Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #2475

Summary

ReleaseNodeLock in the cambricon backend cleared cambricon.com/dsmlu.lock with Nodes().Update(). The hami-scheduler ServiceAccount is granted get, list, patch, watch on nodes and not update, so the call is rejected, the retry loop burns its five attempts and the annotation stays on the node.

Impact:

  • The lock is never released, so it survives past the 2 minute expiry.
  • LockNode releases before re-locking once expired. It hits the same rejection and returns before reaching setNodeLock, so the node stops accepting MLU pods.
  • Recovery needs an operator to delete the annotation by hand.

Fix

Release with a strategic merge patch setting the annotation to null. setNodeLock a few lines above already patches, and pkg/util/nodelock does the same, so this brings the pair in line with the rest of the tree. A merge patch also carries no resourceVersion, so the retry loop retries instead of replaying one stale object.

Test Plan

  • Test_ReleaseNodeLockUsesPatch drives the real path with a fake client that rejects update on nodes the way RBAC does, then asserts the annotation is gone from the apiserver and the node can be locked again. Fails on master, passes here.
  • The existing Test_ReleaseNodeLock only covers the two early returns and never reaches the client, which is why this went unnoticed.
  • go test ./pkg/device/... -short --race -count=1 passes
  • go test ./pkg/scheduler/... -short --race -count=1 passes
  • go vet, gofmt, goimports -local clean
  • Not run on MLU hardware, I do not have any. The failing path is scheduler side.

Notes for the reviewer

Overlaps #2329, which rewrites this function for the three causes in #2251. Different root cause, so I kept the diff to the two call sites. Happy to rebase once that lands.

I left the delete on the caller's node alone even though it is the informer race from #2251, since #2329 already covers it and I did not want two PRs editing the same line.

AI Assistance Disclosure

This PR was written primarily by Claude Code (bug identification, fix, and tests), reviewed and submitted by me.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Fix Cambricon MLU node locks never being released, which left nodes unable to schedule MLU pods until the lock annotation was removed manually.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added coverage verifying that device node locks can be released through a patch operation when standard node updates are unavailable.
    • Confirmed lock annotations are removed correctly and that the node can be locked again afterward.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Cambricon device tests now reject node updates and verify that ReleaseNodeLock removes the persisted lock annotation through a patch before allowing the node to lock again.

Changes

Cambricon node-lock release validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Patch-based release regression test
pkg/device/cambricon/device_test.go
The test denies node updates, creates a node lock, verifies release removes the persisted annotation, and confirms that the node can be locked again.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to d2157

The change correctly targets node-lock release with a patch, but the regression test does not directly verify that the patch call occurs. The PR is otherwise localized and mergeable with owner awareness or a small follow-up to strengthen that assertion.

Poem

A rabbit checks the node-lock trail,
Update is denied, but patches prevail.
The lock disappears from its annotation,
Then returns for the next allocation.
Hop, test, pass—clean and bright!

/lgtm

Comment thread pkg/device/cambricon/device.go Outdated
The scheduler ServiceAccount holds get/list/patch/watch on nodes and not
update, so a release that reaches for Update is rejected and the lock is
never cleared. The fake clientset does not enforce RBAC, so no existing
test would notice an implementation that used Update.

Inject the deny with a reactor and assert the lock is gone from the
apiserver and the node can be locked again.

Rebased on master. #2329 landed the same fix in the meantime, so the code change is gone and only the regression test remains. It denies the update verb with a reactor, which no existing test does, so it would catch an implementation that reached for Update while keeping the retry structure. Comments removed as requested. Happy to close this if the test isn't worth carrying.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the release patch call.

Lines 1433-1438 reject only update. The test can still pass without proving that ReleaseNodeLock issued a node patch. Count node patch actions, capture the count after LockNode, and assert that ReleaseNodeLock adds one patch before the relock assertion.

Cambricon ReleaseNodeLock calls Nodes().Update(), which the scheduler ServiceAccount is not permitted to do
