The original limit of 32 seemed sufficient for a single GPU on a node. But for
shared non-local resources it is too low. For example, a ResourceClaim might be
used to allocate an interconnect channel that connects all pods of a workload
running on several different nodes, in which case the number of pods can be
considerably larger.
256 is high enough for currently planned systems. If we need something even
higher in the future, an alternative approach might be needed to avoid
scalability problems.
Normally, increasing such a limit would have to be done incrementally over two
releases. In this case we decided on
Slack (https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/CJUQN3E4T/p1734593174791519) to
make an exception and apply this change to current master for 1.33 and backport
it to the next 1.32.x patch release for production usage.
This breaks downgrades to a 1.32 release without this change if there are
ResourceClaims with a number of consumers > 32 in ReservedFor. In practice,
this breakage is very unlikely because there are no workloads yet which need so
many consumers and such downgrades to a previous patch release are also
unlikely. Downgrades to 1.31 already weren't supported when using DRA v1beta1.
The context is used for cancellation and to support contextual logging.
In most cases, alternative *WithContext APIs get added, except for
NewIntegerResourceVersionMutationCache where code searches indicate that the
API is not used downstream.
An API break around SharedInformer couldn't be avoided because the
alternative (keeping the interface unchanged and adding a second one with
the new method) would have been worse. controller-runtime needs to be updated
because it implements that interface in a test package. Downstream consumers of
controller-runtime will work unless they use those test package.
Converting Kubernetes to use the other new alternatives will follow. In the
meantime, usage of the new alternatives cannot be enforced via logcheck
yet (see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/126379 for the
process).
Passing context through and checking it for cancellation is tricky for event
handlers. A better approach is to map the context cancellation to the normal
removal of an event handler via a helper goroutine. Thanks to the new
HandleErrorWithLogr and HandleCrashWithLogr, remembering the logger is
sufficient for handling problems at runtime.
Dual-stack clusters exist; ServiceChangeTracker does not need to log
messages (even at V(4)) when it sees dual-stack Services, and
EndpointsChangeTracker does not need to emit Events(!) when it sees
EndpointSlices of the wrong AddressType.
(Though in most cases the EndpointsChangeTracker Events would not get
emitted anyway, since the MetaProxier would ensure that only the v4
tracker saw v4 slices, and only the v6 tracker saw v6 slices.)
Also remove a nil check labeled "This should never happen" which, in
fact, we know *didn't* happen, since the function has already
dereferenced the value before it checking it against nil.
newFakeProxier was inlining the details of NewEndpointsChangeTracker
so it could override trackerStartTime, but it would be better and more
future-proof to just call NewEndpointsChangeTracker normally and then
edit that one field.
(Also remove an unused FakeProxier field.)
