fix(rest): roll a clone or restore back when its parent group is deleted - #193
Conversation
`POST /v1/resource-definitions` checks the resource group twice: once before the write and once after, rolling the definition back when a concurrent `rg d` won the race. The reason is that a definition pointing at a group that no longer exists is not loudly broken — it lists fine and places badly, because the placer's Controller→RG→RD prop-inheritance walk drops the RG tier without a word, taking auto-place, auto-diskful, place_count observability and rebalance scheduling with it. Clone and snapshot-restore create definitions the same way and inherit the group the same way, and had neither half of that guard. The compensation cannot be RD-create's. It rolls back a bare definition with a single Delete; by the time the group can vanish here the target has volumes hydrated from the snapshot and replicas stamped on the nodes that hold it, so the rollback is the cascade `rd d` performs — replicas first, then the definition, which carries its inline volumes with it. The internal snapshot a clone took is deliberately left behind: it may be the only copy of something, and deleting one is the operator's decision.

The rollback ran both teardown calls and ignored both results. CascadeDeleteResources stops at the first replica it cannot delete and leaves the rest untried, so deleting the parent anyway produced exactly the orphan this rollback exists to avoid: a Resource whose RD vanished never gets a DeletionTimestamp, its satellite's finalizer never runs, `drbdadm down` never happens, and the DRBD minor, port and peer entries stay live until the next create with that name collides with them. On the CSI path the target name is deterministic, so the retry is that collision. The trigger is ordinary rather than rare — a satellite writes status on the very replicas being reaped, so a conflict or a timeout on one of them is a routine outcome, and it is the one case where the definition delete still succeeds. Both other doors that perform this teardown, handleRDDelete and the CLI's `rd d`, refuse to proceed on a failed cascade. This one does too, and says what it left behind: the caller gets a 500 naming the definition that is still there and still parented to a group that is gone, rather than a 404 claiming a rollback that did not happen. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The post-write check opened with a second read of the source definition and surfaced any error from either read as a 500, without compensating. Both are reads of things that say nothing about whether the restore worked — and getRGWithCacheRetry returns immediately on anything that is not NotFound, so apiserver unavailability, a timeout, a decode failure and a cancelled request context all land there. The cost was not a lost response. This endpoint has no idempotent-replay gate, so the target stayed in the store and every later attempt under that name met AlreadyExists and answered 409 from then on. A blip in a check could permanently wedge a restore that had already succeeded. So an inconclusive check no longer undoes the work: it is logged and the restore is reported. The check exists to catch a concurrent `rg d`, and not being able to run it is not evidence that one happened. The extra read goes too. What needs validating is the group that was WRITTEN onto the target, which materializeRestoredRD knows because it stamped it; reading the source again answers a different question with a value that may have moved since. The clone path takes the same shape. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Splitting this out of #190 was the right call and the three-commit progression reads well. But one of the clone handler's two branches never got the guard, and the failure branch of the new rollback is undone by the retry that follows it.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:293, the retry after a failed rollback reports the clone as done - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:244, the vol-less clone branch got no guard on either side - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:97, the cascade cannot report the leftover the rollback keys on - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:286, two of the three fixed behaviours are unpinned - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:104, the rollback's delete skips both companions its sibling runs - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:32, the comment says clone and restore had the pre-write half; they had neither - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:420, the inconclusive check is log-only
Caveats
- Ran: build, vet,
golangci-lint(0 issues),go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1, four probes, and a mutation revert of each of the three fixes with two controls. Each fenced block came out of the command printed with it, run again for this review. - CLAUDE.md's L6/L7 CLI protocol does not bind here: this is not a user-reported CLI bug, and the parent group is not settable from
rd clone(verified against linstor-client 1.29.1). server did not stop within 2s after cancelcame up red on 1 of 3 runs at this head and 0 of 3 at the base. Three samples won't settle it. Worth a look.- The cluster-side half of the cascade finding is reasoned, not executed: no envtest assets are committed, so there is no local apiserver to replay it against.
Recommended follow-ups
internal/cli/write_more.go:663deletes a resource group with no reference walk, soblockstor rg dis what makes this race reachable at all; the REST door refuses.handleRGSpawncreates a definition from a group with no post-write re-check.

[MAJOR] the retry after a failed rollback reports the clone as done
When the cascade fails, the definition is deliberately kept and the answer is 500 telling the operator to delete it. The CSI target name is deterministic and linstor-csi retries CreateVolume on any error, so the next call replays the same POST, cloneTargetPreexists matches the BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot marker (stamped at RD-create, before hydration) and answers 201 "already cloned" for a definition still parented to the group that is gone. The advice in the 500 never reaches a human because the machine turns the failure into success first.
$ go test ./pkg/rest -run TestProbe -v
OBSERVED attempt 1: status=500 (rollback failed, definition left behind)
OBSERVED attempt 2: status=201 message="resource definition already cloned: dst-probe"
OBSERVED store: RD dst-probe present=true parentRG="grp-probe-gone"; RG grp-probe-gone present=false
--- PASS: TestProbeCloneRetryAfterFailedRollbackReportsSuccess (0.49s)
CONTROL: attempt1=201 attempt2=201 (both 201, group alive)
--- PASS: TestProbeControlCloneRetryWithLiveGroupIsLegitimate (0.09s)
The control matters: with the group alive the same replay is a legitimate idempotent 201, so this is not a complaint about cloneTargetPreexists in general. Two shapes close it: drop the BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot marker from the leftover before writing the 500, or refuse in cloneTargetPreexists when the parent group no longer resolves.

[MAJOR] the vol-less clone branch got no guard on either side
handleRDClone splits on the source's VolumeDefinition count. This PR guarded the VD-bearing branch; cloneEmptyRDShell does clone := *src, carrying ResourceGroupName over verbatim, and Creates it with no group check before or after the write.
$ go test ./pkg/rest -run TestProbe -v
OBSERVED: status=201; clone dst-shell present=true parentRG="grp-shell-gone"; RG grp-shell-gone present=false
--- PASS: TestProbeVolLessCloneHasNoParentGroupGuard (0.09s)
That is the branch the PR body calls cheap to compensate ("RD-create rolls back with a single Delete, which is right for what it created: a bare definition"), so refuseRDCreateOnRGDeletedRace's shape fits it rather than the cascade.

[MAJOR] the cascade cannot report the leftover the rollback keys on
"The definition goes only if the replicas went" rests on CascadeDeleteResources erroring when a replica did not go. It has no such report for replicas merely accepted for deletion: the loop falls out of its CascadeDeleteMaxPasses budget and returns nil with the children still listed.
$ go test ./pkg/rest -run TestProbe -v
OBSERVED: CascadeDeleteResources err=<nil> after 5 passes; replicas before=1 after=1
--- PASS: TestProbeCascadeReportsSuccessWhileReplicasRemain (0.00s)
In a cluster that is the ordinary case rather than the edge: every Resource carries SatelliteResourceFinalizer (pkg/satellite/controllers/resource.go:174), an apiserver DELETE on a finalizer-held object is accepted with no error (pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:299), and ListByDefinition does not filter DeletionTimestamp (same file, :75). The definition then goes while its replicas are still Terminating and the caller reads 404 rolled back.
The in-memory store the new tests use deletes synchronously, which is why the suite cannot see this. The cluster-side half is reasoned rather than executed: no envtest assets are committed, so there is no local apiserver to replay it against.

[MAJOR] two of the three fixed behaviours are unpinned
Each fix reverted in its own checkout, go test ./pkg/rest/ -run "RGDeleted|Clone|Restore|ParentGroup":
clone-half: inconclusive re-check undoes the clone again (pre-05e8bb94) GAP: stayed green
restore-half: report a rollback that did not happen (pre-629cd660) GAP: stayed green
CONTROL: drop the clone rollback entirely covered: went red
CONTROL: drop the restore rollback entirely covered: went red
The controls show the selector is not vacuous. The two missing fixtures: a clone whose parent-group re-check returns a non-NotFound error and must still answer 201 with the clone intact (the failingRGReadStore shape already in the file, pointed at the clone endpoint), and a restore whose cascade fails and must answer 500 naming the definition left behind (the failingCascadeStore shape, pointed at the restore endpoint).
One assertion that is there has the same weakness. rg_deleted_race_test.go:82 checks len(replicas) != 0 after the rollback, and nothing before it asserts a replica was ever placed, so the check passes on a fixture that never created one. coderabbit raised this separately and it is right.

[MINOR] the rollback's delete skips both companions its sibling runs
handleRDDelete follows its RD delete with a convergence wait and an orphan sweep. rollBackMaterialisedRD does neither:
$ grep -n "waitForRDDeletionVisible\|sweepOrphanSnapshotsAfterRDDelete" pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1154: s.waitForRDDeletionVisible(r.Context(), name)
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1183: s.sweepOrphanSnapshotsAfterRDDelete(r.Context(), name)
pkg/rest/resource_definitions.go:1190: s.waitForRDDeletionVisible(r.Context(), name)
The wait exists because reads here are informer-cache backed and deletes lag them by tens of seconds (pkg/rest/cache_invalidation.go:30-41). Without it a retry landing inside that window reads the pre-delete definition, matches the marker and is answered 201 for a definition that is genuinely gone, which is the same false success as the retry finding by a different route. The sweep exists because a snapshot create can land between the walk and the delete. Both are one line.
| // parentRGSurvived re-reads the resource group a freshly materialised | ||
| // definition was parented to, and reports whether it is still there. | ||
| // | ||
| // This is the post-write half of the Bug 174 guard. `POST |

[MINOR] the comment says clone and restore had the pre-write half; they had neither
refuseRDCreateOnRGDeletedRace has exactly one caller, resource_definitions.go:356, and neither rd_clone.go nor snapshot_restore.go reads ResourceGroups() at all. The PR body has this right ("Neither had either half of that guard") and this comment does not.
It matters beyond tidiness: the refusal text derived from it always says the group "was deleted concurrently with the operation (Bug 174)", so an operator whose group never existed, from adoption or pre-Bug-134 data, is sent hunting a race that never happened.

[MINOR] the inconclusive check is log-only
Proceeding on an inconclusive re-check is the right call, but the caller gets a plain 201 and the only trace that the safety net did not run is an Info line in the apiserver log. The operator is told the restore worked and not that the group behind it went unverified, which is the one piece of information that would make them look.
pkg/rest/resource_groups.go:810 is the in-tree shape for this, a maskWarn APICallRc riding back with a 200-band result. Same on the clone half at pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:283.
…eletion "The definition goes only if the replicas went" rested on CascadeDeleteResources erroring when one did not, and it does not: the loop falls out of its pass budget and returns nil with the children still listed. That is the right contract for `rd d`, whose caller asked for the definition to go, and the wrong one to build a compensation on. The difference is the ordinary case in a cluster rather than an edge. Every Resource carries the satellite's finalizer, an apiserver DELETE on a finalizer-held object is accepted with no error, and the listing does not filter what is Terminating, so a cascade there is "accepted, still listed", five passes, nil. The rollback then dropped the definition while its replicas were still draining and answered 404 rolled back. It now re-reads and refuses on a replica that is still there carrying no deletion stamp, which is the only shape that strands: the stamp is what makes the finalizer run, and it runs whether or not the parent outlives it. The in-memory store deletes synchronously, so the pin needs a double that accepts a delete and keeps the child listed. Also closes the two behaviours that were fixed but unpinned — a clone whose parent-group re-check fails must still answer 201 with the clone intact, and a restore whose cascade fails must answer 500 naming the definition left behind — and makes the "no replicas left behind" assertion non-vacuous by pinning that the same fixture places one.

Two doors on the same guard were open. The retry after a failed rollback. The definition is deliberately kept and the operator told to delete it, but the CSI target name is deterministic and linstor-csi retries CreateVolume on any error, so the next call met that leftover, matched a marker stamped at RD-create and was answered 201 "already cloned" for a definition parented to a group that is gone. The advice in the 500 never reached a human. A leftover whose parent group no longer resolves is now refused rather than replayed; an inconclusive read still counts as resolving, so a blip cannot turn a legitimate idempotent replay into a refusal. The volume-less branch. handleRDClone splits on the source's volume count, and the branch that copies a bare definition carried the group over verbatim with no check on either side of its write. It gets the post-write check with RD-create's compensation rather than the cascade: what it created is bare, so a single Delete undoes all of it. Both come with the control that says the ordinary path is untouched. Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
Proceeding on an inconclusive re-check is the right call: the work succeeded and only the check over it could not be inspected. Leaving the only trace in an apiserver log is not. The operator was told the clone or restore worked and not that the group behind it went unverified, which is the one piece of information that would make them look. A warn-band entry now rides back with the result, the shape resource_groups.go already uses. The rollback's own delete also gains the two companions handleRDDelete runs after its: the convergence wait, because a retry landing inside the cache-lag window reads the pre-delete definition and is answered for one that is genuinely gone, and the orphan sweep, because a snapshot create can land between the walk and the delete. And two corrections. The comment claimed clone and restore had the pre-write half of this guard; they had neither. The refusal derived from it always blamed a concurrent delete, which sends an operator whose group never existed hunting a race that never happened. Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>

Verdict
NOT LGTM
All seven findings from the last round are genuinely closed, and I checked each by reverting the fix and watching the original defect come back. The new refusal that replaced the cascade's word is the problem: it decides on a single read of the one substore that has no direct reader, and that read is wrong in both directions at exactly the moment it runs.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:118, the stranded check decides on a cache that has not seen the deletes it just issued - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:479, the replay gate asks only about the parent group - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:440, the shell rollback discards its Delete error and answers "rolled back" regardless - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:143, the rollback reuses the snapshot sweep without the refusal that makes it safe - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:327, one Cause is written for every rollback failure
Checked and correct
All seven findings from the previous round are closed, each verified by reverting the fix and confirming the original defect reproduces: the vol-less clone branch now has a post-write guard, the retry after a failed rollback answers 409 rather than 201, the cascade's nil is no longer trusted, the comment about the pre-write half is corrected, and the inconclusive re-check now rides a warn back in the envelope instead of only a log line. One gap left over: the convergence wait and the orphan sweep added to the rollback are pinned by nothing, so removing both leaves the suite green.
Caveats
- Ran: build, vet,
golangci-lint(0 issues),go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1(green, 72s), three probes with a control, and two mutations of the deciding term. Every fence above is a command I ran myself for this review. bin/k8sassets are not committed, so the envtest suites skip. All the evidence above is in-memory-store based, which is also why the suite cannot see either cache direction.- Rollback coverage is unit-level only: cascade plus RD delete plus convergence wait is a second writer on the
rd dteardown surface, and no cli-matrix cell or replay workflow touches it. CLAUDE.md's CLI protocol does not bind here, so that is a gap rather than a violation.

[MAJOR] the stranded check decides on a cache that has not seen the deletes it just issued
replicasNotAcceptedForDeletion re-lists through Resources().ListByDefinition, and resources is the one substore built without an API reader while its siblings get one:
$ grep -n "apiReader\|s.resources = " pkg/store/k8s/k8s.go | sed -n '1,8p'
90:func NewWithAPIReader(c ctrlclient.Client, apiReader ctrlclient.Reader) *Store {
95: s.resourceDefinitions = &resourceDefinitions{c: c, apiReader: apiReader}
96: s.resources = &resources{c: c}
98: s.volumeDefinitions = &volumeDefinitions{c: c, apiReader: apiReader}
The flag the check keys on is derived from DeletionTimestamp at read time, and CascadeDeleteResources sleeps nowhere across its passes, so the read outruns the cache by construction. It fails both ways.
Stale the old way, the replicas went and the rollback says they did not. Probed with the package's own Bug-124 lagging-store harness, with a control that differs only in the stamp already being visible:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbe193' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: status=500 replicasLeftAfterTheLag=0 definitionStillThere=true
msg="... rolling 'dst-lag' back failed: replica(s) were not accepted for deletion: node-a; 'dst-lag' is still there, parented to a group that no longer exists"
--- PASS: TestProbe193RollbackRefusesWhileTheCacheTrailsTheDelete (1.08s)
CONTROL: status=404 definitionStillThere=false
--- PASS: TestProbe193ControlRollbackProceedsOnceTheStampIsVisible (5.53s)
Nothing retries the rollback, so the definition stays parented to a group that is gone; clone retries meet the replay gate and restore has no replay gate at all, so hand deletion is the only exit.
Stale the other way is worse, and the tree already knows about it: the comment above that constructor records an earlier attempt where "the create flow's read-back resolved uncached while the cached List still under-reported". Replicas this same request placed may not be listed yet. Then the cascade deletes nothing, the check finds nothing stranded, and the definition is dropped over live replicas that will never be stamped, which is the orphan this rollback exists to prevent.
One change closes both: read this list uncached the way resourceDefinitions already can, or give the check the convergence budget the RG read two lines up and the RD delete below both have.
The deciding term is also unpinned, because no fixture presents a replica that is listed and stamped, which the doc itself calls the ordinary cascade outcome:
$ # A: the already-stamped skip disabled (condition can never hold)
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestRDClone|TestSnapshotRestore' -count=1

[MAJOR] the replay gate asks only about the parent group
cloneLeftoverIsUsable calls a leftover unusable purely on the group failing to resolve, so a definition whose replicas were all reaped is a legitimate idempotent replay the moment the group comes back, which is what both of this PR's own corrections tell the operator to do:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbe193Leftover' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED: status=201 replicasOnTheLeftover=0 msg="resource definition already cloned: dst-left"
--- PASS: TestProbe193LeftoverWithNoReplicasIsReportedAsAFinishedClone (0.08s)
That is 201 for a clone that exists on no node, and cloneTargetPreexists falls back to an uncached read, so a retry reaches this reliably rather than racing it. Gate on the leftover actually being whole (replicas present for its volumes), not on the group resolving.
The error polarity wants a second look too: if err != nil || survived treats an unreadable group as usable. Here refusing costs nothing, because the CSI retry is self-healing, while a false 201 binds a PV to a definition parented to nothing.

[MINOR] the shell rollback discards its Delete error and answers "rolled back" regardless
_ = s.Store.ResourceDefinitions().Delete(ctx, cloneName) throws the error away, then the 404 below tells the caller the clone was rolled back. When the delete fails the shell is still there, parented to a group that is gone, and the message says otherwise. On the data path rollBackMaterialisedRD deliberately refuses to make that claim, so the two halves of the same guard answer the same question differently.

sweepOrphanSnapshotsAfterRDDelete deletes every Snapshot row under the definition. In handleRDDelete that is safe because the handler refuses the delete outright when snapshots exist (FAIL_EXISTS_SNAPSHOT_DFN), so the sweep only ever sees rows that raced in. The rollback keeps the sweep and drops the refusal, so a snapshot taken on the target inside the rollback window is destroyed silently where rd d would have refused. The window is small; the asymmetry is one line to close.

[MINOR] one Cause is written for every rollback failure
The rollback-failed envelope always says the replicas could not all be reaped, but rollBackMaterialisedRD also fails when the replica re-read itself errored, and when the RD delete failed after every replica was reaped. In those shapes the Cause and the Correc ("once the replicas can be removed") point the operator at the wrong object.
The stranded check that replaced the cascade's word decided on one read of a cache-backed listing, and that read is wrong in both directions at the moment it runs. It trails the deletes the rollback just issued, since the cascade sleeps nowhere across its passes, so a replica that was going still listed unstamped and the rollback refused, leaving the definition parented to a group that is gone with nothing to retry it. The decision now waits on the RD-delete convergence budget and only counts a replica stranded if it is still unstamped when that runs out. It may also trail the placements this same request made. Then the cascade deleted nothing, the check found nothing, and the definition went over live replicas that would never be stamped. The replicas this request placed are now deleted by name first: a write reaches the API server whatever the cache has seen, so that step depends on no listing. The replay gate asked only about the parent group, so once an operator re-created it, as both corrections tell them to, a leftover whose replicas a failed rollback had reaped was answered 201 for a clone on no node. It now requires a whole leftover, and treats an unreadable group as a refusal rather than a pass, since the CSI retry heals itself and a false 201 binds a PV. Also: the rollback refuses over a snapshot on the target, the refusal rd d makes before the sweep the two share; the shell rollback checks its own delete instead of answering "rolled back" over a failed one; and a failed rollback names the step that failed instead of always blaming replicas.

All five fixed, plus the unpinned wait and sweep. The rollback now deletes the replicas this request placed by name before anything reads a listing, since a write reaches the API server whatever the cache has seen. That covers the direction where the placements aren't listed yet. The stranded decision waits on the RD-delete convergence budget, which covers the other one. Your lagging-store probe goes 500 again with the wait removed. The listed-and-stamped term is pinned by a double that stamps DELETE and keeps the replica listed. |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Every one of the eleven items from the last two rounds is closed, and I checked each by reverting the fix and watching the original defect come back. The wholeness gate this round added is where the new problems are: it reads a replica that is already being torn down as live, and it asks through a cache it never retries. Two more sit in the rollback's ordering.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:424, a leftover whose every replica is Terminating is answered 201 - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:410, a complete clone is told to delete itself when the replica listing trails - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:208, the snapshot refusal runs after the replicas it protects are already reaped - [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:258, a replica that lands after the cascade is waited on and never reaped - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:506, the doc comment says the opposite of the code beneath it - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:415, the volumes term of the wholeness check has no fixture - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:510, debris from a failure that never reached a rollback is reported as rollback debris
Checked and correct
All eleven items from the last two rounds are closed, each confirmed by reverting the fix: the both-directions cache read (the by-name reap of placed closes the create-lag orphan, pinned against the backend rather than the cache), the already-stamped term now reddening its own named test, the vol-less branch guard, the per-step Cause, the shell-path delete error, and the zero-replica leftover, whose probe from my last round no longer reproduces.
Caveats
- Ran: build, vet,
go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1(green), five probes with two controls, and mutations of the deciding terms. Every fence above is a command I ran myself for this review. - A refusal can now block about ten seconds inside a synchronous CSI call, the group retry plus the replica wait plus the delete-visibility wait. Unmeasured against the CreateVolume deadline.
git statusdoes not work in a partial clone of this repository, so cleanliness was checked withgit ls-files -m.

[MAJOR] a leftover whose every replica is Terminating is answered 201
cloneLeftoverIsWhole ends on len(replicas) > 0. Both rollback steps that keep a definition run after waitForReplicasAcceptedForDeletion returned nil, so their leftover's replicas are all stamped DELETE, and that stamp lasts as long as the satellite finalizer is held, which the store itself describes as the owning satellite being down: minutes, not milliseconds. Both printed corrections tell the operator to re-create the group, and a CSI retry inside that window then binds a PV to a clone being torn down. The sibling predicate replicasNotAcceptedForDeletion reads the same state the opposite way.
$ go test -buildvcs=false ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbe193R3' -count=1 -v
OBSERVED first attempt: status=500 (the rollback stopped at its snapshot refusal)

The control shows an unstamped leftover is still a legitimate replay, so this is not a complaint about the gate as such. Ask replicasNotAcceptedForDeletion rather than len().

[MAJOR] a complete clone is told to delete itself when the replica listing trails
Both reads in cloneLeftoverIsWhole go straight to the store, and ListByDefinition is informer-cache served. The RD informer that matched the marker is not the Resource informer answering this list, so RD-seen and replicas-unseen is the ordinary skew the cache-retry budget exists for. The parent-group read four lines below carries that budget; these two do not. The same read is also empty while a concurrent first attempt is still hydrating, since the marker is stamped before the volumes are.
$ go test -buildvcs=false ./pkg/rest/ -run 'TestProbe193R3ReplayRefusedWhileTheReplicaListingTrails' -count=1 -v

OBSERVED replay: status=409 message="clone target 'dst-trail' exists but is not a whole clone" correc="delete 'dst-trail' by hand, then clone again"

An operator who follows that correction deletes a healthy clone. Give both lists the budget the group read has, and say "not yet" rather than "delete it" until it is spent.

[MAJOR] the snapshot refusal runs after the replicas it protects are already reaped
The comment above it says "the same refusal handleRDDelete makes before its sweep". handleRDDelete states why the position matters: "Must run BEFORE cascadeDeleteResources, once the cascade stamps DeletionTimestamp on every replica, a failed RD-delete leaves the cluster half-torn-down (children gone, parent kept, snapshots orphaned) which no retry can reconcile." Here it runs after the by-name reap, after the cascade and after the stamp wait, so a snapshot that landed on the target is refused over replicas that are already going.

The refusal's own Correc, drop the snapshots and retry, arrives after the destructive part ran. TestRDCloneRollbackRefusesOverASnapshotOnTheTarget asserts definition survival and the Cause wording, so the current order and a corrected one both pass it.

[MAJOR] a replica that lands after the cascade is waited on and never reaped
waitForReplicasAcceptedForDeletion only re-reads. The cascade's passes are back to back with no sleep, so an auto-tiebreaker the controller stamps moments after placement, which this file's own comment says is not in placed, typically becomes visible during the wait, when nothing issues deletes any more.

--- PASS
101 reads saw it and none tried to delete it, though one Resources().Delete would have finished the rollback. The caller answers 500, the retry meets the wholeness gate, and only an operator gets it out.
The other half of the same gap is the safe direction and I did not reproduce it: if the cache never lists the newcomer, the check finds nothing stranded and the definition goes over it. One Delete inside the loop closes both.

[MINOR] debris from a failure that never reached a rollback is reported as rollback debris
The marker is stamped at RD-create, before hydration, and the error branch of cloneWithData writes a 500 without attempting a rollback. Every later retry then matches the marker, fails wholeness, and is told to delete by hand, though a leftover carrying this clone's marker with no volumes and no replicas is provably this operation's own debris and could be reaped without involving an operator.
The rollback's snapshot refusal ran after the by-name reap, the cascade and the stamp wait, so a snapshot on the target was refused over replicas that were already going. Its correction, drop the snapshots and retry, arrived after the destructive part had run and left the target half torn down. handleRDDelete refuses before its cascade for exactly that reason; the rollback now does too. The wait after the cascade only re-read. A replica that becomes visible after the cascade, such as an auto-tiebreaker stamped moments after placement, was watched for the whole budget and never told to go, and the rollback gave up over a replica one delete would have removed. The wait now deletes every unstamped replica it sees, once per replica, so a cache that trails the cascade's own deletes costs one extra call rather than one per poll. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The wholeness gate counted replicas already accepted for deletion as holding the clone. Those stay listed for as long as the satellite finalizer is held, so a CSI retry inside that window was answered 201 over a clone being torn down. The gate now reads the deletion stamp the rollback reads, and tells the operator to wait for the replicas to go rather than to delete what is already deleting. Its two reads also had no cache-retry budget while the parent-group read below them did. The informer that matched the marker is not the one answering the replica listing, so a complete clone whose listing trailed was told to delete itself. The reads now get the same budget, and a leftover that is still not whole after it is refused with a cause naming what is missing and a correction that holds for a first attempt still running as well as for one that stopped. The volumes term of the gate gets its own fixture, and the doc comment now says what the code does: an inconclusive read refuses. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The clone marker is stamped at RD-create, before hydration, and the error branch answered 500 without undoing anything. Every retry then matched the marker, failed the wholeness gate and was told to delete by hand a definition that was this request's own debris. When the failure comes after this request created the definition, the error branch now runs the same rollback the group guard uses. A definition this request did not create is never touched, since it may belong to another attempt still running. The rollback does not inherit the request context: the likeliest failure is that context ending, and a compensation on it would fail on its first call.

Route post-create restore failures through compensation.
materializeRestoredRD creates req.ToResource before hydration and replica placement. Those failures return *materialiseAfterCreateError, but the restore handler passes the error directly to writeStoreError. The partial definition can remain, and the next restore attempt receives AlreadyExists and returns 409.
Match only *materialiseAfterCreateError, then call rollBackMaterialisedRD with context.WithoutCancel and a bounded timeout. This wrapper identifies a definition created by the current request. The rollback already removes placed resources, cascades remaining resources, waits for deletion, and deletes the definition. Report rollback failures with rollbackFailureAdvice.

All seven fixed. Your Terminating-leftover probe doesn't reach that state the same way anymore: the snapshot refusal runs before anything is reaped now, so it leaves the replicas unstamped. The test gets to the all-stamped leftover through a failing definition delete instead. For the marker-only debris I fixed the source, not the replay. If materialise fails after this request created the definition, the request rolls back its own work before answering 500. That rollback runs on a detached context with a 30s budget, because the most likely failure there is the CSI caller's context ending. The replay still doesn't reap such leftovers. A first attempt that hasn't reached hydration looks the same, and deleting under it is worse than one manual step. Merge note: #190 adds an AlreadyExists tolerance to |

On the merge with #190
You flagged this yourself and you are right, so here is what I found when I tried it. The two branches do not auto-merge: five conflicting hunks in rd_clone.go, seven in snapshot_restore.go, and materializeRestoredRD has a different signature on each side. Whoever goes second resolves by hand.
The hazard is real and it is narrow. restoreParentRGSurvived hands rollBackMaterialisedRD(ctx, newRDName, placed) no way to know whether this request created the definition, and the rollback then cascades every replica under it, not just the ones in placed. Once #190's leftoverIsThisRestore tolerance is in, "materialise succeeded" can mean "adopted a leftover another attempt created", and the rollback reaps that attempt's work.
You already draw exactly this line on the other path: materialiseAfterCreateError excludes the RD-create failure by construction. Carry the same created-or-adopted signal to the post-write door and the merge order stops mattering.
Caveats
- Neither path has a pre-write check like
refuseRDCreateOnRGDeletedRace, so a group already gone costs a full materialise plus a cascade rollback on every CSI retry. Not exercised. - The replay gate refuses a marker-bearing leftover with volumes and no live replica where the previous binary answered 201. A clone over a reused snapshot with an empty
Nodeslands in that shape;placeRestoredResourcesstamps nothing there and says so. Not exercised. - Static review only: no cluster, no envtest assets in this tree.

[MAJOR] the RG-deleted rollback dies with the request
writeCloneMaterialiseFailed detaches its rollback (context.WithoutCancel plus cloneRollbackBudget) because the likeliest way a clone fails is the caller going away. The post-write door passes ctx straight through, and its rollback is the long one: waitForReplicasAcceptedForDeletion and waitForRDDeletionVisible each run up to cacheConvergeBudget. A CSI caller that gives up inside that window leaves the definition, its replicas and the dead-group parentage in place, and the 500 goes to a closed connection. The new replay gate then makes that state terminal rather than transient: every retry is refused and only an operator can clear it. restoreParentRGSurvived has the same shape at snapshot_restore.go:458.

[MAJOR] an unreadable group is reported as a deleted one, over a clone that is fine
parentRGSurvived separates NotFound (false, nil) from every other read failure (false, err), and this line collapses them into one refusal that states the group "no longer exists" and tells the operator to delete the clone by hand. Over a finished clone during an apiserver read blip, that advice destroys a working volume for a reason that is not true.

Refusing is right; the text is not. TestRDCloneReplayRefusesWhenTheParentGroupCannotBeRead asserts only that the status is not 201, so the wording is unheld. Split the branches: NotFound keeps this text, a read error says the group could not be read and gives "retry" as the correction.
What would change my mind: a reading under which parentRGSurvived cannot return a non-NotFound error at this call site.

[MAJOR] the restore call site drops the typed error this PR introduced, so its own partial work is never rolled back
materializeRestoredRD now wraps any failure after its RD create in materialiseAfterCreateError, precisely so a caller can tell its own partial work from someone else's definition. The clone call site uses it and rolls back. This one hands the same typed error to writeStoreError and rolls back nothing. The restore endpoint stamps its marker at create and, as the comments here say twice, has no idempotent-replay gate, so the leftover means every later attempt under that name meets AlreadyExists.

One transient VolumeDefinitions().Create failure, and the CSI restore-from-snapshot path has a permanently stranded PVC: the target name is deterministic and the driver retries CreateVolume forever.
This shape predates the PR, so it is not a regression and you may well want it out of scope:

[MINOR] the shell half swallows the inconclusive check the data half reports
Both halves of the guard treat an inconclusive parent-group read as "proceed", which is the right call. They differ in what the caller is told. cloneParentRGSurvived and restoreParentRGSurvived ride a maskWarn APICallRc back so the operator knows the safety net went uninspected; this branch leaves it in a log line nobody tails and cloneEmptyRDShell answers a clean 201. The argument the data path makes for surfacing it applies here word for word.
The RG-deleted rollback on the clone and restore doors ran on the request's context. It is the long compensation, waiting out two cache convergence budgets, so a CSI caller giving up inside it is ordinary, and the rollback then died with the caller: the definition stayed parented to a group that is gone and every retry was refused over it. Both doors now roll back on a detached context with the same budget the failed-materialise path uses, through one helper. materializeRestoredRD now reports whether it created the definition. The RG-deleted rollback cascades every replica under the name, so over a definition this request did not create, such as a leftover a tolerant door adopted, it now refuses and leaves it in place instead of reaping another attempt's work. The restore endpoint handed a failure after its own create straight to writeStoreError, leaving a marker-bearing definition that turned every retry under the same name into a 409. It now rolls that partial work back the way the clone path does, in its own envelope. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The replay gate folded a failed parent-group read into the deleted case and told the operator the group no longer exists and to delete the clone by hand. Over a finished clone during an API server blip that advice destroys a working volume for a reason that is not true. A read error is now its own 500 refusal saying the group could not be read, with "retry the clone" as the correction. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
Both halves of the clone's post-write group check proceed when the check itself fails.

Fixed, including the merge hazard.
Both post-write doors and the failed-materialise path share one rollback on a detached context with a 30s budget, with an abandoned-request test per door. The restore endpoint rolls back its own partial work too, so a retry after a hydrate failure gets 201 instead of a 409 forever. |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
The PR builds one detached, cascading rollback and routes two of its three post-write doors through it. The third, the volume-less clone, still compensates on the request's own context with a bare delete.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:550, the volume-less clone is a third post-write door and it kept the context the other two were moved off - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:80, the detached rollback budget outlives the process it runs in - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:753, the nolint rationale is no longer true - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:625, created-vs-adopted is the right line and nothing holds it
Caveats
- Exercised only against
store.NewInMemory(). The two production facts the rollback reasons about, a finalizer-held Resource that keeps listing with DELETE derived from its DeletionTimestamp (pkg/store/k8s/resources.go:554) and the finalizer surviving a missing parent RD (pkg/satellite/controllers/resource.go:1538), I confirmed by reading, not running. - No e2e lane races
rg dagainst a clone or a restore; the six green lanes and the piraeus interop lane do not reach this path. - The POST now blocks for the whole rollback before answering. I timed one at 5.5s, and against a group that stays deleted every CSI retry re-materialises and rolls back again, churning Resource CRDs until the group returns or the PVC goes.
- The replay gate answers 409 "delete it by hand" where it used to answer 201 (
cloneLeftoverNoReplicas,NoVolumes,Empty). Each was a clone that existed on no node, so the refusal is the honest answer, but it is a behaviour change worth a release note. - An empty
ResourceGroupNamereaches the new check as a no-op; covered incidentally by the bug020 clone suite, not by a case of its own.

[MAJOR] the volume-less clone is a third post-write door and it kept the context the other two were moved off
rollBackDetached exists because a compensation "is most likely to be needed when the caller has already gone". Two doors use it. The vol-less door, which rd_clone.go:508 calls "the vol-less half of the same guard", does not:
$ grep -rn 'rollBackDetached\|ResourceDefinitions().Delete' pkg/rest/rd_clone.go pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:82:// rollBackDetached runs rollBackMaterialisedRD on a context the request cannot
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:91:func (s *Server) rollBackDetached(ctx context.Context, rdName string, placed []string) error {
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:115: rollbackErr := s.rollBackDetached(ctx, rdName, placed)
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:290: err = s.Store.ResourceDefinitions().Delete(ctx, rdName)
pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:491: rollbackErr := s.rollBackDetached(ctx, newRDName, made.Placed)
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:322: rollbackErr := s.rollBackDetached(ctx, cloneName, made.Placed)
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:550: err = s.Store.ResourceDefinitions().Delete(ctx, cloneName)
cloneShellParentRGSurvived is called with r.Context() at rd_clone.go:926, and the window is not narrow: against a group that is gone, getRGWithCacheRetry spends its whole NotFound budget before answering, so the check is asleep for most of its own duration. I pointed your round-7 abandonAtTheRollback shape at this door, gating ResourceGroups().Get instead of the snapshot listing:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestDispatcherProbeShellCloneRollbackOutlivesTheRequest -count=1 -v
LEFTOVER: "shell-abandon-dst" outlived an abandoned request, parented to "grp-shell-abandon-gone" (err=<nil>)
--- FAIL: TestDispatcherProbeShellCloneRollbackOutlivesTheRequest (15.12s)
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 -v -run 'TestRDCloneRGDeletedRollbackOutlivesTheRequest|TestSnapshotRestoreRGDeletedRollbackOutlivesTheRequest'
--- PASS: TestRDCloneRGDeletedRollbackOutlivesTheRequest (1.53s)
--- PASS: TestSnapshotRestoreRGDeletedRollbackOutlivesTheRequest (1.54s)
Your own two tests are the control: the doors you moved survive the same abandonment, this one does not. The leftover is worse here than on the data path, because the shell has no marker and no replay gate, so every retry meets AlreadyExists and 409s until someone deletes it by hand, and the 500 that would have said so went to a caller that had already gone.
The delete is also bare where the shared rollback is not: no cascade, no stamped-replica wait, no waitForRDDeletionVisible. The comment at :515 justifies that with "no replicas stamped", which holds for what this branch created, but the shared helper earns its steps by not assuming that. Routing this door through rollBackDetached gets both properties and deletes the special case.

[MINOR] the detached rollback budget outlives the process it runs in
detachedRollbackBudget is 30s; the server's graceful-shutdown window is 10s (pkg/rest/server.go:386), and the rollback runs inside the handler on a context Shutdown cannot cancel. One rollback that spends its strand-wait budget already costs 5.5s, and the deletion-visible wait can add ~5s more:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 -v -run 'TestRDCloneRollbackKeepsTheDefinitionWhenTheCascadeOnlyAcceptedTheDeletes|TestRDCloneRollbackWaitsForItsDefinitionDeleteToBeVisible'
--- PASS: TestRDCloneRollbackWaitsForItsDefinitionDeleteToBeVisible (1.50s)
--- PASS: TestRDCloneRollbackKeepsTheDefinitionWhenTheCascadeOnlyAcceptedTheDeletes (5.50s)
A SIGTERM during a rolling restart cuts a slow rollback off mid-cascade, and the caller's connection dies with the process, so nothing names what was left behind. That is the state WithoutCancel was added to prevent, one failure mode over. Capping the budget under the shutdown window, or deriving both from one constant, closes it.

[MINOR] created-vs-adopted is the right line and nothing holds it
Created is what keeps a rollback off another attempt's work, and both !made.Created branches are unreachable today: materializeRestoredRD is the only producer and sets Created: true on every success. Standing alone that is fine, because the cache-served pre-existence read is backstopped by the authoritative Create returning AlreadyExists, which lands on the non-partial branch and touches nothing. What is missing is coupling. #190 edits these same two functions to adopt a leftover; a producer that fills materialisedRD without setting Created: false gets the cascade over a definition it did not create, and neither the compiler nor a test says so. A constructor that cannot be built without the flag, or a case that drives an adopted leftover through the real handler rather than the helper, would hold it.
The volume-less clone is the third post-write door of the same guard, and it compensated with a bare Delete on the request's own context. The compensation is needed exactly when the caller has gone, and the group check ahead of it spends its whole NotFound budget before answering, so an abandoned request left the shell behind, parented to a group that is gone. That shell carries no marker and no replay gate, so every retry then met AlreadyExists until an operator removed it. It now runs the shared detached rollback, which also stops assuming the definition is still bare: an auto-tiebreaker stamped underneath it in the meantime is reaped rather than orphaned. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The detached rollback ran for up to 30s inside a handler, on a context Shutdown cannot cancel, while the graceful-shutdown window was 10s and the controller manifest gave the pod 10s to terminate. A SIGTERM during a rolling restart therefore cut a cascade in half and killed the connection that would have named what was left behind, which is the state the detached context was added to prevent. The budget, the shutdown window and the termination grace of every manifest that serves REST now derive from one chain, checked by a test: 12s for a rollback that can spend both of its convergence waits, 15s of shutdown, 20s of grace. Cutting the budget instead was the other option and is the wrong one, since those waits are what keep the definition from going over replicas that were never stamped. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
Created-or-adopted is what keeps a compensation off another attempt's work, and it was a bool a producer could forget: a door that starts tolerating a leftover would hand the cascade someone else's definition by omission, with neither the compiler nor a test saying so. It is an unexported origin now, with two constructors as the only way to state it. A literal that skips them leaves the origin unstated, and that reads as not-this-request's, which is the safe side of the line. The two nolint rationales on the post-create returns named a route those errors stopped taking when the typed materialise error landed.

Do not mark a pre-seeded target as request-created.
seedAdoptedTarget creates adopt-dst before this branch. createdRD then marks that adopted definition as owned by the current request. The created=true assertion accepts deletion of a definition that another attempt could own.
Create the target through the request materialization path for the rollback case. Keep the pre-seeded target only for the adopted-definition case.

Fixed. The volume-less door goes through The budget chain runs one way: 12s rollback, 15s shutdown window derived from it, 20s termination grace in all three manifests, under kubelet's 30s default. I raised the window instead of cutting the budget, because a rollback legitimately spends two 5s cache-convergence waits and cutting it would drop a definition over replicas that are not stamped yet. A test reads the manifests and fails if any link stops fitting.
The stale nolint rationales now name the route the error takes. |

Verdict
NOT LGTM
Twenty-four of the twenty-seven items from the earlier rounds are closed, and the compensation machinery itself is in good shape: ordering, the snapshot refusal, the stranded-replica wait and the budget chain are all pinned, and the 12/15/20 chain is read out of the manifests by a test rather than restated. What blocks is one seam: the rollback was detached from the request, the read that decides whether to roll back was not.

Still open from my earlier rounds
Three. The orphan-snapshot sweep inside the rollback is held by nothing: deleting it alone leaves the full package green while its neighbour on the same two lines reddens a named test. The failed-rollback message still asserts a concurrent delete as fact, where the success path is careful to offer both readings. And the volume-less door kept its single-step envelope after gaining the four-step rollback, which is the "a fix for one item lands a defect in its neighbour" shape this branch has hit before.
Closed since the previous round
The volume-less door now cascades like its siblings rather than issuing a bare delete, the snapshot refusal runs before the reap instead of after it, a replica landing during the wait is reaped rather than waited on forever, the unreadable-group case got its own wording apart from the deleted-group one, and created-versus-adopted became a zero-value-safe method instead of a field a future door can forget to set.
Worth naming because it answers the question directly: the doors were counted rather than taken on trust. Five call paths through four sites go through the detached rollback, and mutating the context reddens one named test per door.
What was and was not executed
Build, vet, the full package suite and golangci-lint are green at head; six mutations of the compensation logic all redden their named tests.
Not executed: anything against a real apiserver. The budget leaves roughly two seconds for every write once its two five-second waits are counted, so a many-replica cascade on a slow apiserver spends it and returns a named step error instead of completing the rollback. Degraded and legible rather than silent, but only reasoned here.
Findings not anchored to changed lines

[MINOR] pkg/rest/spawn.go:151 spawn is the remaining door of this class, and the inventory comment reads as complete
spawnCreate parents a definition to the group with neither the pre-write refuseRDCreateOnRGDeletedRace (one caller, resource_definitions.go:356) nor a post-write check. The guard's own inventory says clone and restore "create definitions the same way and inherit the group the same way, and had NEITHER half", which reads as an inventory of the class.
Spawn creates a definition from the group the same way, on the path linstor-csi uses for ordinary CreateVolume, and the rg d side's post-delete re-walk reads dependents through the informer cache, which is exactly why the rd-create door needed its own belt. Same mutual-miss window, hottest endpoint.
If this is deliberately out of scope, the comment should say so and an issue should track it.

[MAJOR] the post-write group check runs on the request context, so the guard is inert on the path it was built for
rollBackDetached takes context.WithoutCancel(ctx); parentRGSurvived(ctx, ...) does not, at any of the three doors (rd_clone.go:299, rd_clone.go:531, snapshot_restore.go:444). getWithCacheRetry (cache_retry.go:93-97) turns a cancelled context into a non-NotFound error, and parentRGSurvived reads every non-NotFound error as "could not check", which the doors answer with a warning and a 201. server.go:265 hands BaseContext the runnable's own context, so the manager cancelling it on SIGTERM cancels every in-flight request context at that instant. Gating ResourceGroups().Get in the round-7 abandonment fixture and cancelling the server there:
OBSERVED: the clone answered 201
OBSERVED: after SIGTERM during the group check, 'sig-dst' is still there, rg="sig-grp-gone", 1 replica(s)
CONTROL: same fixture, released with no shutdown: answered 404, the clone was rolled back
A 201 means linstor-csi does not retry, so cloneLeftoverIsUsable never sees it either, and the volume is bound to a definition whose RG tier the placer drops without a word. The 15s window does not cover this: it bounds Shutdown, not the request contexts. An abandoned caller reaches the same branch without any shutdown.
Nothing in the suite pins the choice:
# rd_clone.go lines 299 and 531 only (636 is the replay gate), snapshot_restore.go line 444:
# - survived, err := s.parentRGSurvived(ctx, stampedRG)
# + survived, err := s.parentRGSurvived(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), stampedRG)
go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1
ok github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/rest 78.740s
Fix: derive one detached, bounded context per door and use it for the read and the rollback, widening detachedRollbackBudget by cacheRetryAttempts*cacheRetryDelay; a cancelled caller is not an inconclusive answer about the group.

[MINOR] the comment overstates what the window covers
It calls detachedRollbackBudget "the longest thing a handler can still be doing after its own caller has gone". rollbackSpawn (spawn.go:307-311) is also detached and carries no budget at all, and ctrl.GetConfigOrDie() sets no client timeout. Bound it the same way, or narrow the sentence.

The path there is this PR's own: placement succeeds on one node and fails on another, failedMaterialiseRefusal starts the rollback, the reap hits a satellite conflict (which this PR rightly calls an ordinary outcome), and a 500 goes out advising a manual delete. linstor-csi retries under the deterministic target name long before anyone reads that 500, and the retry answers 201 "already cloned" over a clone with fewer replicas than intended, with no follow-up autoplace on this path.
Filing this MINOR rather than MAJOR deliberately, and NOT proposing the obvious fix. Comparing live replicas against the snapshot's node list is exactly what the sibling branch tried and reverted, because it re-stamped a replica onto a node an operator had evacuated and flipped the status poll to a value linstor-csi cannot act on. So the discriminator has to be something else: the rollback knows it failed, and nothing records that on the definition. A prop written when a rollback gives up, and read here, would separate "finished" from "abandoned mid-rollback" without reopening either of those.

[MINOR] the volume-less door writes one hardcoded cause for a rollback that now has four steps
cloneShellParentRGSurvived hardcodes Cause: "the parent group is gone and deleting the cloned shell failed" and Correc: "delete '<name>' by hand". It never calls rollbackFailureAdvice, while the commit that routed this door through rollBackDetached gave it the shared multi-step rollback, so its failure can now come from any of four steps.
Observed on the existing fixture with the store swapped to one holding a snapshot on the target:
OBSERVED status=500
OBSERVED cause="the parent group is gone and deleting the cloned shell failed"
OBSERVED correc="delete 'dst-shell-del' by hand"
The advice is not merely imprecise, it is a dead end: handleRDDelete refuses rd d over snapshots with FAIL_EXISTS_SNAPSHOT_DFN. The step-correct advice would have named the snapshot instead. One line: cause, correc := rollbackFailureAdvice(err, cloneName), which also removes the special case.

[MINOR] the failed-rollback message asserts a concurrent delete the success path is careful not to assert
parentRGSurvived's own doc requires the wording to cover both readings, because a group that never existed (adoption, or data predating Bug 134) reaches the same branch. rgDeletedRaceCorrection honours that; rollbackFailedMessage does not, opening with "was deleted concurrently with the operation (Bug 174)" on all three doors.
The never-existed case is not exotic: the PR's own fixture seeds with no group at all and reaches this message. Observed by adding one t.Logf to TestRDCloneRollbackNamesTheStepThatFailed:
OBSERVED message="clone of resource definition 'src-rddel': resource group 'grp-rddel-gone' was
deleted concurrently with the operation (Bug 174) AND rolling 'dst-rddel' back failed: ..."
Nothing in that envelope offers the other reading, so the operator hunts a race that may never have happened. Two passes reached this independently.

[MINOR] the orphan-snapshot sweep in the rollback is held by nothing
Deleting s.sweepOrphanSnapshotsAfterRDDelete(ctx, rdName) alone leaves the full package green (go test ./pkg/rest/ -count=1 → ok 80.1s), while deleting its neighbour waitForRDDeletionVisible on the same two lines reddens a named test. Second signal: no test asserts a Snapshot row is gone after a rollback; the only snapshot double in the suite exists to trip the refusal, not to be swept.
Closable with a snapshot store that returns empty on the first ListByDefinition and a row afterwards, asserting the row is gone once the rollback returns.
The post-write doors detached their rollback from the request but not the group read that decides it. A caller that gives up, or a SIGTERM, since every request's context descends from the runnable's own, turned that read into a cancelled one, which parentRGSurvived can only report as "could not check", and the door answered 201 over a group that was gone. linstor-csi does not retry a 201, so the replay gate never saw it either. All three doors now take one detached, bounded context for the read and the rollback. The budget grows by the read's own cache retry, and the shutdown margin gives that back so the chain still fits the 20s termination grace the manifests set. Spawn's rollback gets the same bounded context: rollbackSpawn detached from its caller with no bound, so the graceful shutdown window derived from the rollback budget did not cover it, and the comment claiming the budget is the longest a handler can outlive its caller was not true. It runs on the same bounded context now. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The volume-less door kept one hardcoded cause and "delete it by hand" after it gained the shared four-step rollback, so a snapshot on the shell got advice `rd d` refuses. It uses the step-based advice the other doors give now. The failed-rollback message asserted the group was deleted concurrently, on every door, where the success path is careful to offer both readings: parentRGSurvived cannot tell a group deleted while the operation ran from one that was never there. It says both. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
A snapshot create can land between the rollback's refusal and its definition delete, and the sweep afterwards is what removes the row it leaves with no parent. Nothing pinned it: removing the sweep alone left the package green. A store that lands a snapshot right after the refusal's listing now holds it. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
Placement can succeed on one node and fail on the next, and the rollback that follows can stop on a satellite conflict, which this path treats as ordinary. The 500 advising a manual delete goes to a caller that retries under the same deterministic name long before anyone reads it, and the retry found the volumes and a live replica and answered 201 "already cloned" over a clone holding fewer replicas than intended. Comparing the replicas against the snapshot's nodes cannot tell that from a finished clone that was evacuated or scaled down since. The rollback is the one party that knows it gave up, so it now records that on the definition, with the step, and the replay refuses on the record with that step's advice. It is the last check before a 201, so the more precise refusals (still tearing down, group gone) keep their wording. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The guard's inventory named clone and restore as the doors that create a definition from a group and had neither half, which read as the whole class.

Fixed. The group re-check and the rollback share one detached, bounded context at all three doors now, so a cancelled caller or a SIGTERM no longer reads as "could not check". The budget grows by the re-check's own cache retry. I took that back from the shutdown margin, so the chain still fits the 20s termination grace, and the chain test still reads the manifests. Spawn's rollback runs on the same bounded context, which makes the window comment true. For the partially placed leftover I took your suggestion: when a rollback gives up it writes The volume-less door uses Spawn stays out of this PR. It compensates in a different shape, and the inventory comment now says so instead of reading as the whole class.

pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:663, the grouped branch of the abandoned-rollback gate has no fixture
- [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:145, nested detachedCompensation restarts the budget, so the documented chain is not the one the code runs
Still open from my earlier rounds
rg spawn still creates a definition under a group with no post-write re-check (pkg/rest/spawn.go:144). The comment half is fixed and rg_deleted_race.go:49 now says so plainly instead of reading as the whole class, and you have stated the deferral, so I am carrying it as a tracked gap rather than filing it again. It is the door linstor-csi's CreateVolume uses, so it is worth its own issue rather than a later round of this one.
Caveats
- Hermetic review. The cascade, the mark's Patch against a real apiserver and the window under a real SIGTERM are unit-level, not run on a cluster;
terminationGracePeriodSecondsis pinned only in the three in-repo manifests the test reads. cloneTargetPreexistsreads through the informer cache with no cache-retry while the mark lands by direct Patch moments earlier, so a fast CSI retry can read a bag predating it. Not blocking, but the gate is weaker than it reads.Integration testsis red, and your note that it has been red on every attempt is right:run_attempt=7. I read four of them. The failing test changes between attempts (TestGroupFRAutoPlace2ReachesUpToDate,TestGroupG/SnapCreateListDelete,TestGroupKWFHappyPath) and the durations cluster on the same 150s ceiling, which is the runner rather than the code; a regression would fail the same test each time. main's last Integration run carriesrun_attempt=2and its first attempt failed ongroup_f_test.go:114with the same message at 158.11s. One outlier I could not fit that pattern: attempt 3'sTestGroupKWFPoolDestroyedDropsFromPlacerfailed at 8.08s, which is not the timeout shape, once.- Tested on top of current main, not just against this branch's base. You are one commit behind, and it is #191, which reworked the store API
pkg/restcalls. Mergingd2c6112in and runninggo build ./...andgo test ./... -count=1came back with no failures, so the two are green together and not only apart.

[MAJOR] the abandoned-rollback mark is inherited, and the replay gate reads it as this definition's own
rollbackAbandonedKey is an ordinary RD prop, and props are copied forward: hydrateSnapshotFromRD puts the source's whole bag on the internal clone snapshot (pkg/rest/snapshots.go:954) and materializeRestoredRD puts the snapshot's bag on the new definition (pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:570, :575), where only BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot is overwritten afterwards. Any definition that ever carried the mark hands it to every clone and restore taken from it, and the snapshots step refuses before anything is deleted, so its own definition stays intact and usable as a source.
The clone answers 201; the next retry linstor-csi sends is refused 409 over a definition that is whole, with a live group and all its replicas. The PVC never binds, and the correction names snapshots the target does not have before "delete it by hand", which destroys a working volume for a reason that is not true. rd delete-property clears it; nothing says so.
The gate needs a signal the copy path cannot forge: strip the key at each site that copies props (snapshots.go:954, snapshot_restore.go:570/:575, rd_clone.go:957, and internal/cli/snapshot.go:330), or hold it where a clone cannot inherit it.

[MINOR] the abandoned-rollback mark cannot land in the two modes that need it
The mark is the memory the replay gate depends on, and it is written after the rollback has already failed, on the context the rollback just exhausted:
$ sed -n '145,150p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
rollbackCtx, cancel := detachedCompensation(ctx)
defer cancel()
err := s.rollBackMaterialisedRD(rollbackCtx, rdName, placed)
if err != nil {
s.markRollbackAbandoned(rollbackCtx, rdName, err)
A rollback gives up three ways. A store error returns at once and the mark lands. The budget expiring mid-cascade leaves rollbackCtx already past its deadline, and the k8s store's patch starts with a Get on that context, so the write cannot land. A SIGKILL runs nothing at all. The two modes that leave a genuinely half-torn leftover are the two where the memory of it is lost, and the in-memory store the fixtures use ignores the context entirely, so no test here can see the difference.
Writing the mark BEFORE the first destructive step, and clearing it with the definition on success, inverts that: a kill or an expired budget then leaves the mark in place, which is the only time it is load-bearing.

[MINOR] the grouped branch of the abandoned-rollback gate has no fixture
TestRDCloneReplayRefusesALeftoverWhoseRollbackGaveUp seeds its source through seedDeployedCloneSource, which stamps no resource group, so it reaches this gate only through the stampedRG == "" branch at :636. Replacing this line with return true leaves the test green:
$ go test ./pkg/rest/ -run TestRDCloneReplayRefusesALeftoverWhoseRollbackGaveUp -count=1
--- PASS: TestRDCloneReplayRefusesALeftoverWhoseRollbackGaveUp (0.09s)
ok github.com/cozystack/blockstor/pkg/rest 0.661s
Every door in this PR stamps a group, so the branch nothing holds is the mainline one. A grouped-source variant of that test, with the mark on the source rather than on the leftover, covers this term and also catches the inheritance defect.

[MINOR] nested detachedCompensation restarts the budget, so the documented chain is not the one the code runs
The three post-write doors now take a detachedCompensation for the group re-read and hand that same context to rollBackDetached, which takes another one. context.WithoutCancel drops the deadline along with the cancellation, so the inner context restarts the whole detachedRollbackBudget rather than getting "whatever of that budget the group re-read left", which is what the doc comment above this function says.
$ go doc context.WithoutCancel
func WithoutCancel(parent Context) Context
WithoutCancel returns a derived context that points to the parent context
and is not canceled when parent is canceled. The returned context returns no
Deadline or Err, and its Done channel is nil. Calling Cause on the returned
$ sed -n '/^func detachedCompensation/,+2p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
func detachedCompensation(ctx context.Context) (context.Context, context.CancelFunc) {
return context.WithTimeout(context.WithoutCancel(ctx), detachedRollbackBudget)
}
Measured on a door context left with 1s: the rollback's context came back with the full 12.6s.
Worst case inside the handler after the caller has gone is therefore the re-read plus a full budget, not one budget. shutdownMargin absorbs the difference at today's constants, because an RG read is served from the informer cache and costs the 400ms of retry sleep and nothing else. But groupRecheckBudget bounds those sleeps and not the reads, and TestRollbackBudgetCoversTheGroupRecheck asserts the comment's model rather than the code's, so nothing holds the real chain the manifests' terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 20 was derived from.
Worth adding to that: the worst case is bounded in practice only because ResourceGroups().Get never leaves the process. pkg/store/k8s/resource_groups.go:37 gives that type a cached client and no apiReader, unlike resources and nodes, so the re-read costs the retry sleeps groupRecheckBudget bounds and nothing else. If an uncached reader is ever wired in there, the chain becomes two full budgets against a 14.6s window and a 20s grace, with no test in the way.
Brings in #191, which reworked the store API pkg/rest calls. Merged cleanly, and the two build and pass together. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The mark is an ordinary definition prop, and a definition's props are copied wholesale onto every snapshot taken of it and from there onto every clone and restore. A healthy clone of a marked source inherited the mark, and the replay linstor-csi sends was refused with a correction that said to delete a working volume. Props that describe the object they sit on now stay behind whenever a bag is copied to another object: snapshot hydration on both doors, both branches of the restore materialisation, the volume-less clone, and the CLI restore. The key moves to pkg/store so the CLI shares it. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The mark was written after the rollback had failed, on the context the rollback had just exhausted. When the budget ran out mid-cascade the write could not land, and after a kill nothing ran, so the two leftovers that are genuinely half torn down were the ones the replay gate could not see. The rollback now marks the definition before its first step, a completed rollback takes the mark away with the definition, and a failure only refines it to the step it stopped at. Each door already held a detached, bounded context, and the rollback detached again inside it. WithoutCancel drops the deadline, so that restarted the whole budget and the chain the termination grace was derived from was not the one the code ran. The rollback now runs on the door's context, and a test measures the deadline it receives in place of the one that restated the constants. The grouped branch of the replay gate, the one every door reaches, gets its own fixture. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>

Fixed, and merged main in, since you'd already checked the two together. The mark lives in The mark goes on before the rollback's first step, as The grouped branch has its fixture. Detaching happens once per door. The rollback runs on the door's context and no longer re-detaches. I dropped the test that only restated the constants and measure the deadline the rollback hands the store instead. Integration is red again on the same 150s class ( |

Verdict
NOT LGTM. Last round's four blockers are closed and each reddens under mutation. Two things this round's own fixes brought: the mark is written through a cached read that cannot see the definition it marks, and TravellingProps strips one of the two props of the class it exists for.
Findings
- [MAJOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:196, the mark is written through a cached read that cannot see the definition yet
- [MAJOR]
pkg/store/local_props.go:40, the strip list covers one key andBlockstorRestoreFromSnapshotis the other
- [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:694, the mark gate decides on a props bag read before the gates ahead of it waited
- [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:467, a snapshot listing that failed is reported as a snapshot that exists
- [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:154, the budget chain reserves nothing for the two writes the mark now makes
Still open from my earlier rounds
rg spawn still creates a definition under a group with neither half of the guard, and rg_deleted_race.go:51 now says so rather than reading as the whole class. You have stated the deferral, so this is a tracked gap. It is the door CreateVolume uses, which is why it is worth its own issue rather than another round here.
Claim mismatches
[PARTIAL] "the same 150s class": this head fails two tests and only one of them is that class. TestGroupFRToggleDiskful2DisklessReapsTieBreaker times out at 2m30s as described. TestGroupKWFPoolDestroyedDropsFromPlacer fails in 7.40s on a placement assertion, which is not a timeout at all, and it also failed at 8.08s on the previous head, so it has now appeared twice on this branch and not once on #190. Neither test is in this PR's diff and neither reaches the code it changes, so I am not calling it a regression. But main cannot be cited for it either: main's four most recent Integration runs are all green and the newest is d2c6112 from 16 September, so the lane has not run there since. It is an uncharacterised second failure rather than the one you named.
Caveats
- The restore door writes the mark and nothing reads it: a retry over its leftover gets a bare AlreadyExists, silent about the state.
internal/cli/snapshot.go:306parents a new definition to the source's group with neither half of the guard.rg spawnis documented as out of scope; this door is not mentioned.- No envtest run: no CRD or
api/change, andwireToCRDRDSpecleaves the non-DRBD key inSpec.Props, read not executed.

[MAJOR] the mark is written through a cached read that cannot see the definition yet
The mark's own write reads a cache that cannot hold the object yet, and the same file defends against exactly that twelve lines above:
$ sed -n '82,86p' pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go
// Cache NotFound: re-read live before concluding the RD is absent, so a
// just-created RD not yet in this replica's informer cache is not
// reported as a spurious 404 to linstor-csi (see the apiReader doc).
return s.getUncached(ctx, name)
$ sed -n '246,250p' pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go
err := s.c.Get(ctx, types.NamespacedName{Name: Name(name)}, &existing)
if err != nil {
if apierrors.IsNotFound(err) {
return errors.Wrapf(store.ErrNotFound, "resource definition %q", name)
$ sed -n '196,197p' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, store.ErrNotFound) {
log.FromContext(ctx).Info("could not mark an abandoned rollback on its definition",
Get falls back to the live reader on cache-NotFound and says why. PatchResourceDefinitionSpec, which is how the mark is written, does not. markRollbackAbandoned then excludes ErrNotFound from its log by name, so a mark that did not land because the informer had not caught up is indistinguishable from one skipped because the definition is genuinely gone, and neither leaves a trace.
This commit is what put the write into that window:
$ git show 6d779d9e:pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go | grep -n 'markRollbackAbandoned'
150: s.markRollbackAbandoned(rollbackCtx, rdName, err)
169:// markRollbackAbandoned records on the definition that its rollback stopped,
173:func (s *Server) markRollbackAbandoned(ctx context.Context, rdName string, cause error) {
$ grep -n 'markRollbackAbandoned' pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go
154: s.markRollbackAbandoned(ctx, rdName, rollbackInProgress)
158: s.markRollbackAbandoned(ctx, rdName, rollbackStepName(err))
182:// markRollbackAbandoned records on the definition that its rollback started,
185:func (s *Server) markRollbackAbandoned(ctx context.Context, rdName, step string) {
Before, the single write happened after the rollback had run, including two cache-convergence waits, so the informer had seconds. Now the first write lands moments after this same request created the definition, which is the peak of the lag. Then the rollback proceeds unmarked, and if it dies where the second write cannot reach, a kill or the budget expiring, the leftover carries volumes and live replicas with no mark and the replay answers 201 over a partial clone.
Giving PatchResourceDefinitionSpec the fallback Get already has fixes it in one place.

[MAJOR] the strip list covers one key and BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot is the other
The docstring promises "the props that describe the object they were read from", plural, and the body removes exactly RollbackAbandonedProp. BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot is the same shape: it records where THIS definition's data came from, and three consumers read it off whatever definition carries it, for every volume of that definition (pkg/dispatcher/dispatcher.go:926,958 turns it into DesiredVolume.SourceSnapshot; pkg/rest/autoplace.go:853 pins the provider kind; pkg/placer/placer.go:1749 and constrainAutoplaceToSnapshotNodes constrain placement to the snapshot's nodes).
A vol-less definition carrying the marker is reachable: materializeRestoredRD stamps it unconditionally and hydrateVolumesFromSnapshot hydrates nothing from a zero-volume snapshot, which internal/cli/snapshot.go documents as a legal exit-0 outcome. handleRDClone routes a zero-VD source to cloneEmptyRDShell, which copies the source props through TravellingProps and never stamps a marker of its own, so the shell inherits the source's. Nothing happens at clone time because the shell has no volumes. Add one (vd c, or POST .../volume-definitions) and place a replica, and the satellite materialises it through RestoreVolumeFromSnapshot from the other resource's snapshot, with autoplace constrained to that resource's snapshot nodes and the pool pinned to its provider kind. No event, no condition, no log line.
The copy itself predates the PR (the merge base had maps.Copy(clone.Props, src.Props)), so landing this as its own issue is fair. What makes it this PR's business is that TravellingProps is now the one place the class is handled and the second member of the class is not in it.
Fix, narrow: delete(clone.Props, "BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot") right after the copy in cloneEmptyRDShell. Adding the key to the strip list is also safe: every other call site re-stamps its own value afterwards (pkg/rest/snapshot_restore.go:588, internal/cli/snapshot.go:340), and no consumer reads the marker off a snapshot.
A regression test belongs next to TestTheAbandonedRollbackMarkDoesNotTravel: clone a vol-less source whose props carry BlockstorRestoreFromSnapshot: "other:snap" and assert the shell does not.
What would change my mind: a guard that refuses to clone a vol-less definition carrying the marker, or a producer argument that no vol-less definition can ever carry one.

[MINOR] the mark gate decides on a props bag read before the gates ahead of it waited
existing is a single cache-served Get taken at the top of cloneTargetPreexists (pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:391); the store's Get falls back to the uncached reader only on NotFound, so a stale-but-present cached object is returned as is. Two gates then run on the way here, and each deliberately spends a cache-retry budget because its own read trails: assessCloneLeftover at :616, whose comment says "Deciding on the first read told a complete clone to delete itself", and parentRGSurvived at :648. cloneRollbackWasAbandoned then reads props captured before either waited.
markRollbackAbandoned writes through the API server, so the window in which a replay misses the mark is the informer's propagation lag, and it is widest exactly where the mark matters most: a compensation that gives up fast (a ListByDefinition or Delete error returning at once rather than after a 5s convergence wait) is followed by a CSI retry under the same deterministic name. TestRDCloneReplayWaitsForAReplicaListingThatTrails pins that skew for the replica listing; there is no equivalent for the mark, and the in-memory store the gate's tests use cannot exhibit it.
Either re-read the definition after the two waits, or give the mark the same cache-retry treatment the other two inputs to this decision already get.

[MINOR] a snapshot listing that failed is reported as a snapshot that exists
snaps, err := s.Store.Snapshots().ListByDefinition(ctx, rdName)
if err != nil && !errors.Is(err, store.ErrNotFound) {
return newRollbackError(rollbackStepSnapshots, errors.Wrapf(err, "list the snapshots of %q", rdName))
}Every non-NotFound error lands on the same step, so a timeout, an RBAC 403 and a decode failure all reach rollbackStepAdvice(rollbackStepSnapshots, ...), which states as fact that "a snapshot exists on the definition" and tells the operator to "delete the snapshot(s) of 'X' if they are not needed, then delete 'X' by hand". The same text becomes the abandoned-rollback mark the replay gate reads back and repeats.
Both readings fail closed, so this is the wording rather than the behaviour, but it is the one line of the refusal an operator acts on, and it points at an object that may not exist. Separate "could not ask" from "there is one": keep rollbackStepSnapshots for a non-empty list and give the read failure its own step whose advice says the snapshots could not be read.

[MINOR] the budget chain reserves nothing for the two writes the mark now makes
The chain documented at :100-114 derives detachedRollbackBudget as 0.6s of group re-read plus two 5s convergence waits plus 2s of "the rollback's own writes", and TestRollbackBudgetFitsTheShutdownWindow holds it down to the manifests' termination grace. Nothing in it is set aside for markRollbackAbandoned, which this commit moved to the front of the compensation and which also runs again at the end.
On the Kubernetes store each mark is a PatchResourceDefinitionSpec wrapped in retry.RetryOnConflict(patchRetryBackoff()), and patchRetryBackoff is 20 steps with a 1s cap (pkg/store/k8s/nodes.go:54-58), sized in its own comment for 50-way contention. wait.ExponentialBackoff sleeps without a context, and the patch carries MergeFromWithOptimisticLock, so every resourceVersion bump the reconciler writes on that definition is a conflict and another sleep. Under sustained conflict the first mark can leave the cascade less than the 10s its two waits are sized for, so it stops mid-cascade; and if the first write is what ran the budget out, it did not land either, which is the no-mark leftover this commit was written to remove.
Give both marks a short timeout of their own derived off the compensation context, and add the term to the chain so the test keeps it honest.
The abandoned-rollback mark is now written first thing in a compensation, moments after the same request created the definition, which is the peak of the informer's lag. The definition patch read only the cache, so a NotFound there dropped the mark as if the definition were gone, and a rollback that then died left a partial clone the replay answered 201 over. The patch now re-reads a cache NotFound live, the way Get already does. A stale object the cache does hold is harmless: the optimistic lock refuses the patch and the retry reads again. A mark skipped because the definition is genuinely gone is logged at V(1) so the two cases can be told apart. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
TravellingProps strips the props that describe the object they were read from, and handled only the abandoned-rollback mark. The restore marker is the other member of that class: the dispatcher, the placer and autoplace read it off whatever definition carries it. A volume-less clone copies the source's props and stamps no marker of its own, so a clone of a restored definition kept the source's. The first volume added to the shell later was then restored from somebody else's snapshot, on that snapshot's nodes, with nothing logged. Every restore door stamps its own marker after the copy and nothing reads it off a snapshot, so stripping it is safe at every call site. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The replay gate decided on props from one cache-served read taken at the top of the gate, before two other gates waited out their own cache lag. The mark is written through the API server by a rollback that may have given up moments before linstor-csi's retry arrives, which is exactly when the cache has not caught up, so the replay answered 201 over a leftover the rollback had abandoned. The gate now re-reads the definition from the API server right before it decides, through a new GetUncached on the definition store. Get falls back to the live reader only on a cache NotFound, so a stale object the cache does hold would come back as is. A read that fails refuses, since the replay cannot vouch for a clone it could not check. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
Every error from the rollback's snapshot listing landed on the same step as a snapshot that exists, so a timeout, a 403 or a decode failure all produced advice stating that a snapshot is on the definition and telling the operator to delete it. The same words became the abandoned-rollback mark the replay gate repeats. A failed listing now has its own step, whose advice says the snapshots could not be read. Both still refuse; only the wording the operator acts on changes. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
The budget chain set nothing aside for the mark, which now runs at the start of every compensation and again when one fails. The patch behind it retries on conflict with a backoff sized for heavy contention that sleeps without a context, so under a reconciler bumping the definition's resourceVersion the first mark could spend the convergence waits the cascade is budgeted for, and if it was the write that ran the budget out it did not land either. Each mark now runs on a short timeout derived from the compensation context and is not waited on past it. The term is added to the chain, which still fits the twenty-second termination grace the manifests give the pod, and the budget test checks the marks sit on top of the cascade rather than inside it. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <kvapss@gmail.com>
200ms covers a get and a patch only on an idle API server; under load the first mark would miss exactly when the cascade after it is cut short, which is the leftover the mark exists for.

Fixed. The cached patch. The marker. The gate. It now re-reads the definition past the cache after the two waiting gates, through a new The snapshot read failure has its own step, The budget. Each mark write has its own one-second deadline and is not waited on past it, so the conflict backoff cannot eat the cascade's waits. The chain is now 0.6 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 14.6s, plus 2s of shutdown, plus 3s of margin, which fits the 20s grace. The test checks the marks sit on top of the cascade rather than inside it.

Verdict
LGTM
Reviewed at 7a58e533 against merge-base d2c6112d, which is also current origin/main: nothing has landed on main since this branch was cut, so there is no skew to test against. go build ./..., go vet ./... and go test ./... -count=1 are green on this head in my own run.
All five findings from last round are closed, and each reddens a named test under mutation: the patch reads past the cache, TravellingProps strips both members of its class, the replay gate takes its own uncached read, the failed snapshot listing has its own step and wording, and the budget chain carries an explicit term for the two mark writes. The five notes below are an unread signal, two operator-facing wordings, one decisive read that is still cached, and one fix that is in the code without a test. None of them can name a harm that blocks, so they are follow-ups rather than another round.
Findings
- [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:156, the abandoned-rollback mark is written on five doors and read on one - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:725, a rollback that is still running is reported as one that gave up - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:705, the new read-failure refusal contradicts itself and has no fixture - [MINOR]
pkg/rest/rg_deleted_race.go:70, the guard's own read is the cached one, in the direction it exists to catch - [MINOR]
pkg/store/k8s/resource_definitions.go:328, the fallback that closes last round's blocker is not held by any test
Guard stacking
Twelve functions here have been changed by three or more commits, parentRGSurvived and its three callers among them. The signal is right and the fourth note is what it was pointing at: the mark and the replay gate were each given an uncached read this round, one per round of repair, and the guard that decides the whole thing was not. That is a reason to move the read rather than to add a sixth guard, and it is a follow-up because the state it admits is recoverable with one rd d.
Still open from my earlier rounds
rg spawn still parents a definition to a group with neither half of this guard, on the CreateVolume hot path, and the file has not moved this round. You have stated the deferral and the code says so at rg_deleted_race.go:51, so this stays a tracked gap and I am not re-filing it. It is worth its own issue rather than another round here.

[PARTIAL] the "server did not stop within 2s after cancel" flake "reproduces unchanged on the merge base". Three full pkg/rest runs at this head and three at d2c6112d were clean, so it occurred on neither revision, and instrumenting the test helper's stop() over 1072 samples at head puts the slowest rollback test at 591µs against its 2s budget. The symmetry claim has no observation behind it; say what the environment was instead.
[PARTIAL] "Four tests, two per endpoint": the suite is now eleven files across rounds 5 to 11.
Caveats
Integration testsis red on this head:TestGroupFRAutoPlace2ReachesUpToDatetiming out atgroup_f_test.go:114,diskful replica count never reached 2. You named it correctly as the 2m30s class, and the same test at the same line and message fails onmainatd2c6112d. Not this change.- Hermetic, no cluster: the cascade against a real apiserver with satellite finalizers is unexercised, so the 5s convergence budget is reasoned rather than measured.
- The CLI door for
rg ddeletes a group with no child check before or after, and the CLI restore parks a definition under a group that is gone. Both predate this PR, which is why the invariant is still held by nobody; the honest reading of this change is that it closes the REST doors, not the class.
Recommended follow-ups
- Give
resourceGroupsthe apiReader its three sibling stores carry, and read through it inparentRGSurvived. - Put the check in
rg ditself, with an uncached child list, and give the CLI door the same one. pkg/store/local_props.gokeepsBlockstorRestoreFromSnapshotunexported while eight non-test copies across six packages spell it; once #190 lands the two constants should become one.

[MINOR] the abandoned-rollback mark is written on five doors and read on one
rollbackAbandonedKey has one non-test reader, pkg/rest/rd_clone.go:715, reached only through cloneTargetPreexists, which only cloneWithData calls. So the clone-with-data guard and its materialise-failure sibling get the signal; the other three writers do not. cloneShellParentRGSurvived marks a shell whose props TravellingProps strips of the clone marker, so no replay can match it, and both restore doors sit on an endpoint whose own comment at snapshot_restore.go:338 says it has no replay gate.
This round added 2 * markWriteBudget to the chain, so on those three paths the two writes cost two seconds of the cascade's budget for state nothing reads. Either give the restore door the gate the mark was built for, or skip the mark where there is no reader.
Separately, the comment at :191 says a second "covers a get and a patch". On a freshly-created definition it is a cached get, a live get through the apiReader, and a patch, because the getForPatch fallback added this round fires exactly there. The direction of the change from 200ms to a second is right; the premise undercounts by one round trip.

[MINOR] a rollback that is still running is reported as one that gave up
rollbackInProgress is written before the cascade touches anything, so for the length of a compensation the definition carries in-progress. That spelling is not in rollbackStepNames, so rollbackStepByName answers known: false and the refusal reads "left when its rollback gave up (in-progress)" with "delete it by hand".
The window is reachable: assessCloneLeftover reads the informer cache, which lags the replica deletes the cascade has already issued, so a leftover can look whole seconds into a live cascade. A replay arriving there is pointed at a definition that is being torn down. Three functions down the same file sets the opposite standard for this exact ambiguity, in cloneLeftoverRefusal.
Refusing the replay is right; in-progress needs its own branch saying a rollback is either running or died without reporting, and to wait and retry rather than delete.

[MINOR] the new read-failure refusal contradicts itself and has no fixture
The gate taking its own uncached read is the fix I asked for and it is held by a test. Its error arm is not.
On a GetUncached error the message is "clone target 'X' exists, but reading it back to check for an abandoned rollback failed: " plus the error. The most reachable trigger is not a blip: a rollback that completed on one apiserver replica leaves a sibling replica's cache holding the definition, the cached gates pass, the live read answers store.ErrNotFound, and the operator reads "exists, but ... not found".
Nothing drives a failing GetUncached here in any test. The branch is fail-closed, so a later flip would answer 201 over a clone nobody could read, which is the invariant this change is about. Split the NotFound case into its own wording and add a double whose GetUncached errors.

[MINOR] the guard's own read is the cached one, in the direction it exists to catch
parentRGSurvived is the decisive check of this change: three post-write doors call it to decide whether the parent group is still there. It reads through getRGWithCacheRetry into ResourceGroups().Get, and that store has no uncached reader at all:
$ sed -n '37,39p' pkg/store/k8s/resource_groups.go
type resourceGroups struct {
c ctrlclient.Client
}
The three sibling stores that needed one carry it with a documented method on the interface:
$ grep -n 'Uncached(ctx context.Context' pkg/store/store.go
75: GetUncached(ctx context.Context, name string) (apiv1.Node, error)
189: GetUncached(ctx context.Context, name string) (apiv1.ResourceDefinition, error)
415: ListByDefinitionUncached(ctx context.Context, rdName string) ([]apiv1.Snapshot, error)
The retry budget does not help here, and your comment above it says why in its own words: it exists because the group "may have been created moments ago and the informer cache may still trail it". The opposite direction, the group already deleted and still in this replica's cache, gets nothing: the first cached read returns the stale group, the error is nil, and the function returns true at once. A clone whose group was deleted under it can then be told the group survived and answer 201 over a definition parked in a deleted group, which is the state this change exists to prevent.
I am not grading this a blocker. handleRDDelete reads no group, so rd d recovers the definition in one command, and the CLI rg d door admits the same state routinely today. But it is the one read in this design that still asks the cache, and the fix is the one you applied twice this round elsewhere.

[MINOR] the fallback that closes last round's blocker is not held by any test
getForPatch now re-reads live on a cache NotFound, which is exactly what last round's blocker asked for, and the docstring says why. Nothing fails if it is removed: neutralising the fallback so the cached miss returns store.ErrNotFound straight away leaves every package green.
So the behaviour is correct and unpinned, and the next refactor of this function cannot be told it broke the thing it was added for. A store double whose cached Get misses while the live reader holds the object, asserting the patch lands, is a few lines and it is the same shape as the doubles already in pkg/store/k8s.
Brings in the resource-group race guards (#193) and combines them with this branch's replay and resume of clone and restore leftovers. materializeRestoredRD now reports whether it created the target or adopted this operation's own leftover. Only a created target is rolled back on a later failure; an adopted one is left for the replay gate, and its group is checked as the group it carries rather than the one the source has moved to since. The snapshot read-back withdraws only what this request created. On the clone path, a marked leftover passes the parent-group and abandoned-rollback gates before it is either replayed as finished or resumed. Wholeness stays the finished/unfinished/foreign assessment, which now treats a leftover whose every replica is being deleted as tearing down and refuses it. The tests that expected a refusal over an unmarked partial leftover now expect the resume, and a 201 only over a clone it made whole. A finished restore replay runs the group guard as well.

Split out of the #190 review round on IvanHunters' report, because the fix belongs to neither defect that PR is about and its compensation is not the one it looked like.
POST /v1/resource-definitionschecks the resource group twice: once before the write, and once after it, rolling the definition back when a concurrentrg dwon the race. The reason for the second check is that the result is not loudly broken — a definition pointing at a group that no longer exists lists fine and places badly, because the placer's Controller→RG→RD prop-inheritance walk drops the RG tier without a word, taking auto-place, auto-diskful,place_countobservability and rebalance scheduling with it.rd cloneandsnapshot-restore-resourcecreate definitions the same way and inherit the group the same way. Neither had either half of that guard.Why the compensation is not RD-create's
RD-create rolls back with a single
Delete, which is right for what it created: a bare definition. By the time the group can vanish on these paths the target has volumes hydrated from the snapshot and replicas stamped on the nodes that hold it, so a loneDeleteleaves replicas pointing at a definition that is gone — the orphan shaperd dexists to avoid. The rollback here is that cascade: replicas first, then the definition, which carries its inline volumes with it.The internal snapshot a clone took is deliberately left behind. It may be the only copy of something, and deleting one is the operator's decision, not this endpoint's — the same stance the clone's snapshot reuse takes.
The re-read carries the standard cache-retry budget, for the reason
refuseRDCreateOnRGDeletedRacedoes: on the CreateVolume hot path the group may have been created moments ago and the informer cache may still trail it, and mistaking that lag for a delete race would roll back a perfectly good clone. A realrg dstill trips it once the budget is spent.Testing
Four tests, two per endpoint: the rollback and its positive control. Each was checked by reverting the fix and confirming the named test goes red — including the cascade, where dropping only the replica half leaves a replica behind and the test says so. The rollback tests also assert what must survive: the source definition, and the snapshot.

Independent, and based on
mainrather than stacked: the guard needs neither the clone-body work nor the resume work #190 does. If both land, the group a clone pins for itself (added in #190) is validated before the write by that PR and after it by this one, which is the pair RD-create has.Summary by CodeRabbit
