Summary

On upgrade, the frr-k8s-statuscleaner Deployment has rollingUpdate fields defaulted by the API server. SSA cannot remove fields it does not own, so switching strategy.type to Recreate fails on upgrade with:

spec.strategy.rollingUpdate: Forbidden: may not be specified when strategy `type` is 'Recreate'

This fix adds a new annotation to run a PatchType "application/strategic-merge-patch+json". With this trick we can remove strategy.rollingUpdate and switch strategy.type to Recreate simultaneously before the actual Apply logic for frr-k8s-statuscleaner deployments on SNO.

Root cause

CNO uses Server-Side Apply (SSA) to apply rendered manifests. SSA tracks field ownership per field manager — it can only remove fields that the field manager previously set and now omits. The original template never included rollingUpdate, so those fields were set by the API server's defaulting mechanism, not by CNO's field manager. When the template switches to type: Recreate and omits rollingUpdate, SSA cannot remove it because it never owned it.

Setting rollingUpdate: null in the manifest does not work either.

Fix

  • Pre-patch annotation: Add a generic networkoperator.openshift.io/pre-patch annotation whose value is applied as a strategic-merge-patch to the live object before SSA. On the SNO template path, this atomically sets type: Recreate and removes rollingUpdate in a single strategic-merge-patch, before SSA takes over. The pre-patch is silently skipped if the object does not exist yet (initial install), making it relevant only on upgrades.
  • Explicit strategy in template: The non-SNO path now explicitly sets strategy.type: RollingUpdate with rollingUpdate fields, so CNO's field manager owns them going forward. This prevents the issue from recurring on future strategy changes.

Evaluation of potential fixes

Verified two approaches for removing defaulted fields not owned by the field manager:

a) SSA with explicit fields to claim ownership

If the desired fields (e.g. rollingUpdate) are explicitly included in an SSA apply, the field manager takes ownership of them (with Force: true). On a subsequent SSA apply that omits those fields, SSA removes them because the field manager now owns them. This works but requires two applies and knowing the current field values — impractical in a generic apply path where objects are unstructured.

kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f deployment-with-rolling-fields.yaml  # claims ownership
kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f deployment-with-recreate.yaml         # SSA removes rollingUpdate

b) Strategic merge patch that explicitly removes the field

A strategic-merge-patch with {"spec":{"strategy":{"type":"Recreate","rollingUpdate":null}}} atomically sets the new strategy type and removes rollingUpdate in one request. The API server processes both changes together, so the resulting object (type: Recreate, no rollingUpdate) passes validation. This approach is also idempotent. This is the approach used in the fix.

# cat patch-short.yaml
---
spec:
  strategy:
    type: Recreate
    rollingUpdate: null
# kubectl patch --patch-file patch-short.yaml deployment client
# kubectl patch --patch-file patch-short.yaml deployment client
deployment.apps/client patched (no change)

Note: removing rollingUpdate alone (without also setting type: Recreate) would not work on upgrade — the API server would re-default rollingUpdate because type is still RollingUpdate.

The issue is also documented in various sources and it's easy to find a description of it just searching for it on the web.

Try server side apply with the fields unmanaged (default by the API server):

# cat deployment.with-recreate.yaml
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: test
  labels:
    app: test
spec:

    type: Recreate
  replicas: 1

      app: test

      labels:
        app: test
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: client
        image: busybox:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        command:
        - sleep
        - "3600"
# kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f deployment.with-recreate.yaml
The Deployment "test" is invalid: spec.strategy.rollingUpdate: Forbidden: may not be specified when strategy `type` is 'Recreate'

Now explicitly set strategy to rolligUpdate to own the fields, followed by a patch to set type: Recreate and drop strategy.rollingUpdate via server side apply:

# cat deployment.with-rolling.yaml

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for applying deployment configuration updates before standard resource updates.
    • Added deployment strategies tailored to single-node and high-availability environments.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved updates for single-node environments by using the Recreate strategy.
    • High-availability deployments now use RollingUpdate with defined surge and availability settings.

Walkthrough

The change adds strategic-merge pre-patching to ApplyObject. The node status cleaner manifest declares a Recreate pre-patch and an unconditional Recreate strategy. The high-availability render test expects RollingUpdate.

Changes

Pre-patch apply flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Strategic merge pre-patch support
pkg/names/names.go, pkg/apply/apply.go
ApplyObject reads PrePatchAnnotation and applies its JSON value as a strategic merge patch before server-side apply. Missing objects are skipped. Other patch errors are returned with context.

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

  • Ignore

❌ Failed checks (5 errors, 2 warnings)

Check name Status Explanation Resolution
Pr Quality ❌ Error The non-trivial 30-line behavioral change has no automated CI lane or platform in its description; it provides only a manual CLI reproducer under “CLI reproducer”. Add a Testing section that names automated CNO CI jobs and platforms. Add a bug/issue link and explicit user-impact plus upgrade/rollback considerations.
Commit Message Quality ❌ Error Commit 1ef4928 claims to add tests, but only changes the deployment template; its body gives no rationale. This violates logical-unit, descriptive-subject, and body requirements. Squash 1ef4928 into the implementation commit, or make it a real test-only commit with a scoped subject and body explaining why the tests are needed.
E2e Tests For Feature Changes ❌ Error The PR changes pkg/apply/apply.go to add pre-patch behavior, but modifies no test/e2e files and its description has no required Testing or How to verify section. Add test/e2e changes and document CI lanes, platform coverage, and results. If E2E is infeasible, justify it under How to verify it and follow the specified override process.
Stale Project Docs And Config ❌ Error ApplyObject now sends a StrategicMergePatch before SSA, but unchanged .coderabbit.yaml says CNO uses Server-Side Apply exclusively. Update .coderabbit.yaml to describe the pre-patch StrategicMergePatch exception, or remove the inaccurate “exclusively” statement.
Title check ❌ Error The title accurately describes the fix, but it is 137 characters and exceeds the 72-character limit. Shorten the title to 72 characters or fewer while retaining the imperative wording and main change.
Go And Test Code Quality ⚠️ Warning The PR adds two log.Printf calls in pkg/apply/apply.go's new pre-patch production path; rule 1 forbids log.* logging. Replace the new log.Printf calls with the project's klog logging API, or remove them if no log is required.
Test Structure And Quality ⚠️ Warning The changed HA strategy assertion in pkg/network/render_test.go has no diagnostic message, so failures do not state the expected RollingUpdate behavior. Add a descriptive Gomega failure message to the changed strategy assertion, such as identifying the frr-k8s status cleaner HA strategy.

Microshift Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR adds no new Ginkgo e2e tests. It only modifies a standard Go unit test and production YAML/Go code, so MicroShift test compatibility is not applicable.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests. Its only changed test is the Go unit test Test_renderFRRStatusCleanerStrategy using t.Run, so SNO compatibility rules do not apply.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR changes only rollout strategy and pre-patch handling. The diff adds no anti-affinity, topology spread, replica count, node selector/affinity, broad toleration, or PDB constraint.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract ✅ Passed The PR changes YAML, apply logic, a constant, and a render test; it adds no OTE entry-point or suite-setup stdout write. Added log.Printf uses Go's stderr logger.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility ✅ Passed The PR adds no Ginkgo e2e tests. It only changes an existing Go unit test and production apply/manifests, so the IPv6/disconnected-network check is not triggered.
No-Weak-Crypto ✅ Passed The PR diff adds Kubernetes strategic-merge patch handling and deployment strategy fields; it introduces no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret comparisons.
Container-Privileges ✅ Passed The diff adds no privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, or allowPrivilegeEscalation setting; existing privileged SCC and hostNetwork entries are unchanged.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs ✅ Passed The PR adds logs for resource identity and pre-patch status only; it does not log the annotation value, patch body, tokens, passwords, or other sensitive data.
Description check ✅ Passed The description clearly explains the upgrade failure, pre-patch fix, template change, and validation approach.

@andreaskaris: Jira Issue OCPBUGS-64582: All pull requests linked via external trackers have merged:

Jira Issue OCPBUGS-64582 has been moved to the MODIFIED state.

Details

In response to this:

Summary

On upgrade, the frr-k8s-statuscleaner Deployment has rollingUpdate fields defaulted by the API server. SSA cannot remove fields it does not own, so switching strategy.type to Recreate fails on upgrade with:

spec.strategy.rollingUpdate: Forbidden: may not be specified when strategy `type` is 'Recreate'

This fix adds a new annotation to run a PatchType "application/strategic-merge-patch+json". With this trick we can remove strategy.rollingUpdate and switch strategy.type to Recreate simultaneously before the actual Apply logic for frr-k8s-statuscleaner deployments on SNO.

Root cause

CNO uses Server-Side Apply (SSA) to apply rendered manifests. SSA tracks field ownership per field manager — it can only remove fields that the field manager previously set and now omits. The original template never included rollingUpdate, so those fields were set by the API server's defaulting mechanism, not by CNO's field manager. When the template switches to type: Recreate and omits rollingUpdate, SSA cannot remove it because it never owned it.

Setting rollingUpdate: null in the manifest does not work either.

Fix

  • Pre-patch annotation: Add a generic networkoperator.openshift.io/pre-patch annotation whose value is applied as a strategic-merge-patch to the live object before SSA. On the SNO template path, this atomically sets type: Recreate and removes rollingUpdate in a single strategic-merge-patch, before SSA takes over. The pre-patch is silently skipped if the object does not exist yet (initial install), making it relevant only on upgrades.
  • Explicit strategy in template: The non-SNO path now explicitly sets strategy.type: RollingUpdate with rollingUpdate fields, so CNO's field manager owns them going forward. This prevents the issue from recurring on future strategy changes.

Evaluation of potential fixes

Verified two approaches for removing defaulted fields not owned by the field manager:

a) SSA with explicit fields to claim ownership

If the desired fields (e.g. rollingUpdate) are explicitly included in an SSA apply, the field manager takes ownership of them (with Force: true). On a subsequent SSA apply that omits those fields, SSA removes them because the field manager now owns them. This works but requires two applies and knowing the current field values — impractical in a generic apply path where objects are unstructured.

kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f deployment-with-rolling-fields.yaml  # claims ownership
kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f deployment-with-recreate.yaml         # SSA removes rollingUpdate

b) Strategic merge patch that explicitly removes the field

A strategic-merge-patch with {"spec":{"strategy":{"type":"Recreate","rollingUpdate":null}}} atomically sets the new strategy type and removes rollingUpdate in one request. The API server processes both changes together, so the resulting object (type: Recreate, no rollingUpdate) passes validation. This approach is also idempotent. This is the approach used in the fix.

# cat patch-short.yaml
---
spec:
 strategy:
   type: Recreate
   rollingUpdate: null
# kubectl patch --patch-file patch-short.yaml deployment client
# kubectl patch --patch-file patch-short.yaml deployment client
deployment.apps/client patched (no change)

Note: removing rollingUpdate alone (without also setting type: Recreate) would not work on upgrade — the API server would re-default rollingUpdate because type is still RollingUpdate.

The issue is also documented in various sources and it's easy to find a description of it just searching for it on the web.

Try server side apply with the fields unmanaged (default by the API server):

# cat deployment.with-recreate.yaml
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
 name: test
 labels:
   app: test
spec:
 strategy:
   type: Recreate
 replicas: 1
 selector:
   matchLabels:
     app: test
 template:
   metadata:
     labels:
       app: test
   spec:
     containers:
     - name: client
       image: busybox:latest
       imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
       command:
       - sleep
       - "3600"
# kubectl apply --server-side --force-conflicts -f deployment.with-recreate.yaml
The Deployment "test" is invalid: spec.strategy.rollingUpdate: Forbidden: may not be specified when strategy `type` is 'Recreate'

Now explicitly set strategy to rolligUpdate to own the fields, followed by a patch to set type: Recreate and drop strategy.rollingUpdate via server side apply:

# cat deployment.with-rolling.yaml
