fix(backups): refuse a foreign -orig PVC and record the kept disk's reclaim policy by mattia-eleuteri · Pull Request #4671 · cozystack/cozystack

What this PR does

Two defects in renamePVC (internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go), the step of an in-place VMInstance restore that keeps each disk as <dv>-orig-<shortHash(RestoreJob name)> when keepOriginalPVC is true, the default.

A taken `-orig` name skipped the rename, and the restore went on

renamePVC returned nil as soon as a PVC with the -orig name existed (main:1263-1266), whatever that PVC was. prepareForRestore then reached Step 4 (main:1172-1183), which deletes the DataVolume of every disk regardless of what Step 3 did, because a Step 3 error was only ever turned into a Warning event (main:1165-1168). The restore therefore ran exactly as keepOriginalPVC: false does and reported Succeeded: the live disk was not kept, and the -orig name held a different, older disk that the user takes for the pre-restore copy.

When that name can already exist:

A RestoreJob created under the name of a deleted one. The hash covers only the RestoreJob name, and nothing in the controller ever deletes an -orig PVC, so the predecessor's PVC is still there. This is the realistic case, and it is what a scripted restore with a fixed RestoreJob name runs into on its second run unless the -orig PVC was removed in between.
Two RestoreJobs with different names whose 4-hex-digit hashes collide (16 bits) while restoring the same disk in the same namespace. Rare, but nothing guards it.
A reconcile of the same RestoreJob after a controller restart in the middle of a rename. The name is ours, but the early return treated a half-done rename as complete: the original PVC stayed in place and the PV stayed bound to it.
Truncation does not apply: the name is not truncated, and one longer than 253 characters makes the Create fail, an error that was swallowed in the same way.

Each -orig PVC now carries the UID of the RestoreJob that created it, in backups.cozystack.io/restore-job-uid. prepareForRestore checks every -orig name before it suspends or halts anything, and fails the RestoreJob, naming the PVC, when any of them is held by a PVC another RestoreJob created. When the PVC is ours, renamePVC resumes: it deletes the original PVC only while it still claims the kept PV, and repoints the PV unless it already points at the -orig PVC, so a rerun is a no-op. Any other rename error now holds the restore back before Step 4 deletes a DataVolume, and the restore is retried, instead of the error becoming an event (see the next section).

An -orig PVC created by an earlier controller has no UID annotation and is refused like any foreign PVC. The only RestoreJob that loses by this is one whose controller was upgraded after its rename and before its Velero Restore was created; it fails with the message above rather than going on.

The rename read its own write back through the cache

renamePVC created the -orig PVC, then read it back through the cached client to learn its UID for the PV's claimRef (main:1314-1316). The informer often has not seen a PVC created a moment earlier. On our lab, running Cozystack v1.6.3, an in-place restore of a two-disk VM with keepOriginalPVC: true renamed and restored the system disk, while the data disk lost the race, with this event on the RestoreJob: Failed to keep old PVC vm-disk-e2e-dc-fix-data: failed to get -orig PVC vm-disk-e2e-dc-fix-data-orig-a574: PersistentVolumeClaim "vm-disk-e2e-dc-fix-data-orig-a574" not found. As the error was only an event, the data disk's DataVolume was deleted and its original PVC stayed in place. Velero skipped that PVC and created no DataDownload for it, so its content was not restored, yet the restore finished Succeeded. The -orig PVC was left Pending on the same PV, which was by then Retain.

Create already fills in the UID, so the read-back is gone. The other reads the rename decides on (the -orig PVC, the original PVC and the PV, before and after its own writes) go through the manager's uncached reader, wired as APIReader. The PV rebind retries on conflict, since the PV controller also writes the PV once the original PVC is deleted. A rename that fails for any reason other than a foreign -orig name requeues the restore rather than failing it. The DataVolume is still there, and the retry finds its own -orig PVC by the RestoreJob UID and resumes where it stopped. A cause that never clears keeps the RestoreJob Running, with a Warning event on each attempt.

#4673 adds the same APIReader field and apiReader() helper to RestoreJobReconciler, for its finished-job guard. Whichever of the two lands second drops its own copy when it rebases.

The PV's reclaim policy was overwritten without being recorded

renamePVC switches the PV to Retain so it survives the deletion of the original PVC (main:1289-1293), and the policy it had was lost. I looked for a path in the controller that releases or cleans up -orig PVCs, and there is none: cleanupOnDelete on a Velero RestoreJob removes only the Velero Restore and the resource-modifier ConfigMaps, and no code deletes an -orig PVC or touches its PV again. A PV that was Delete therefore stays Retain for good, and its volume leaks when an operator deletes the -orig PVC.

The original policy is now recorded in backups.cozystack.io/original-reclaim-policy, on the PV and on the -orig PVC, following the backups.cozystack.io/ prefix the controller already uses for underlying-resources. A value already present on the PV is kept, as it predates any rename. Since there is no release path to restore it from, examples/backups/vmi/scenario-user-restore.md gains a section for the operator who deletes an -orig PVC: set the recorded policy back on the PV first, with a snippet that leaves a PV without the annotation on Retain.

Restoring the policy from the controller itself, for instance once the Velero Restore has completed and the PV is Bound to the -orig PVC, would close the leak without the operator. I did not do it, because it changes what deleting an -orig PVC destroys, from nothing to the volume; that is a maintainer call, and the annotation is what it would read.

How this fits with #3427

#3427 is complementary, and the two do not touch the same code: it changes collectUnderlyingResources, this PR changes prepareForRestore and renamePVC. Both append tests to velerostrategy_controller_test.go, so whichever lands second may need a trivial rebase.

fix(backups): prepare standalone VMDisk restore targets and add VM backup/restore e2e round-trips #3427 makes a standalone VMDisk report its own disk, which sends VMDisk in-place restores through this same renamePVC. Once both land, the VMDisk path gets the same guard and the same annotation.
Its examples/backups/{vmi,vmdisk}/cleanup.sh and the Chainsaw finally reclaim each -orig PVC by patching its PV to Delete before deleting the PVC. That works around, in the e2e teardown, the leak described above. It is correct on the LINSTOR classes, which are Delete, but it would destroy a volume whose class was Retain. With this PR the scripts can read backups.cozystack.io/original-reclaim-policy instead of hard-coding Delete. I have not changed them here, since they only exist on that branch.
Its round-trips use fixed RestoreJob names and assert that a <pvc>-orig-* PVC exists after the restore. If a failed teardown leaves one behind, today the next run skips the rename and the assertion still passes on the stale PVC; with this PR the RestoreJob fails and names it.
Its cleanup comments describe the -orig PVC as a bare ObjectMeta with no labels or owner. That stays true: this PR adds annotations only, so its name-based lookup is unaffected.

Tests

New tests in internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller_test.go, run through prepareForRestore with the DataVolume in the dynamic fake client:

TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_RefusesForeignOrigPVC: an -orig PVC without the annotation, and one carrying another RestoreJob's UID, both fail the restore with the PVC named, and leave the DataVolume, the live PVC, the PV and the foreign PVC untouched.
TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_ResumesOwnRename: a rename interrupted after the -orig PVC was created completes on the next pass, and a second pass changes nothing.
TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_FailedRenameKeepsDataVolume: a rename that fails for another reason (missing PV) requeues the restore without failing it and keeps the DataVolume, and once the PV exists the retry completes the rename.
TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_CacheLagsBehindWrites: the reconciler's cached client serves every read from the objects as they were seeded, through an interceptor over the fake client, as an informer that has not caught up with this reconcile's writes would, while APIReader sees them. The rename must complete.
TestRenamePVC_RecordsOriginalReclaimPolicy: a Delete PV and a Retain PV both end up Retain, with their original policy recorded on the PV and on the -orig PVC.

With the controller reverted to main (only the two annotation constants kept so the tests compile), all four fail: prepareForRestore() = ready true, nil error with DataVolume was deleted although the disk could not be kept for both foreign cases and for the failed rename, original PVC still exists and the PV still bound to it for the interrupted rename, and an empty original-reclaim-policy on the PV and on the PVC. For the cache race, the first commit alone fails CacheLagsBehindWrites with the lab's error, failed to keep PVC vm-disk-ubuntu-source: failed to get -orig PVC vm-disk-ubuntu-source-orig-de3e: persistentvolumeclaims "vm-disk-ubuntu-source-orig-de3e" not found, and FailedRenameKeepsDataVolume with a terminal error instead of a requeue. On main the race test reproduces the lab outcome: original PVC still exists, and the PV still claimed by it.

With both commits, go test -count=1 ./internal/backupcontroller/... passes.

No API type, CRD, chart or values file changes, so there is nothing to regenerate.

N/A, no UI change.

Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff: the restore preparation in internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go, its tests, and examples/backups/vmi/scenario-user-restore.md. No CRD, ApplicationDefinition, values, schema, enum, namespace, label, metric or tooling change, so terraform-provider-cozystack, ansible-cozystack, ccp, talm, cozyhr, cozy-proxy, cozystack-telemetry-server, external-apps-example, examples and community are not reached. RestoreJob.spec.options stays opaque to the provider.

cozystack/website is reached: content/en/docs/next/virtualization/backup-and-recovery.md (and each released copy) tells users to delete the *-orig-* PVCs "to free up storage". A PV left on Retain frees nothing, and the page should explain the recorded policy and the new failure for a reused RestoreJob name. No follow-up exists there yet, so the box stays empty until one is filed and linked.

Release note

fix(backups): an in-place VM restore with keepOriginalPVC now fails, before the VM is halted, when the <disk>-orig-<hash> PVC it would keep the disk under already exists and was not created by this RestoreJob (for instance one left by a deleted RestoreJob of the same name), instead of skipping the rename and restoring without keeping the current disk. Any other failure to keep a disk, including a race in which the rename read its just-created -orig PVC back through the cache and failed, now holds the restore back and retries it before its DataVolume is deleted. Previously such a restore reported success without restoring the disk. The PV's reclaim policy before the switch to Retain is recorded in the backups.cozystack.io/original-reclaim-policy annotation on the PV and the -orig PVC; set it back on the PV before deleting the -orig PVC, or its volume is not reclaimed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- In-place restores that preserve original PVCs can now resume safely after interruptions, including when reads lag behind recent changes.
- Restores stop before suspending the VM if a conflicting -orig PVC already exists. PVC rename failures can be retried, while conflicting names remain fatal.
- Original PV reclaim policies are recorded and restored before preserved PVCs are deleted.
Documentation
- Updated the restore guide with disk-reclamation steps and guidance for resolving leftover PVC name conflicts.

…eclaim policy renamePVC returned early whenever a PVC named <dv>-orig-<hash> already existed, without checking it came from this rename. The hash covers only the RestoreJob name, so a RestoreJob created under the name of a deleted one finds the -orig PVC its predecessor left behind. The rename was skipped, the DataVolume deleted anyway, and the restore ran as if keepOriginalPVC were false while reporting success: the live disk was not kept, and the -orig name held an older one. Any other rename failure ended the same way, since its error only became an event. A -orig PVC now records the UID of the RestoreJob that created it. A name held by any other PVC fails the restore before the VM is halted, an interrupted rename of our own resumes instead of stopping halfway, and a rename failure fails the restore before the DataVolume goes. The PV is switched to Retain so it outlives the original PVC, and the policy it had was discarded. Nothing in the controller deletes the -orig PVC or restores that policy, so a PV that was Delete stayed Retain and its volume leaked once an operator removed the claim. The policy is now recorded on the PV and on the -orig PVC, and the restore scenario documents how to set it back. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Mattia Eleuteri <[email protected]>

Walkthrough

In-place restores now check preserved PVC name ownership before restore preparation. PVC renames use uncached reads, record and retain PV reclaim policies, and can resume after interruption. The guide describes reclaiming preserved disks and handling name conflicts.

Changes

In-place Restore PVC Preservation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Uncached reader wiring `internal/backupcontroller/restorejob_controller.go`	`RestoreJobReconciler` stores the manager’s uncached API reader and uses it for reads when available, with a fallback to the controller client.
Destination PVC preflight `internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go`, `internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller_test.go`	Before suspending resources, restore preparation checks whether each destination `-orig` PVC is absent or belongs to the current RestoreJob. Tests check that a foreign PVC causes an error and that related resources remain unchanged.
Resumable PVC rename `internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller.go`, `internal/backupcontroller/velerostrategy_controller_test.go`, `examples/backups/vmi/scenario-user-restore.md`	The rename records the PV’s original reclaim policy, sets it to `Retain`, annotates the preserved PVC, and retries PV claim-reference updates on conflicts. Tests cover repeated preparation, retries, reclaim policies, and lagging cached reads. The guide describes restoring the recorded policy and handling leftover PVC names.

renamePVC created the -orig PVC, then read it back through the cached client to learn its UID. The informer had often not seen the PVC yet, so the read failed with NotFound. On a two-disk VM restore one disk was kept and the other was not; with that error turned into an event, its DataVolume was deleted, the original PVC stayed in place and Velero skipped it, and the restore reported success without restoring the disk. The -orig PVC was left Pending on the same PV, by then Retain. Create already returns the UID, so the read-back goes. The other reads the rename decides on, the -orig and original PVCs and the PV, go through the manager's uncached reader, and the PV rebind retries on conflict, since the PV controller writes the PV once the original PVC is deleted. A rename that fails for any reason other than an -orig name taken by another PVC now requeues the restore instead of failing it. The DataVolume is still there, and the retry finds its own -orig PVC by the RestoreJob UID and resumes where it stopped. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Mattia Eleuteri <[email protected]>

Assert that refusal leaves the VM and HelmReleases unchanged.

This fixture seeds only the DataVolume in the dynamic client. When the VM and HelmReleases are absent, the preparation helpers do not update them. Moving the foreign-PVC check below suspension and halt can therefore still return the expected error while this test passes. Add those resources to the fixture and assert that runStrategy and spec.suspend remain unchanged.

Keep the PVC when its reclaim policy is unknown or the patch fails.

When POLICY is empty, the patch sets the PV to Retain, then the next command deletes the PVC. The guide says an older-controller PVC has no recorded policy and leaves that choice to the operator. If the original policy was Delete, deleting the PVC without restoring it leaves the volume unreclaimed. A failed patch can also be followed by the delete. Delete the PVC only when the policy is known and the patch succeeds.

mattia-eleuteri LGTM.

Both defects are real on current main. renamePVC returns nil as soon as any PVC holds the -orig name, and Step 3 errors only become events, so Step 4 deletes the DataVolume either way and the restore continues as if keepOriginalPVC were false. Combined with the Velero behaviour described in #4672, that restore reports success without restoring the disk. The read-back of the just-created -orig PVC through the cache is the same class of failure. Checking the -orig names before anything is suspended or halted, and holding the restore back on any other rename error, closes both.

What I ran on a merge of the head with current main: go test ./internal/backupcontroller/... passes. Making foreignOrigPVC accept any PVC fails both subtests of TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_RefusesForeignOrigPVC. Removing the requeue after a failed rename fails TestPrepareForRestore_KeepOriginalPVC_FailedRenameKeepsDataVolume.

Two guards survive mutation, so they are worth a test each, not blocking:

getOrigPVC reading through r.Get instead of apiReader() keeps every test green. The cache-lag test covers the first pass only, not a retry that has to find its own -orig PVC.
Dropping oldPVC.Spec.VolumeName == pvName from the delete condition keeps every test green. No test has CDI recreate an empty PVC under the old name after an interrupted rename, which is the case this guard is for.

A rename error that never clears now keeps the RestoreJob Running with the VM halted and its HelmReleases suspended, with nothing but Warning events. That beats a false Succeeded, but a deadline that fails the job would give the user a final state to act on. Not blocking.

Ordering with #3427: its current head (0b60f36) adds restoreDisks and a disk-in-use check at the same spot in prepareForRestore, so the two conflict there. Whichever lands second should run the -orig check over the restoreDisks result, so a standalone VMDisk restore gets the same refusal.
