What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR continues the work from #8365 (authored by @qinqon). The commits here are a takeover of that change set so we can rebase, fix CI, and drive the fix to merge while Quique is unavailable. The approach and code are intentionally the same as in #8365.

The MCO templates unconditionally render nmstate configuration files that disable IPv6 autoconf and set up the fe80::1 ARP proxy gateway route. This is correct for the default pod network, where OVN-Kubernetes assigns IPv6 via DHCPv6 stateful. However, when a KubeVirt NodePool uses multus as the primary network (AttachDefaultNetwork=false), these configurations break SLAAC and prevent nodes from getting IPv6 addresses in dual-stack setups.

This PR makes the HyperShift nodepool controller generate an override MachineConfig that replaces the MCO-rendered nmstate files with no-op content, restoring standard IPv6 auto-configuration (SLAAC). The override is scoped to exactly the broken population — NodePools using multus as primary network on clusters whose networking includes IPv6:

  • Default-network NodePools: nothing is generated. The MCO templates remain the source of truth, the NodePool config hash is unchanged, and upgrading the HyperShift operator does not trigger a fleet-wide rollout.
  • IPv4-only multus NodePools: nothing is generated either. The stale nmstate files are asymptomatic there, and since cluster networking CIDRs are immutable those clusters can never become affected.
  • Multus NodePools on IPv6-enabled clusters: the override MachineConfig is generated; the resulting NodePool rollout is the bug fix itself.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-77307

Special notes for your reviewer:

No MCO changes are required: instead of moving ownership of the nmstate configuration into HyperShift (which would have changed the NodePool config hash for every KubeVirt NodePool and caused a fleet-wide rollout on operator upgrade), HyperShift only neutralizes the MCO-rendered files where they are wrong.

Unit tests in config_test.go (TestGetPlatformConfigs) assert that no platform config is generated for default-network and IPv4-only multus NodePools, guaranteeing the config hash — and therefore the fleet — is untouched by an operator upgrade.

The e2e KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest assertion is IP-family aware: on IPv4-only CI lanes it verifies the override is correctly not generated (MCO config still applied); on IPv6-enabled clusters it verifies the override neutralizes the MCO config.

Test coverage note: the KubeVirt CI lane (e2e-kubevirt-aws-ovn-reduced) is IPv4-only, so CI exercises the gating logic and the no-rollout guarantees (unit + e2e), but not the positive path end-to-end (override applied on nodes, SLAAC working). The positive path is covered by unit tests on the generated MachineConfig content and will be verified on a dual-stack environment as part of the OCPBUGS-77307 QE verification.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The NodePool configuration path now adds platform-specific KubeVirt configuration before parsing MachineConfig data. For IPv6-enabled clusters with Multus as the primary network, it generates a MachineConfig that overrides two nmstate files. Other platforms and unsupported configurations produce no additional configuration. Unit tests cover generation and IPv6 detection. End-to-end tests verify nmstate settings with checker DaemonSets on KubeVirt nodes.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The added E2E checks create privileged nmstate-checker DaemonSets but do not clean them up. KubeVirtMultinetTest.TeardownInfra remains a no-op, and KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest.TeardownInfra deletes only the NAD and dnsmasq Pod. The DaemonSets run in kube-system and remain until hosted-cluster teardown. The new Create assertions at test/e2e/nodepool_kv_multinet_test.go:121 and test/e2e/nodepool_kv_advanced_multinet_test.go:123 also have no diagnostic message. The shared rollout helper uses an explicit 25-minute timeout, so no timeout failure was found.

Resolution

Register cleanup immediately after each DaemonSet creation, or delete the DaemonSet from the corresponding TeardownInfra, and tolerate an already-absent object. Add diagnostic messages to both Create assertions, such as failed to create nmstate checker DaemonSet %s/%s. Keep the existing explicit rollout timeout.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

The changed e2e tests add a DaemonSet that uses registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:latest. Both modified Run methods create this DaemonSet, and the image was not present in the base revision. The test therefore pulls from a public registry without a mirror or internal registry. The IPv6 branch dynamically detects the cluster network, so that branch is not the failure. The existing 192.168.66.0/24 setup was not introduced by this pull request.

Resolution

IPv6 and disconnected network compatibility notice: This test may contain IPv4 assumptions or external connectivity requirements that will fail in IPv6-only disconnected environments. Please verify your test works on IPv6 by running an additional CI job: /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.22-e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6 Use an internal or mirrored image for the new DaemonSet. If external image access cannot be removed, add [Skipped:Disconnected] to the test name. For any IPv4-only behavior, use GetIPAddressFamily() or GetIPFamilyForCluster() and adapt or skip the test for IPv6-only clusters.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The pull request adds a Kubernetes DaemonSet with prohibited privileges in test/e2e/nodepool_kv_advanced_multinet_test.go. composeNmstateCheckerDaemonSet sets HostPID: true and container SecurityContext.Privileged: ptr.To(true) (new lines 365 and 388). Run creates this DaemonSet through hostedClusterClient.Create, and the updated test registration makes the test reachable. These settings directly match the custom check.

Taking over #8365 so we can continue OCPBUGS-77307 while Quique is unavailable.

This PR carries the same change set (override MCO nmstate only for Multus-primary + IPv6), rebased onto current main. Alberto’s earlier fleet-rollout concern was already addressed in that design — happy to walk through it again here if useful.

Could you continue the review on this PR?

Overall the approach is sound — overriding the MCO-rendered nmstate files for multus-primary NodePools is well-scoped and follows the established MachineConfig generation pattern (haproxy, FIPS, SSH). The config hash isolation is correct: default-network and IPv4-only NodePools see no hash change, no fleet-wide rollout.

A few inline suggestions, mostly around code duplication and one question about the KubeVirt NodePoolReplicas=1 scope.

This is the third copy of the same IPv6 detection logic (also in kubevirt/network.go and resources.go). Since the network.go version takes ClusterNetworking, this could be a one-liner:

func hasIPv6HostedClusterNetwork(hc *hyperv1.HostedCluster) bool {
    return kvinfra.HasIPv6Network(hc.Spec.Networking)
}

(after exporting it). Would reduce the maintenance surface.

I think Oren mentioned this as well.
I think that exporting that package to e2e - just for this small helper is not worth it.

But if you still think it's worth it then I won't insist. waiting for your call

@RamLavi we should not forget to remove the nmstate hack at MCO after we merge this, although not sure at what moment since MCO release is different than hypershift release.

https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/tree/main/templates/common/kubevirt/files

Also maybe we can now simplify it a little since nmstate is fixed with the bug:

… IPv6

The MCO templates unconditionally render nmstate files that disable
IPv6 autoconf and route IPv6 through KubeVirt's ARP proxy gateway
(fe80::1). That configuration is only correct for the default pod
network, where OVN-Kubernetes assigns IPv6 via DHCPv6 stateful. When
a NodePool uses multus as its primary network
(AttachDefaultNetwork=false), it breaks SLAAC and nodes never get
IPv6 addresses on dual-stack clusters.

Generate an override MachineConfig that replaces the MCO-rendered
nmstate files with no-op content, restoring standard IPv6
auto-configuration. The override is scoped to NodePools using multus
as primary network on clusters whose networking includes IPv6:

- Default-network NodePools get nothing: the MCO templates remain the
  source of truth, the NodePool config hash is unchanged and upgrading
  the HyperShift operator does not trigger a fleet-wide rollout.
- IPv4-only multus NodePools get nothing either: the stale files are
  asymptomatic there, and since cluster networking CIDRs are immutable
  those clusters can never become affected.
- Multus NodePools on IPv6-enabled clusters get the override; the
  resulting NodePool rollout is the bug fix itself.

…tack

On KubeVirt, CNO requires worker nodes to probe the network MTU
before deploying its operands (ovnkube-control-plane,
network-node-identity, multus-admission-controller). Without at
least one worker node, these deployments are never created, causing
the CNO RolloutComplete condition to stay False and
controlPlaneVersion to remain Partial indefinitely.

This is the same issue OpenStack already works around by setting
NodePoolReplicas=1. Apply the same workaround for KubeVirt.

…net tests

Extend KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest and KubeVirtMultinetTest to verify
the nmstate network configuration nodes end up with, depending on the
AttachDefaultNetwork setting and the cluster IP family.

When the default network is attached (KubeVirtMultinetTest), a
privileged DaemonSet checks via nmstatectl that autoconf: false IS
present, confirming the MCO-rendered nmstate configuration is applied.

When AttachDefaultNetwork=false (KubeVirtAdvancedMultinetTest) the
assertion depends on the HostedCluster networking: on clusters with
IPv6 the override MachineConfig must neutralize the MCO-rendered
config, so autoconf: false must NOT be present; on IPv4-only clusters
no override is generated on purpose (to avoid NodePool rollouts on
operator upgrades), so the MCO-rendered config must still be applied.

The negative (multus+IPv6) probe captures nmstatectl output before
grepping so a transient command failure fails the probe (the pod stays
NotReady and the test keeps waiting) instead of being misread as
"config absent".

Both tests reuse existing e2e infrastructure: CorrelateDaemonSet for
node targeting and eventuallyDaemonSetRollsOut for readiness waiting.
