LoadBalancer Service External-IP <pending> status

[KillMaster9]

ConfigMap File:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
namespace: metallb-system
name: config
data:
config: |
address-pools:
- name: my-ip-space
protocol: layer2
addresses:
- 192.168.1.240-192.168.1.250

the config.addresses only have 10 IPs.

1. Create 10 Loadbalancer service(svc1 ~ svc10)，All ip resources are used.
2. when create the svc11 LoadBalancer service, because no ip,the LoadBalancer service external-ip is pedning status.
3. delete the svc1 will release an ip address，but the svc11 still pending.

I think the svc in pending state should assign the ip address when there is an available ip.

Can you share the details of the service, and the logs of the controller with log level set to debug?
-loglevel=debug iirc

Read the source code and take a closer look at the relevant processing logic.
when delete service, will return k8s.SyncStateReprocessAll, forceSync.
if svcRo == nil { c.deleteBalancer(l, name) // There might be other LBs stuck waiting for an IP, so when // we delete a balancer we should reprocess all of them to // check for newly feasible balancers. return k8s.SyncStateReprocessAll }
When modifying the service type，eg, LoadBalancer ---> NodePort/ClusterIP. Does not trigger the forceSync
if svc.Spec.Type != "LoadBalancer" { level.Debug(l).Log("event", "clearAssignment", "reason", "notLoadBalancer", "msg", "not a LoadBalancer") c.clearServiceState(key, svc) // Early return, we explicitly do *not* want to reallocate // an IP. return true }

Sorry @KillMaster9 , would you mind expanding your comment / scenario? Are you saying you changed the service type?

Yes, Changed service type，LoadBalancer ---> NodePort

1. Create 10 Loadbalancer service(svc1 ~ svc10)，All ip resources are used.
2. when create the svc11 LoadBalancer service, because no ip,the LoadBalancer service external-ip is pedning status.
3. changed the svc1 type (Loadbalancer ---> NodePort) will release an ip address，but the svc11 still pending.
