What this PR does

Adds docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md, recording why system components carry memory limits — which is not recoverable from the values alone, and is the kind of thing that gets "cleaned up" by a well-meaning future change.

The Talos userspace OOM handler (v1.12+) selects victims by ranking cgroups that lack memory.max. Three consequences are each easy to get wrong independently: only a limit grants immunity (a request just moves BestEffort to Burstable, which under strictCgroupClassOrdering means "killed second"); every container in the pod needs one, init containers included, because kubelet only sets pod-level memory.max when they all have it; and PriorityClass — system-node-critical included — has no effect whatsoever, because the handler walks cgroupfs and never talks to the API server. That last one is the trap, since setting it looks like a fix.

The page also covers the two installer knobs and the constraint that makes them dangerous to lower (a defaulted limit below a container's own request fails admission), how to verify a pod cgroup actually carries memory.max rather than trusting the QoS class, what is deliberately left uncovered (Kubernetes static pods are Talos-managed; a handful of vendored containers expose no upstream resources knob), and how to relax the global-PSI backstop clause of the trigger for a cluster that trips it persistently.

Ordering note: this documents behaviour introduced by the LimitRange and DaemonSet PRs, so it should not merge ahead of them.

Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff. This adds one file under docs/operations/, alongside the existing pages there; nothing in the map covers that path, and the website keeps its own copy of user-facing documentation rather than generating it from this directory. A maintainer may still want a version of this on the website, which is a judgement call rather than a forced follow-up.

  • No downstream repository is affected by this change

Release note

docs(platform): document why system components carry memory limits, how the Talos userspace OOM handler selects victims, how to tune or disable the system-namespace LimitRange, and why PriorityClass does not influence any of it.

The new guidance could cause operators to lower system defaults without detecting requests in future workload templates, resulting in admission failures, while some coverage and verification instructions are misleading for valid workloads. The documentation should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

Add docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md, recording why system
components carry memory limits. That reasoning is not recoverable from
the values themselves, and is exactly the kind of thing a well-meaning
later change removes as redundant.

The Talos userspace OOM handler (v1.12+, enabled by default) selects
its victim by ranking cgroups that lack memory.max. Three consequences
are each easy to get wrong on their own: only a limit grants immunity,
since a request merely moves BestEffort to Burstable and under
strictCgroupClassOrdering that means "killed second"; every container
in the pod needs one, init containers included, because kubelet sets
pod-level memory.max only when all of them have it; and PriorityClass,
system-node-critical included, has no bearing on it whatsoever,
because the handler walks cgroupfs and holds no Kubernetes client.
That last one is the trap, since setting a priority looks like a fix.

The page also covers the two installer knobs and the constraint that
makes them dangerous to lower (a defaulted limit below a container's
own request fails admission), how to confirm a pod cgroup really
carries memory.max rather than trusting the QoS class, what is
deliberately left uncovered, and how to relax the global-PSI backstop
clause of the trigger on a cluster that trips it persistently.

Every Talos claim is checked against the siderolabs/talos v1.13.6 tag,
which is the version packages/core/talos currently ships, and every
Cozystack claim against the tree.

Ordering: this documents behaviour introduced by the system-namespace
LimitRange and the node-DaemonSet resource changes, so it should not
merge ahead of them.

# System Component Memory Limits

Cozystack gives every container in a system namespace a memory limit, and sets explicit requests and limits on the node DaemonSets. This page explains why that is not merely resource hygiene, how to tune it, and what it deliberately does not cover.

Make the pre-change request check complete.

This loop queries only existing Pods. It misses scaled-to-zero workloads and future Pods whose requests are defined in workload templates. An operator can lower the default and then receive admission failures despite this check. Query workload templates, including Deployments, DaemonSets, StatefulSets, Jobs, CronJobs, and relevant custom resources, or state that this command is only a partial check.

Prefer fixing the workload that is generating the pressure. Persistent triggering means a pod is sitting at its memory ceiling and reclaiming constantly, and raising that pod's limit addresses the cause rather than the symptom.

Qualify the final pressure diagnosis.

Line 140 says persistent triggering means that one pod is at its memory ceiling. The trigger also includes System QoS pressure and a global-PSI backstop. Persistent triggering does not prove that one pod is at its limit. Change the statement to describe this as a possible cause and recommend inspecting the trigger context first.

Verdict

LGTM with non-blocking notes

Docs-only PR documenting the memory-limits work in #3494 (operator LimitRange) and #3495 (DaemonSet requests/limits). Content is technically sound: the claims about the Talos userspace OOM handler's QoS-based victim selection, LimitRange semantics, the QoS-class distinction from priority, and the verification commands all match documented Kubernetes/Talos behaviour, and the doc appropriately calls out its scope limits (static pods, components without resource knobs). Only minor craft notes below.

Findings

[NIT] docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md — two fenced code blocks omit a language specifier.

The CEL scoring-expression block (~line 13) and the trigger-expression block (~line 119) open with a bare ```. Add a language (e.g. ```text) so markdownlint MD040 passes and rendering is consistent with the yaml block later in the file.

[NIT] docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md — inconsistent link-text format in one sentence.

The first reference is [siderolabs/talos#12602](...) while the next two in the same sentence are shortened to [#12632](...) / [#13725](...). Make all three consistent.

Note

The specific numbers documented here (4Gi limit / 32Mi request defaults, the per-DaemonSet sizing) are the same values under review in #3494 and #3495. If those change during review, this doc must be updated in lockstep; otherwise it will drift from the shipped behaviour.

Approving. I checked every mechanism claim and every number in this page against the sources they describe, and they hold. On one point the page is more accurate than the PR description of the LimitRange change it documents, and on another it is ahead of the published upstream documentation.

Verified against source

Both CEL blocks match siderolabs/talos at v1.13.6 verbatim: the ranking expression against DefaultOOMCgroupRankingExpression and the trigger against DefaultOOMTriggerExpression, both in pkg/machinery/constants/constants.go. Worth knowing that the published v1.13 documentation page still shows the older single-clause trigger (memory_full_avg10 > 12.0 && d_memory_full_avg10 > 0.0 && time_since_trigger > duration("500ms")), so anyone cross-checking this page against that page will think it is wrong. It is the page that is stale. A sentence pinning the claim to the constant rather than to the docs page would save the next reader that detour.

strictCgroupClassOrdering defaulting to true is confirmed in pkg/machinery/config/types/runtime/oom.go.

"A cozystack-system-defaults LimitRange does reach kube-system, since cozystack-scheduler installs there" is correct: packages/core/platform/sources/cozystack-scheduler.yaml installs into kube-system. The accompanying point about static pods bypassing it is also right, since kubelet builds those from disk and never goes through API-server admission.

"kube-ovn is absent from that list because its vendored chart already sets both" holds for its long-running containers. Its hostpath-init and install-cni init containers do not carry limits, and the page discloses exactly those two separately, so the two statements are consistent rather than in tension. For what it is worth, hostpath-init shows up on six kube-ovn workloads including three Deployments, not only the node DaemonSets.

The DaemonSet enumeration matches what the charts actually render. I checked each one by rendering and listing containers with no memory limit, and the list in this page is accurate, including the deliberate omissions.

The tenant paragraph is right where the LimitRange PR's description is wrong. This page correctly says tenant-range-limits renders only when resourceQuotas is configured and that it is empty by default; that PR's body says it applies to every tenant namespace. packages/apps/tenant/templates/quota.yaml gates both objects behind {{- if .Values.resourceQuotas }} and the value defaults to {}, so this page has it. Since the two texts disagree, it is worth making sure the other one gets fixed rather than left as the record.

One narrowing worth making

The page inherits the framing that "a defaulted limit below a container's own request is rejected at admission, and the pod simply will not start", presented as the constraint that makes lowering the knob dangerous. That is true, but the route to it is narrower than the surrounding text implies.

LimitRanger is position 6 in the API server's AllOrderedPlugins and MutatingAdmissionWebhook is position 35, so the LimitRange defaults a container before any mutating webhook sees the pod. A workload whose request is raised by an admission webhook therefore already carries the defaulted limit when that webhook runs, and in the VPA case the limit is rescaled proportionally rather than left behind. The rejection is reachable by lowering the limit below a request a chart declares statically, which is exactly the case the tuning section is about, and not by a webhook raising one afterwards.

Since the whole point of that section is telling an operator what is safe to lower and why, tying the warning to the case that can actually happen makes it more useful, not less.

Ordering

Agreed that this should not lead. Worth adding that the DaemonSet change does stand alone: measured against the rendered charts, seven of the eight workloads it touches get pod-level memory.max without the LimitRange change in place. The reverse ordering is the one to avoid, since the LimitRange landing first gives every system component a 32Mi default request while components like cilium and the linstor satellite really peak in the hundreds of megabytes, which is a worse scheduling signal than none until the fitted requests arrive.

## What this PR does

System components now get a default container memory limit, so their pod
cgroups carry a `memory.max` and drop out of the Talos userspace OOM
handler's victim set. `cozystack-operator` maintains a LimitRange named
`cozystack-system-defaults` in every system namespace it reconciles.

The Talos handler (v1.12+) scores cgroups with `memory_max.hasValue() ?
0.0 : {Besteffort: 1.0, Burstable: 0.5, ...}[class] * memory_current`
and drops everything that scores zero. Only a memory limit sets
`memory.max`, so only a limit takes a pod out of the candidate set. A
request just moves a pod from BestEffort to Burstable, which under the
default `strictCgroupClassOrdering: true` still means killed second.
`PriorityClass` does nothing here, because the handler reads cgroupfs
and never talks to the apiserver. Victim selection is also unrelated to
the trigger, so a tenant workload thrashing against its own limit can
drive node memory pressure while a system component with no limit is
what gets killed.

An audit of a running cluster found around 70 workloads across ~30
packages with at least one container missing a memory limit. Per-chart
resources would not cover that set, and would not keep covering it as
packages are added. So the LimitRange is written by
`reconcileNamespaces`, which already creates these namespaces and
already tells system from tenant. It also covers init containers, which
#3495 can't reach: one of them without a limit leaves the pod cgroup
without `memory.max`, whatever the main containers declare.

Tenant namespaces are skipped. Where the tenant chart's own
`tenant-range-limits` exists (only when the operator configured
`resourceQuotas`), a second LimitRange next to it would leave the result
to the order LimitRanger iterates them. Where it doesn't exist, a tenant
namespace is not the place for the platform to impose a default.

### Why the default is 32Gi

The handler grants immunity for `memory.max` existing at all, whatever
its value. So the ceiling doesn't need to be fitted, and 32Gi is high
enough that nothing plausibly reaches it. A ceiling low enough to bind
would turn a rare pressure-driven kill into a deterministic one for any
component whose real usage nobody measured. This repo already has one
such case, recorded in the `vertical-pod-autoscaler` values, where a
110Mi limit OOM-killed the updater and failed HelmReleases with it.
Scheduling is unaffected, since pods are scheduled against requests and
the paired default request is 32Mi. An operator who wants the ceiling to
bind can lower it, per component in that component's chart or fleet-wide
with the knob, once real usage is measured.

### When the default is withheld

A default below a container's own request makes that pod impossible to
admit, so the operator checks before it applies. It scans Deployments,
StatefulSets, DaemonSets, CronJobs, Jobs and Pods in the namespace, init
containers included, for a container that requests more than the
configured limit and declares no limit of its own. If it finds one, it
withdraws the managed LimitRange and records a hold in the
`operator.cozystack.io/system-memory-state` annotation on the Namespace.

The hold does not clear by itself when the blocker disappears, because
an empty scan looks the same as a pod between deletion and recreation.
Lowering a previously applied limit also creates a hold, even with no
visible blocker, because LimitRanger writes the defaulted limit onto
admitted pods and the scan can no longer tell which containers declare
one. A cluster administrator releases the hold by copying the
`<hold>:<target>` token from the state into the
`operator.cozystack.io/system-memory-ack` annotation. The token is used
once and only for that hold and target. If a blocker is still visible,
the token is rejected and the hold stays. Package reconciles are
scheduled at least every five minutes, so an acknowledgement takes
effect on a quiet cluster too. The reason and the token also appear in
the operator log under `withholding the default container memory limit`.

### Namespace another LimitRange already governs

If a system namespace already has a LimitRange that says anything about
memory, at the Container or the Pod scope, the operator writes nothing
there and withdraws what it wrote before. A second default leaves the
effective value to iteration order. A foreign `max` below this default,
a `min` above the default request or a `maxLimitRequestRatio` rejects
pods outright, which takes out a whole namespace. At the Pod scope the
collision can't be decided in advance, because it depends on how many
containers a future pod has. A LimitRange that bounds only cpu or
storage coexists normally. A same-named LimitRange without the
operator's managed-by label is treated as foreign and left alone.

This matters most in `kube-system`, which is in scope because
`cozystack-scheduler` installs there, and where a distribution's or an
administrator's own LimitRange is likeliest to sit.

### Disabling

Setting `cozystackOperator.systemNamespaceMemoryLimit` to `0` disables
the feature. On the next reconcile the operator removes every LimitRange
it owns cluster-wide, found by the managed-by label. While the feature
is on, it also removes its LimitRange from namespaces no active Package
targets any more. The safety state on the Namespace stays in both cases.

### Docs

`docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md` landed in #3496 ahead of this
code, so main describes a `4Gi` default and installer values that do
nothing yet. The page is corrected to the 32Gi default and now describes
withholding, the acknowledgement, and the foreign LimitRange rule.

### Not in this PR

linstor policy. #3824 extends the controller's existing exemption from
limits to the satellite, and a linstor limit here would contradict it,
so linstor stays with that PR.

The scan reads six workload kinds through `APIReader`, uncached, on
every reconcile of every system namespace. That cost is tracked in
#3977, since the system namespace set isn't known when the cache is
built and the right fix depends on a reconcile-rate measurement nobody
has taken.

### Verification

`go vet` and `go test` pass for `cmd/cozystack-operator` and
`internal/operator`, and `helm unittest` passes on the installer chart
for the knobs unset, set, and the limit at `0`. The reconciler tests
cover withholding on an oversized request, the hold surviving the
blocker's removal, the hold on a lowered limit, acknowledgement and
token rejection, every memory field of a foreign LimitRange at both
scopes, ownership by label, the disabled sweep, and a deleting Package
not creating policy.

The withhold design has not been run on a live cluster yet. An earlier
design of this PR was, and that run does not carry over.

### Screenshots

Not a UI change.

### Downstream repositories

I walked the trigger map against the diff.
`packages/core/installer/values.yaml` gains two keys, but the
`ansible-cozystack` trigger is for a required key or a rename of one the
role passes, and these are new, optional and default to `""`, so the
role is unaffected. Nothing else in the map is reached by the Go
changes, the operator template or the page.

### Release note

```release-note
feat(operator): system namespaces now get a default container memory limit through a LimitRange maintained by cozystack-operator, which keeps system components out of the Talos userspace OOM handler's victim set. Tune it with cozystackOperator.systemNamespaceMemoryLimit (default 32Gi) and cozystackOperator.systemNamespaceMemoryRequest (default 32Mi); set the limit to 0 to disable it. The default is far above any real working set on purpose, because the handler grants immunity for a memory.max existing at all, not for its value. A namespace with a container that requests more than the limit and declares no limit of its own gets no default, and stays without one until a cluster administrator acknowledges the hold recorded on the Namespace (see docs/operations/system-memory-limits.md); lowering a previously applied limit needs the same acknowledgement. A namespace where another LimitRange already sets anything about memory is left alone. A container that declares its own memory limit is never changed.
