Summary

getNodesUsage() (pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go) snapshots all nodes via ListNodes() into overallnodeMap, then for each candidate node calls GetNode(nodeID) and did:

cachenodeMap[node.ID] = overallnodeMap[node.ID]

with no check that the key exists. Two ways this goes wrong:

  1. Deterministic: ListNodes() silently skips any node whose Node field is nil (nodes.go:138), but GetNode() applies no such filter and still returns success (nodes.go:113-131). So a node accepted by GetNode() but filtered out of the ListNodes() snapshot gets cached as a nil *NodeUsage, with nothing recorded in failedNodes.
  2. Racy: the same nil-map outcome is reachable if a node registers in the window between the ListNodes() snapshot and the later per-node GetNode() call.

That cachenodeMap feeds calcScorecalcScoreWithOptions, which ranges over the map and calls viewStatus(*node) unconditionally per node — a nil entry panics the scoring goroutine. Nothing in this package recovers goroutine panics, so the panic takes down the whole scheduler process (a live filter-request denial-of-service, not just a bad score).

Fix

Check the snapshot lookup explicitly; if the node is missing from the snapshot, record it in failedNodes instead of caching nil.

Test plan

  • Added Test_getNodesUsage_NodeMissingFromSnapshotIsNotCachedAsNil, which reproduces the bug deterministically via the ListNodes()/GetNode() nil-Node divergence (no need to race goroutines) and asserts the node is neither cached nor silently dropped.
  • go test ./pkg/scheduler/... -short --race -count=1 passes, including existing Test_getNodesUsage* tests.
  • golangci-lint run ./pkg/scheduler/... passes (0 issues).
  • hack/verify-license.sh and hack/verify-import-aliases.sh pass.
  • Scoped to the scheduler extender's in-memory node cache; no device hardware involved, so unit testing applies per the hardware-validation gate in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler now preserves terminating pods, collapses init-container usage, reconstructs and validates MIG allocations, handles missing node snapshots, removes stale device state, keeps filtering simulations side-effect free, and rolls back device locks transactionally.

Changes

Scheduler state and allocation handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pod usage and filtering state
pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go, pkg/scheduler/scheduler_test.go
Pod updates now clean up terminated allocations, preserve terminating pods, and replace init-container usage with application-only usage after initialization. Filtering returns non-resource candidates unchanged and avoids state mutation during simulation.
MIG allocation and usage reconstruction
pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go, pkg/scheduler/scheduler_test.go
MIG allocation annotations now produce device metadata. Reconstruction validates stale or inconsistent reservations and marks missing node usage as unavailable.
Device registration and node health
pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go, pkg/scheduler/scheduler_test.go
Node deletion clears NVIDIA health state. Registration removes stale vendor entries when a healthy provider reports zero devices.
Deterministic transactional device locking
pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go, pkg/scheduler/scheduler_test.go
Locks are acquired in sorted order and rolled back in reverse order when acquisition fails. Tests cover retries, rollback failures, and release counts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ee25e

This PR prevents a missing node snapshot entry from being cached as nil and adds regression coverage. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit tracks each device claim,
And clears stale entries from the frame.
Init usage shrinks when pods advance,
MIG records receive a careful glance.
Locks roll back in reverse with care.
The scheduler keeps its state fair.

Comment thread pkg/scheduler/scheduler.go
… snapshot

getNodesUsage() takes an overallnodeMap snapshot via ListNodes(), then
for each candidate node calls GetNode(nodeID) and unconditionally does
cachenodeMap[node.ID] = overallnodeMap[node.ID]. ListNodes() silently
skips any node whose Node field is nil, but GetNode() applies no such
filter and returns success anyway. So a node accepted by GetNode() but
absent from the snapshot got cached as a nil *NodeUsage, with no entry
recorded in failedNodes.

calcScoreWithOptions later ranges over that map and calls
viewStatus(*node) unconditionally per node, so a nil entry panics the
scoring goroutine. Nothing recovers goroutine panics in this package,
so the panic takes down the whole scheduler process. The same nil-map
outcome is also reachable via a narrower race: a node registering
between the ListNodes() snapshot and the per-node GetNode() call.

Check the snapshot lookup explicitly and record the node as failed
instead of caching nil.

Adds Test_getNodesUsage_NodeMissingFromSnapshotIsNotCachedAsNil, which
reproduces the bug deterministically via the ListNodes()/GetNode() nil-Node
divergence.

Echo args.Nodes for pods without HAMi resources.

When the extender is configured with nodeCacheCapable: false, the scheduler sends args.Nodes and leaves args.NodeNames nil. This early return then produces a result with nil NodeNames and nil Nodes. The scheduler reads no feasible nodes from that response, so a pod that requests no HAMi resource can become unschedulable. Return the supplied Nodes in that case.

🐛 Proposed fix
 	if !hasHAMiResource {
 		klog.V(1).InfoS("Pod does not request any resources", "pod", args.Pod.Name)
+		if args.Nodes != nil {
+			return &extenderv1.ExtenderFilterResult{
+				Nodes:       args.Nodes,
+				FailedNodes: nil,
+				Error:       "",
+			}, nil
+		}
 		return &extenderv1.ExtenderFilterResult{
 			NodeNames:   args.NodeNames,
 			FailedNodes: nil,
 			Error:       "",
 		}, nil

Log the MIG annotation decode error.

The code discards the error from nvidia.DecodeMigAllocations. A corrupted hami.io/vgpu-mig-allocations annotation then silently produces an empty allocation map, and the later branches report "MIG Pod lacks a matching profile/placement reservation" with no cause.

🔍 Proposed fix
 		if slotRaw, ok := p.Annotations[nvidia.MigAllocationsAnnotation]; ok {
-			if allocations, err := nvidia.DecodeMigAllocations(slotRaw); err == nil {
+			allocations, err := nvidia.DecodeMigAllocations(slotRaw)

Assert on a NodeDeleted interface instead of the concrete NVIDIA type.

The comment states that devices implementing NodeDeleted prune their state and others are a no-op. The code only handles *nvidia.NvidiaGPUDevices. A second vendor that adds NodeDeleted will keep stale per-node state until someone edits this loop.

♻️ Proposed refactor

Remove the always-true args.Nodes == nil guard.

Line 1084 returns s.filterSimulation for every request that carries args.Nodes. Execution reaches line 1130 only when args.Nodes is nil, so the condition never gates anything. The guard suggests a simulation path exists here and hides the real control flow.
