fix(cilium)!: take cilium's own addresses from a block kube-ovn does not hand out - #4778
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change configures Cilium to use a reserved pool derived from the pod CIDR and excludes that range from kube-ovn. It adds a post-upgrade migration Job and script to move existing CiliumNode allocations into the pool, with tests for pool rendering and migration outcomes. ChangesCilium IPAM pool and migration

europrinter (@yankawai) the approach is right and I want this merged, but the migration hook needs two fixes first, plus a decision on the breaking marker.
I checked the claims against the pinned sources and they hold. kube-ovn v1.15.26 reads --default-exclude-ips only when it creates the subnet (pkg/controller/init.go:128-143), so patching ovn-default from the hook is required. It hands out the lowest free address and reuses released ones only after the free list is empty (pkg/ipam/subnet.go:250-266). Host-originated traffic is masqueraded only when source and destination are both in ovn40subnets (pkg/daemon/gateway_linux.go:643).
I rendered every platform variant against main. Only isp-full and isp-full-generic change, with the cilium pool list and kube-ovn EXCLUDE_IPS. The slim, hosted and distro variants are byte-identical, and so are the two cilium-only valuesFiles combinations. helm unittest passes for cilium, platform and kube-ovn, and the bats suite passes 19/19 under bash 5. Five of six mutations went red: pool offset, exclusion wiring on the generic branch, slim gating, hook gating and the busy guard.
-
The hook clears a node's CIDR before it knows the pool has room for it (
packages/system/cilium/files/ipam-migration.sh:282-291). A /21 cut into /29s holds 256 nodes. Until now the limit came from the cluster CIDR, so a cluster with a wider one can have more nodes than that. From the 257th CiliumNode on, the loop removesspec.ipam.podCIDRs, the operator has nothing to give, and the node is logged as "no CIDR" and skipped. Its agent keeps the old allocation in memory, but on the next restart it waits for a CIDR that never comes (daemon/k8s/init.go:37-56at v1.19.5), and the node loses pod networking. I'd count the CiliumNodes against the number of /29s in$POOLbefore the loop and fail before clearing anything. The 256-node ceiling also belongs in thenetworking.podCIDRcomment and the release note, because a fresh install hits it too. -
A pool outside the default subnet still moves the agents (
ipam-migration.sh:126-128and:160-163). The "a pool outside the default subnet needs no exclusion" test pins that. It happens whennetworking.podCIDR, oripv4-pod-cidrin the cozystack ConfigMap on the generic variant, stopped matching theovn-defaultcidrBlock, for example after a post-install change that kube-ovn ignores for an existing subnet. The agents then move outsideovn40subnets, which is your own 100.65.0.0/16 measurement where Gateway API broke across nodes. I'd fail there and print both CIDRs. The branch for a cluster without kube-ovn can stay. -
The render now fails for a pod CIDR narrower than /20 or anything that isn't plain IPv4 (
cozystack.platform.ciliumPoolBoundsinpackages/core/platform/templates/_helpers.tpl). An install that rendered yesterday stops rendering at upgrade, so I'd add the!to the title and the commit header, as you offered.
Smaller things, not blocking on their own:
- The release note says the upgrade restarts each agent once. The config change already rolls the agent DaemonSet and the operator through the configmap checksum (
rollOutCiliumPods: true), and then the hook restarts every agent again. So it's twice. - Replacing the overlap test at
ipam-migration.sh:168with a containment test still passes the suite, because the only busy fixture sits fully inside the pool. The likely real case is av4usingIPrangeentry that crosses the pool start, like10.244.247.250-10.244.248.3, since kube-ovn's ascending pointer is what reaches the block. One more fixture would pin it. - I agree with the open inline comment about reading
v4usingIPrangefrom the subnet as it was before the patch. - A pod that holds a node's current Ingress IP stays broken on that node after the move, as the PR body says. The hook already has those addresses, so logging the pods that hold them would save someone a search.
CI hasn't run on this head yet. Every workflow is waiting for approval, so there is no E2E result for the fresh-install path either.

…not hand out On the kube-ovn variants Cilium allocates no pod addresses, but the agent still takes its router IP and the Gateway API Ingress IP from its allocation CIDR. In ipam.mode kubernetes that is Node.spec.podCIDR, which the documented installs slice from the same range kube-ovn allocates pods from, so kube-ovn sooner or later hands a pod an address Cilium already holds. Cilium now runs ipam.mode cluster-pool on the kube-ovn variants, with a /29 per node from the last /21 of networking.podCIDR, and kube-ovn excludes that /21 through --default-exclude-ips. The block stays inside the pod CIDR on purpose. Envoy reaches Gateway API backends from the node's Ingress IP, and kube-ovn masquerades host-originated traffic only when the source lies in one of its subnets, so a block outside them such as 100.65.0.0/16 breaks Gateway API traffic that crosses nodes. A post-upgrade hook moves existing clusters. It first checks that the block has a /29 for every node and lies inside kube-ovn's default subnet, and stops without changing anything otherwise. It adds the block and every node's current Ingress IP to excludeIps of that subnet, because the agent keeps a former Ingress IP in its ipcache as reserved:ingress. It then waits until kube-ovn stops offering the block and stops if an address in it is still allocated. kube-ovn leaves excluded addresses out of the subnet status, so that check reads its IP objects. Then, one node at a time, it clears the inherited /24 from the CiliumNode, waits for the operator to allocate from the block and restarts the agent. networking.podCIDR now needs a prefix of /20 or shorter on the kube-ovn variants, and the render fails otherwise. A /21 cut into /29s also caps these variants at 256 nodes. Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Yan Bondarenko <[email protected]>

europrinter (@yankawai) LGTM. The hook now stops before it changes anything when the pool has fewer /29s than there are CiliumNodes, or when it lies outside the default subnet. The 256-node ceiling is in the networking.podCIDR comment and the release note, and the ! is on the title and the commit.
helm unittest passes for cilium, platform and kube-ovn, the bats suite passes 27/27 under bash 5, and shellcheck is clean. I mutated the new guards and each one turned the suite red: the capacity check turned off, -gt changed to -ge, the capacity call removed, return 1 on a pool outside the subnet changed to continue, and the polarity of the Ingress IP log flipped. The crossing v4usingIPrange fixture also catches an overlap test weakened to containment.

Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei) one small commit on top, no rebase and nothing else touched. since #3849 main runs hack/*.bats under real bats, and bats-strict-setup.bats fails the whole lane for a unit file that does not load test_helper, which this one did not. the commit adds that load line only. on a trial merge with current main (cbc9d0c) the 27 tests of this file pass under set -u, the strict-setup audit is clean, and the rest of the bats lane fails only where bare main fails in the same environment. helm unittest passes for cilium 23/23, platform 263/263 and kubeovn 22/22. the older red check on this pr was the backupcontroller build that #4768 fixed. |

europrinter (@yankawai) LGTM. The only change since my last review is the test helper load line, and it needs to stay, because on current main bats-strict-setup.bats fails the unit lane for any hack/*.bats file without it.
I re-ran the checks on a trial merge with current main (d7f3f0d). helm unittest passes for cilium, platform and kube-ovn, the bats suite passes 27/27 under bash 5 next to the strict setup audit, and shellcheck is clean. Of all platform variants only isp-full and isp-full-generic render differently from main, with the cilium pool and the kube-ovn exclusion.
No workflow has run on this PR yet, so there is no E2E result for the fresh install either.

What this PR does
fixes #3740.
on the kube-ovn variants cilium allocates no pod ips, but the agent still takes its router ip (
cilium_host,CiliumInternalIP) and the gateway api ingress ip from its own allocation cidr. withipam.mode: kubernetesthat'sNode.spec.podCIDR, a /24 out of the same /16 kube-ovn hands pods from, so sooner or later kube-ovn gives a pod an address cilium already holds. we hit it on three clusters, details in #3740 (comment).what changes
ipam.mode: cluster-pool, a /29 per node out of the last /21 ofnetworking.podCIDR(10.244.248.0/21for the default /16). the platform derives the block fromnetworking.podCIDRand passes the same range to kube-ovn as--default-exclude-ips, so a fresh install never hands it to pods.ovn40subnets. with the100.65.0.0/16pool from the issue a nodeport through the gateway answered 200 only on the backend's node and 503upstream connect error ... connection timeouton the other two. with the block inside the pod cidr it's 200 from all three. worth a look on the ci side too. the ci sandbox sets talospodSubnetsto100.65.0.0/16, so cilium's ingress ips there already come from outsideovn40subnets, and the gateway e2e checks Accepted, Programmed and the lb service but sends no request through a listener, so it wouldn't notice. with this pr the sandbox takes its block from the pod cidr like everyone else.pkg/ipam/subnet.goandpkg/ipam/ip_range_list.goat v1.15.26). a /21 cut into /29s covers 256 nodes.ipam.mode: kubernetes. cilium is the only cni there andNode.spec.podCIDRis the pod range.networking.podCIDRnow needs /20 or wider on the kube-ovn variants, otherwise the render fails and says why. an install that rendered before can stop rendering at upgrade, hence the!. a /21 cut into /29s also caps these variants at 256 nodes, a fresh install included.existing clusters
a post-upgrade hook in the cilium chart moves them (
templates/ipam-migration.yaml,files/ipam-migration.sh). before it touches anything it checks that the block has a /29 for every CiliumNode and that it lies inside kube-ovn's default subnet, and stops with both cidrs printed otherwise. a node cleared past the pool's capacity would lose pod networking on its next agent restart, and a block outside the subnet puts the agents outsideovn40subnetsagain. it has to be post-upgrade. platform migrations run as the platform's pre-upgrade hook, while every agent still runsipam.mode: kubernetesand writesNode.spec.podCIDRback into a cleared CiliumNode (pkg/nodediscovery/nodediscovery.goat v1.19.5), so the move can only happen after the cilium release switched the mode. the job runs on the host network against the agent's own api endpoint (kubeprism on talos), because it restarts the agents.excludeIpsof the default subnet, in one json patch with atestop, and reads the subnet again on conflict, since kube-ovn rewrites that list into its own order right after a patch. the old ingress ip goes in because cilium 1.19.5 keeps a former ingress ip in the agent's ipcache asreserved:ingressafter the move. we saw 2 to 3 such entries per node hours later. old router ips leave the ipcache and go back to kube-ovn.status.v4availableIPrangestops offering the block, which is kube-ovn having applied the exclusion, and then reads theips.kubeovn.ioobjects of the default subnet. the status alone can't answer it, kube-ovn leaves excluded addresses out ofv4usingIPrange(GetSubnetIPRangeStringinpkg/ipam/ipam.goat v1.15.26), so a pod still in the block would be invisible on a retry where the exclusion is already in place. recreate those pods and the next upgrade retry goes through.spec.ipam.podCIDRs(again with atestop, so a concurrent writer fails the patch instead of losing an update), waits for the operator to allocate a /29 from the block and restarts that node's agent. a node that isn't ready is skipped and its agent picks up the block when it starts. nodes already moved are left alone, so a retry after a timeout just continues. the hook runs inside the cilium upgrade, so where restarting every agent takes longer than the upgrade timeout, 10m by default, the release first reports a failed upgrade and the move finishes on the retry.running pods keep their addresses. every agent restarts twice on upgrade, once when the config change rolls the daemonset and once from the hook, and while it restarts host to pod traffic on that node blips for a few seconds because the router ip moves. a pod that sits on a router ip today is reachable again after the move, the node no longer holds that address. a pod on a node's current ingress ip keeps it and that node keeps seeing it as
reserved:ingress, so recreate it. the hook logs those pods by name.Validation
helm unittestpasses cilium 23/23, platform 246/246 and kube-ovn 22/22. the new suites pin the renderedcilium-configkeys per variant, the hook shape, env and rbac, and the platform wiring for the talos and generic branches, a custom pod cidr, host bits in the network address, the refusals for a too small or non ipv4 cidr, and the slim variant.hack/*.batsunder real bats 1.14 withset -u, the 27 bats tests pass after the second commit loadstest_helper, the strict setup audit is clean, and helm unittest passes cilium 23/23, platform 263/263 and kube-ovn 22/22.hack/cilium-ipam-migration.batspasses 27/27 and runs the real script against a fake kubectl that models the operator, the agent daemonset and kube-ovn publishing the subnet status. thirteen mutations turn it red each (exclusion after the move, no ingress exclusion, no retry, no status check, an ingress ip inside the block listed on its own, notestop, no wait for kube-ovn, no ip object check, no subnet filter on the ip objects, no capacity check, a block outside the subnet let through, overlap turned into containment, no log of ingress ip holders). the containment one is pinned by a usage range that crosses the start of the block,10.244.247.250-10.244.248.3.kubernetesto the block, exclusion first and then the node moves this script does. 3 nodes in about 40 seconds, every agent took its router and ingress ip from its /29, no pod changed its address.100.65.0.0/16.testplusreplacepatch onovn-defaultgoes through, kube-ovn re-sorts the list right after, and the same patch against the old list is rejected. that's the conflict path the retry covers.hack/check-commit-trailers.shpasses.Screenshots
