What type of PR is this?

/kind bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

An unrecognized hami.io/gpu-scheduler-policy or hami.io/node-scheduler-policy value was silently accepted: the annotation overrode the configured policy whatever its value, and the comparator's hardcoded fallback then replaced the operator's configured default.

Two layers of fix, following the same pattern as the numa-alignment validation in #2729:

  • The admission webhook denies invalid values, so a typo surfaces at kubectl apply with a clear message listing the accepted values.
  • GetGPUSchedulerPolicyByPod and resolveNodeSchedulerPolicy keep the configured default with a warning when the value is unrecognized, covering pods created before upgrade or bypassing the webhook.

Accepted GPU policy values: binpack, spread, numa, mutex, topology-aware, or a comma-separated chain of them. Node policy: binpack or spread.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #2767

Special notes for your reviewer:

Scheduler-extender scoped; covered by unit tests (validators, resolver fallbacks, webhook admission table). The sort comparator is left untouched: with validation at the sources, unrecognized values no longer reach it.

AI assistance disclosure: written primarily by Claude Code, directed and reviewed by me.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Pods with an unrecognized hami.io/gpu-scheduler-policy or hami.io/node-scheduler-policy annotation are now rejected at admission; previously the invalid value silently replaced the configured scheduler policy.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation for GPU and node scheduling policies.
    • Invalid policy annotations are rejected with clear errors during admission.
    • Invalid annotations now fall back to configured default policies instead of being applied.
    • Valid policy annotations continue to be accepted, including multiple comma-separated GPU policies.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for valid, invalid, whitespace-trimmed, and unsupported policy values.

An unrecognized hami.io/gpu-scheduler-policy or
hami.io/node-scheduler-policy value was silently accepted, and the
comparator's hardcoded fallback replaced the operator's configured
default. The webhook now denies invalid values at admission, and the
policy resolvers keep the configured default with a warning for pods
that bypass the webhook.

Fixes Project-HAMi#2767

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scheduler now validates GPU and node policy annotations. Admission denies invalid values. Policy resolution retains configured defaults when invalid annotations reach resolution.

Changes

Scheduler policy validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy validation utilities
pkg/util/scheduler_policy.go, pkg/util/scheduler_policy_test.go
Adds validation for supported node policies and comma-separated GPU policies. Tests cover whitespace, case sensitivity, combinations, and malformed values.
Admission and node policy resolution
pkg/scheduler/webhook.go, pkg/scheduler/score.go, pkg/scheduler/webhook_test.go
Admission denies invalid annotations. Node policy resolution accepts valid annotations and falls back to the configured policy for invalid values.
GPU policy resolution
pkg/util/util.go, pkg/util/util_test.go
GPU policy resolution preserves the configured default for invalid annotations and retains valid chained annotations.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f6662

Whitespace-surrounded node scheduler policies can be accepted but incorrectly use the binpack behavior instead of the requested policy, potentially changing pod placement. Merge should wait for normalization and a regression test.

A rabbit checked each policy line

Valid paths now fit just fine
Bad notes meet a guarded gate
Defaults wait when values stray
GPUs and nodes hop in rhyme

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #2767. The webhook rejects invalid GPU and node policy annotations, and both policy resolvers retain configured defaults with warning logs when invalid annotations bypass admission. Unit tests cover valid values, invalid values, and fallback behavior.

Normalize the validated node policy before returning it. ValidNodeSchedulerPolicy accepts " spread " after trimming, but NodeScoreList.Less compares the returned value exactly and therefore uses the default binpack comparator. Return strings.TrimSpace(value) and add a whitespace-resolution test.

closing as duplicate of #2769, which was opened earlier for the same issue #2767. that PR also guards the gpu policy read path in GetGPUSchedulerPolicyByPod, so the fallback works even when the webhook is disabled, and its placement test covers the behavior end to end. the admission time error message from this PR is a nice idea, feel free to propose it as a follow up once #2769 lands.
