove.

Its doc also still says the controller binary builds its store on the cached client alone, which stopped being true in this same commit, since NewManager returns NewWithAPIReader(...) for both binaries. That has a consequence past the prose: the only MatchingFields reads that go through a cached client are snapshots.go:103 and resources.go:1042 under ListByDefinition, while both node-scoped reads prefer the API reader, and a manager-built store always has one. So FieldResourceNodeName and FieldStoragePoolNodeName are registered on every manager, maintained over every Resource and StoragePool in the cache, read by nobody, and part of why construction now waits on the API server at all.

Either drop the exported function and the two node indexes, or name what still reads them.

[MINOR] three changes in this round have no test that fails without them

Reverting each one on its own, against the narrowest suite that should have caught it:

  • pkg/store/inmemory_volume_definition.go:55 back to k.rd == want leaves TestInMemoryVolumeDefinitionStore green. testVolumeDefinitionListFolds seeds under pvc-fold-list and queries PVC-Fold-List, and the query side is already folded by want := FoldName(rdName), so the assertion passes whether or not the stored key folds. The case this line is about, a definition stored PVC-Mixed looked up under a replica's pvc-mixed, is the one not seeded. Swapping the seed and query spelling in that conformance case pins both implementations, which is the point of it living in storetest.
  • Dropping !apierrors.IsUnauthorized(err) from this return stays green: TestVolumeSizesDoNotRetryARefusalPerDefinition builds its fixture with apierrors.NewForbidden, so 403 is the sole discriminator and 401 has no isolating case. An expired token on a CLI invocation is the reachable shape.
  • Deleting the if len(sizes) == 0 && firstErr != nil { warnSyncColumnUnavailable(...) } block at handlers.go:493 stays green. The bulk path's warning is covered by the refusal and throttle tests; the per-definition path's is not, so a listing under the cutoff whose every read failed could go back to a silently empty column with nothing noticing.

One fixture each: a mixed-case seed in the conformance case, a NewUnauthorized bulk error, and a per-definition store that fails every List with fewer than volumeSizesBulkCutoff definitions.

The volume-definition fold case seeded a canonical spelling and asked a
mixed one, which the lookup side folds on its own, so a stored side
that compared verbatim passed it. It now also seeds the mixed spelling
and asks the canonical one, for both implementations.

The refusal case for the volume-size fallback built only a Forbidden
error; an Unauthorized one, an expired token on a CLI invocation, now
has its own case. And the warning a per-definition listing gives when
none of its reads succeeded had no case under the bulk cutoff, where
the bulk path's warning never fires.

Nothing serves /healthz until the manager starts, so every liveness
probe fired while NewManager waits on the API server fails. The 60s
budget outlived the kubelet's kill in every manifest that ships: the
two stand deployments leave the period and threshold at their defaults
and are killed 35s after start, the kubebuilder manifest at 55s. The
outage the wait was written to ride out still ended in a restart, now
with nothing in the log saying why.

The budget is 20s, and a test reads the kill deadline out of the
manifests so a probe tightened later fails it. The bound is now on the
wait rather than on an attempt: an attempt still in flight when the
budget runs out is abandoned, since a dial into a dropped route can
take client-go's 30s timeout to fail.

RegisterFieldIndexes had no callers left once NewManager registered the
indexes itself, so it was the second call the constructor exists to
remove. Two of the four indexes it installed were read by nothing: a
manager-built store always carries the API reader, and the node-scoped
reads prefer it, so spec.nodeName was indexed over every Resource and
StoragePool in the cache for no reader.

The exported function and the two node indexes are gone; the
definition-scoped indexes, which the cached Resource and Snapshot
listings do read, stay. The index test now pins exactly those two, and
a new test holds the reader wiring the node reads depend on, since
without the index a store missing it would not fail, it would read
every object.

The Bug 174 re-walk runs after the node row is deleted, and the node's
registered spelling is only known from that row. ReferencesOnNode read
it from the node listing each time it was called, so the re-walk asked
the caller's spelling and its fold alone, and a replica that raced in
under the registered spelling was invisible to it: the rollback never
fired and the node stayed deleted under a live replica.

handleNodeDelete now resolves the spellings once, before the delete,
and both walks ask in them through ReferencesUnderSpellings.
ReferencesOnNode stays as the wrapper for callers that do not delete
and re-ask.

Pull the spelling resolution out of handleNodeDelete so the handler

Fixed.

The budget is 20s and it bounds the whole wait, so an attempt still hanging at the end is abandoned: a dial into a dropped route can sit for 30s by itself. A test reads the three manifests and fails if the budget plus 10s doesn't fit before the earliest kill, 35s for the two stand deployments with kubelet defaults.

Node delete resolves the spellings once before remove() and passes the same set to both walks. Your probe shape is a test now.

You were right about the indexes. Every cached MatchingFields read goes through ListByDefinition, and a store from NewManager always reads node-scoped from the API reader, so the exported function and both spec.nodeName indexes are gone. A new test pins the reader, so dropping the indexes can't quietly turn into a full LIST.

Agreed that the ListByDefinition fold boundary deserves its own issue. The PR body now says resource list answers only one of the two questions.

Verdict

LGTM with non-blocking notes

Three MINOR notes. Every blocking surface I could reach came back clean under execution, including the old-CRD upgrade path.

Findings

  • [MINOR] pkg/store/inmemory_volume_definition.go:55, the in-memory volume-definition fold is applied to the readers only
  • [MINOR] internal/cli/handlers.go:377, "Either side of the cutoff the answer is identical" does not hold for a slugified definition name
  • [MINOR] pkg/store/cascade.go:181, the exhaustive fallback is re-read once per node spelling

Still open from my earlier rounds

ListByDefinition compares the definition name byte-exact while the store's own Delete folds it, and that boundary is open for the fifth round. You agreed last round that it deserves its own issue rather than another review note, and I still think that is the right call, so this is a reminder and not a re-filing: no issue exists in the tracker yet. The reason to keep saying it out loud is the door it leaves, not the read: rd d PVC-X against a definition stored pvc-x passes the snapshot gate on zero rows, cascades nothing, and still deletes the definition. Two independent passes walked into it this round without being pointed at it.

Everything else I raised in earlier rounds is closed at this head. The index registration now ends before the kubelet's deadline and a test reads the three manifests to keep it that way; node delete resolves the spellings once and asks both walks in all of them; the exported registration helper and the two unread spec.nodeName indexes are gone with a test pinning the reader. I reverted each of those guards and watched a named test go red.

Caveats

  • Upgrade and rollback: the stripped-CRD fallback is executed (TestListByNodeFallsBackWhenTheSelectorIsRefused, run here on envtest 1.31, plus both SelectorUnsupported terms shown to be pinned by mutation). Rollback to the previous binary over the new CRD is reasoned only: selectableFields is additive and the old code sends label selectors.
  • selectableFields is beta-by-default from 1.31 and GA in 1.32. Below that the scoped reads take the fallback permanently, and the only signal is a V(1) line, which is on by default on both servers but needs BLOCKSTOR_DEBUG in the CLI (both confirmed by running the logger).
  • TestIndexRegistrationBudgetEndsBeforeLivenessKills reads the three manifests in this repo. A downstream chart with a tighter probe than 15s+2x10s is out of its reach, and the 20s wait serves no /healthz.
  • 19 mutations across the new guards, including each term of SelectorUnsupported, perDefinitionCanAnswer and NodeSpellings, all reddened; no coverage gap found.

[MINOR] the in-memory volume-definition fold is applied to the readers only

List and ListAll now fold the definition name while every other method keys vdKey{rd, vol} verbatim:

$ grep -n 'FoldName\|vdKey{' pkg/store/inmemory_volume_definition.go
52:	want := FoldName(rdName)
55:		if FoldName(k.rd) == want {
75:		key := FoldName(k.rd)
91:	vd, ok := s.m[vdKey{rdName, volumeNumber}]
107:	k := vdKey{rdName, vd.VolumeNumber}
149:	s.m[vdKey{rdName, assigned}] = *vd
162:	k := vdKey{rdName, vd.VolumeNumber}
184:	key := vdKey{rdName, volumeNumber}
210:	k := vdKey{rdName, volumeNumber}

The two halves then disagree, and the model can hold a state the Kubernetes store cannot. Seeding Create(ctx, "PVC-Mixed", vol0) and asking as pvc-mixed, I get List returning the row while Get returns object not found; a second Create under the folded spelling succeeds where the k8s store would answer AlreadyExists, leaving two volume-0 rows under one definition; and CreateAutoNumbered walks only the verbatim keys, so it hands out a number the other spelling already holds. The same probe on merge-base 5ff105a returns one row and a List that agrees with Get, so the disagreement arrived with this change.

Every pkg/rest unit test runs on this model, so a divergence here is a place a production defect can hide behind a green suite. storetest pins the fold for List and ListAll; the same case on Get and CreateAutoNumbered would have caught it. Folding inside vdKey on construction closes it in one place.

[MINOR] "Either side of the cutoff the answer is identical" does not hold for a slugified definition name

The two sides resolve the definition name differently. The per-definition read is VolumeDefinitions().List, which goes through k8s.Name(); the bulk read is ListAll, keyed by store.FoldName of the stored original. k8s.Name() folds case only on its pass-through branch:

$ sed -n '/^func Name(/,/^}/p' pkg/store/k8s/crdname.go | grep -n 'lower\|Sum256'
2:	lower := strings.ToLower(in)
4:	if lower != "" && len(lower) <= maxK8sName && rfc1123.MatchString(lower) {
5:		return lower
12:	for _, r := range lower {
29:	digest := sha256.Sum256([]byte(in))

The slug branch hashes in, the unfolded input, so two spellings of a name that needs slugging land on different CRD names while FoldName puts them on the same bulk key. _ is legal in a LINSTOR identifier and is what takes that branch, and a replica naming its definition in another case is the shape this PR documents elsewhere.

The visible effect is a sync percentage that appears or disappears with how many definitions the listing happens to cover, exit status 0 either way. Either narrow the sentence to rfc1123-clean names, or hash lower rather than in.

[MINOR] the exhaustive fallback is re-read once per node spelling

inEverySpelling calls the scoped read once per spelling, and each of those calls can fall back to reading the whole collection:

$ sed -n '/^func (s \*resources) listScoped(/,/^}/p' pkg/store/k8s/resources.go | grep -n 'MatchingFields\|SelectorUnsupported\|listExhaustively'
7:	err := reader.List(ctx, &crdList, ctrlclient.MatchingFields{field: value})
17:	if !SelectorUnsupported(err) {
24:	return s.listExhaustively(ctx, reader, field, value, keep)

So on a cluster that cannot serve the selector, a two-spelling node gate issues two whole-collection Resource reads and two whole-collection StoragePool reads. handleNodeDelete runs that gate twice, pre-walk and post-Delete re-walk, and these go to the API reader rather than the informer cache the merge base read from, so the command that used to cost one cached list now costs several uncached whole-collection ones.

The fallback already has the entire collection in hand. Reading it once and filtering it against every spelling gives the same answer at one read per kind.

Filed the fold boundary as #194, with the rd d door as the reason rather than the read.

Andrei Kvapil (kvaps) added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 21, 2026
Brings in #191. The one conflict is the snapshot pre-walk of rd d: main
reads it uncached, this branch moved it into rdHasNoSnapshots, which
now takes the uncached read.
