What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR continues the work from #8365 (authored by @qinqon). The commits here are a takeover of that change set so we can rebase, fix CI, and drive the fix to merge while Quique is unavailable. The approach and code are intentionally the same as in #8365.

The MCO templates unconditionally render nmstate configuration files that disable IPv6 autoconf and set up the fe80::1 ARP proxy gateway route. This is correct for the default pod network, where OVN-Kubernetes assigns IPv6 via DHCPv6 stateful. However, when a KubeVirt NodePool uses multus as the primary network (AttachDefaultNetwork=false), these configurations break SLAAC and prevent nodes from getting IPv6 addresses in dual-stack setups.

This PR makes the HyperShift nodepool controller generate an override MachineConfig that replaces the MCO-rendered nmstate files with no-op content, restoring standard IPv6 auto-configuration (SLAAC). The override is scoped to exactly the broken population — NodePools using multus as primary network on clusters whose networking includes IPv6:

  • Default-network NodePools: nothing is generated. The MCO templates remain the source of truth, the NodePool config hash is unchanged, and upgrading the HyperShift operator does not trigger a fleet-wide rollout.
  • IPv4-only multus NodePools: nothing is generated either. The stale nmstate files are asymptomatic there, and since cluster networking CIDRs are immutable those clusters can never become affected.
  • Multus NodePools on IPv6-enabled clusters: the override MachineConfig is generated; the resulting NodePool rollout is the bug fix itself.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-77307

Special notes for your reviewer:

No MCO changes are required: instead of moving ownership of the nmstate configuration into HyperShift (which would have changed the NodePool config hash for every KubeVirt NodePool and caused a fleet-wide rollout on operator upgrade), HyperShift only neutralizes the MCO-rendered files where they are wrong.

Unit tests in config_test.go (TestGetPlatformConfigs) assert that no platform config is generated for default-network and IPv4-only multus NodePools, guaranteeing the config hash — and therefore the fleet — is untouched by an operator upgrade.

The e2e KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest assertion is IP-family aware: on IPv4-only CI lanes it verifies the override is correctly not generated (MCO config still applied); on IPv6-enabled clusters it verifies the override neutralizes the MCO config.

Test coverage note: the KubeVirt CI lane (e2e-kubevirt-aws-ovn-reduced) is IPv4-only, so CI exercises the gating logic and the no-rollout guarantees (unit + e2e), but not the positive path end-to-end (override applied on nodes, SLAAC working). The positive path is covered by unit tests on the generated MachineConfig content and will be verified on a dual-stack environment as part of the OCPBUGS-77307 QE verification.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The NodePool configuration path now adds platform-specific KubeVirt configuration before parsing MachineConfig data. For IPv6-enabled clusters with Multus as the primary network, it generates a MachineConfig that overrides two nmstate files. Other platforms and unsupported configurations produce no additional configuration. Unit tests cover generation and IPv6 detection. End-to-end tests verify nmstate settings with checker DaemonSets on KubeVirt nodes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a3985

The PR conditionally adds KubeVirt nmstate overrides; a unit-test helper can currently skip a required override file and let malformed configuration go undetected. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to make the test fail when a source is missing.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, When, or similar title calls. The new table-driven subtests use standard Go t.Run with static string literals in config_test.go and kubevirt/network_test.go; the titles contain only stable scenario descriptions such as IPv4-only, dual-stack, and KubeVirt. The e2e changes add no test titles. Runtime node and namespace values are used for DaemonSet setup, not test names.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The added e2e verification creates a guest-cluster DaemonSet but does not clean it up. Both KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest.Run and KubeVirtMultinetTest.Run call hostedClusterClient.Create(...) for nmstate-checker-<nodepool> and then return without deleting it; their TeardownInfra methods do not delete this DaemonSet. The repository has an explicit cleanup pattern for verification DaemonSets in VerifyKubeletConfigWithDaemonSet. The new Create assertions also have no diagnostic messages, and several new controller-test assertions use bare HaveOccurred, HaveLen, HaveKey, and BeEmpty checks without messages. The rollout wait itself is bounded by the existing helper (25 minutes for KubeVirt), and the table subtests test related single behaviors.

Resolution

Register cleanup immediately after each successful DaemonSet creation, preferably with t.Cleanup or the test's teardown hook. Delete the exact namespaced DaemonSet and ignore NotFound while reporting other deletion errors. Add meaningful assertion messages to the new resource-creation assertions and controller-test assertions, including the test-case name and the expected operation or generated content. Keep the existing bounded eventuallyDaemonSetRollsOut wait.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

No topology-sensitive scheduling constraint is introduced. The production changes generate MachineConfig/ConfigMap content and update SSH-key reconciliation; they add no Deployment, anti-affinity, topology spread, PDB, replica policy, or node-role scheduling rule. The new e2e DaemonSet has a wildcard toleration, but CorrelateDaemonSet immediately adds a NodePool-specific nodeSelector, so it does not target control-plane or arbiter nodes. The DaemonSet runs only in the hosted guest cluster, which uses external control planes.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

The changed e2e tests create a nmstate-checker DaemonSet in both KubeVirt multinet test paths. The DaemonSet uses the public image registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:latest and has no mirror, internal-registry reference, or pull-policy override. The test waits for all DaemonSet pods to become ready, so disconnected IPv6 jobs can fail while pulling this image. The new HostedCluster IP-family detection is dynamic and does not introduce an IPv4-only parsing assumption. The pre-existing 192.168.66.0/24 dnsmasq setup is unchanged and is not used as the causal failure.

Resolution

IPv6 and disconnected network compatibility notice: This test requires a public registry image and may fail in disconnected environments. Use an image from the cluster's internal registry or a CI-configured mirror for the new DaemonSet. If the test cannot work without public connectivity, add [Skipped:Disconnected] to the test name. Run an additional parallel IPv6 CI job: /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.22-e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The diff against main introduces no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, or ECB usage, and it adds no cryptographic implementation or secret/token comparison. The new KubeVirt code uses fmt, net, JSON serialization, Ignition, and data URLs. The existing supportutil.HashSimple call remains unchanged and uses pre-existing FNV-1a hashing; the pull request does not add or alter it.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request adds a Kubernetes DaemonSet in test/e2e/nodepool_kv_advanced_multinet_test.go with HostPID: true and a container SecurityContext containing Privileged: ptr.To(true). The test creates this DaemonSet through hostedClusterClient.Create, so the flagged settings are active manifest fields introduced by this pull request. The same checker is also used by the modified multinet test.

Resolution

Remove HostPID: true and Privileged: ptr.To(true) from the new DaemonSet. Replace the host-inspection approach with a non-privileged verification mechanism, or use an approved existing test mechanism that does not require privileged containers or host PID access.

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

Explanation

No sensitive-data logging was introduced. The production changes add only wrapped serialization errors with static context. The new e2e t.Log messages are static. Unit-test diagnostics may print the generated MachineConfig, which contains only fixed nmstate paths and no-op content. No new log statement includes passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data.

Taking over #8365 so we can continue OCPBUGS-77307 while Quique is unavailable.

This PR carries the same change set (override MCO nmstate only for Multus-primary + IPv6), rebased onto current main. Alberto’s earlier fleet-rollout concern was already addressed in that design — happy to walk through it again here if useful.

Could you continue the review on this PR?

Thanks - I looked at sharing it, but importing the kubevirt nodepool package from e2e just for this small helper feels like overkill. I prefer keeping the local duplicate for now.

… IPv6

The MCO templates unconditionally render nmstate files that disable
IPv6 autoconf and route IPv6 through KubeVirt's ARP proxy gateway
(fe80::1). That configuration is only correct for the default pod
network, where OVN-Kubernetes assigns IPv6 via DHCPv6 stateful. When
a NodePool uses multus as its primary network
(AttachDefaultNetwork=false), it breaks SLAAC and nodes never get
IPv6 addresses on dual-stack clusters.

Generate an override MachineConfig that replaces the MCO-rendered
nmstate files with no-op content, restoring standard IPv6
auto-configuration. The override is scoped to NodePools using multus
as primary network on clusters whose networking includes IPv6:

- Default-network NodePools get nothing: the MCO templates remain the
  source of truth, the NodePool config hash is unchanged and upgrading
  the HyperShift operator does not trigger a fleet-wide rollout.
- IPv4-only multus NodePools get nothing either: the stale files are
  asymptomatic there, and since cluster networking CIDRs are immutable
  those clusters can never become affected.
- Multus NodePools on IPv6-enabled clusters get the override; the
  resulting NodePool rollout is the bug fix itself.

…tack

On KubeVirt, CNO requires worker nodes to probe the network MTU
before deploying its operands (ovnkube-control-plane,
network-node-identity, multus-admission-controller). Without at
least one worker node, these deployments are never created, causing
the CNO RolloutComplete condition to stay False and
controlPlaneVersion to remain Partial indefinitely.

This is the same issue OpenStack already works around by setting
NodePoolReplicas=1. Apply the same workaround for KubeVirt.

…net tests

Extend KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest and KubeVirtMultinetTest to verify
the nmstate network configuration nodes end up with, depending on the
AttachDefaultNetwork setting and the cluster IP family.

When the default network is attached (KubeVirtMultinetTest), a
privileged DaemonSet checks via nmstatectl that autoconf: false IS
present, confirming the MCO-rendered nmstate configuration is applied.

When AttachDefaultNetwork=false (KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest) the
assertion depends on the HostedCluster networking: on clusters with
IPv6 the override MachineConfig must neutralize the MCO-rendered
config, so autoconf: false must NOT be present; on IPv4-only clusters
no override is generated on purpose (to avoid NodePool rollouts on
operator upgrades), so the MCO-rendered config must still be applied.

The negative (multus+IPv6) probe captures nmstatectl output before
grepping so a transient command failure fails the probe (the pod stays
NotReady and the test keeps waiting) instead of being misread as
"config absent".

Both tests reuse existing e2e infrastructure: CorrelateDaemonSet for
node targeting and eventuallyDaemonSetRollsOut for readiness waiting.

Overall the approach is sound — overriding the MCO-rendered nmstate files for multus-primary NodePools is well-scoped and follows the established MachineConfig generation pattern (haproxy, FIPS, SSH). The config hash isolation is correct: default-network and IPv4-only NodePools see no hash change, no fleet-wide rollout.

A few inline suggestions, mostly around code duplication and one question about the KubeVirt NodePoolReplicas=1 scope.

nit: kvinfra is already used in nodepool_controller.go as an alias for kubevirtexternalinfra — a completely different package. Having the same alias for two different packages in the same Go package is confusing when reading across files. Would something like kvnetwork or just kubevirt work here?

nit: the api alias isn't needed here — there's no conflicting import. The rest of the nodepool package imports it without alias.

These paths are coupled to what MCO renders for KubeVirt nodes. If a future MCO version adds or renames nmstate files, this override will silently stop covering them. Would a short comment near these constants noting the MCO dependency help future maintainers?

This is the third copy of the same IPv6 detection logic (also in kubevirt/network.go and resources.go). Since the network.go version takes ClusterNetworking, this could be a one-liner:

func hasIPv6HostedClusterNetwork(hc *hyperv1.HostedCluster) bool {
    return kvinfra.HasIPv6Network(hc.Spec.Networking)
}

(after exporting it). Would reduce the maintenance surface.

// If we don't do that, the HostedCluster conditions won't be met and the test will
// fail as some operators will be marked as degraded.

This changes test behavior for ALL KubeVirt test groups, not just multinet. The CNO MTU probing explanation makes sense, but — how were KubeVirt tests passing before this PR? If this was always needed, it feels like a separate fix. If it's only needed for the nmstate checker DaemonSet (which needs a node to schedule onto), then the default nodepool replicas were already getting created by the individual test cases. Could you clarify what breaks without this?

network_test.go in this same PR uses ptr.To(false) — could you use that here too for consistency? boolPtr is a fourth copy of this helper in the repo.

expectError is defined and handled in the test loop but no case sets it to true. Either add an error-path case or remove the dead field?

@RamLavi we should not forget to remove the nmstate hack at MCO after we merge this, although not sure at what moment since MCO release is different than hypershift release.

https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/tree/main/templates/common/kubevirt/files

Also maybe we can now simplify it a little since nmstate is fixed with the bug:
