docs(designs): add ADR-103 for OCI RDMA NetworkAttachmentDefinition detection - #543
mlsorensen wants to merge 9 commits into
Conversation
…etection Proposes resolving the secondary network the OCI RDMA fragment attaches from the cluster, instead of rendering a hard-coded network-operator/sriov-net. On OCI with mlnxPerNode > 0, the Certification controller lists NetworkAttachmentDefinitions and keeps those annotated k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName: nvidia.com/mlnxnics. One match is used. Several equivalent matches are picked deterministically with a Normal event. Several that differ, zero matches, or a list error fail the Certification with SecondaryNetworkDetectionFailed before any workload is created. Offline render keeps network-operator/sriov-net as a named default and says so on stderr. --dry-run runs the controller's resolution. The manager gains get and list on network-attachment-definitions, read uncached. No API change. Refs NVIDIA#542 Signed-off-by: Marcus Sorensen <msorensen@nvidia.com>

Keying detection on k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName is the right fact to key on, and the fail-closed stance is right for the controller. A few things need to change before this is ready.
Overlap with #510. #510 (approved, fixes #400) adds networkAttachments to CategoryOptions and WorkloadRunSpec. On OCI it replaces the sriov-net wiring outright, and it gates oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml on not .HasNetworkAttachments. That is the override field this ADR lists as a deferred follow-up, so the ADR should build on it rather than defer it:
- Detection runs only when the resolved category options have no
networkAttachments. - The "several that differ" and zero-match messages point at
networkAttachmentsas the fix. - The two changes touch the same files (
oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml,catalog.go,loader.go,pkg/certification/certification.go,platform-detection.md), so this one should be written against #510's version of them.
ADR number. 101 is also claimed by #510 (101-network-attachments.md), #533 and #537. This one needs a new number.
Other places that name sriov-net as fact. The Implementation list should cover them too:
- the
mlnxPerNodedoc comment inapi/v1alpha1/certification_types.go:220. Changing it changes the generated CRD description, so it needsmake manifests. pkg/catalog/entries/_lib/gpu-defaults.yaml:69- the header comment of
oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml - the OCI rows in
docs/concepts/platform-detection.md:89-95, which statenetwork-operator/sriov-netas what OCI renders docs/api-reference/certification.md
CI. "Scan Go dependencies" fails on GO-2026-6809. The branch was cut from 765ff4a, before the Go 1.27.3 bump in #540, so a rebase clears it.
I checked the rest against main and it holds: the GKE TCPXO precedent, the two callers of createWorkflowForCategory and the name-collision terminal path, APIReader on the reconciler, the manager role as the place for cluster-wide reads under ADR-092, no OCI override in workloadrun.yaml, and the Multus deviceID / host-device reasoning.

As written, a 503 or a timeout on the list ends the Certification, because Decision 3 makes every failure here terminal. createWorkflowForCategory already has retryableCreateError for exactly this case (#384). Only the outcomes a retry can't change should be terminal: Forbidden, the API not being served (meta.IsNoMatchError), zero matches, and several that differ. Anything else should come back as retryableCreateError and requeue.

Two things here.
- The Certification namespace and the workload namespace are the same: the Workflow is created in
certification.Namespace, and the Job and TrainJob follow it. Line 44 and the Implementation section say "workload namespace". Pick one term and say they're the same. - The local preference only applies among equivalent matches, so it doesn't deliver what Decision 6 promises. A site with
namespaceIsolationthat adds its own NAD in the workload namespace has most likely made it different from the cluster-wide one, so it lands in "several that differ" and fails. Under isolation the other namespaces' NADs can't be attached anyway. I'd make a single match in the workload namespace win outright, and apply the equivalence rule only to candidates outside it.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both done in ecab62a. The ADR now says up front that the workload namespace is the Certification's namespace, and uses that one term throughout. A single match in the workload namespace wins outright, and the equivalence rule applies only to candidates elsewhere (Decision 2, reasoning under Rationale). There is a test case for a local NAD that differs from the cluster-wide one.
|
|
||
| 5. **Read-only, uncached, narrow RBAC.** The list goes through the manager's `APIReader` as an `unstructured` `k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1` `NetworkAttachmentDefinitionList`. Going uncached means no informer, so no `watch` verb and no permanent cache of every NAD in the cluster. Detection runs once per category Workflow creation, and only on OCI with `mlnxPerNode > 0`. `nvcre-manager-role` gains `get` and `list` on `k8s.cni.cncf.io/network-attachment-definitions`, and nothing else. This is a read, so it goes in the cluster-wide manager role, not in `nvcre-run-role` (ADR-092). Without that grant, the result is an explicit RBAC failure under rule 2. | ||
|
|
||
| 6. **Document Multus `namespaceIsolation` rather than solve it.** With `namespaceIsolation: true`, Multus rejects a pod that references a NAD in another namespace, except the `default` namespace and any listed in `globalNamespaces`. Detection can pick a NAD in another namespace, and that is how both known clusters work. Sites with isolation enabled must add the NAD's namespace to `globalNamespaces` or provide a NAD in the workload namespace, which detection then prefers. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agree with CodeRabbit here. default is implicitly allowed only when globalNamespaces is unset. Once it's set, default has to be listed too. See also the line 29 comment: as the rules stand, "provide a NAD in the workload namespace, which detection then prefers" fails whenever that NAD differs from the cluster-wide one.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Corrected in Decision 6: default is implicit only while globalNamespaces is unset. That matches Multus pkg/types/conf.go, where setting it replaces the default list. With the line 29 change, the "provide a NAD in the workload namespace" option now works even when that NAD differs.
|
|
||
| ## Implementation | ||
|
|
||
| - `pkg/catalog/catalog.go`, `loader.go`: add `BuildConfig.OCISecondaryNetwork`, `TemplateData.OCISecondaryNetwork` (set to `DefaultOCISecondaryNetwork` when empty), and the constants `DefaultOCISecondaryNetwork` and `OCIMlnxResourceName`. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Defaulting TemplateData.OCISecondaryNetwork inside the catalog loader means any controller path that doesn't set the field renders network-operator/sriov-net with no error. Decision 3 says that never happens on OCI, but nothing enforces it. Either have the offline CLI path set the default explicitly in BuildConfig, or add a controller test that an OCI render with mlnxPerNode > 0 only ever carries the name detection returned.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in Decision 4. The loader no longer defaults the field, Build fails when MlnxPerNode > 0 and it is empty, and every caller sets it: the detected name on OCI, DefaultOCISecondaryNetwork where the OCI block is pruned or gated off, and offline. The testing plan adds a controller golden that an OCI render only ever carries the detected name.
|
|
||
| 3. **Fail closed, before any workload exists.** A failure returns a typed error from `createWorkflowForCategory` before `entry.Build`. Both callers then call `setCertificationFailed` with a new reason, `SecondaryNetworkDetectionFailed`, and emit a Warning event with the same message. Like a Workflow name collision, this is terminal: the spec is immutable, so the operator fixes the cluster (or sets `mlnxPerNode: 0`) and re-creates the Certification. The controller never renders the default name on OCI. The `nvidia.com/mlnxnics` request is never rendered without its attachment, because that would certify a transport other than the one the operator asked for. | ||
|
|
||
| 4. **Offline render keeps a named default and says so.** `nvcrectl certification render` without `--dry-run` has no cluster to read. It renders `catalog.DefaultOCISecondaryNetwork = "network-operator/sriov-net"`, today's value, and prints one stderr note: the name is a default, and the controller detects the real network when it reconciles. `--dry-run` runs the controller's resolution and fails closed with the controller's message, because dry-run exists to predict what reconcile will do. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
--dry-run runs with the user's kubeconfig, not the controller's service account, so it needs cluster-wide list on NADs. A user without it gets a Forbidden the controller would never hit, which breaks "dry-run predicts reconcile". I'd turn a Forbidden into a warning in dry-run (the controller has the grant) and keep the other outcomes fatal.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done in Decision 4: --dry-run warns on Forbidden and renders the default, and every other outcome stays fatal as in the controller.
| | One | Use it. | | ||
| | Several, all equivalent | Pick deterministically: a NAD in the Certification's namespace first, otherwise the first `<ns>/<name>` in sorted order. Emit a Normal `SecondaryNetworkDetection` event naming the choice and the equivalents it skipped. | | ||

On OCI, mlnxPerNode: 0 doesn't have to mean no RDMA: ADR-088's rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPath covers clusters that expose /dev/infiniband without a device plugin. With #510 in, networkAttachments is also a fix. Worth naming both in the message.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Done. The zero-match message now lists creating a NAD for nvidia.com/mlnxnics, networkAttachments, rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPath (ADR-088), and mlnxPerNode: 0.
| | Zero | Fail. Say what was found (NADs carrying another `resourceName`, or none) and: "create one, or set mlnxPerNode: 0 to certify without RDMA". | | ||
| | List error, RBAC denial, or the NAD API not served | Fail with that error's own message. Never treat it as zero matches. | | ||
|
|
||
| **Equivalent** means the same `resourceName` (true by construction) and the same `spec.config` after parsing it as JSON and removing the top-level `name` key. A config that does not parse as JSON is never equivalent to anything. Two NADs that differ only in name, namespace, whitespace or key order are equivalent. A different `type`, `ipam`, or any other top-level key makes them differ. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
A NAD with an empty spec.config (Multus then reads the CNI config from disk by name) never parses, so two of them are never equivalent. Failing closed is right; please say so explicitly, since it's the one case where "same config" can't be checked at all.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added to the equivalence definition in Decision 2: an empty spec.config cannot be compared, so it is never equivalent and fails closed. It is in the test cases too.
| - several equivalent: whitespace and key order, names only, and preferring the workload namespace | ||
| - several that differ: IPAM, CNI type, and config that is not JSON | ||
| - a matching `resourceName` annotation on a different resource | ||
| - a list error |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
"a matching resourceName annotation on a different resource": I can't tell what this tests. The list only returns NADs, and a NAD carrying a different resourceName is already covered by the zero-match case two lines up. Can you clarify it or drop it?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Clarified: it means a NAD with the right value under the wrong key, k8s.cni.cncf.io/resourceName (the DRA attribute key) instead of k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName. It counts as zero matches.
|
|
||
| ## Consequences | ||
|
|
||
| - Clusters whose RDMA network has another name or namespace attach it with no manual step. A cluster that already provides `network-operator/sriov-net` keeps attaching it, provided the NAD carries the `resourceName` annotation. NADs the Network Operator renders from `SriovNetwork` or `HostDeviceNetwork` always do. A NAD written without it now fails closed with the zero-match message, where before it attached by name. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
One more group to call out: clusters that applied the workaround from #542 and created network-operator/sriov-net by hand next to the platform's NAD. If their copy differs in any top-level key, even cniVersion, they go from working to "several that differ" on upgrade. The message should tell them to delete the copy.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added to Consequences and to the "several that differ" row: when one candidate is network-operator/sriov-net, the message says a copy created by hand as the #542 workaround should be deleted, or the network listed with networkAttachments. There is a test case for it.
|
|
||
| ## Alternatives Considered | ||
|
|
||
| - **An optional override field** on Certification (e.g. `secondaryNetworks`), additive in `v1alpha1`, following the `nicResourceName` pattern: the field when set, detection when unset. This is the clean remedy for "several that differ" and for a wrong pick. It is deferred to keep this change free of API changes, and left to the reviewer as a follow-up. |

This is #510, which is already approved. See the review body.

Agreed. ADR-103 now builds on ADR-101 instead of deferring an override field: detection runs only when no networkAttachments list is set, and the failure messages point at the list.
…odetect Signed-off-by: Marcus Sorensen <msorensen@nvidia.com>
ADR-101 is taken by NVIDIA#510, NVIDIA#533 and NVIDIA#537, and 102 by NVIDIA#539. Build on NVIDIA#510's networkAttachments rather than deferring an override field: detection runs only when the resolved options set no list, and the failure messages name the list as the fix. From review: - A single match in the workload namespace wins outright; the equivalence rule applies only to candidates elsewhere, so a site under namespaceIsolation can add its own NAD. State that the workload namespace is the Certification's. - Only zero matches, differing matches, Forbidden and NoMatch are terminal. Other list errors requeue through retryableCreateError. - No default in the catalog loader: every caller sets the name, and Build fails when it is empty with NICs requested. - --dry-run warns on Forbidden, since it lists with the user's kubeconfig rather than the controller's service account. - Name networkAttachments and rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPath in the zero-match message, say that an empty spec.config is never equivalent, and hint at deleting a hand-made sriov-net copy. - Correct the globalNamespaces note: default is implicit only while globalNamespaces is unset. - List every place that names sriov-net as fact, and clarify the wrong-key test case.

Thanks, this covers everything from my first pass. I checked each reply against ecab62a, and the ADR reads well built on ADR-101: detection is the default and networkAttachments is the escape hatch.
Two things before merge:
- Lines 33–35. CodeRabbit's comment holds. When the workload namespace has several matches and they're all equivalent, line 33 says to apply the rows below, but line 35 only covers equivalents when there are none in the workload namespace, so nothing says which local one to pick. Phrasing rows 34–35 in terms of "the candidates" (the local matches if there are any, otherwise all matches) fixes it, and the sorted pick and the Normal event then apply to both.
- Merge order. This depends on #510, which is still open, and it refers to ADR-101, which isn't on
mainyet. Please hold the merge until #510 lands.
On your question about NVCRE creating its own NAD: not now from me. Detection plus networkAttachments covers the layouts we know about, and owning a NAD would pull CNI choices like the switchdev/SR-IOV issue into NVCRE, along with create/delete RBAC and cleanup. If a cluster turns up with no NAD for nvidia.com/mlnxnics and no way to add one, we can revisit it then.
Define the candidates as the matches in the workload namespace if there are any, otherwise all matches, and state the one, equivalent, differ and zero rules over them. This covers several equivalent NADs in the workload namespace, which the previous table left without a pick. Signed-off-by: Marcus Sorensen <msorensen@nvidia.com>

Decision 1 gates detection on an OCI target with mlnxPerNode > 0 and says that is "exactly when oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml renders". It isn't. Eight entries pull that fragment in, all under communication/ and training/. diagnostics/dcgm-level4.yaml is not one of them: its OCI override block only flips privileged: false and pulls in no deps, and its pod is hostNetwork: true with dnsPolicy: ClusterFirstWithHostNet, so it could not carry a Multus networks annotation even if it wanted one.
mlnxPerNode still resolves to 8 for it. _lib/gpu-defaults.yaml sets h100: mlnxPerNode: 8 under defaults:, and platformOverrides.oci covers only l40s, gb200 and gb300, so OCI H100 inherits the 8. I ran the real resolution path against the node in cmd/integration/testdata/reconcile/certification-oci-dcgm/input_client_objects.yaml: detectPlatform returns oci and catalog.GPUDefaults("h100", "oci").MlnxPerNode is 8, so the gate fires. Rendering that same Certification with nvcrectl certification render --platform oci gives zero hits for mlnxnics or cncf.io/networks.
That is the problem. On a stock DGXC H100 cluster with no NAD annotated k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName: nvidia.com/mlnxnics, certification-oci-dcgm lands on the zero row in Decision 2, and Decision 3 makes it terminal: CertificationFailed with SecondaryNetworkDetectionFailed, before any Workflow is created. A category that references no secondary network at all gets killed over one. It's a case we already have passing in the tree.
The gate wants to be about whether the resolved entry actually renders the OCI attachment, not about mlnxPerNode alone. Resolving lazily is one way: render first, detect only when the output carries an OCI k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation, which is the condition Decision 4 already leans on for the offline stderr note. Folding the entry's own OCI-RDMA-ness into the gate is the other.
The rest of the design holds up well. Anchoring on resourceName rather than a name convention, the spec.config equivalence rule, and the terminal versus retryable split all read right to me.

It lists NetworkAttachmentDefinitions in every namespace and keeps those annotated `k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName: nvidia.com/mlnxnics`, the resource the OCI fragment requests. The chosen `<namespace>/<name>` reaches the template through a new `BuildConfig.OCISecondaryNetwork` field. An explicit list always wins and skips detection entirely, including its RBAC. No API change. |

This gate is broader than the set of entries that render the fragment. diagnostics/dcgm-level4.yaml never pulls in oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml, but on OCI H100 it resolves mlnxPerNode: 8 from the defaults: block in _lib/gpu-defaults.yaml, so the gate fires for it and Decision 2's zero row fails it terminally on any cluster with no matching NAD.
Gate on whether the resolved entry actually renders the OCI attachment instead: detect only when the rendered output carries an OCI k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation, or fold the entry's OCI-RDMA-ness into the condition.

Detection was gated on an OCI target with mlnxPerNode > 0, which is not when oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml renders. dcgm-level4 never includes the fragment, and the nemotron entries include it only in their L40S/L40, GB200 and GB300 blocks, while OCI resolves mlnxPerNode above 0 for H100, A100, B200, B300, H200, L40S, L40 and GB300. Those categories would have failed over a network they never reference. Build first with a sentinel network name, and detect only when the sentinel survives overlay application; then build again with the detected name. A sentinel left before Create is an ordinary error. Add the gate matrix and the no-attachment cases to the testing plan.

@ndipebot thanks, you're right, and the problem was wider than
There was no case the other way round, where a category attaches while Fixed in 50ded10, using your first option. Decision 1 now gates on the render: the controller builds with a sentinel network name, applies and prunes overlays, and detects only if the sentinel is still in the resolved spec, remaining overrides included. Otherwise that first pass is the Workflow, with no NAD listed. When it does detect, it builds again with the detected name and checks that no sentinel is left before Create.

This is fixed at the root rather than at the symptom, which is better than what I suggested. Gating on the rendered Workflow keeps the question of which categories use RDMA in the catalog instead of restating it in the controller, so the two cannot drift.
Thanks for running the full matrix. Eighteen entry and architecture combinations is a lot wider than the one case I found, and the nemotron entries resolving mlnxPerNode above 0 on H100, A100, B200, B300 and H200 while their OCI blocks only pull the fragment for L40S, L40, GB200 and GB300 is exactly the kind of thing an input-only gate gets wrong.
I checked the new factual claims against the catalog at this head and they hold. The sentinel round trip is sound: Build is pure in its config, so the second pass differs only in that string, and failing closed on a leftover sentinel through WorkflowValidationFailed is the right direction to fail. Keeping certification-oci-dcgm as a must-keep-passing case and adding the gate-matrix golden means a catalog change that starts or stops attaching shows up as a diff in review.

…ended resources (#510) * feat(api): add networkAttachments for Multus networks paired with extended resources Add networkAttachments ([]{network, resourceName, count}) to CategoryOptions and WorkloadRunSpec so a site with one extended resource and one NetworkAttachmentDefinition per rail (for example Spectrum-X RoCE) can attach the workers to its east-west fabric. Each entry adds its network to the worker pod's k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks annotation in list order and requests count units (default 1) of its resourceName on the worker container, so the n-th network pairs with the n-th resource. The MPI launcher gets neither. The list owns the NIC wiring: it is mutually exclusive with nicResourceName, skips NIC auto-detection, and on OCI replaces the default sriov-net attachments and their mlnxnics request. CEL rules enforce the entry patterns, a 16-entry cap, and the exclusions with nicResourceName, rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPath and mlnxPerNode: 0; readCertification and readWorkloadRun mirror them offline. nvcrectl certification run gains --network-attachments network=resource[:count],... and the zipped --multus-networks / --extended-resources pair, which errors on a length mismatch. categoryOptionsSuffix gains a -net<N>-<hash8> token so categories that differ only in their attachments get distinct Workflows; it defers to #430. Design in ADR-101. Fixes #400 Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * fix(api): drop networkAttachments count; one entry is one interface Review on #510 (kaynetu): an entry attaches one interface, so count > 1 reserved devices that nothing wires. A second interface on a network is a second entry, and entries that share a resourceName already add up. Remove NetworkAttachment.count and EffectiveCount(). Each entry now requests one unit of its resourceName. --network-attachments takes network=resource entries and rejects the old network=resource:count form with a pointer to repeating the entry. The Workflow name token hashes the (network, resourceName) pairs in list order, so the goldens that carry a net token get new names. Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * fix(api): allow mlnxPerNode: 0 with networkAttachments; scope the NIC replacement to OCI Review on #510 (kaynetu): "the list owns the NIC wiring" only held on OCI. Azure, TogetherAI and Forge still render nvidia.com/mlnxnics next to the attachments, nscale renders its rdma claim, and the mlnxPerNode: 0 rule blocked the one setting that drops those requests. Keep the OCI gate (sriov-net is itself a Multus default, so the list replaces it) and do not gate the other platforms: they reach their InfiniBand fabric through those device-plugin or DRA requests and their NCCL environment names the HCAs, so dropping the request whenever a list is set would break the run. Instead remove the mlnxPerNode: 0 CEL rule from CategoryOptions and WorkloadRunSpec and from the offline mirrors, so a user who wants only the listed networks sets mlnxPerNode: 0 as on any other run (ADR-087). Tests: the two error cases become a WorkloadRun admission case that is accepted, and two TogetherAI H100 render goldens pin the request kept beside the list and dropped by mlnxPerNode: 0. Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * fix(controller): check networkAttachments exclusions on the merged options Review on #510 (kaynetu): the CRD rules and readCertification read one options block at a time, so rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPath at the spec level and a list in a category (or the reverse) passed both and rendered a privileged pod with the /dev/infiniband mount and the attachment. Add controller.CheckResolvedNetworkAttachments and call it on each category's ResolveOptions result in createWorkflowForCategory and in renderCertification. The category fails (WorkflowValidationFailed on the controller, an error from render) with the way out in the message: devicePlugin in a category that inherits hostPath with a list, or nicResourceName in a category that inherits the list and needs hostPath. hostPath is not cleared in ResolveOptions the way nicResourceName is, because it changes how every container reaches the RDMA devices and dropping it silently would run a configuration nobody asked for. Tests: a controller golden for both directions and the two ways out, and two render-error goldens, one of them the review's exact spec. Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * fix(controller): add a nic token to the Workflow name when a category sets nicResourceName Review on #510 (kaynetu): a category's nicResourceName replaces a spec-level networkAttachments list, so a category with no options (which inherits the list) and one that sets only nicResourceName attach to different fabrics but both rendered as c3-communication-nccl-all-4092a, and the second would have adopted the first's Workflow. categoryOptionsSuffix now adds nic<hash8> (SHA-256 of the resource name, hashed like env since the name carries a slash) whenever a category sets nicResourceName. This also separates two categories that name different NIC resources, which collided before this PR too. Categories that already set nicResourceName get a new Workflow name. An in-flight category is unaffected, since its Workflow is found through the recorded workflowRef; the renamed goldens are the two per-category NIC render cases and the certification-onprem-gb300-nccl reconcile case. Tests: a controller golden with the review's spec plus a third category on a different resource. Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * docs(workloadrun): state that spec.overrides apply after networkAttachments; add the missing tests Review on #510 (kaynetu): the WorkloadRun comment said nothing later competes with the attachments, but the user's spec.overrides are applied when the Workflow reconciles, after the attachments, so an override that sets k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/networks wins there while Certification's list is final. Keep that order and document it. spec.overrides is the last word on every other WorkloadRun field too, so making the list the one exception would be the surprise; Certification has no user overrides, which is the whole of the difference. Narrow the controller comment to platform overrides, say the same in pkg/workloadrun, and add it to the API reference. Tests the review asked for: - pkg/controller: a golden for the WorkloadRun controller path (buildWorkflowSpecWithWarning plus the Workflow's override pass): NIC detection skipped on an on-prem B300 that would otherwise pick rdma/ib, Azure's mlnxnics request kept beside the list and dropped by mlnxPerNode: 0, and a user override replacing the networks annotation. - pkg/platform: a golden for ApplyNetworkAttachmentsToDependencies: the catalog annotation replaced with siblings kept, entries on one resource adding up, the launcher untouched, the worker container by name else the first, and byte-for-byte pass-through for an empty list and a non-TrainingRuntime. Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * docs(adr-101): correct how Multus matches networks to resources; record the gaps Review on #510 (kaynetu): the ADR and the API comments said the n-th network is wired to a device of the n-th requested resource. Multus does not pair by position: each NetworkAttachmentDefinition names its resource in k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName, Multus takes the device allocated for that resource, and resources.limits keeps no order. What has to hold is that every attached network's resource is requested often enough. Restate that in the ADR context, the NetworkAttachment and field doc comments, the API and CLI references and the flag help, and say that an entry's resourceName must be the resource its NAD declares. Order still decides which network becomes net1..netN, which is why the name token hashes in list order; the rationale now says so. The ADR also gains: - "derive the resources from the NADs" as a considered alternative, rejected for now for the NAD RBAC, the Multus CRD dependency and offline render, with a compatible follow-up noted; - "gate every platform's NIC fragment" as a rejected alternative; - decision 3 scoped to OCI, the merged-options check, the nic name token and WorkloadRun override precedence, matching the code; - known gaps under Consequences: a wrong resourceName is not caught, transport fallback to NET/Socket can still pass, and a resource no node advertises leaves the pods Pending until the timeout. Signed-off-by: Anpoo Sivanadi <sivanadi08@gmail.com> * fix(platform): add networkAttachments to a platform-rendered resource request applyNetworkAttachmentsToJob wrote each resource's attachment count over the worker's limits and requests, so on a platform that already renders the same resource (nvidia.com/mlnxnics: 8 on TogetherAI or Azure) one entry on it shrank the request to 1. ADR-101 says the list adds to that request. The count is now added to the quantity already rendered: the limit when set, else the request, written to both so they stay equal. A quantity that cannot be parsed fails the call and leaves the dependency as it was. Where nothing was rendered for the resource, as on OCI with a list (the default mlnxnics fragment is gated off) or with mlnxPerNode: 0, the entries' count is the whole request, as before. The one helper serves the Certification transform stage and both WorkloadRun paths. New pkg/platform goldens cover 8 plus one entry (9), the same resource twice on top of 8 (10), a limit-only request and no platform request (1); a unit test covers the quantity forms; render goldens pin TogetherAI H100 (9) and OCI L40S (1) on nvidia.com/mlnxnics.

Ordering: a WorkloadRun's platform overrides are not applied when the Workflow spec is built. They travel in spec.overrides and the Workflow controller applies them later, replacing scalars, so Azure's nvidia.com/mlnxnics: 8 replaced 8 plus one networkAttachments entry and the run asked for 8. The new platform.ApplyNetworkAttachmentsToOverrides raises every platform override patch that already requests one of the listed resources by the same count, and writes the networks annotation into any patch that sets one. It runs after BuildOverrides in both the controller and BuildWorkflowSpec, together with the runtime write that moves there too. Azure H100 plus one mlnxnics entry now requests 9 on workloadrun render, the WorkloadRun controller and certification render. The user's spec.overrides are appended untouched and still win. Tests: - render-network-attachments (azure, togetherai), workloadrun-network-attachments/azure-h100-same-resource-adds and certification-render-network-attachments/azure-h100-same-resource-adds pin the 9, plus TestApplyNetworkAttachmentsToOverrides. - read-workloadrun error cases: upper-case network, a kubernetes.io/ resource, 17 entries, an empty list, and a list with nicResourceName. - reconcile/certification-network-attachments-merged-hostpath: a category list merged with a spec-level rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPath fails the whole Certification with WorkflowValidationFailed and creates no Workflow. - TestNewRunCommandValidation: --cert-file with --network-attachments, --multus-networks, --extended-resources, and the pair. - certification-render-network-attachments/onprem-b300-skips-nic-detection and TestApplyWRNICDetection pin the NIC-detection skip for an explicit list. The WorkloadRun dry-run gate moves into applyWRNICDetection. ADR-104 Decision 3 now says a conflict fails the whole Certification, and Decision 6 describes the override handling. The #TBD placeholders are gone.

Both paths now go through workerContainer, which also returns nil for an empty list. Reword the "compute every sum before writing any" comments: the annotation or the resources maps may already be touched on error, and what keeps the dependency intact is that the caller returns before re-marshalling.

Summary
Motivation
On OCI, every catalog entry that requests RDMA NICs attaches its worker pods to a hard-coded
NetworkAttachmentDefinition,
network-operator/sriov-net, one attachment per NIC(
_lib/deps/oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml). That name fits one cluster layout: a NVIDIA NetworkOperator install using the SR-IOV CNI, with the NAD rendered into the
network-operatornamespace. NVCRE works there today.
It doesn't fit other layouts:
nvidia-network-operator, notnetwork-operator, so its NADs never match the hard-codedreference. The same goes for any cluster whose platform or admin named the network differently.
switchdev mode and the representor naming breaks the SR-IOV CNI. A platform built that way
provides a
host-deviceNAD instead (empty IPAM, since OCI assigns addresses by IPv6 SLAAC),for example
nvidia-network-operator/rdma-net. We hit this while developing such a setup.On those clusters the pods are allocated their
nvidia.com/mlnxnicsVFs but fail to attachnet1..netN, and nothing in NVCRE says why. The only workaround is to create a
network-operator/sriov-netNAD by hand that duplicates the platform's own network.The usual Kubernetes split is that the platform owns the secondary network and the workload
refers to it. NVCRE should find the platform's network rather than assume its name.
Proposal
ADR-103 builds on ADR-104 (
networkAttachments, #510), which lets an operator name the networksexplicitly and, on OCI, replaces the hard-coded wiring. This ADR fixes the default for
Certifications that set no list.
Detection is gated on the render, not on its inputs. The controller builds the Workflow once with
a placeholder network name and applies overlays. Only if the placeholder survives, meaning the
category really attaches the OCI RDMA network, does it detect the NAD and build again with the
detected name. Every other category, such as
dcgm-level4on any OCI GPU, or nemotron on OCIH100, lists nothing and is unchanged.
Detection lists NetworkAttachmentDefinitions and keeps those annotated
k8s.v1.cni.cncf.io/resourceName: nvidia.com/mlnxnics, the annotation Multus already needs tohand each attachment its allocated VF. The candidates are the matches in the workload namespace
(the Certification's) if there are any, otherwise all matches:
spec.configapart fromname): pick the first sorted<ns>/<name>and emit a Normal event
CertificationFailedwithSecondaryNetworkDetectionFailedbefore any workload is created, plus a Warning event. The message names
networkAttachments(and, for zero,
rdmaDeviceAccess: hostPathandmlnxPerNode: 0) as ways forward.Forbiddenor the NAD API not served: terminal. Any other list error requeues.The catalog has no default: every caller sets the name, and
Buildfails if it is missing.Offline
nvcrectl certification rendersetsnetwork-operator/sriov-netexplicitly, and says soon stderr when the output attaches it.
--dry-runruns the controller's resolution, except that it only warns onForbidden, since it lists with the user's kubeconfig. The manager gainsget/listonnetwork-attachment-definitions, read uncached, with no watch. MultusnamespaceIsolationisdocumented, not solved. No API change beyond ADR-104's.
Clusters whose RDMA network has another name or namespace attach it with no manual step. A
network-operator/sriov-netNAD rendered by the Network Operator carries theresourceNameannotation and is detected like any other. Two setups that work today will fail closed, each with
a message saying how to fix it: a NAD written by hand without the annotation, and a hand-made copy
from the #542 workaround that differs from the platform's own NAD.
Builds on #510 (merged)
#510 merged as ADR-104, and this branch now includes it. The implementation builds on ADR-104's
versions of
oci-mlnxnics-comm.yaml,catalog.go,loader.go,certification.goandplatform-detection.md. This PR only adds the ADR.Follow-up considered and deferred
NVCRE creates its own NAD (host-device, empty IPAM,
resourceNameannotation) in the workloadnamespace when none matches. It would sidestep
namespaceIsolation, but needs create/delete RBACand lifecycle handling, and copies platform CNI details (including the switchdev/sriov issue) into
NVCRE. Review decision: not now. Detection plus
networkAttachments(ADR-104) covers the knownlayouts; revisit if a cluster turns up with no NAD for
nvidia.com/mlnxnicsand no way to add one.Related Issue
