What / Why

Fixes OCPBUGS-115163: the [sig-cluster-lifecycle] Cluster version operator acknowledges upgrade check can time out while the CVO is legitimately retrieving a slow release payload, producing a false acknowledgement failure.

The acknowledgement check waited only for status.observedGeneration to catch up, within a fixed per-platform timeout (2m default / 4m OpenStack / 10m bare metal). The CVO advances observedGeneration only after the release payload has been retrieved, verified, and accepted. A slow release-image retrieval therefore outlasts the fixed window even while the CVO is making progress, and the test fails (or, over 2m, flaked).

Approach

This supersedes the earlier attempt in #31583. That PR made the check accept a "payload-retrieval started" signal as acknowledgement. One of the fears is that is not correct. Acknowledgement is meant to prove the CVO can actually start updating, and payload download + validation is a precondition. Accepting "retrieval started" would let an actual download/verification failure pass the check, with no bounded place left to catch it.

Instead, this keeps acknowledgement gated on the payload actually being accepted, but makes the wait aware of payload-retrieval state via the CVO ReleaseAccepted ClusterVersion condition:

  • Succeed as soon as observedGeneration catches up (payload accepted) — unchanged success criterion.
  • Fail fast when ReleaseAccepted=False for the requested release, i.e. the CVO tried and could not retrieve or verify the payload — bounded and immediate. Only the condition reason (a fixed CVO step identifier) is surfaced; the raw message is omitted to avoid leaking the requested image or internal registry hostnames into JUnit output and cluster events.
  • Tolerate exceeding the short per-platform timeout only while the CVO shows a target-matched ReleaseAccepted condition (evidence it is actively retrieving), up to a bounded hard cap (maxCVOUpdateAckTimeout = 15m). A CVO that never picks up the request still fails at the short timeout.

This removes the false timeout without losing detection of a real payload retrieval/validation failure, and the wait is always bounded — a stuck or failed retrieval never leaves the test waiting indefinitely nor lets it pass without the payload being validated. This directly answers the review contract on #31583 ("detect that retrieval started, and still fail, bounded, when retrieval/validation does not complete or fails").

The ReleaseAccepted condition (not RetrievePayload events) is used deliberately, so the event-list API-failure and log-sanitization problems seen in #31583 do not recur. Target matching keys on the release image (or version, for version-only requests) recorded in the condition message, since observedGeneration/status.desired only advance after acceptance and cannot identify the in-progress target.

The former flake-on-slow-ack branch is replaced with a telemetry log line, since a slow-but-progressing retrieval is now a legitimate, bounded wait.

Note: the underlying retrieval slowness is also being addressed upstream in openshift/cluster-version-operator#1361 (watcher/ListOptions performance). This change hardens the test itself so it does not raise false failures regardless.

Testing

Local, on the changed package:

  • go test ./test/e2e/upgrade/ — new table-driven unit tests for releaseAcceptedForTarget (in-progress match, failure match, stale/other-image ignored, version-only match/non-match) pass.
  • go vet ./test/e2e/upgrade/ — clean.
  • gofmt -l — clean.
  • go build ./test/e2e/... ./cmd/openshift-tests/ — the e2e tree and the openshift-tests binary compile.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Upgrade monitoring now accurately recognizes acceptance of requested releases by image or version.
    • Upgrade checks validate requested updates at the correct generation, reducing premature or inconsistent results.
    • Upgrade acknowledgement and completion checks now honor cancellation and time limits, tolerate expected platform-specific delays, and report explicit release rejection promptly.
    • Improved handling of slow successful acknowledgements reduces upgrade test flakiness.

What / Why

Fixes OCPBUGS-115163: the [sig-cluster-lifecycle] Cluster version operator acknowledges upgrade check can time out while the CVO is legitimately retrieving a slow release payload, producing a false acknowledgement failure.

The acknowledgement check waited only for status.observedGeneration to catch up, within a fixed per-platform timeout (2m default / 4m OpenStack / 10m bare metal). The CVO advances observedGeneration only after the release payload has been retrieved, verified, and accepted. A slow release-image retrieval therefore outlasts the fixed window even while the CVO is making progress, and the test fails (or, over 2m, flaked).

Approach

This supersedes the earlier attempt in #31583. That PR made the check accept a "payload-retrieval started" signal as acknowledgement. As @petr-muller (former CVO engineer) pointed out, that is not correct: acknowledgement is meant to prove the CVO can actually start updating, and payload download + validation is a precondition — accepting "retrieval started" would let a genuine download/verification failure pass the check, with no bounded place left to catch it.

Instead, this keeps acknowledgement gated on the payload actually being accepted, but makes the wait aware of payload-retrieval state via the CVO ReleaseAccepted ClusterVersion condition:

  • Succeed as soon as observedGeneration catches up (payload accepted) — unchanged success criterion.
  • Fail fast when ReleaseAccepted=False for the requested release, i.e. the CVO tried and could not retrieve or verify the payload — bounded and immediate, with the CVO's reason/message surfaced.
  • Tolerate exceeding the short per-platform timeout only while the CVO shows a target-matched ReleaseAccepted condition (evidence it is actively retrieving), up to a bounded hard cap (maxCVOUpdateAckTimeout = 15m). A CVO that never picks up the request still fails at the short timeout.

Walkthrough

The upgrade monitor now matches ReleaseAccepted conditions to requested payloads. The acknowledgement wait uses bounded, context-aware polling, target-specific rejection handling, retrieval-progress checks, and context propagation during completion polling.

Changes

CVO upgrade acknowledgement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target validation and condition matching
test/e2e/upgrade/monitor.go, test/e2e/upgrade/monitor_test.go
versionMonitor.Check accepts a context and validates the desired update when the observed generation equals the patched generation. releaseAcceptedForTarget matches image or version targets. Tests cover absent, matching, stale-image, version-only, and failed conditions.
Bounded acknowledgement polling
test/e2e/upgrade/upgrade.go
The acknowledgement wait uses platform and hard-cap time limits with context-aware polling. It handles observed generations, target-specific rejection, retrieval progress, and slow successful acknowledgements. Upgrade-completion polling passes context to monitor.Check.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 33fc5

The upgrade acknowledgement monitor now accounts for target-specific payload retrieval and rejection states with bounded waiting. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The pull request introduces no dynamic Ginkgo test titles. The existing Describe and It titles in upgrade.go remain static string literals. The new table-driven Go subtest names in monitor_test.go are also fixed descriptive strings and contain no pod names, timestamps, UUIDs, node or namespace names, IP addresses, or runtime values. Target versions and images are used only in test bodies.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS. The added test is a table-driven unit test with independent subtests and clear t.Fatalf messages. It creates only in-memory ClusterVersion values, so no cluster resource cleanup is required. The changed Ginkgo upgrade flow uses PollImmediateWithContext with bounded timeouts: 15 minutes for acknowledgement and 150 minutes for completion. No new Eventually or Consistently call lacks a timeout, and no new resource setup lacks cleanup. The changed Ginkgo blocks add no unrelated assertions or setup behavior.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds one test, TestReleaseAcceptedForTarget, using the standard Go testing package. It is not a new Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, or When test, and it creates configv1.ClusterVersion objects locally without contacting a cluster. The existing Ginkgo upgrade suite and its ClusterVersion-based workflow predate this pull request. No new MicroShift-unprotected Ginkgo test was introduced.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no new Ginkgo e2e tests. The new test is a standard Go testing.T unit test for releaseAcceptedForTarget, and the existing Ginkgo declarations are unchanged. The changed upgrade logic adds no multi-node or HA assumption.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only test/e2e/upgrade/monitor.go, monitor_test.go, and upgrade.go. The changes update upgrade polling, context handling, and ReleaseAccepted condition matching. The patch adds no deployment manifests, controllers, workloads, replicas, affinity, topology spread constraints, node selectors, tolerations, or PDBs. Therefore it does not introduce a topology-dependent scheduling constraint covered by this check.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

No changed code writes non-JSON data to process stdout. The only new logging call is framework.Logf, which writes to GinkgoWriter, an explicitly allowed destination. The other changed output call remains fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr), and the klog.Errorf call was pre-existing. The new top-level const and test declarations perform no output.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds a standard Go unit test (TestReleaseAcceptedForTarget), not a new Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, or When test. The quay.io strings are inert test data used for message matching; the test does not pull an image or connect to the registry. The changed upgrade polling code adds no IPv4 literals, IPv4-only parsing, URL construction, or external network calls. Existing Ginkgo declarations were not added by this change.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

The pull request introduces no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, or ECB usage. The changed code only uses context propagation, polling, condition matching, and string comparisons for release version/image fields. It adds no cryptographic implementation and does not compare secrets or tokens.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request changes only Go source and test files: test/e2e/upgrade/monitor.go, monitor_test.go, and upgrade.go. The added lines contain no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation, or securityContext declarations. No changed code creates containers or pods. The check has no applicable failure condition.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

No new sensitive data is written to logs or events. The new slow-ack log contains only durations and a timeout. The new failure text includes only the ReleaseAccepted status and its reason; it omits the condition message, which can contain the release image, registry hostname, and retrieval error. The target image is used only for in-memory matching. Existing logs that print upgrade image values and full condition data were unchanged by this pull request.

The "Cluster version operator acknowledges upgrade" check waited only for
status.observedGeneration to catch up, within a fixed per-platform timeout.
The CVO advances observedGeneration only after the release payload has been
retrieved, verified, and accepted, so a slow release-image retrieval can blow
the timeout and fail the test even though the CVO is legitimately making
progress.

Rather than accept a "retrieval started" signal as acknowledgement (which would
hide a genuine download/verification failure), keep acknowledgement gated on the
payload actually being accepted, but make the wait aware of payload-retrieval
state via the CVO ReleaseAccepted condition:

  - succeed as soon as observedGeneration catches up (payload accepted);
  - fail fast when ReleaseAccepted=False for the requested release, i.e. the CVO
    tried and could not retrieve or verify the payload;
  - tolerate exceeding the short per-platform timeout only while the CVO shows a
    target-matched ReleaseAccepted condition (evidence it is actively
    retrieving), up to a bounded hard cap. A CVO that never picks up the request
    still fails at the short timeout.

This removes the false timeout without losing detection of a real payload
retrieval/validation failure, and the wait is always bounded. The former
flake-on-slow-ack behaviour is replaced with a telemetry log line, since a
slow-but-progressing retrieval is now a legitimate, bounded wait.

Thread a cancellable context (bounded by the acknowledgement hard cap) through
the acknowledgement poll and versionMonitor.Check so API reads honor
cancellation, and validate the desired update at the exact generation-equality
boundary (>=) so a request replaced by another actor is not acknowledged.

The fail-fast error surfaces only the ReleaseAccepted condition reason (a fixed
CVO step identifier); the raw condition message is omitted because it echoes the
requested image and retrieval error, which can carry internal registry
hostnames or other sensitive data into JUnit output and cluster events.

/override-sticky ci/prow/e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6

Automated triage: This failure appears unrelated to the PR changes.

Job classification: Eligible long-running e2e presubmit for bare-metal IPI with OVN on IPv6. The job definition uses the bare-metal cluster profile and the baremetalds-e2e-ovn-ipv6 workflow; its test phase is baremetalds-e2e-test.
Revision check: run 33fc58118ba1a9b0fcec7b41c3914586b8f3d3a5; current PR HEAD 33fc58118ba1a9b0fcec7b41c3914586b8f3d3a5; match. The Prow metadata endpoint did not return a separate run SHA, so the incoming run SHA and live PR HEAD are the verified revision pair.
Execution status: Tests executed extensively: 2,251 tests ran, with 2,125 passed, 96 failed (91 flakes and 5 net failures), and 30 skipped. The failing test step ran for about 2 hours.
Completed supporting jobs: ci/prow/e2e-aws-ovn-upgrade-rollback, ci/prow/e2e-vsphere-ovn, ci/prow/e2e-vsphere-ovn-upi, ci/prow/unit, ci/prow/lint, ci/prow/verify, ci/prow/go-verify-deps, and ci/prow/verify-deps passed. tide is pending and is not counted as positive signal.
Overlap assessment: The PR changes test/e2e/upgrade/monitor.go, test/e2e/upgrade/monitor_test.go, and test/e2e/upgrade/upgrade.go. The observed failures were in unrelated sig-network/router/network-segmentation setup and API access, not upgrade acknowledgement behavior. There is no plausible direct overlap; the only indirect relationship is shared test-cluster/API infrastructure.
Missing-coverage risk: Low for this decision. The run completed most of the suite before the infrastructure disruption, and the changed upgrade code has passing unit and upgrade-related e2e signal. The interrupted bare-metal IPv6/OVN coverage should still be rerun when capacity permits.
Rationale: At 18:52 UTC, the log records simultaneous proxy connection timeouts for Kubernetes API, OAuth API, and OpenShift API backends. The failures then occurred during test setup/API operations across multiple sig-network tests, while the disruption monitor recorded DisruptionBegan events. This is a known CI infrastructure failure pattern, not a failure caused by the PR's upgrade-monitor changes.

If you disagree with this assessment, rerun the current job with /test e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6.

Revision check: run 33fc58118ba1a9b0fcec7b41c3914586b8f3d3a5; current PR HEAD 33fc58118ba1a9b0fcec7b41c3914586b8f3d3a5; match. The Prow metadata endpoint did not return a separate run SHA, so the incoming run SHA and live PR HEAD are the verified revision pair.
Execution status: Tests executed extensively: 2,251 tests ran, with 2,125 passed, 96 failed (91 flakes and 5 net failures), and 30 skipped. The failing test step ran for about 2 hours.
Completed supporting jobs: ci/prow/e2e-aws-ovn-upgrade-rollback, ci/prow/e2e-vsphere-ovn, ci/prow/e2e-vsphere-ovn-upi, ci/prow/unit, ci/prow/lint, ci/prow/verify, ci/prow/go-verify-deps, and ci/prow/verify-deps passed. tide is pending and is not counted as positive signal.
Overlap assessment: The PR changes test/e2e/upgrade/monitor.go, test/e2e/upgrade/monitor_test.go, and test/e2e/upgrade/upgrade.go. The observed failures were in unrelated sig-network/router/network-segmentation setup and API access, not upgrade acknowledgement behavior. There is no plausible direct overlap; the only indirect relationship is shared test-cluster/API infrastructure.
Missing-coverage risk: Low for this decision. The run completed most of the suite before the infrastructure disruption, and the changed upgrade code has passing unit and upgrade-related e2e signal. The interrupted bare-metal IPv6/OVN coverage should still be rerun when capacity permits.
Rationale: At 18:52 UTC, the log records simultaneous proxy connection timeouts for Kubernetes API, OAuth API, and OpenShift API backends. The failures then occurred during test setup/API operations across multiple sig-network tests, while the disruption monitor recorded DisruptionBegan events. This is a known CI infrastructure failure pattern, not a failure caused by the PR's upgrade-monitor changes.

If you disagree with this assessment, rerun the current job with /test e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6.
