Adds six tests asserting that data disks configured through a machine pool's
diskSetup stanza are actually provisioned, partitioned and mounted.

Why

This repo's e2e-azure-ovn-multidisk-techpreview job installs a cluster with data
disks and runs conformance. It asserts nothing about the disks, if the generated
MachineConfig did nothing, etcd would run on the root filesystem and the job would
still be green. This PR adds tests that verify the provisioned disks on both master and worker nodes under different configurations.

What

Suite. The two existing suites are disruptive and scheduled, so read-only tests
had nowhere to run alongside conformance. For this reason PR adds openshift/machine-config-operator/parallel, parented to openshift/conformance/parallel as suite for the new tests.

Tests. test/extended/disksetup.go, labelled Platform:azure. Each walks the whole chain: partition
exists under its label, holds xfs, is mounted at the expected path, was carved out
of the Azure data disk the MachineConfig targeted, and is not on the root device.

They run only when the full expected layout is present and skip otherwise, so they
stay inert on Azure jobs configured differently or with no disk setup at all.

Dependency

Paired release PR creates that layout and must merge first: openshift/release#85374

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added coverage for Azure machine pool disk configuration, including partitioning, formatting, mounting, device assignment, disk identifiers, size, and storage type.
    • Added checks that disk setup matches the expected provider configuration on master and worker nodes; tests skip clusters without the required disk configuration.
    • Added machine configuration tests to the stable, non-disruptive parallel conformance suite, with a 120-minute timeout.

Explanation

The new test logs an internal node hostname. test/extended/disksetup.go:385 calls logger.Infof("Checking %s on node %s", mountPath, nodeName), and logext.Infof writes to the Ginkgo output. Several new failure messages also include nodeName or node.Name, so failed tests can expose the same identifiers.

Reject LUN values that do not fit in int32.

backingDevice comes from the decoded MachineConfig without a range check. On 64-bit systems, strconv.Atoi accepts values larger than int32; converting such a value can wrap it into an expected LUN, such as 4294967296 becoming 0. This can make the LUN assertion match the wrong device.

Parse with a 32-bit limit before conversion.

Proposed fix
-	lun, err := strconv.Atoi(strings.TrimPrefix(d.backingDevice, azureLunDevicePrefix))
+	lun, err := strconv.ParseInt(strings.TrimPrefix(d.backingDevice, azureLunDevicePrefix), 10, 32)
 	if err != nil {
 		return 0, fmt.Errorf("device %q has a malformed LUN: %w", d.backingDevice, err)
 	}
 	return int32(lun), nil

Propagate the active spec context to the node request.

context.TODO() prevents cancellation when the spec times out or the suite stops. A stalled API request can keep the parallel test running until an external timeout.

Add ctx context.Context to getNodesWithRole and pass it to Nodes().Get. Propagate the spec context from each caller.

As per path instructions: “context.Context for cancellation and timeouts.”

openshift/release ci-operator/step-registry/ipi/conf/azure/multidisk install-config data disks

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The OpenShift CI-operator step registry path ipi/conf/azure/multidisk is associated with infrastructure-provisioned (IPI) Azure configuration [1][2]. The ipi-conf-azure step, often used within CI chains (e.g., ipi-azure-pre), is responsible for generating the Azure-specific sections of the install-config.yaml file based on cluster profiles and optional inputs [1][3][4]. Regarding the specific configuration of additional data disks on Azure, recent developments in the OpenShift installer have introduced support for defining data disks directly within machine pools [5][6]. Key points regarding Azure data disk configuration in OpenShift: 1. New Data Disk Support: OpenShift has introduced a dataDisks field within the machinePool specification for Azure [5][6]. This allows users to add additional managed disks at installation time [5]. 2. Implementation via MachineConfig: While the installer allows defining these disks in the install-config.yaml [7][6], the underlying setup often leverages ignition-based disk provisioning via MachineConfig [6]. This includes capabilities to format, mount, and configure these disks (e.g., for etcd or swap) [7][6][8]. 3. Configuration Structure: The dataDisks configuration typically includes parameters such as: - nameSuffix: A suffix to identify the disk [7][6]. - diskSizeGB: The size of the disk in gigabytes [7][6]. - managedDisk: Storage account type (e.g., PremiumV2_LRS) [7]. - lun: The logical unit number (LUN) for the disk [7][6]. - cachingType: Disk caching configuration (e.g., None) [7]. 4. Feature Gates: The multi-disk functionality is often controlled by specific feature gates (e.g., MultiDiskSetup) and requires appropriate cluster configuration to enable [5][6]. Note: The ipi-conf-azure step registry entry itself primarily focuses on generating the core install-config.yaml structure [4], while the actual declaration of data disks is handled through the machine pool and machine config mechanisms facilitated by the installer [5][6]. Detailed documentation on specific parameters for Azure installation configuration can be found in the official OpenShift documentation for your version [9].

Skip layouts that contain additional disk setups.

When all four expected role/mount keys exist, missing stays empty. A valid Azure layout with an additional distinct setup then reaches this length assertion and fails instead of being skipped. Replace the assertion with a skip for layouts whose size differs from expectedDisks.

Proposed fix
-			o.Expect(configured).To(o.HaveLen(len(expectedDisks)),
-				fmt.Sprintf("The cluster has disk setups beyond the %d these tests describe: %v.", len(expectedDisks), configured))
+			if len(configured) != len(expectedDisks) {
+				e2eskipper.Skipf("Skipping these tests because the cluster has disk setups beyond the %d these tests describe: %v.",
+					len(expectedDisks), configured)
+			}

resolve rootSource to its top-level physical device before comparing it with
partitionParent. Treat rootSource itself as the parent when it is already

util-linux lsblk official man page PKNAME parent device top-level no parent

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the util-linux lsblk command, PKNAME stands for "parent kernel device name" [1][2]. It displays the name of the device that acts as the parent of the current block device in the system&#39;s hierarchy [2][3]. Key behaviors of PKNAME include: 1. Hierarchy Dependency: PKNAME is fundamentally based on the block device tree [4][3]. Because the tree structure is optional and often not generated when a specific device is targeted (e.g., lsblk /dev/sda1), the field may appear empty if the tool cannot resolve a parent context [4][5]. 2. Top-Level Devices: If a device is a top-level device (such as a physical disk like /dev/sda) and has no parent, the PKNAME column will be empty [4][5]. 3. Partitions: For partitions, lsblk is generally designed to associate them with their parent disk. Even when targeting only a partition, recent versions of util-linux include logic to force the identification of the parent device to ensure PKNAME remains populated [4][3]. 4. Complex Devices: For devices with multiple parents (such as certain RAID, Multi-path, or LVM configurations), PKNAME may not be reliably determined or displayed if the device is queried in isolation, as the "correct" parent depends entirely on the specific branch of the hierarchy being examined [5]. In summary, when PKNAME is empty, it typically indicates that either the device is at the top of its hierarchy (no parent) or that the tool lacks sufficient tree context to associate it with a specific parent [4][5].

<title>Getting parent device node from partition device node</title> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/805499/getting-parent-device-node-from-partition-device-node # Getting parent device node from partition device node Tags: linux, udev, block-device - Score: 3 - Views: 242 - Answers: 3 - Answered: yes - Asked by: Melab (4598 rep) - Asked: 2026-04-16 - Site: unix ## Question I have a scenario that is not answered by other questions about getting the parent device from the partition device. Imagine that udev is being used to populate /dev instead of the kernel, and that some wacky rules are dictating how these files are populated. The literal path for a partition block device is /dev/partition while the path for its parent is the literal /dev/parent. All the other questions rely on symlinks in /sys to get the parent block device of a partition block device, but the pathnames in /sys are NOT guaranteed to match the names of the corresponding device nodes in /dev. So, the question is: programmatically, how can one get /dev/parent from /dev/partition? ## Answers ### Answer by Stéphane Chazelas (score: 4) On Linux, with lsblk, you can get the parent kernel name with lsblk -o pkname: $ ls -ld foo brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 6 Apr 17 06:54 foo $ lsblk -no pkname foo sda $ lsblk -no name foo sda6 AFAICT, it&`#39`;s only documented in the output of lsblk -H aka --list-columns: $ lsblk -H | grep -i parent PKNAME <string> internal parent kernel device name With zsh: $ zmodload zsh/stat $ stat -A d +rdev foo && print -r -- /sys/dev/block/$(( d >> 8 )):$(( d & 0xff ))(:P:h:t) sda Where we do it by hand by extracting the major:minor from the rdev field of the stat structure, locate the device in /sys via the /sys/dev/block/major:minor symlink (assuming it&`#39`;s a block device in the first place), then use modifiers in glob qualifiers, to get its real Path, then the head (dirname, so parent) of that path (assuming it is a partition in the first place), then the tail (basename). ### Answer by frostschutz (score: 3) The answer is still to go through sysfs. The names are whatever, you can have a udev rule to create a /dev/jabberwocky if you like. However as long as it&`#39`;s a kernel block device, then it will still have a major:minor number and you can go by that identifier to query the devices identity through sysfs. $ ls -l /dev/jabberwocky brw-rw---- 1 root disk 259, 139 Apr 16 08:34 /dev/jabberwocky $ stat -L /dev/jabberwocky # alternatively […] Device type: 259,139 […] $ find /sys -name 259:139 /sys/dev/block/259:139 $ stat /sys/dev/block/259:139 File: /sys/dev/block/259:139 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/0000:02:00.0/usb1/1-1/1-1:1.0/host6/target6:0:0/6:0:0:0/ block/sdc/sdc42 And so on. It&`#39`;s more complicated when userspace is somehow involved (filesystem in userspace, network block device, and the like). Basically sysfs will provide the info only if the kernel itself knows. ### Answer by Marcus Müller (score: 2) It&`#39`;s literally udev&`#39`;s job to present these things in a way that is useful to userland. So fix your "wacky rules" to actually additionally give you the device you need! If you can&`#39`;t infer that from the major/minors of the block devices set up by udev, there&`#39`;s little chance that the pseudofiles /sys/block/*/dev and /sys/block/*/*p[0–9]/dev contain useful major:minor that allow you to look that up in /dev by going through all block devices and checking their major:minor against that. The only alternative I see is going to /sys/block, and doing something like for devicelink in */device; do printf &`#39`;master device %s: %s\n&`#39`; "${devicelink}" "$(readlink -m "${devicelink}")" done to get a list of master devices, and then explore that to infer a hierarchy. <title>misc-utils/lsblk.c - pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux - Git at Google</title> https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux/+/bcb693de80ca5b7a4e1c3ad4ce69f070568b27f0/misc-utils/lsblk.c | enum { | | COL_NAME = 0, | | COL_KNAME, | | COL_MAJMIN, | | COL_FSTYPE, | | COL_TARGET, | | COL_LABEL, | | COL_UUID, | | COL_PARTLABEL, | | COL_PARTUUID, | | COL_RA, | | COL_RO, | | COL_RM, | | COL_MODEL, | | COL_SERIAL, | | COL_SIZE, | | COL_STATE, | | COL_OWNER, | | COL_GROUP, | | COL_MODE, | | COL_ALIOFF, | | COL_MINIO, | | COL_OPTIO, | | COL_PHYSEC, | | COL_LOGSEC, | | COL_ROTA, | | COL_SCHED, | | COL_RQ_SIZE, | | COL_TYPE, | | COL_DALIGN, | | COL_DGRAN, | | COL_DMAX, | | COL_DZERO, | | COL_WSAME, | | COL_WWN, | | COL_RAND, | | COL_PKNAME, | | COL_HCTL, | | COL_TRANSPORT, | | COL_REV, | | COL_VENDOR, | | }; | ... | [COL_NAME] = { "NAME", 0.25, TT_FL_TREE | TT_FL_NOEXTREMES, N_("device name") }, | ... | [COL_KNAME] = { "KNAME", 0.3, 0, N_("internal kernel device name") }, | | [COL_PKNAME] = { "PKNAME", 0.3, 0, N_("internal parent kernel device name") }, | ... | struct blkdev_cxt { | | struct blkdev_cxt *parent; | | struct tt_line *tt_line; | | struct stat st; | ... | case COL_PKNAME: | | if (cxt->parent) | | tt_line_set_data(ln, col, mk_name(cxt->parent->name)); | | break; | ... | static int set_cxt(struct blkdev_cxt *cxt, | | struct blkdev_cxt *parent, | | struct blkdev_cxt *wholedisk, | | const char *name) | | { | | dev_t devno; | | cxt->parent = parent; | | cxt->name = xstrdup(name); | | cxt->partition = wholedisk != NULL; | | cxt->filename = get_device_path(cxt); | | if (!cxt->filename) { | | warnx(_("%s: failed to get device path"), name); | | return -1; | | } | | devno = sysfs_devname_to_devno(name, wholedisk ? wholedisk->name : NULL); | | if (!devno) { | | warnx(_("%s: unknown device name"), name); | | return -1; | | } | ...

So I run this: ``` $ lsblk -o PATH,PKNAME /dev/mapper/reform_crypt PATH PKNAME /dev/mapper/reform_crypt /dev/mapper/reformvg-swap dm-0 /dev/mapper/reformvg-root dm-0 ``` As you can see the entry for `PKNAME` is empty for `/dev/mapper/reform_crypt`. I found a workaround which gives me the correct `PKNAME`. The solution is to not ask for a specific device but for all entries and then filter by `NAME`: ``` $ sudo lsblk -o PATH,PKNAME PATH PKNAME /dev/mmcblk1 /dev/mmcblk1p1 mmcblk1 /dev/mapper/reform_crypt nvme0n1 /dev/mapper/reformvg-swap dm-0 /dev/mapper/reformvg-root dm-0 /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/mmcblk1boot0 /dev/mmcblk1boot1 ``` As you can see from the output above, suddenly `/dev/mapper/reform_crypt` shows up with its `PKNAME` of `nvme0n1` which is the SSD that this luks device is on. Thus my full workaround for now is to run: lsblk --json -o PATH,PKNAME | jq -r &`#39`;.blockdevices[] | select(.path == "/dev/mapper/reform_crypt") | .pkname&`#39`; I was told that `PKNAME` being empty in my original invocation that directly asked for `/dev/mapper/reform_crypt` could be a bug. Thus, I&`#39`;m reporting it here. This is with util-linux `2.38.1-5+deb12u2` on Debian Bookworm. Thanks! ## Timeline **karelzak** commented on 2025-02-17T12:27:47Z: > lsblk does not read the parents of a device if you define the device as the root of the tree. Instead, you will only get the subtree. I am considering ways to improve this and also read the parent(s). > > The issue is that the parents depend on the context of where you are in the tree. In your case, there is only one parent for the device, but in other cases, it is possible that the device has multiple parents. If you list the complete tree, then the device with multiple parents will be repeated, and the PKNAME will depend on its place in the tree. > ``` > NAME PKNAME > loop2 > ├─test-thin-metadata loop2 > │ └─test-thin-pool dm-0 <<< > │ └─test-thin dm-2 > └─test-thin-data loop2 > └─test-thin-pool dm-1 <<< > └─test-thin dm-2 > ``` > For example, take a look at "test-thin-pool". It has two parents, dm-0 and dm-1. In this case, if you only list "test-thin-pool", the PKNAME will be something that we cannot fill. > > One solution could be to introduce a multi-line cell for PKNAMES and fill it with all the parents. PKNAME will be with the current parent (in the tree) or with only one parent in cases like yours. - karelzak added label "TODO" **josch** commented on 2025-02-17T13:30:37Z: > Oh thank you this makes sense! I did not consider the possibility of multiple parents. This means that even my `lsblk --json -o PATH,PKNAME` workaround can potentially yield wrong results because the path that `jq` queries can have multiple `PKNAME` entries. In this case, it&`#39`;s probably not a problem because there is always only one parent for a luks device (I hope?). Thank you for your explanation. I unfortunately do not see an elegant solution to this problem. **karelzak** commented on 2025-02-17T19:49:59Z: > `lsblk --json -o PATH,PKNAME` is fine (consistent) as it returns a complete tree, but you have to be ready for a situation when any device is more than once in the tree. **aplanas** commented on 2025-12-12T10:13:06Z: > I want to find the physical device from a partition that is from a multipath mapped device: > > ``` > > lsblk -o NAME,KNAME,PKNAME,MAJ:MIN,RM,SIZE,RO,TYPE,MOUNTPOINTS /dev/mapper/0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_hd0 > NAME KNAME PKNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS > 0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_hd0 dm-0 253:0 0 20G 0 mpath > ├─0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_hd0-part1 dm-1 dm-0 253:1 0 951M 0 part /boot/efi >…[truncated]

Do not skip the root-device separation check.

collectNodeDiskState stores rootParent only from lsblk PKNAME output for rootSource. A top-level root device has no parent name, so a valid response can leave rootParent empty. The condition then skips this comparison, even when the data partition uses that same physical device.

Resolve rootSource to its top-level physical device. If resolution fails, return an error instead of treating the missing parent as a successful check. Treat rootSource itself as the parent when it is already a top-level physical device.

storage account is an azure specific thing, do you think we will use expectedDisk into another provider tests as well?

We cannot as there are several azure-specific assertions and parameters (e.g. the lun). However I will refactor to clarify with variable name and function names what is azure specific, so that it could make the code slightly more code readable and possibly extensible in future to add similar tests for other providers.

What do you think adding a custom suite triggered by release PR/job only for multi-disk, with qualifiers filtering something like OCPFeatureGate:MultiDiskSetup?

I thought of using the conformance suite so that we can also assess that the cluster actually works with multi disk configured, not just that the disks are mounted and formatted. The drawback is that the steps run and skip on every azure cluster even those without multi disk. I considered adding a Ginkgo label and a filter to target only clusters with the two feature gates, but this would inject a filter in the entire suite. I'd probably just hold off and skip the test if not applicable, which should not really create much overhead anyway I believe. If you prefer, I can go down the Ginkgo label + feature gate filter approach though.

The Azure multi-disk jobs install a cluster with data disks configured through
the machine pool diskSetup stanza and then run the conformance suite. Nothing
asserts that the disks were actually set up: if the generated MachineConfig
silently did nothing, etcd would keep running on the root filesystem and the
jobs would still report green.

Add a non-disruptive suite parented to openshift/conformance/parallel. The two
existing suites are both disruptive and run on a scheduled basis, so read-only
tests had nowhere to live that runs alongside ordinary conformance. Parenting
there also means the job keeps proving that a cluster with relocated etcd,
container and kubelet storage still passes conformance, not merely that the
disks are mounted.

Add six tests covering the disk layout the multi-disk jobs configure: an etcd
data disk and a user-defined data disk on the control plane, two user-defined
data disks on compute, the rendering of each disk setup into its
MachineConfigPool, and the Azure LUN, storage account type and size of each
disk.

Each test walks the whole chain rather than a single link, checking that the
partition exists under its expected label, that it holds an xfs filesystem
mounted with prjquota at the configured path, and that the partition was carved
out of the Azure data disk the MachineConfig targeted. The root filesystem is
not consulted: on RHCOS it is a composefs overlay with no backing block device,
and the separation from the OS disk is already guaranteed by partitioning a
/dev/disk/azure/scsi1/lun<N> path.

Disk setups are paired with their data disks by LUN. The partition label cannot
be used for this: the installer labels etcd and swap partitions with the disk
setup's type rather than its platformDiskID, and strips every non-alphanumeric
character from the result, so it does not generally equal the data disk's
nameSuffix.

Keep the Azure-specific parts together behind azureExpectedDisk and
assertAzureDataDisk, so that the MachineConfig decoding and node inspection
could serve another platform unchanged.

Disk setup is opt-in and the layout differs between jobs, so the tests run only
when the whole expected layout is present and skip otherwise. The tests are
labelled Platform:azure, which the extension's existing label filter turns into
an environment selector, so they are never scheduled off Azure.
