[Bugfix] Keep one GPU pool per hardware shape - #785
Conversation
GPU feature discovery runs as a DaemonSet, so a node it has not reached keys by instance shape while its identical neighbours key by GPU product. One physical pool silently becomes two: each half scores against only its own bins, and because pool is a hard boundary in candidate selection, no workload can migrate across the split. Reconcile the keys across the node set after derivation. A shape group whose labelled members agree on one product adopts it for every member; a group carrying several distinct products keeps per-node keys, since merging distinct hardware would target the wrong accelerator.

Add a Build regression test for deprecated shape labels.
The supplied tests validate reconcilePoolKeys with the current label and GPUPoolForNode with the deprecated label. They do not validate the complete snapshot path with beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type.

Without this test, removing the call or bypassing deprecated-label resolution can leave production snapshots split while the supplied tests pass.

Simplify the shape catalog call: GetInstanceTypeShortName returns the input unchanged for unknown shapes and only errors when the catalog fails to load, so the extra empty-string condition never fired for a non-empty shape. Add a Build-level regression test. The pool unit tests call reconcilePoolKeys directly, so dropping the call from Build would leave them green while every score silently halved. The deprecated instance-type label carries the shape, covering that rung end to end. Signed-off-by: yifeliu <31553858+pallasathena92@users.noreply.github.com>

What this PR does
Makes the GPU pool partition consistent across nodes of identical hardware.
Pool keys are still derived per node, but are now reconciled across the whole
node set before anything reads them.
The rule is per shape group:
product for every member, unlabelled ones included
unlabelled node there stays on its shape key rather than being guessed into
one of them
Why we need it
GPUPoolForNodeprefersnvidia.com/gpu.product, falling back to theinstance shape. That label comes from GPU feature discovery, which runs as a
DaemonSet — so a node GFD has not reached keys by shape while its identical
neighbours key by product, and one physical pool silently becomes two.
Observed on a live cluster, from
alfred_fragmentation_reclaimable:All fourteen H100 nodes are
BM.GPU.H100.8; twelve carry the product labeland two do not, so they split 12/2. The three A10 nodes split 2/1.
The damage is not cosmetic. Each half scores against only its own bins, so
TotalFree, slot counts and the FFD repack all shrink to the subset. Andbecause pool is a hard boundary in candidate selection —
instanceInPool,componentPrimaryPool,schedulableBins— no workload can migrate acrossthe split, even between adjacent nodes in the same rack. On that cluster a
fully-capacity 8-GPU H100 node sat in a two-node pool, invisible as a target
to the other twelve; the single-node A10 pool could never produce a candidate
at all, since ranking excludes the instance's own node.
This is the same corruption the existing doc comment rejects
AcceleratorClassfor — "any first-wins tie-break would split one physicalpool across classes and corrupt per-pool scoring" — arriving through the
label-precedence ladder instead.
The asymmetry behind keeping ambiguous groups split: merging distinct
hardware is a correctness failure, because nothing downstream checks GPU
type (placement filters on counts and model reachability), so a merged pool
could propose migrating an H100 workload onto an A10 node. Splitting
identical hardware only costs opportunity. Faced with the choice, split.
How to test
go test ./pkg/alfred/snapshot/... -run TestReconcilePoolKeysTestReconcilePoolKeysHealsPartialGFDreconstructs the cluster above —fourteen
BM.GPU.H100.8nodes, twelve labelled, two bare — and asserts the12/2 split as a precondition before asserting one pool of fourteen after,
so the test documents the bug and fails if the fix is gutted.
Also covered: several distinct products under one shape must not merge (MIG
geometries), GFD everywhere, GFD nowhere, nodes with no shape label, and
GPU-less nodes.
Operators hitting this today can also fix it by completing the GFD rollout —
or by removing GFD entirely, since both uniform states already partition
correctly. Only partial coverage breaks.
