Why the changes were made

This PR updates the kubevirt-dm tests to set the annotation "kubevirt-datamover.io/skip-quiesce=true" so that when the kubevirt-dm implements skipQuiesce, we will skip quiesce on the cirros test VMs that don't support it.

How to test the changes made

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Updated KubeVirt data mover backup scenarios to apply the skip-quiesce annotation.
    • Extended volume-policy backup test helpers to support custom backup annotations.
    • Improved backup and restore test reliability with enhanced polling, cleanup, conflict handling, and known-failure detection.
    • Enabled live CBT restore coverage, including stale-sibling and multi-PVC scenarios.
    • Improved payload verification and VM lifecycle handling during full-backup tests.
    • Preserved the configured catalog channel in community setup scenarios.
    • Corrected a comment typo in the backup and restore test suite.

I've modified the tests to only skip quiesce for cirros VMs but not alpine/fedora.

Walkthrough

The backup helper now accepts annotations and applies them to Velero Backup metadata. KubeVirt datamover tests add quiesce control, stronger backup polling and cleanup, live CBT restore coverage, conflict-retried decoy updates, and exclusive PVC payload verification.

Changes

KubeVirt backup and restore tests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Backup annotation propagation
tests/e2e/lib/backup.go, tests/e2e/virt_backup_restore_suite_test.go
The backup helpers accept and forward annotations. Selected scenarios disable quiescing, while other callers pass no annotations.
Backup polling and CBT restore scenarios
tests/e2e/virt_backup_restore_suite_test.go
The datamover flow adds extended polling, controller flake detection, cleanup, and log capture. Stale-sibling and multi-PVC CBT restore tests are enabled, and decoy status updates use conflict-retried object updates.
Exclusive PVC payload verification
tests/e2e/virt_backup_restore_suite_test.go
Payload checks obtain exclusive PVC access before checksumming. The full-backup path restarts the VM afterward, and incremental restore checks skip assertions when halting fails.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e0e47

The PR adds skip-quiesce annotations to KubeVirt datamover backup tests. A failed VM halt can still cause a restart assertion to fail when the VM is already running, creating a bounded test-reliability risk that should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains why the change was made and identifies the affected Cirros test VMs. The required testing section contains only the template comment and provides no commands or verification steps.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff from 5d1969b to HEAD changes backup helper signatures, annotation maps, and helper calls only. It does not add or modify any Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, When, Entry, or DescribeTable title. The current titles in the changed suite use static string literals, and backup or namespace values remain in test bodies.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only backup annotations and corresponding helper arguments. The diff does not add or restructure Ginkgo It blocks, setup, cleanup, waits, or assertions. Existing cluster waits remain bounded, and the changed backup helper call has a diagnostic failure message. All repository callers use the updated signature. The new annotation is applied to CirrOS scenarios, while Alpine and Fedora calls pass nil.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds no new Ginkgo test declarations. The base revision and HEAD contain the same Describe, Context, It, PIt, Entry, and PEntry declarations. The diff only changes backup helper signatures and passes the kubevirt-datamover.io/skip-quiesce annotation to existing test calls; it does not introduce a MicroShift-incompatible API, namespace, or unsupported assumption.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The diff from the repository base adds no Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, When, or table entries. It only adds backup annotations and updates existing call sites. CirrOS calls receive kubevirt-datamover.io/skip-quiesce=true; Alpine and Fedora calls remain unannotated. The pull request introduces no SNO multi-node or HA assumption.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only tests/e2e/lib/backup.go and tests/e2e/virt_backup_restore_suite_test.go. The changes add a Velero Backup annotation and update test call sites. No deployment manifest, operator implementation, controller code, replica setting, affinity, topology spread, node selector, toleration, taint, or PDB change was introduced. The topology-aware scheduling check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff adds no stdout write, logging configuration, or suite entry-point code. It only adds Backup annotations and passes them through calls made inside Ginkgo test cases. The existing log.Printf calls remain in test/helper execution paths and are not introduced in main, init, TestMain, BeforeSuite, AfterSuite, or top-level initializers.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS. The pull-request diff from its merge base only adds backup annotation plumbing and applies kubevirt-datamover.io/skip-quiesce=true to CirrOS backups. It adds no Ginkgo test declarations, IPv4 assumptions, or network address parsing. The existing external CirrOS download is unchanged from the merge base, so it is not introduced by this pull request.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only backup metadata annotations and helper call signatures. The added lines contain no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret-comparison logic. The changed files also add no crypto imports or cryptographic API calls.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only two Go test files. The diff adds a Velero Backup annotation and passes kubevirt-datamover.io/skip-quiesce=true; it does not add or modify a container/Kubernetes security context. No changed line introduces privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation: true, or an unjustified root setting.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

PASS: The PR adds only a fixed kubevirt-datamover.io/skip-quiesce=true annotation to Velero Backup metadata and passes nil or that fixed value at test call sites. The diff introduces no logging statements or log arguments containing passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data. Existing log capture code is unchanged.

## Summary

Improve quiesce behavior in the KubeVirt datamover controller.

The controller must detect guest-agent availability from the VMI status condition by default. It must use \`VMI.Status.Conditions[AgentConnected] == True\` to determine whether quiesce is available.

Users must be able to explicitly override the default behavior.

## Rationale

The controller can make a correct quiesce decision from the VMI status instead of requiring workload-specific test annotations. This reduces configuration for VMs that do not have a connected guest agent, such as Cirros test VMs.

## Affected area

- KubeVirt datamover controller backup and quiesce decision logic.
- Configuration or annotation handling for an explicit user override.

## Required changes

1. Before the controller requests quiesce, inspect \`VMI.Status.Conditions\` for \`AgentConnected == True\`.
2. When \`AgentConnected\` is not true, skip quiesce by default.
3. Provide an explicit user override that can force or disable the default quiesce decision.
4. Document the override behavior and its precedence over automatic detection.
5. Add unit and integration coverage for VMs with and without an agent-connected condition, and for each override mode.

## Acceptance criteria

- A VMI with \`AgentConnected == True\` uses quiesce by default.
- A VMI without \`AgentConnected == True\` skips quiesce by default.
- An explicit user override takes precedence over automatic detection.
- Tests cover automatic detection and user override behavior.
- Documentation describes the default and override behavior.

1634-1635: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the restart tolerant when the halt failed.

EnsureVmHaltedForExclusivePVCAccess returns an error in two different states: StopVm failed (the VM is still running), or StopVm succeeded but the virt-launcher pod never went away. The comment covers only the second state. In the first state the VM is still running, so StartVm calls the start subresource on a running VM, which the KubeVirt API rejects. The hard gomega.Expect then fails the spec, which defeats the intended skip path at Line 1636.

Restart only when the halt succeeded, or log the start error instead of asserting on it when haltErr != nil.

🐛 Proposed fix
-					err = v.StartVm(alpineNamespace, alpineVMName)
-					gomega.Expect(err).ToNot(gomega.HaveOccurred(), "failed to restart VM %s/%s after checksum", alpineNamespace, alpineVMName)
+					// StopVm is always attempted, so restart unconditionally -- but a
+					// failed halt can leave the VM already running, in which case the
+					// start subresource legitimately errors and must not fail the spec.
+					if startErr := v.StartVm(alpineNamespace, alpineVMName); startErr != nil {
+						if haltErr == nil {
+							gomega.Expect(startErr).ToNot(gomega.HaveOccurred(), "failed to restart VM %s/%s after checksum", alpineNamespace, alpineVMName)
+						} else {
+							log.Printf("WARNING: could not restart VM %s/%s after a failed halt: %v", alpineNamespace, alpineVMName, startErr)
+						}
+					}
