Add k8s-nvidia-numa.bats with five tests that validate NUMA behaviour
on hosts where NUMA is configured by default (qemu-nvidia-gpu,
qemu-nvidia-gpu-snp, qemu-nvidia-gpu-tdx):
1. Multi-node sandbox (large workload spanning all host NUMA nodes):
- Guest NUMA node count matches host
- Guest vCPU distribution is balanced across nodes (max-min <= 1)
- Guest memory is distributed across NUMA nodes
- Host-side vCPU pinning is balanced across NUMA nodes
2. Right-sized single-node sandbox (small workload fitting one node):
- Guest collapses to a single NUMA node
- All host vCPU threads pinned to that one NUMA node
3. GPU passthrough with VFIO, multi-node:
- Guest NUMA topology is balanced (same as test 1)
- Guest GPU's NUMA node matches the host GPU's NUMA node
(resolved via the vfio-pci,host=<BDF> from the QEMU command
line and /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/numa_node)
- QEMU command line contains pxb-pcie and policy=bind
- Host vCPU pinning is balanced
4. GPU passthrough with VFIO, right-sized single-node: small workload
plus GPU that fits in a single host NUMA node:
- Guest collapses to a single NUMA node
- The chosen node is the GPU's host NUMA node, not just any node
that fits — verified by matching host-nodes= in the memory
backend and pxb-pcie numa_node= against the GPU's host node
- Guest GPU reports the same NUMA node as the host GPU
5. Explicit numa_mapping in the runtime TOML (QEMU-only):
- Drops a config.d/ fragment that sets numa_mapping = ["1"], so the
auto-derive + right-sizing path is bypassed entirely
- Guest sees exactly 1 NUMA node
- QEMU memory backend is bound to host node 1 (host-nodes=1,
policy=bind), not host node 0
- Host-side vCPU threads land on host node 1
- Drop-in is removed on teardown so subsequent tests are unaffected
Guest-side checks use a dedicated container image
(quay.io/kata-containers/numa) that reads sysfs and prints results to
stdout — no kubectl exec or CoCo policy overrides needed.
Host-side checks (crictl, pgrep, taskset) run directly on the host
via sudo; a standalone numa-pinning-check.sh script handles the vCPU
thread affinity inspection. The config.d/ helpers used by test 5 are
runtime-agnostic (probe Go vs runtime-rs layout on disk) but the test
is gated to qemu-* shims since runtime-rs does not yet implement
NUMA.
Skips cleanly on single-NUMA hosts, unsupported hypervisors, or when
no nvidia.com/pgpu resources are available (GPU tests only).

NUMA Topology Check Container
Minimal container image that reads guest NUMA topology from sysfs and
prints structured output to stdout. Used by k8s-nvidia-numa.bats to
verify guest NUMA node count, vCPU distribution, and memory layout
without needing kubectl exec (which requires CoCo policy overrides).
Image
quay.io/kata-containers/numa:<date>
Build and push (multi-arch)
cd tests/integration/kubernetes/runtimeclass_workloads/numa/
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
-t quay.io/kata-containers/numa:$(date +%Y-%m-%d) --push .
After pushing, update the image reference (including digest) in
numa-topology-test.yaml.in.
Output format
The entrypoint prints one key: value pair per line:
numa_online: 0-1
node0_cpus: 32
node1_cpus: 32
node0_mem_kb: 37078332
node1_mem_kb: 37125524
The bats test parses this output from kubectl logs.
