JIRA: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPNODE-4465
Epic: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPNODE-4463

What this PR does

Adds test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go — a new e2e test suite for the overlay.sync=filesystem .
overlay.sync=filesystem calls syncfs() before committing layer metadata to disk, ensuring that a hard node restart mid-pull cannot leave the image store in a corrupted or partially-committed state. The feature is specifically designed for SNO and disconnected environments, where image store durability on the single node is critical.
The option is enabled via a storage.conf drop-in file (/etc/containers/storage.conf.d/99-syncfs.conf) injected by an MCO MachineConfig. There is no ContainerRuntimeConfig API field or OCP FeatureGate for this option.

Test structure

All tests run under:

[sig-node][Jira:Node/CRI-O][apigroup:machineconfiguration.openshift.io][Serial][Disruptive]
[Suite:openshift/machine-config-operator/disruptive]
Each g.It is independently runnable. BeforeEach creates a single-node custom MachineConfigPool (scoped to one worker node) and AfterEach tears it down. A shared applyMachineConfig helper creates the MachineConfig and waits for the MCO rollout at the start of each test.

What it verifies

  • should accept overlay.sync=filesystem configuration via a MachineConfig drop-in
  • Drop-in file deployed to node; CRI-O active after config change
  • should allow image pulls and pod startup with overlay.sync=filesystem enabled
  • Fresh crictl pull succeeds; pod using that image reaches Running
  • should handle concurrent image pulls without deadlock with overlay.sync=filesystem enabled
  • 4 parallel crictl pull jobs complete; CRI-O remains active
  • should preserve previously-pulled images and allow new pods after overlay.sync=filesystem is disabled
  • MC deletion triggers rollback; images on node survive; new pod starts

Files changed
test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go

Output

Ran locally all the 4 test cases and it passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added end-to-end coverage for filesystem-based image synchronization on nodes, including configuration rollout, fresh and concurrent image pulls, and pod startup.
    • Added checks that CRI-O remains active and existing images remain available after the configuration is rolled back.

Walkthrough

Adds a disruptive node E2E suite for CRI-O overlay.sync=filesystem. The suite checks configuration rollout, image pulls, pod startup, and rollback behavior.

Changes

Filesystem Sync E2E Coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and roll out filesystem sync
test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go
The suite creates a pool-specific MachineConfig with the storage.conf drop-in, waits for rollout, and cleans up the configuration and pool.
Check image pulls and pod startup
test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go
The suite tests a fresh image pull and pod startup, then runs four concurrent pulls and checks that CRI-O remains active. The pod helper pins a restricted pod to the test node.
Check rollback and retained images
test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go
The suite removes the MachineConfig, waits for pool rollback, and checks that the drop-in is absent, CRI-O is active, recorded image IDs remain present, and a new pod reaches Running.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 507cd

The new tests can fail during cleanup or pass without proving a fresh pull or drop-in removal. Correct those checks before relying on the suite for those guarantees.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

All four It titles and the Describe title in test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go use fixed string literals. They contain no pod names, node or namespace names, timestamps, UUIDs, IPs, generated identifiers, or legacy metadata tokens. The titles describe the tested behavior without run-dependent values.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The new Ginkgo suite uses the unavailable machineconfiguration.openshift.io API through MachineConfig clients and resources. However, the enclosing Describe at test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go:50 includes [apigroup:machineconfiguration.openshift.io], which protects all nested tests from MicroShift CI. The suite also calls SkipOnMicroShift(oc) in BeforeEach at line 63.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

The added suite does not assume a multi-node or HA cluster. It selects one Ready worker node, creates an MCP scoped to that node, pins test pods to that same node, and runs concurrent pulls on that node. It does not use anti-affinity, topology spread, node-to-node communication, failover, rescheduling, scaling, distinct roles, or multiple endpoints. SNO-specific skip protection is therefore not required by this check.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds only an e2e test file, not a deployment, operator, or controller. The test selects a Ready node with the worker label and pins its temporary pod with NodeName; it does not add anti-affinity, topology spread, replica, PDB, or control-plane node selectors. The pod's broad toleration cannot move it to another node because NodeName is set. The test also skips HyperShift before node selection. These changes do not introduce a listed topology-incompatible scheduling constraint.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

The PR adds only test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go. Its top-level registration initializes a Ginkgo Describe block, but all framework.Logf, node commands, and assertions occur inside BeforeEach, AfterEach, or It callbacks, whose output is intercepted by the framework. The file has no main, init, TestMain, suite setup, or process-level stdout write, and it does not configure logging.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

No IPv4-specific code appears in the added suite. The test does not parse IPs, create network objects, or build URLs. Its image references pass through image.LocationFor, which maps the approved registry.k8s.io sources to the configured KUBE_TEST_REPO; the repository maps these images to the community-e2e-images mirror. The suite therefore does not directly require public registry access.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The pull request adds only test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go. The changed code contains no MD5, SHA-1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, or ECB usage, no custom cryptographic implementation, and no secret or token comparison. It uses encoding/base64 only to encode MachineConfig file content.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request adds one Go E2E test file. Its test pod sets RunAsUser 1000 and RunAsNonRoot true, drops all capabilities, and sets AllowPrivilegeEscalation false. The pod does not set privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, or SYS_ADMIN. No changed container runs as root.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The new suite has multiple cluster-related assertions without meaningful failure messages. For example, sync_filesystem.go:69,78,107,111,113,126,133,152,199,216,220,226,230,232,242,248,261 use bare NotTo(HaveOccurred()), which makes failures difficult to diagnose. Setup and cleanup use BeforeEach/AfterEach, pod cleanup uses DeferCleanup, and MCP waits have explicit 5- and 15-minute bounds. No unbounded Eventually or Consistently call was added. As a recommendation, all four new It blocks should use ote.Informing() before promotion to blocking coverage.

Resolution

Add a specific diagnostic message to every bare error assertion in test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go, including client creation, MCP creation and rollout, node commands, image pulls, rollback, and pod creation. For example, identify the operation and node or MCP name. Also consider importing ote and marking each newly added It block with ote.Informing().

- Around line 86-92: Guard the AfterEach cleanup flow before calling
deleteSyncFsMachineConfig when setup left mcClient nil or mcName empty, and
reset per-spec state at the start of BeforeEach before any early skip or
failure. After successful deletion, call WaitForMCP only when mcpConfig is
nonnil; mcName alone does not establish that an MCP exists.
- Line 149: Check the error returned by ExecOnNodeWithChroot for the
pre-existing image lookup in the test’s crictl images flow, and fail the test if
the lookup fails before deciding whether to remove the image. Preserve the
existing non-empty image ID removal behavior.
- Around line 236-238: Update the node-side check using ExecOnNodeWithChroot so
it succeeds only when the drop-in path is absent and emits an explicit absence
marker; assert that the command has no error and that its trimmed output matches
the marker, rather than treating any command error as proof of absence.

L31: ### Installing Ginkgo
L32: 
L33: Ginkgo uses 【20†go modules†go.dev】. To add Ginkgo to your project, assuming you have a `go.mod` file setup, just `go install` it:
L34: 
L35:     `go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo
L36:     go get github.com/onsi/gomega/...
L37:     `
L38: 
L39: This fetches Ginkgo and installs the `ginkgo` executable under `$GOBIN` - you&#39;ll want that on your `$PATH`. It also fetches the core Gomega matcher library and its set of supporting libraries. Note that the current supported major version of Ginkgo is `v2`.
L40: You should now be able to run `ginkgo version` at the command line and see the Ginkgo CLI emit a version number.
L41: 
L42: Note you must make sure the version of the `ginkgo` cli you install is the same as the version of Ginkgo in your `go.mod` file. You can do this by running `go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo` from your package.
L43: #### If you are running on MacOS
L44: 
L45: Ginkgo runs by using `go test -c` to compile test binaries for each subpackage. It then invokes those compiled binaries. MacOS&#39;s XProtect malware detector slows this process down substantially. You can disable 【21†XProtect for your terminal†stackoverflow.com】 by running:
L46: 
L47:     `spctl developer-mode enable-terminal
L48:     `
L49: 
L50: and then opening up System Settings &gt; Privacy &amp; Security &gt; Developer Tools and then adding your terminal to the list of developer tools.
L52: #### Upgrading Ginkgo
L53: 
L54: To upgrade Ginkgo run:
L55: 
L56:     `go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2
L57:     go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo
L58:     `
L59: 
L60: To pick a particular version:
L61: 
L62:     `go get github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2@v2.m.p
L63:     go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo
L64:     `
L1005:     import (
L1006:       . &quot;github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2&quot;
L1007:       . &quot;github.com/onsi/gomega&quot;
L1008: 
L1009:       &quot;path/to/db&quot;
L1010: 
L1011:       &quot;testing&quot;
L1012:     )
L1013:

L1015:     var dbClient *db.Client
L1016: 
L1017:     func TestBooks(t *testing.T) {
L1018:       RegisterFailHandler(Fail)
L1019:       RunSpecs(t, &quot;Books Suite&quot;)
L1020:     }
L1021: 
L1022:     var _ = BeforeSuite(func() {
L1023:       dbRunner = db.NewRunner()
L1024:       Expect(dbRunner.Start()).To(Succeed())
L1025: 
L1026:       dbClient = db.NewClient()
L1071: You typically use a matcher library, like 【3†Gomega†github.com】 to make assertions in your spec. When a Gomega assertion fails, Gomega generates a failure message and passes it to Ginkgo to signal that the spec has failed. It does this via Ginkgo&#39;s global `Fail` function. Of course, you&#39;re allowed to call this function directly yourself:
L1072: 
L1073:     `It(&quot;can read books&quot;, func() {
L1074:       if book.Title == &quot;Les Miserables&quot; &amp;&amp; user.Age &lt;= 3 {
L1075:         Fail(&quot;User is too young for this book&quot;)
L1076:       }
L1077:       user.Read(book)
L1078:     })
L1079:     `
L1080: whether in a setup or subject node, whenever `Fail` is called Ginkgo will mark the spec as failed and record and display the message passed to `Fail`.
L1081: But there&#39;s more. The `Fail` function panics when it is called. This allows Ginkgo to stop the current closure in its tracks - no subsequent assertions or code in the closure will run. Ginkgo is quite opinionated about this behavior - if an assertion has failed then the current spec is not in an expected state and subsequent assertions will likely fail. This fast-fail approach is especially useful when running slow complex integration tests. It cannot be disabled.

This allows Ginkgo to stop the current closure in its tracks - no subsequent assertions or code in the closure will run. Ginkgo is quite opinionated about this behavior - if an assertion has failed then the current spec is not in an expected state and subsequent assertions will likely fail. This fast-fail approach is especially useful when running slow complex integration tests. It cannot be disabled.

When a failure occurs in a `BeforeEach`, `JustBeforeEach`, or `It` closure Ginkgo halts execution of the current spec and cleans up by invoking any registered `AfterEach` or `JustAfterEach` closures (and any registered `DeferCleanup` closures if applicable). This is important to ensure the spec state is cleaned up.

Ginkgo orchestrates this behavior by rescuing the panic thrown by `Fail` and unwinding the spec. However, if your spec launches a goroutine that calls `Fail` (or, equivalently, invokes a failing Gomega assertion), there&#39;s no way for Ginkgo to rescue the panic that `Fail` throws. This will cause the suite to panic and no subsequent specs will run. #### Failure Handling in Ordered Containers

Normally, when a spec fails, Ginkgo moves on to the next spec. This is possible because Ginkgo assumes, by default, that all specs are independent. However, `Ordered` containers explicitly opt in to a different behavior. Spec independence cannot be guaranteed in `Ordered` containers, so Ginkgo treats failures differently.

When a spec in an `Ordered` container fails, all subsequent specs are skipped. Ginkgo will then run any `AfterAll` node closures to clean up after the specs.

You can override this behavior by decorating an `Ordered` container with `ContinueOnFailure`. This is useful in cases where `Ordered` is being used to provide shared expensive set up for a collection of specs. When `ContinueOnFailure` is set, Ginkgo will continue running specs even if an earlier spec in the `Ordered` container has failed. If, however, a `BeforeAll` or `OncePerOrdered` `BeforeEach` node has failed, Ginkgo will skip all subsequent specs as the setup for the collection specs is presumed to have failed.
    PDescribe(&quot;these specs aren&#39;t ready for primetime&quot;, func() { ... })
    XDescribe(&quot;these specs aren&#39;t ready for primetime&quot;, func() { ... })
    PIt(&quot;needs work&quot;, func() { ... })
    XIt(&quot;placeholder&quot;)
    PDescribeTable(&quot;under development&quot;, func() {...}, ...)
    XEntry(&quot;this one isn&#39;t working yet&quot;)
    `

Ginkgo will never run a pending spec. If all other specs in the suite pass, the suite will be considered successful. You can, however, run `ginkgo --fail-on-pending` to have Ginkgo fail the suite if it detects any pending specs. This can be useful on CI if you want to enforce a policy that pending specs should not be committed to source control.

Note that pending specs are declared at compile time. You cannot mark a spec as pending dynamically at runtime. For that, keep reading...

Guard cleanup when setup did not initialize state.

Ginkgo runs AfterEach after a failed or skipped BeforeEach. If setup stops before NewForConfig, mcClient is nil and deleteSyncFsMachineConfig can panic. Reset per-spec state before the early hooks. Also wait for MCP rollback only when mcpConfig is nonnil; mcName is assigned before MCP creation and does not prove that a pool exists.

Suggested fix
 	g.BeforeEach(func(ctx context.Context) {
+		mcClient, mcpConfig, testNode, mcName = nil, nil, "", ""
 		SkipOnMicroShift(oc)
 	g.AfterEach(func() {
+		if mcClient == nil || mcName == "" {
+			return
+		}
 		cleanupCtx := context.Background()
-		} else {
+		} else if mcpConfig != nil {
 			if waitErr := WaitForMCP(cleanupCtx, mcClient, mcpName, 15*time.Minute); waitErr != nil {
 				framework.Logf("Warning: MCP %q did not settle after MC removal: %v", mcpName, waitErr)
 			}

Review comment at @test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go around lines 86 - 92:
Guard the AfterEach cleanup flow before calling deleteSyncFsMachineConfig when
setup left mcClient nil or mcName empty, and reset per-spec state at the start
of BeforeEach before any early skip or failure. After successful deletion, call
WaitForMCP only when mcpConfig is nonnil; mcName alone does not establish that
an MCP exists.

Fail when the pre-existing image lookup fails.

A failed crictl images -q lookup leaves the test able to skip crictl rmi and proceed to a successful crictl pull. The test can therefore pass without establishing a fresh pull. Logging the error alone does not preserve the fresh-pull contract.

Review comment at @test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go at line 149:
Check the error returned by ExecOnNodeWithChroot for the pre-existing image
lookup in the test’s crictl images flow, and fail the test if the lookup fails
before deciding whether to remove the image. Preserve the existing non-empty
image ID removal behavior.

Require a successful node-side absence check.

ExecOnNodeWithChroot returns errors from the oc debug process itself. The current assertion treats those errors as proof that the drop-in is absent. Use a check that succeeds only when the path is absent and emits an explicit marker.

This also avoids converting a test error into absent.

Update the node-side check using ExecOnNodeWithChroot so it succeeds only when
the drop-in path is absent and emits an explicit absence marker; assert that the
command has no error and that its trimmed output matches the marker, rather than
treating any command error as proof of absence.

Chai test selection for 507cd37d757ba8fcdf52e4e5a5de25eabb7849ea → main

None.

Reason: Empty selection: purely additive test code with no production code changes. Changed surface: Single new file test/extended/node/sync_filesystem.go — 345 lines added, 0 deleted, 0 existing files modified. Adds e2e tests for CRI-O overlay.sync=filesystem via MachineConfig drop-in. No production code, vendor, dependency, build input, or existing test changes. First-stage coverage: All passed — images confirms the openshift-tests binary compiles correctly with the new file; unit, lint, verify, and verify-deps confirm code quality and no dependency impact. Why no candidate applies: The new tests are tagged [Suite:openshift/machine-config-operator/disruptive] and are NOT in [Suite:openshift/conformance/serial] or [Suite:openshift/conformance/parallel]. No candidate job exercises the MCO disruptive suite — general e2e, serial conformance, and focused suite jobs (CSI, builds, image-registry, kubevirt, upgrade, etc.) all run different test selections. MicroShift candidates are explicitly skipped by SkipOnMicroShift. vSphere candidates have pipeline_run_if_changed: ^$. Since this is purely new test code with zero production behavior changes, no functional regression is possible and no unrelated job should substitute for the missing MCO suite.
