Add a String method to CIDR type. In case of a nil value, return the embedded type (*net.IPNet) String method result to avoid a panic. Signed-off-by: Fabio Falzoi <fabio.falzoi@isovalent.com>
In both tunnel and native routing modes. Signed-off-by: Fabio Falzoi <fabio.falzoi@isovalent.com>
When in kvstore mode, the agent does not start the CilumNode k8s watcher for the remote nodes, but only for the local one. To get updates related to the remote nodes, the agent watches the external kvstore. Therefore, to make multi-pool IPAM compatible with kvstore mode, the propagation of the remote nodes pod CIDRs has to go through the kvstore. The commit sets IPv4 and IPv6 primary and secondary pod allocation CIDRs into the local node store from the IPAM multi-pool manager. Therefore, after each update to the CiliumNode allocated CIDRs, the local node store will now trigger the NodeDiscovery to write the updated pod CIDRs into the kvstore. The final effect is that each agent is notified of the remote nodes pod CIDRs through the kvstore and it can therefore update its datapath accordingly, plumbing those CIDRs inside the ipcache map to support the overlay routing mode in multi-pool IPAM. The update is skipped in case the primary pod CIDRs are nil. This may happen at startup, when no pools have been allocated yet. In that case, we leave the default v4/v6 allocation CIDRs set during the agent bootstrap. Signed-off-by: Fabio Falzoi <fabio.falzoi@isovalent.com>
The node discovery is in charge of propagating the local node store updates to the external kvstore. To avoid propagating spurious local node update at startup, the multi pool manager blocks until the first local CiliumNode update is handled. This guarantees that the IPAM related information in the local node are already available when the node discovery is started later in the daemon startup sequence. Since newMultiPoolManager now blocks waiting for the local node to be updated, the related unit test is updated to enqueue an initial CiliumNode upsert event in a separate goroutine.
