- What I did

Fixed extension package verification so it runs during non-boot sync in syncNode, not only at boot time in checkStateOnFirstRun. Previously, triggering re-verification required an MCD pod restart, but the bind mount on /usr/bin/rpm created in the host's mount namespace was not always visible to the new container (particularly on vSphere where hostPath recursive bind mount behavior differs from AWS).

Changes across three commits:

  1. Add extension verification to non-boot sync path — the running MCD can now detect missing extension packages without a pod restart. Also clears the Degraded state when a previously-degraded node passes extension verification on a subsequent sync.

  2. Fix TC 89095 to use node annotation instead of MCD pod restart — replaces pod deletion with a node annotation change that triggers a re-sync of the running MCD. This keeps the original MCD pod running so HostToContainer mount propagation ensures the bind-mounted fake rpm is visible.

  3. Harden extension verification error handling — handles non-ENOENT errors from getCurrentConfigOnDisk, scopes degraded-state clearing to extension-related degradation only, returns SetAnnotations errors, and removes a redundant nil check.

Fixes: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-116462

- How to verify it

  • Run TC 89095 on vSphere — the test should pass without requiring an MCD pod restart
  • Verify that extension verification runs during non-boot sync by checking MCD logs after a node annotation change
  • Verify that non-extension-related degraded states are not cleared by extension verification success

- Description for the changelog

Fix extension package verification to run during non-boot sync, avoiding bind mount visibility issues on vSphere when the MCD pod is restarted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Extension packages are now verified against the node’s current configuration after a successful sync when applicable.
    • Sync operations report an error if extension package verification fails.
    • Existing degraded node status is cleared when the node returns to a completed state.
  • Tests

    • Improved extension package verification coverage, including recovery after reboot and controlled sync triggering.

OpenShift CI Bot and others added 2 commits September 4, 2026 10:08
Extension package verification previously only ran during
checkStateOnFirstRun at boot time. When the MCD pod was restarted to
trigger re-verification, the bind mount on /usr/bin/rpm created in the
host's mount namespace was not always visible to the new container,
particularly on vSphere where the hostPath recursive bind mount
behavior differs from AWS.

Add extension verification to the non-boot sync path in syncNode so
the running MCD can detect missing extension packages without a pod
restart. Also add logic to clear the Degraded state when a
previously-degraded node passes extension verification on a subsequent
sync.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the MCD pod deletion in TC 89095 with a node annotation change
that triggers a re-sync of the running MCD. This avoids the bind mount
visibility issue where a new MCD container created after pod deletion
may not see the bind mount on /usr/bin/rpm, causing the test to always
fail on vSphere.

By keeping the original MCD pod running, the HostToContainer mount
propagation ensures the bind-mounted fake rpm is visible, and the
non-boot sync path added in the companion daemon commit performs
extension verification and correctly degrades the node.

Walkthrough

The daemon verifies extension packages after a successful no-update sync when an on-disk configuration exists. It clears degraded node state after successful synchronization. The extended-privilege test now triggers re-sync through a node annotation.

Changes

Extension sync validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Daemon sync validation
pkg/daemon/daemon.go
syncNode verifies installed extension packages against the on-disk configuration and returns an error when verification fails. Successful syncs change degraded nodes to Done and clear the degraded reason annotation.
Extension verification test flow
test/extended-priv/mco_extensions.go
The test replaces the fake RPM after the MCP update and triggers MCD re-sync with test.openshift.io/trigger-sync instead of deleting the MCD pod.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c5caf

The change enables extension checks during normal synchronization, but it can incorrectly report success, conceal unrelated node degradation, or skip verification after configuration-read failures. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The changed Ginkgo test leaves a persistent cluster-scoped Node annotation. It adds test.openshift.io/trigger-sync=&lt;testID&gt; at lines 234-238, but its existing deferred cleanup only restores rpm, deletes the MachineConfig, and recovers the MCP. The repository provides RemoveAnnotationFromSpecificResource, so this new cluster mutation has an available cleanup path. The test otherwise has meaningful assertion messages, and its direct Eventually calls and WaitForUpdatedStatus use bounded waits; the existing cleanup Eventually(mc.Delete) was not introduced by this change.

Resolution

Register cleanup for test.openshift.io/trigger-sync immediately after the annotation succeeds. Remove the annotation, or restore its original value if one existed, in a deferred cleanup function. Assert or otherwise report cleanup errors with the node name.

Propagate on-disk configuration errors.

This condition treats every getCurrentConfigOnDisk error as “no configuration.” A malformed configuration or a current-image read failure therefore skips extension verification and allows the sync to continue.

Handle only os.IsNotExist as an absent configuration. Return other errors.

Proposed fix
-			if odc, odcErr := dn.getCurrentConfigOnDisk(); odcErr == nil && odc != nil {
+			odc, odcErr := dn.getCurrentConfigOnDisk()
+			if odcErr != nil && !os.IsNotExist(odcErr) {
+				return fmt.Errorf("failed to read current configuration on disk: %w", odcErr)
+			}
+			if odcErr == nil && odc != nil {

As per path instructions, Go code must never ignore error returns.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Limit degraded-state clearing to extension verification.

This block runs outside the IsCoreOSVariant guard and does not inspect MachineConfigDaemonReasonAnnotationKey. It can clear unrelated degraded states, including on nodes where no extension verification ran.

Gate this transition on the extension-verification path and the extension-specific degraded reason.

The PR objective requires degraded-state clearing to be scoped to extension-related degradation.

Propagate annotation update failures.

When SetAnnotations fails, syncNode logs the error and returns success. The node can remain Degraded while the daemon reports a successful synchronization.

Return a wrapped error so the failed state transition is not treated as successful.

As per path instructions, Go code must never ignore error returns. The PR objective also requires annotation-setting errors to propagate.
