Jan Safranek 618bec889d Fix the preemption test
It needs to run as [Serial], so it accidentally does not evict other Pods.

Consider this scenario on a busy clusters, with all nodes at their attachment limit.

1. pod1 of the preemption test runs, pod2 is created.
2. The scheduler evicts pod1. That frees the RWOP volume and it also frees the last attachment slot on the node.
3. Some other e2e tests creates a Pod and scheduler puts it on a node, taking the last attachment slot.
4. The scheduler schedules pod2 agaian and it sees there is no node with a free attachment slot -> new round of eviction, now evicting a pod of unrelated e2e tests. The unrelated test will fail.

test/e2e

This is home to e2e tests used for presubmit, periodic, and postsubmit jobs.

Some of these jobs are merge-blocking, some are release-blocking.

e2e test ownership

All e2e tests must adhere to the following policies:

  • the test must be owned by one and only one SIG
  • the test must live in/underneath a sig-owned package matching pattern: test/e2e/[{subpath}/]{sig}/..., e.g.
    • test/e2e/auth - all tests owned by sig-auth
    • test/e2e/common/storage - all tests common to cluster-level and node-level e2e tests, owned by sig-node
    • test/e2e/upgrade/apps - all tests used in upgrade testing, owned by sig-apps
  • each sig-owned package should have an OWNERS file defining relevant approvers and labels for the owning sig, e.g.
# test/e2e/node/OWNERS
# See the OWNERS docs at https://go.k8s.io/owners

approvers:
- alice
- bob
- cynthia
emeritus_approvers:
- dave
reviewers:
- sig-node-reviewers
labels:
- sig/node
  • packages that use {subpath} should have an imports.go file importing sig-owned packages (for ginkgo's benefit), e.g.
// test/e2e/common/imports.go
package common

import (
	// ensure these packages are scanned by ginkgo for e2e tests
	_ "k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e/common/network"
	_ "k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e/common/node"
	_ "k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e/common/storage"
)
  • test ownership must be declared via a top-level SIGDescribe call defined in the sig-owned package, e.g.
// test/e2e/lifecycle/framework.go
package lifecycle

import "k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e/framework"

// SIGDescribe annotates the test with the SIG label.
var SIGDescribe = framework.SIGDescribe("cluster-lifecycle")
// test/e2e/lifecycle/bootstrap/bootstrap_signer.go

package bootstrap

import (
	"github.com/onsi/ginkgo"
	"k8s.io/kubernetes/test/e2e/lifecycle"
)
var _ = lifecycle.SIGDescribe("cluster", feature.BootstrapTokens, func() {
  /* ... */
  ginkgo.It("should sign the new added bootstrap tokens", func(ctx context.Context) {
    /* ... */
  })
  /* etc */
})

These polices are enforced:

  • via the merge-blocking presubmit job pull-kubernetes-verify
  • which ends up running hack/verify-e2e-test-ownership.sh
  • which can also be run via make verify WHAT=e2e-test-ownership
