Discussion about 1.37 rebase: https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/C0BMWHEMSMD/p1788372115103509 |
It is GA in Kubernetes 1.37 and having it disabled breaks Kubernetes tests that filter test by `[Feature:OffByDefault]` and not by the gates in API. And we want it enabled + GA in OCP 5.1 anyway.

Kubernetes SELinuxMount feature gate stable v1.37 beta v1.36 default
💡 Result:
The SELinuxMount feature gate reached stable (General Availability) status and was enabled by default in Kubernetes v1.37 [1][2]. In Kubernetes v1.36, the SELinuxMount feature gate was in Beta and disabled by default [3][4][2]. Users were advised to audit their clusters and apply opt-outs (using the spec.securityContext.seLinuxChangePolicy field) in preparation for the v1.37 transition [3][5]. With the graduation to stable in v1.37, volumes are now mounted with the -o context mount option by default, provided the volume's CSI driver has opted in by setting the CSIDriver spec.seLinuxMount field to true [1][6]. This change replaces the older recursive relabeling model for supported volumes [1][6]. Workloads that rely on the previous recursive behavior—such as pods with different SELinux labels sharing a volume on the same node—can retain that behavior by explicitly setting spec.securityContext.seLinuxChangePolicy to Recursive on the Pod [1][6]. Clusters without SELinux enabled are unaffected by this change [1][6].

Keep SELinuxMount out of default feature sets for Kubernetes 1.36 consumers.
This repository pins Kubernetes dependencies at v0.36.2. Kubernetes 1.36 keeps SELinuxMount beta and disabled by default, while Kubernetes 1.37 enables it by default. If these feature sets reach Kubernetes 1.36 binaries, this line enables the gate prematurely. Target Kubernetes 1.37 consumers or keep the gate in preview sets.

What is the state of this gate in 1.36? If we were to drop the feature gate definition entirely, how would that change things? It would mean the gate is promoted as part of the rebase to 1.37, and we no longer have an opinion here. If the gate is off by default in 1.36, then development branches would lose the feature for now in techpreview, is that an issue? |
|
It was beta + disabled by default in 1.36, it's GA + enabled by default in 1.37 (+ not locked to default).
From my point of view no, losing test coverage in TP won't change much to us (the storage team). It has been in CI since forever in OCP (except hypershift) and upstream and we don't plan any change in the code. But from process stand point, shouldn't be there rules to promote a feature to GA, regardless how it gets enabled in OCP? It's like we will close our eyes for a month or two (rebases take time) and just hope nobody breaks it in between :-D. |

That is a fair point. It was more that we have had occasions in the past where folks have had issues with promoting features here and have had to remove the opinion here to get the rebase to go through I'm happy to continue down the path of promoting here. Any thoughts on the feature promotion data? |
|
Checking Sippy it looks like we have green across the board except low runs on two metal variants |
|
We will get enough bare metal coverage early next week, which is fine with me. Or you could add also 5.0 into your search and we have enough coverage there. The code is the same - we have the same k/k in 5.0 and 5.1 so far. |

It is GA in Kubernetes 1.37 and having it disabled breaks Kubernetes tests in 1.37 rebase, because they filter by
[Feature:OffByDefault]and not by the gates in API. And we want it enabled + GA in OCP 5.1 anyway.The feature is in TP jobs since 4.20, missing coverage is caused by the serial jobs not running often enough.
