fix(nvca): make no-GPU recovery registration-safe - #1205
Conversation
Keep readiness unhealthy and creation queues paused until GPU discovery is followed by a successful ICMS registration and credential installation. Retry transient failures while preserving liveness. Serialize recovery and periodic registration across inventory capture and response application so stale credentials cannot overwrite recovered state. Tests: focused graceful-no-GPU lifecycle and response-ordering regressions; full pkg/nvca suite; focused race run. Signed-off-by: Mike Camp <mcamp@nvidia.com>

A stalled ICMS registration could keep recovery and credential renewal blocked, while persistent outages may cause repeated registration attempts at the polling cadence; this is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

507-510: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winLog the recoverable retry path as a warning.
The registration failure here is a recoverable retry path. The worker retries at the GPU poll cadence. Log it at warning level so a transient ICMS failure does not raise an error-level alert on every poll.
Proposed change
log.Info("Registering with ICMS after GPUs became available") if _, err := a.RegisterWithICMS(ctx); err != nil { - log.WithError(err).Error("Failed to register with ICMS after GPUs became available; will retry") + log.WithError(err).Warn("Failed to register with ICMS after GPUs became available; will retry") return a.gpuMonitor.HasGPUs() }As per path instructions: "classify recoverable retry paths as warnings".

Accepted the CodeRabbit retry-log severity finding in 4e0f23f. The API registration failure remains retryable with the original error attached, but the recoverable poll path now logs at warning level instead of error. Regression evidence:
I also rechecked the automated docstring note. The newly added production helpers are unexported; the applicable repository guidance requires documentation for exported symbols, so no boilerplate comments were added. |

185-193: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider capped backoff for registration retries.
The retry wait is a fixed
retryInterval, which equalsa.GPUPollInterval. If ICMS registration fails persistently while GPUs stay present, the manager calls ICMS at the poll cadence for as long as the agent runs.GPUPollIntervalis operator-configurable and can be set to a few seconds, so a sustained ICMS outage produces continuous retries from every agent.Add a bounded exponential backoff that starts at
retryIntervaland caps at a fixed ceiling. Reset the backoff after a successful registration or after a new GPU state change.♻️ Proposed backoff for the retry wait

TL;DR
Make the GracefulNoGPU path stay alive but NotReady until GPU discovery is followed by successful ICMS registration and queue credential installation.
Additional Details
GPU registration coordination now lives in a dedicated
gpuRegistrationManager. Its context-aware gate serializes recovery, periodic registration, and credential renewal while allowing a canceled waiter to exit before running side effects.For the Reviewer
Please focus on:
For QA
Validated with focused tests, the full NVCA Bazel suite, and a disposable local k3d deployment through zero GPU, simulated GPU arrival, transient registration failure and recovery, and last-GPU removal. Physical-GPU validation remains a QA follow-up.
Public-safe verification
Extended on 2026-08-31 in a fresh disposable local k3d cluster. The current PR head is
d5e4245b. Its seven commits (b3b2cf16,4e0f23f4,8fdd6cf6,0333bbb9,551d084f,79814561, andd5e4245b) applied cleanly to then-currentorigin/mainat4dc4a4fd, producing merge-equivalent test tree7f725948. Both the agent and operator images were built from that exact tree and imported into the cluster. Local fixture names and image references are normalized below.Representative commands:
The PR head's focused Bazel targets passed (
2/2), and the full NVCA Bazel suite passed (71/71) after its prescribed envtest bootstrap. On the current merge-equivalent tree, the focused race-enabled manager and generated-Deployment tests also passed. They deterministically cover cancellation while queued, bounded/capped retry delays, GPU-arrival wake/reset, timer cleanup, preservation of deliberately slower retry intervals, opt-inRecreate, and the unchanged non-opt-in default strategy. The repository fake-GPU operator then exercised the live lifecycle; no physical GPU hardware was involved.Image provenance was checked from both sides: executing
--versionin each running container produced the same merge-tree build tag as the corresponding locally built image. The agent reportedmr-7f725948; the operator reportedmr-7f725948+7f725948-dirty, where the dirty suffix reflects only local fixture files. The tracked production diff remained the seven clean PR commits applied to4dc4a4fd.restartCount=0restartCount=00 -> 4 -> 0, repeated three times503 -> 200 -> 503each cycleRecreate; sampler saw at most one nonterminal pod and one active ReplicaSet; replacement queue started pausedThe outage produced manager attempt/failure pairs at
21:11:56 -> 21:12:41,21:14:11 -> 21:14:56, and21:17:11 -> 21:17:56. End-to-end spacing includes serialized periodic registration work; deterministic timer tests separately assert the requested initial, doubled, and capped delays. After service restoration, a periodic credential refresh completed while readiness correctly stayed 503; the manager's later successful registration changed readiness to 200.The same pod completed three full
503 -> 200 -> 503cycles with both containers atrestartCount=0. A legitimate operator-managed resource change then exercised a zero-GPU rollout. A 250 ms sampler observed the old pod terminating at21:40:19.455, zero nonterminal pods at21:40:19.865, and the replacement Pending at21:40:20.264; maxima were one nonterminal agent pod and one active ReplicaSet. The replacement returned/version=200,/livez=200,/healthz=503, with queues paused and no restart. Deployment progress intentionally remains incomplete while the singleton is NotReady, butRecreatedoes not require manual ReplicaSet intervention and does not overlap agents.Live mutual-exclusion testing used the existing agent merge-config control to shorten credential renewal to 15 seconds and enable bounded trace logging. With the registration service unavailable, renewal held the gate from
21:59:18to22:00:03; GPU arrival occurred at21:59:21. Recovery registration then held the gate from22:00:03to22:00:48, while the next renewal event waited. Its total1m30sduration accounts for gate wait plus its own failed request. After service restoration, renewal completed at22:02:18.576, manager registration completed at22:02:19.488, and the queued renewal completed at22:02:19.515. Final probes were/version=200,/livez=200,/healthz=200, with four fake GPUs, one active ReplicaSet, and both containers atrestartCount=0.Local-only fixture adaptations:
GracefulNoGPU, used the repository fake-GPU device plugin, and pointed the compute-plane fixture at the locally built images.Physical-GPU validation remains a QA follow-up. All arrival/removal evidence above uses the repository's fake-GPU operator. Cancellation remains deterministic race-enabled automated evidence; mutual exclusion was additionally exercised live through renewal/registration contention.
