Plumb a resources block into the kata-deploy DaemonSet container in
the Helm chart so the cluster can size its memory footprint
predictably.
Defaults are sized from real /proc/<pid>/status numbers on an
unpatched 3.30.0 build running on a ~220-vCPU GPU node:
VmRSS: 9944 kB (~9.7 MiB) <- actual physical memory
RssAnon: 2628 kB (~2.6 MiB) <- heap + dirty stack pages
VmData: 464668 kB (~454 MiB) <- tokio multi-thread workers'
reserved-but-untouched stacks
Threads: 225 <- num_cpus()-driven worker pool
That VmData number is the source of the original "kata-deploy is
using 400 MB" reports: any monitoring layer that surfaces virtual
data size, committed memory, or memory.usage_in_bytes on a kernel
that includes mapped-but-untouched memory will happily reproduce
~400 MB even though only ~10 MiB is ever made resident. The earlier
commits in this series (current_thread tokio, mimalloc, shared kube
client, JSONPath removal, post-install re-exec) collapse VmData into
the tens of MiB and drop the post-install resident set further.
The defaults below are picked accordingly:
requests:
cpu: 25m # install is mostly I/O wait; the post-install
# waiter is genuinely idle
memory: 16Mi # ~2x headroom over the unpatched VmRSS we
# measured, far more over the patched waiter
Operators who hit OOMKilled on unusually large or churny clusters can
override `resources` directly in their Helm values (or set it to {}
to remove all requests and inherit cluster defaults).
