Once a pod reaches a terminated state (whether failed or succeeded), it should
not transit out ever again. Currently, kubelet relies on examining the dead
containers to verify that the container has already been run. This is fine
in most cases, but if the dead containers were garbage collected, kubelet may
falsely concluded that the pod has never been run. It would then try to restart
all the containers.
This change eliminates most of such possibilities by pre-filtering out the pods
in the final states before sending updates to per-pod workers.
