DO NOT MERGE — verification reproducer for #1672

Contains two commits:

  1. The fix (cherry-picked from OCPBUGS-105240: TNF: wait for etcd-bootstrap member removal before setup #1672): ceohelpers.IsEtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved + gate in waitForEtcdBootstrapCompleted()
  2. 4-minute delay injected before MemberRemove() in removeBootstrap() to force the race window open

Expected behavior

With the fix, the CEO log should show:

  1. EtcdRunningInCluster goes True
  2. Repeated "failed to setup TNF job controllers, will retry: … etcd-bootstrap member has not been removed yet" for ~4 minutes
  3. Member removed after delay
  4. "creating TNF job controllers" → install completes
  5. No pacemaker "found 3 members" anywhere

Usage

cluster-bot build openshift/cluster-etcd-operator#<this-PR>,4.22

Deploy payload on TNF fencing cluster via dev-scripts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cluster bootstrap teardown reliability by allowing additional time for synchronization.
    • TNF setup now waits until the etcd bootstrap member is confirmed removed before proceeding.
    • Added clearer handling when bootstrap-member removal status is unavailable or cannot be retrieved.
    • Prevents setup from continuing prematurely, reducing failures during cluster initialization and teardown.
    • Added retry-friendly behavior when removal is delayed or status checks encounter errors.

The TNF setup gate in waitForEtcdBootstrapCompleted only checked
EtcdRunningInCluster, which the bootstrap teardown controller sets before
removing the etcd-bootstrap member (it is the signal bootkube watches to
proceed with teardown). TNF setup could therefore start pacemaker while
etcd-bootstrap was still a cluster member. The podman-etcd resource agent
requires exactly 2 members and refuses to set the learner_node attribute
when it sees 3, deadlocking the installation.

Gate TNF setup on EtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved in addition, via a new
ceohelpers.IsEtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved helper. If the member is not yet
removed, return an error and let the job controller startup backoff retry.

Walkthrough

The change increases the bootstrap teardown timeout, delays bootstrap member removal by three minutes, and adds an operator-status helper. TNF setup now waits until the etcd bootstrap member removal condition is confirmed.

Changes

Etcd bootstrap removal gating

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bootstrap removal timing
pkg/operator/bootstrapteardown/bootstrap_teardown_controller.go
The sync timeout increases from 1 minute to 10 minutes. Bootstrap member removal waits three minutes before it proceeds.
Removal status gate
pkg/operator/ceohelpers/external_etcd_status.go, pkg/tnf/operator/job_controllers.go
The operator adds a bootstrap-member-removal condition and status helper. TNF setup returns an error and retries while removal is unconfirmed or status retrieval fails.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fda09

The reproducer currently holds the race window for three minutes instead of the stated four and blocks the controller without cancellation while also extending related tests. This is a bounded merge-readiness risk that should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

… fix

Inject a 3-minute sleep between IsBootstrapComplete and MemberRemove()
in removeBootstrap() to force the race window open. Placed after the
bootstrap-complete check so pre-completion syncs return instantly.
Extend sync() context timeout to 10m to accommodate.

With the fix (commit 1), the TNF gate should retry with "etcd-bootstrap
member has not been removed yet" for ~3 minutes, then proceed once the
member is removed. Without the fix, the RA would deadlock with "found 3
members, need 2".

DO NOT MERGE — reproducer for verification only.

18-18: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use the shared condition constant when writing status.

pkg/operator/bootstrapteardown/bootstrap_teardown_controller.go still writes "EtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved" as a literal in setSuccessfulBoostrapRemovalStatus, Line 174. This new exported constant is used by IsEtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved; separate producer and consumer strings can drift and silently break the gate.

Replace the literal with ceohelpers.OperatorConditionEtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved. The producer already imports ceohelpers.

Add coverage for the bootstrap-removal gate.

The current tests mock startTnfJobcontrollersFunc, so they bypass waitForEtcdBootstrapCompleted. Add fixtures for EtcdBootstrapMemberRemoved=True and tests for false and status-read errors. Assert that retryInitialTransitionOrDegrade retries and sets TNFJobControllersDegraded after retries are exhausted.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Gate the four-minute delay instead of sleeping in every path.

The TEST ONLY comment does not change execution. The sleep runs in both complete-bootstrap cases in pkg/operator/bootstrapteardown/bootstrap_teardown_controller_test.go, Lines 274-408, so the unit test suite waits at least eight minutes before MemberRemove(). It also blocks the controller worker and ignores cancellation.

Make the delay injectable or feature-gated. Use no delay in normal tests and builds. Enable four minutes only for the cluster-bot reproducer. Implement the wait with a context-aware timer.

As per path instructions: Go code must use context.Context for cancellation and timeouts.
