What this PR does / why we need it:

Fixes a deterministic race in the shared v2 control plane upgrade test that caused the Azure self-managed job in #8584 to report a failed upgrade after the upgrade had successfully completed.

Evidence from the failed CI run

Evidence:

The artifacts show:

  • The data-plane CVO rollout completed the target image at 21:42:48.
  • The control-plane rollout completed the target image later, at 21:43:43.
  • The test waits for the control plane before calling WaitForDataPlaneRollout.
  • At that point, the helper captured the target data-plane completion time as its baseline.
  • The helper then rejected that same completed history entry as "not updated yet" and waited 30 minutes for another completion that would never occur.

The HostedCluster dump confirmed that both status.version and status.controlPlaneVersion contained completed history entries for the target release. All 39 ControlPlaneComponent resources also reported the exact target version with RolloutComplete=True. The failure was therefore in the test's rollout detection, not the cluster upgrade.

The same race independently reproduced in two release-5.1 periodics on August 24:

  • Run 2091699786414559232: data plane completed at 02:26:25; control plane completed at 02:27:16; the data-plane wait began at 02:27:26 and timed out.
  • Run 2091790373851500544: data plane completed at 08:30:06; control plane completed at 08:31:29; the data-plane wait began at 08:31:30 and timed out.

Both management clusters became available and proceeded to run the full test suites. Their HyperShift operator Services had two ready endpoints, and the operator logs contained no CAPI conversion-webhook or missing-endpoint errors. These runs contain the CAPI v1beta2 storage migration, but their upgrade failures are the rollout-wait race described here rather than a management-cluster bootstrap failure.

How the regression was introduced

The upgrade test is not new, and #8584 did not introduce this failure:

  • a14fb2ff6c added the completion-time guard so an upgrade test could not incorrectly pass using the old completed history entry.
  • d337f6d8ae added the v2 upgrade test and correctly captured that completion time before updating the HostedCluster.
  • 88650c5a88 moved the logic into the shared helper. The baseline then became the HostedCluster status at helper invocation time, after the control-plane wait, creating the race.

PR #8584 exposes the existing shared-test regression in its aggregate Azure self-managed CI job; its new OAuth LoadBalancer test does not cause the upgrade failure.

Fix

Resolve the target release version from E2E_LATEST_RELEASE_IMAGE before mutating spec.release.image, using the HostedCluster pull secret for registry access.

The test then makes three non-blocking observations in one shared polling context:

  • Every ControlPlaneComponent reports the explicit target version and RolloutComplete=True.
  • status.controlPlaneVersion reports the explicit target version in Completed state.
  • status.version reports the explicit target version in Completed state.

This removes both the sequential wait ordering and the dependency on any pre-upgrade status snapshot. The test only succeeds after all independently reconciled status surfaces converge on the known target version.

Special notes for your reviewer:

This is intentionally separate from #8584 because the race is in the shared v2 upgrade test rather than the Azure OAuth LoadBalancer test introduced there.

@bryan-cox: This pull request references CNTRLPLANE-3277 which is a valid jira issue.

Warning: The referenced jira issue has an invalid target version for the target branch this PR targets: expected the task to target the "5.1.0" version, but no target version was set.

What this PR does / why we need it:

Fixes a race in the shared v2 control plane upgrade test exposed by the Azure self-managed job in #8584.

The data-plane rollout can complete before the control-plane rollout wait returns. Previously, WaitForDataPlaneRollout captured the already-completed data-plane status as its baseline and waited for another completion that would never occur.

This change captures the data-plane version status before mutating the HostedCluster and passes that explicit baseline to the rollout wait. It preserves the existing protection against accepting the old completed rollout while allowing the test to recognize a target rollout that completed before the wait began.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The control-plane upgrade test resolves the target release version from the HostedCluster pull secret. It requires version status and history data. A polling loop validates data-plane and control-plane versions, CompletedUpdate state, component counts, component versions, and RolloutComplete=True conditions.

If the problem really is a race between WaitForControlPlaneComponentRollout and WaitForControlPlaneRollout, then wouldn't it be possible to fix this by removing the dependency and making the checks non-blocking within a shared polling context?

instead of:

t.Run("Wait for control plane components to complete rollout", func(t *testing.T) {
	e2eutil.AtLeast(t, e2eutil.Version420)
	e2eutil.WaitForControlPlaneComponentRollout(t, ctx, mgtClient, hostedCluster, startingVersion)
})

t.Run("Wait for control plane version to complete rollout", func(t *testing.T) {
	e2eutil.AtLeast(t, e2eutil.Version422)
	e2eutil.WaitForControlPlaneRollout(t, ctx, mgtClient, hostedCluster)
})

make both checks non-blocking predicates, like:

err := wait.PollUntilContextTimeout(ctx, interval, timeout, immediate, func(ctx context.Context) (bool, error) {
	controlPlaneComponentRolloutComplete := e2eutil.IsControlPlaneComponentRolloutComplete(t, ctx, mgtClient, hostedCluster, startingVersion)
	controlPlaneRolloutComplete := e2eutil.IsControlPlaneRolloutComplete(t, ctx, mgtClient, hostedCluster)

	done := controlPlaneComponentRolloutComplete && controlPlaneRolloutComplete
	
	return done, nil
})

There should be no possibility of a race here because of eventual consistency and no dependent ordering of the checks

The race is not between the two control-plane waits. It is between data-plane rollout completion and when the old WaitForDataPlaneRollout captures its baseline: because that helper is called after both control-plane waits, it can treat the already-completed target entry in status.version.history[0] as the previous rollout and then wait for another completion that will never occur.

Polling the two control-plane conditions together could shorten that window, but it cannot eliminate it—the data plane can still complete before both control-plane conditions. A shared poll of all three conditions would still need to compare the data-plane history with a snapshot taken before changing spec.release.image. This change records that invariant before the update and leaves the independently useful control-plane checks unchanged.

I'm not sure I understand. Even with the data plane, before the upgrade even starts we know the expected object states we're expecting to eventually observe, because we know the target version. We don't actually need any knowledge of the prior version state at all, this is an eventually consistent system. If we know we're upgrading to version 4.22, then we can wait until the control plane, components, and data plane all report the actual version we expect, which are non-blocking observations we periodically make until they are true. So all that changes about my comment is the addition of a IsDataPlaneRolloutComplete (and all of them should take an explicit version they're expecting to find).

I don't understand why the order of any of these things or the prior states matter, making them important seems antithetical to the eventually consistent principles of k8s?

Agreed. I reworked this so the test resolves the target release version before mutating the HostedCluster, then evaluates three non-blocking observations in one shared poll: every ControlPlaneComponent is RolloutComplete at the target version, controlPlaneVersion is Completed at the target version, and the data-plane version is Completed at the target version. There is no dependency on prior status or observation order. I also confirmed all 39 ControlPlaneComponents in the failed-run dump reported the exact target release version.

If this is only going to be used by new v2 code, should we start moving things to v2-only packages? If it's supposed to be shared, should the existing v1 upgrade test functions be refactored internally to use these decomposed functions?

Done. test/e2e/v2/util is the source of truth for rollout checks. The v2 upgrade test uses its explicit target-version predicates, while the existing v1 utility wrappers delegate to the same v2 implementation without changing any v1 test APIs or behavior.

What this PR does / why we need it:

Fixes a deterministic race in the shared v2 control plane upgrade test that caused the Azure self-managed job in #8584 to report a failed upgrade after the upgrade had successfully completed.

Evidence from the failed CI run

Evidence:

The artifacts show:

  • The data-plane CVO rollout completed the target image at 21:42:48.
  • The control-plane rollout completed the target image later, at 21:43:43.
  • The test waits for the control plane before calling WaitForDataPlaneRollout.
  • At that point, the helper captured the target data-plane completion time as its baseline.
  • The helper then rejected that same completed history entry as "not updated yet" and waited 30 minutes for another completion that would never occur.

The HostedCluster dump confirmed that both status.version and status.controlPlaneVersion contained completed history entries for the target release. All 39 ControlPlaneComponent resources also reported the exact target version with RolloutComplete=True. The failure was therefore in the test's rollout detection, not the cluster upgrade.

The same race independently reproduced in two release-5.1 periodics on August 24:

  • Run 2091699786414559232: data plane completed at 02:26:25; control plane completed at 02:27:16; the data-plane wait began at 02:27:26 and timed out.
  • Run 2091790373851500544: data plane completed at 08:30:06; control plane completed at 08:31:29; the data-plane wait began at 08:31:30 and timed out.

Both management clusters became available and proceeded to run the full test suites. Their HyperShift operator Services had two ready endpoints, and the operator logs contained no CAPI conversion-webhook or missing-endpoint errors. These runs contain the CAPI v1beta2 storage migration, but their upgrade failures are the rollout-wait race described here rather than a management-cluster bootstrap failure.

How the regression was introduced

The upgrade test is not new, and #8584 did not introduce this failure:

  • a14fb2ff6c added the completion-time guard so an upgrade test could not incorrectly pass using the old completed history entry.
  • d337f6d8ae added the v2 upgrade test and correctly captured that completion time before updating the HostedCluster.
  • 88650c5a88 moved the logic into the shared helper. The baseline then became the HostedCluster status at helper invocation time, after the control-plane wait, creating the race.

PR #8584 exposes the existing shared-test regression in its aggregate Azure self-managed CI job; its new OAuth LoadBalancer test does not cause the upgrade failure.

Fix

Resolve the target release version from E2E_LATEST_RELEASE_IMAGE before mutating spec.release.image, using the HostedCluster pull secret for registry access.

The test then makes three non-blocking observations in one shared polling context:

  • Every ControlPlaneComponent reports the explicit target version and RolloutComplete=True.
  • status.controlPlaneVersion reports the explicit target version in Completed state.
  • status.version reports the explicit target version in Completed state.

This removes both the sequential wait ordering and the dependency on any pre-upgrade status snapshot. The test only succeeds after all independently reconciled status surfaces converge on the known target version.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Related to https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-111601

Special notes for your reviewer:

This is intentionally separate from #8584 because the race is in the shared v2 upgrade test rather than the Azure OAuth LoadBalancer test introduced there.
