alt: merge-patch expected-backup-type annotation instead of retrying Update - #207
Conversation
…Update Alternative to migtools#206's retry.RetryOnConflict approach, for comparison: same bug (handleAccepted's expected-backup-type Update can lose a race against a concurrent writer -- e.g. Velero's own built-in DataUpload controller -- and, since Step 4 creates the VMB in the same reconcile call, permanently lose the annotation with no future reconcile ever revisiting this code). Instead of retrying r.Update with a refetch on conflict, use a single JSON merge patch naming only this one annotation key. A merge patch carries no resourceVersion precondition, so it structurally cannot 409 on a concurrent change to any other field -- no retry loop needed at all -- and it merges rather than overwrites, so a concurrent writer's own change survives alongside it with no explicit refetch-and-preserve required. Single API call versus up to N Get+Update pairs. TestHandleAccepted_ExpectedBackupTypePatchSurvivesConcurrentWrite proves this directly: an interceptor lets a separate "concurrent writer" bump an unrelated label via a real Update immediately before the annotation patch is sent (exactly the scenario that 409s a plain r.Update), then asserts the patch still succeeds AND the concurrent writer's own label survives.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes concurrent annotation updates safer, but a failed annotation write can still be followed by backup creation without the expected backup-type marker, weakening mismatch detection for that backup. Failed image builds also incur an unnecessary five-second delay after the last retry; the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Per CodeRabbit review of migtools#207: the concurrent-write test only checked the annotation was non-empty, not that it matched the expected value (BackupTypeFull, since this fixture has no BSL index.json). Tightening this makes the test actually pin the value the fix is supposed to produce, not just its presence. Signed-off-by: Tiger Kaovilai <passawit.kaovilai@gmail.com>

- Around line 519-520: Initialize the reconcile-context logger with log :=
log.FromContext(ctx) and replace the existing logger.Info call in the expected
backup type annotation retry path with log.Info, preserving the structured
reason field and all context-attached fields.
- Around line 518-520: Update the annotation patch handling in the
reconciliation flow around r.Patch so a failed expected-backup-type annotation
prevents the VMB creation transition and returns a retryable result or preserves
retry state for a later reconciliation. Ensure the retry can execute before the
vmb != nil guard, and handle the VMBT-name guard so successful persistence
eventually allows progress without indefinite requeues.

Per shubham's review: client.MergeFrom(original) lets controller-runtime compute and serialize the merge patch from a before/after diff instead of hand-constructing the JSON bytes. Same semantics (a plain client.MergeFrom carries no resourceVersion precondition, unlike MergeFromWithOptimisticLock), just via the SDK-native mechanism meant for exactly this instead of a raw %q-escaped string.

/retest Both failures are the same infra flake: Note Responses generated with Claude |
ci/prow/images and ci/prow/virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws (which depends on the same image build) have both failed twice in a row on this PR with the identical error: go: k8s.io/api@v0.36.0: read "https://proxy.golang.org/...": stream error: stream ID NNNN; INTERNAL_ERROR; received from peer proxy.golang.org intermittently drops the module fetch mid-transfer -- unrelated to any code change here, and ci-operator appears to cache the failed Build object rather than re-attempting the download on a bare /retest (both failures carried identical stream IDs). go mod download has no built-in retry flag, so wrap it in a short shell retry loop, mirroring the same fix already applied in oadp-operator's own build/ci-Dockerfile for the identical error.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Skip the delay after the final failed attempt.
When attempt 5 fails, the loop still logs retrying (5/5) and sleeps for five seconds before returning failure. This delays every permanently failing build and reports a retry that will not occur. Guard the log and sleep 5 with [ "$i" -lt 5 ].
Proposed fix
-RUN retry() { for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do "$@" && return 0; echo "retrying ($i/5): $*" >&2; sleep 5; done; return 1; }; \
+RUN retry() { for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do "$@" && return 0; if [ "$i" -lt 5 ]; then echo "retrying ($i/5): $*" >&2; sleep 5; fi; done; return 1; }; \📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Summary
Alternative proposal to #206, opened side-by-side for comparison rather than as a replacement. Same bug, different fix shape.
The shared bug (see #206 for full root-cause writeup)
handleAccepted's fresh-VMB path can lose theexpected-backup-typeannotation write to a concurrent writer (this repo's own README documents that Velero's built-inDataUploadcontroller also reconciles these objects), and since Step 4 creates theVirtualMachineBackupin the same reconcile call, that loss is permanent -- no future reconcile ever revisits this code once the VMB exists.This PR's approach: merge patch instead of retry-on-conflict
#206 fixes it by wrapping
r.Updateinretry.RetryOnConflict, refetchingduon each conflict before reapplying the annotation.This PR instead replaces the
Updatewith a singleclient.RawPatch(types.MergePatchType, ...)naming only theexpected-backup-typekey:resourceVersionprecondition, so it cannot 409 on a concurrent change to any other field -- there's structurally nothing to retry.Get+Updatepairs underretry.RetryOnConflict's backoff.Tradeoff worth flagging: a merge patch doesn't let the caller observe or react to the object's current server state before writing (a raw Update naturally does, since you already have the object in hand) -- but Step 3c only ever needs to write one key, never read one back, so that isn't a real cost here.
Test plan (TDD)
TestHandleAccepted_ExpectedBackupTypePatchSurvivesConcurrentWrite: an interceptor lets a separate "concurrent writer" bump an unrelated label via a realUpdateimmediately before the annotation patch is sent -- exactly the scenario that 409s a plainr.Update. Asserts the patch still succeeds and the concurrent writer's own label survives (proving the merge, not just the non-conflict).go build ./...go vet ./...go test ./...make lintNote
