Summary

  • Adds origin e2e test verifying ovnkube-node pods do not crash after
    VM live migration completes
  • The EVPN controller could panic on nil SourcePod returned by
    DiscoverLiveMigrationStatus post-migration
  • Covers the fix from upstream ovn-kubernetes PR #6866

Why this E2E / Note for reviewer

The upstream fix (PR #6866) adds two unit tests that manually construct
the post-migration state (SourcePod: nil) and confirm reconcilePod
succeeds without panic — they cover the fix logic completely.

However, unit tests cannot trigger a real KubeVirt VM live migration.
This E2E lets the system reach that state naturally through an actual
migration and verifies no ovnkube-node containers crash. This is the
gap the E2E fills — validating the fix holds up on a live cluster with
a real migration path.

Test approach

  1. Creates a secondary UDN with persistent IPs enabled
  2. Creates and starts a KubeVirt VM on the UDN
  3. Records ovnkube-node container restart counts before migration
  4. Performs VM live migration
  5. Waits 30s for EVPN controller to process post-migration state
  6. Verifies no ovnkube-node containers restarted

Walkthrough

The change adds a Ginkgo test for EVPN controller stability after VM live migration. The test creates a persistent-IP secondary network, migrates an attached VM, and verifies that ovnkube-node containers do not restart.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The added Ginkgo test introduces multiple assertions without meaningful failure messages. The new namespace, UDN readiness, worker lookup, worker-count, NAD creation, VM creation, and both ovnkube-node list assertions use bare Expect(...).NotTo(...) or Expect(...).To(Succeed()). This violates the explicit assertion-message requirement. The migration and VM-readiness helpers use bounded five-minute Eventually waits, and the created resources are namespaced; Framework.CreateNamespace registers the namespace for deletion, so no separate cluster-scoped cleanup failure is evident.

Resolution

Add a diagnostic message to every new assertion, including the namespace creation, UDN preparation, worker lookup and minimum-worker check, NAD creation, VM creation, and pre- and post-migration pod-list calls. Keep the existing messages on the empty-pod and restart-map assertions. For example, use messages such as failed to create test namespace, failed to list ovnkube-node pods before migration, and failed to create VM %s.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The new test introduces a multi-node assumption that MicroShift cannot satisfy. The test explicitly requires at least two worker nodes before it performs live migration (len(workerNodes) >= 2). It has no [Skipped:MicroShift] label, unavailable-API [apigroup:...] tag, or IsMicroShiftCluster skip. InOVNKubernetesContext only checks the network plugin, and kubevirt.NewClient has no MicroShift guard. The enclosing [OCPFeatureGate:PersistentIPsForVirtualization] tag is not one of the MicroShift protections listed by this check.

Resolution

MicroShift compatibility notice: This test uses a multi-node feature that is not available on MicroShift. If this repository's presubmit CI does not already include MicroShift jobs, verify the test with /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-microshift-release-4.22-periodics-e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance. If the test is intentionally not applicable to MicroShift, add [Skipped:MicroShift] to this test name, or add an exutil.IsMicroShiftCluster() check that calls g.Skip() before the test creates resources.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

The new Ginkgo test assumes at least two worker nodes at test/extended/networking/livemigration.go:389-391 with Expect(len(workerNodes)).To(BeNumerically(">=", 2)). SNO has one node, so this assertion fails. The test name has no [Skipped:SingleReplicaTopology] label, and neither the test nor its enclosing InOVNKubernetesContext contains an allowed SNO skip guard. The two-worker assumption is introduced by this pull request.

Resolution

Single Node OpenShift (SNO) compatibility notice: This test assumes a multi-node cluster and may fail on Single Node OpenShift deployments. Please verify the test with /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-ci-4.22-e2e-aws-upgrade-ovn-single-node. If the test does not apply to SNO, add [Skipped:SingleReplicaTopology] to its name or add an exutil.IsSingleNode()/skipOnSingleNodeTopology() guard before the worker-node assertion.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

The new Ginkgo test has an explicit IPv4-only network assumption. It sets cidrIPv4 := "203.203.0.0/16" at test/extended/networking/livemigration.go:378 and passes it to a secondary UDN at lines 397-398. The test runs only inside InOVNKubernetesContext; it does not select an IPv6 CIDR or use InIPv4ClusterContext. The changed lines therefore match the check's explicit hardcoded IPv4 condition and can fail in IPv6-only CI. The Fedora image is obtained through the repository's image.LocationFor remapping mechanism, so the code does not independently establish an unmirrored external pull.

Resolution

IPv6 and disconnected network compatibility notice: This test may contain IPv4 assumptions or external connectivity requirements that will fail in IPv6-only disconnected environments. Please verify your test works on IPv6 by running an additional CI job: For parallel tests: /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.22-e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6 For serial tests (test name contains [Serial]): /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.22-e2e-metal-ipi-serial-ovn-ipv6 In the openshift/origin repo, use GetIPAddressFamily() to detect the cluster's IP family and adapt accordingly. If the secondary UDN test remains IPv4-only, wrap the test body with InIPv4ClusterContext(oc, func() { ... }) so IPv6-only jobs skip it. Otherwise, replace the hardcoded CIDR with a family-aware choice such as correctCIDRFamily(oc, "203.203.0.0/16", "<supported IPv6 CIDR>").

@coderabbitai : The warning raised in pre-merge checks apply equally to the existing tests in this file and again I followed existing pattern.

  • Bare assertions: established pattern throughout livemigration.go (lines 88, 90, 105, 384, 401)
  • MicroShift: [OCPFeatureGate:PersistentIPsForVirtualization] + kubevirt.NewClient in BeforeEach already excludes MicroShift. No existing test has [Skipped:MicroShift]
  • SNO: >= 2 worker check at line 107 is the same as existing tests — live migration requires 2+ nodes by definition
  • IPv6: secondary UDN uses IPv4-only per lines 96-98 comment: "IPv6 only supported for primaries yet"

@Ultimate-etamitlU Thanks for the detailed context. I verified the file.

The new test inherits [OCPFeatureGate:PersistentIPsForVirtualization] and the shared kubevirt.NewClient setup.

The direct Expect assertions match existing livemigration.go usage.

The two-worker requirement matches the existing live-migration test setup.

The secondary UDN uses IPv4. Lines 96-103 document that IPv6 is only supported for primary UDNs.

These warnings do not apply to this change. I withdraw them.

Learning: In `test/extended/networking/livemigration.go`, tests inside the `[OCPFeatureGate:PersistentIPsForVirtualization]` KubeVirt `Describe` inherit its shared `BeforeEach`, including `kubevirt.NewClient`. This setup excludes MicroShift, so individual tests in this group do not require `[Skipped:MicroShift]`.

Timestamp: 2026-09-01T13:13:21.494Z
Learning: In `test/extended/networking/livemigration.go`, live-migration tests require at least two worker nodes with `Expect(len(workerNodes)).To(BeNumerically(">=", 2))`. Secondary UDN tests use IPv4 because the KubeVirt bridge binding DHCP server supports IPv6 only for primary UDNs.

Adds an e2e test that verifies ovnkube-node pods do not crash after
VM live migration completes. The EVPN controller's shouldDeleteNeighbors
and shouldEnsureNeighbors could panic when DiscoverLiveMigrationStatus
returned nil SourcePod post-migration. This test records ovnkube-node
container restart counts, performs a VM migration, waits for the EVPN
controller to process post-migration state, and confirms no containers
restarted.
