Summary

selectPreferredDeviceIDsFromAnnotatedDevices builds its GetPreferredAllocation
response by placing all of kubelet's required (MustIncludeDeviceIDs) devices
first, then filling the rest from the scheduler's per-device memory/core plan
(devreq/desired) in order. Whenever required wasn't already desired's
first entry, the returned device order diverged from devreq's order.

Allocate() later zips its (possibly kubelet-reordered) DevicesIds against
devreq positionally in alignContainerDevicesWithAllocatedIDs, updating
only the UUID at each index and leaving that index's Usedmem/Usedcores
untouched. With the order divergence above, position i's UUID could end up
pointing at a different physical GPU than the one devreq[i] was computed
for — so CUDA_DEVICE_MEMORY_LIMIT_<i> would carry the memory ceiling
intended for one GPU while actually applying to another, letting a container
exceed what the scheduler reserved on that GPU.

Triggers with EnableGetPreferredAllocation: true, non-MIG mode, a single
container requesting multiple GPUs with heterogeneous per-device memory
(e.g. via nvidia.com/gpumem-percentage across differently-sized GPUs), and
a kubelet-supplied MustIncludeDeviceIDs that isn't a prefix of the
scheduler's order (realistic on kubelet-driven container restarts).

Fix

Rebuild the result in desired's order instead of required-first: at each
position, pull from a per-physical-GPU queue of required IDs if one is
pending for that GPU, otherwise from the available pool. This keeps every
position's UUID and its memory/core limit describing the same physical
device, while still satisfying kubelet's MustIncludeDeviceIDs constraint.

Tests

  • Tightened the two existing tests that only checked set equality
    (ElementsMatch) to assert exact order.
  • Added two unit tests: required device at a non-leading desired position,
    and multiple required slices from the same physical GPU.
  • Added an end-to-end test that drives GetPreferredAllocation followed by
    Allocate, the way kubelet actually calls the plugin, asserting each
    container's CUDA_DEVICE_MEMORY_LIMIT_<i> matches the GPU visible at that
    position.

Test plan

  • go build ./...
  • go test ./pkg/device-plugin/nvidiadevice/nvinternal/plugin/... -race -short -count=1 -v — all pass
  • make test (full suite, race detector) — all packages pass
  • make lint (golangci-lint) — 0 issues

AI Assistance Disclosure

This PR was written primarily using AI coding assistance, following the
project's CONTRIBUTING.md disclosure requirement. The bug was found via an
independent audit of the NVIDIA device-plugin allocation path, reproduced
against this repo's own existing test fixtures before being fixed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Preferred device allocation now preserves the scheduler’s requested device order.
    • Required devices are matched to the correct physical GPU, including multiple slices from one GPU.
    • Memory limits remain associated with the correct GPU after preferred allocation reordering.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for required devices appearing in different positions and for multiple slices on the same GPU.

Rebuild the result in desired's order instead, pulling from a
per-physical-GPU queue of required IDs at each position rather than
front-loading them. This keeps every position's UUID and its
memory/core limit describing the same physical device, while still
satisfying kubelet's MustIncludeDeviceIDs constraint.

Tighten the two existing tests that only checked set equality
(ElementsMatch) to assert exact order, add two more unit tests
covering required devices at a non-leading desired position and
multiple required slices from the same physical GPU, and add an
end-to-end test that drives GetPreferredAllocation followed by
Allocate the way kubelet actually calls the plugin, asserting each
container's CUDA_DEVICE_MEMORY_LIMIT_<i> matches the GPU visible at
that position.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Preferred device selection now preserves the scheduler’s annotated order when required IDs map to physical devices. Tests cover required devices at later positions, multiple MIG slices, and correct memory limits during allocation.

Changes

Preferred allocation ordering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Order-aware preferred device selection
pkg/device-plugin/nvidiadevice/nvinternal/plugin/server.go
selectPreferredDeviceIDsFromAnnotatedDevices consumes required IDs while processing desired devices, preserving annotated positions.
Ordering and allocation validation
pkg/device-plugin/nvidiadevice/nvinternal/plugin/server_test.go
Tests verify required-device positions, multiple MIG slices from one physical GPU, exact preferred-allocation order, and matching memory limits during Allocate.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6246d

The allocation-order fix can still omit a kubelet-required GPU in an incompatible constraint case, potentially producing an invalid device allocation; merge should wait for explicit error handling and coverage for that case. The related test should also verify per-device core limits.

A rabbit checks the GPU trail,
Required slices stay in scale.

Assert the selected core limit.

The test uses distinct Usedcores values. A reordered response would also change CUDA_DEVICE_SM_LIMIT, because Allocate reads it from devreq[0]. Assert that the response contains "10" for CUDA_DEVICE_SM_LIMIT.

e2e_test / e2e-test (nvidia, tesla-p4) is failing at the deploy hami helm step on two separate runs against two different commits (~6.5h apart), both times identically:

Error: failed pre-install: 1 error occurred:
	* timed out waiting for the condition

In both runs the hami-admission-create Job (Helm pre-install hook, generates the admission-webhook TLS cert) gets created and immediately shows Jobs active: 1, jobs failed: 0, jobs succeeded: 0, then never transitions to succeeded/failed for the full 10m --wait timeout. Docker image load, helm repo add/update, and the GPU-node check all complete fine before this point.

This PR's diff only touches pkg/device-plugin/nvidiadevice/nvinternal/plugin/{server.go,server_test.go} — no Helm chart, webhook, or cert-gen changes — and Compile/Unit test/lint all pass independently on the same commit. Given the identical failure on retry, this looks like a stuck/hung state on the hami-e2e runner's cluster (possibly the hami-admission-create job's pod stuck Pending/ImagePull, or leftover state from a prior run) rather than a flake or something fixable from this PR. Flagging for a maintainer to take a look at the runner — happy to help debug further if there's a way to inspect kubectl get pods -n hami-system / describe job hami-admission-create on it.
