TRT-2930: skip regional-PD e2e on GCP families without pd-standard

[mkowalski]

What

Skip the [sig-storage][Jira:"Storage"][Driver: pd.csi.storage.gke.io] regional PD should store data and sync across zones e2e test when the cluster's worker nodes use a GCP machine family that cannot attach a pd-standard Persistent Disk (n4, c4, c4a, c4d, c3, c3d).

Why

The test provisions a regional pd-standard Persistent Disk and attaches it to the worker that runs the test pod. Those families cannot attach pd-standard, so the attach fails deterministically:

[sig-storage][Driver: pd.csi.storage.gke.io] regional PD should store data and sync across zones
  → AttachVolume.Attach failed: googleapi: Error 400:
    Regional disks is not supported for n4-standard-8 machine type

The test already guarded the cross-zone reattach against such a control plane, but it did not guard the primary pod's worker, which is where the deterministic failure happens. This surfaced while migrating GCP CI jobs from N2 to N4 (openshift/release #84090, #84091): jobs that run openshift/conformance/parallel on N4 workers fail this one test every time.

What changed

• BeforeEach guard that Skips the whole test when any worker uses a family without pd-standard.
• Consolidated the machine-family check into a single anyNodeLacksPDStandard(...selectors) helper (shared by the worker and control-plane guards), backed by familyLacksPDStandard / nodeInstanceType; family list is {c3, c3d, c4, c4a, c4d, n4}.
• Added table-driven + fake-clientset unit tests for the new helpers.

On pd-standard-capable workers (e.g. N2) the test runs exactly as before — coverage is unchanged there.

⚠️ Backport required

This fix must be backported to the branches that carry this test:

• release-5.1
• release-5.0
• release-4.23

(The test does not exist in ≤4.22.) Until the backports land in the payloads, openshift/release #84090 / #84091 carry a temporary per-job TEST_SKIPS to unblock the N4 migration; those TEST_SKIPS lines should be removed once this fix + backports are in the respective payloads.

Test lineage / reviewers

Test was added in STOR-3063 (test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional.go) by @radeore. /cc @jsafrane @tsmetana @gnufied @bertinatto @dobsonj (storage-approvers).

What

Skip the [sig-storage][Jira:"Storage"][Driver: pd.csi.storage.gke.io] regional PD should store data and sync across zones e2e test when the cluster's worker nodes use a GCP Hyperdisk-only machine family (n4, and also c3/c3d/c4/c4a).

Why

The test provisions a regional pd-standard Persistent Disk and attaches it to the worker that runs the test pod. Hyperdisk-only families cannot attach Persistent Disk at all, so the attach fails deterministically:

[sig-storage][Driver: pd.csi.storage.gke.io] regional PD should store data and sync across zones
 → AttachVolume.Attach failed: googleapi: Error 400:
   Regional disks is not supported for n4-standard-8 machine type

The test already guarded the cross-zone reattach against a Hyperdisk-only control plane (controlPlaneIsHyperDiskFamily), but it did not guard the primary pod's worker, which is where the deterministic failure actually happens. This surfaced while migrating GCP CI jobs from N2 to N4 (openshift/release #84090, #84091): jobs that run openshift/conformance/parallel on N4 workers fail this one test every time.

What changed

• Add a BeforeEach guard that Skips the whole test when any worker uses a Hyperdisk-only family.
• Factor the family detection into shared isHyperDiskOnlyFamily / nodeInstanceType helpers, reused by the new worker guard and the existing control-plane guard (gcpHyperDiskOnlyFamilies = {c3, c3d, c4, c4a, n4}).

On Persistent-Disk-capable workers (e.g. N2) the test runs exactly as before — coverage is unchanged there.

Follow-ups

• Unblocks the N4 migration without the temporary per-job TEST_SKIPS currently added in openshift/release #84090 / #84091. Once this lands in the payloads, those TEST_SKIPS lines can be removed.
• Should be backported to release-5.1, release-5.0, release-4.23 (the branches that carry this test; it is absent in <=4.22).

Walkthrough

The regional Persistent Disk tests now detect GCP machine families that cannot attach pd-standard. They skip incompatible worker nodes and use shared detection for control-plane and master-labeled nodes. New tests cover labels, roles, family matching, mixed nodes, and lookup errors.

Changes

GCE regional Persistent Disk compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Machine-family detection and setup handling test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional.go	The test defines unsupported machine families, resolves stable and beta instance-type labels, matches machine families, and skips incompatible worker configurations.
Control-plane and cross-zone filtering test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional.go	Control-plane checks use shared detection for control-plane and master-labeled nodes while retaining the cross-zone verification skip.
Detection test coverage test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional_test.go	Tests cover family matching, label precedence, node roles, mixed node types, missing labels, empty clusters, and fail-open behavior for node-list errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2d6aa

The worker-family skip can treat a node-list failure as if the worker were Persistent-Disk capable, allowing the test to continue and fail later during volume attachment. Propagating the error and updating the setup test is needed before merge.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

No unstable test title was introduced. The existing Ginkgo Describe and It titles remain static string literals. The added Go subtest names use fixed table labels. Dynamic values such as otherZone occur in test-step text or assertions, not test titles.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS. The added tests are focused table-driven unit tests: each covers one helper behavior, with subtest names and got/want diagnostics. They use only fake client objects, so they create no cluster resources that require cleanup. The Ginkgo e2e test retains DeferCleanup for the StorageClass, PVC, and pods. The change adds no Eventually or Consistently calls and the existing pod wait uses the 15-minute timeout. The diff has no whitespace errors.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

No MicroShift compatibility failure was introduced. The existing Ginkgo g.Describe/g.It test remains in place; the diff adds no Ginkgo test declaration. The added tests use standard testing.T with fake Kubernetes clients. The new runtime code uses the core Kubernetes Nodes API and GCP machine-type labels. Existing config.openshift.io calls were present before this pull request and were not introduced by it.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds no new Ginkgo e2e test. The added file contains only ordinary Go unit tests for machine-family helpers. The existing regional-PD Ginkgo test already skips clusters with fewer than two zones, which covers a one-node SNO topology; the PR only adds a worker machine-family skip and refactors the control-plane check. No changed code introduces a new SNO multi-node assumption or failure condition.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional.go and its unit test file. It adds GCP node-label inspection and a test BeforeEach skip for unsupported worker machine families. It does not add or modify deployment manifests, operator code, controllers, replica settings, anti-affinity, topology spread constraints, PDBs, or workload scheduling rules covered by this check. The check is therefore inapplicable.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS: The pull request introduces no process-level stdout writes. The new machine-family variable is data-only, and the added node checks and g.Skip call run inside BeforeEach, which the contract excludes. The refactored helpers only perform API calls and return booleans or strings. The added _test.go functions are individual tests. Searches of both changed files found no fmt.Print*, log.Print*, print, os.Stdout, or klog usage.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS. The pull request adds Go unit tests using testing.T, not new Ginkgo e2e tests. The existing Ginkgo test changes only add Kubernetes node-label detection and a skip for unsupported GCP machine families. The diff contains no hardcoded IPv4 addresses, IPv4-only parsing, IPv4 CIDRs, URL construction, public hosts, image pulls, or external downloads. Node-list calls use the cluster Kubernetes API.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only GCE node-family detection, test guards, and unit tests. The changed files add no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom cryptography, or secret/token comparisons. The crypto-related search returned no relevant usage.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only two Go files. Added lines contain no privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation, or root security settings. The existing admissionapi.LevelPrivileged uses were present in the parent revision and were not changed.

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

Explanation

No sensitive-data logging was introduced. The only new runtime message is a static g.Skip reason that names the generic GCP family example n4 and pd-standard; the new detection helper emits no node labels, machine types, hostnames, credentials, or API errors. Added unit-test error text uses fixed test values only. Existing pod/API error logging was not added by this change.

What

Skip the [sig-storage][Jira:"Storage"][Driver: pd.csi.storage.gke.io] regional PD should store data and sync across zones e2e test when the cluster's worker nodes use a GCP machine family that cannot attach a pd-standard Persistent Disk (n4, c4, c4a, c4d, c3, c3d).

Why

The test provisions a regional pd-standard Persistent Disk and attaches it to the worker that runs the test pod. Those families cannot attach pd-standard, so the attach fails deterministically:

[sig-storage][Driver: pd.csi.storage.gke.io] regional PD should store data and sync across zones
 → AttachVolume.Attach failed: googleapi: Error 400:

The test already guarded the cross-zone reattach against such a control plane, but it did not guard the primary pod's worker, which is where the deterministic failure happens. This surfaced while migrating GCP CI jobs from N2 to N4 (openshift/release #84090, #84091): jobs that run openshift/conformance/parallel on N4 workers fail this one test every time.

⚠️ This PR must be backported — it only fixes the deterministic N4 failure on main, but the affected test (test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional.go) also ships in older payloads.

Required backports (branches that carry this test), tracked under TRT-2930:

• release-5.1
• release-5.0
• release-4.23

The test does not exist in ≤ 4.22, so no backport is needed there.

After this merges, issue the cherry-picks (one per branch), e.g. /cherry-pick release-5.1, then /cherry-pick release-5.0, then /cherry-pick release-4.23.

Until the backports are in the respective payloads, openshift/release #84090 and #84091 carry a temporary per-job TEST_SKIPS to unblock the N2→N4 migration; those TEST_SKIPS lines should be dropped once this fix + backports land.

[mkowalski]

➡️ On-merge follow-up (test-skip cleanup): the tactical TEST_SKIPS workaround lives in two openshift/release PRs — openshift/release#84090 (e2e-gcp-ovn-rt-rhcos10-techpreview) and openshift/release#84091 (realtime e2e-gcp-ovn-rt), for nightly 4.23/5.0/5.1.

When this PR and its backports (release-5.1/5.0/4.23) are in the payloads, those TEST_SKIPS entries are redundant and must be removed (follow-up PR in openshift/release), so the test isn't silently skipped forever. Tracked in TRT-2930.

/override ci/prow/e2e-aws-ovn-microshift

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

Rationale: The job failed before the MicroShift conformance tests, in openshift-microshift-infra-rpm-install-aws, while installing the locally built MicroShift RPM. The resolver cannot satisfy cri-o >= 1.36.0 and < 1.37.0 because the available repositories expose incompatible cri-o versions; the PR only changes GCP regional pd-standard storage test skip logic.

Evidence:

• The failure is an AWS MicroShift RPM installation/dependency-resolution failure, not a GCP storage test failure.
• The PR changes only test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional.go and test/extended/storage/gce_pd_regional_test.go.
• The same dependency-resolution failure occurred identically in the paired MicroShift serial job, while lint, unit, verify, image, and dependency checks passed.
• This failure mode has been observed across multiple main-branch PRs, indicating an environment/repository issue rather than a change-specific regression.
