Summary

Fixes #2065.

spec.selector is optional on GPUReset, and an omitted selector resets all GPUs on the node. gpuResetValidator.ValidateUpdate read Selector.UUIDs on both objects without a nil check, so the first update of a GPUReset without a selector (the controller adding its finalizer) panicked in the webhook and was denied. The reset never started.

The validator now reads the UUIDs through a small nil-safe helper, so an omitted selector is compared as an empty UUID list. The immutability check is unchanged: adding UUIDs to a GPUReset created without a selector is still rejected.

Type of Change

  • ✨ New feature
  • 💥 Breaking change
  • 📚 Documentation
  • 🔧 Refactoring

  • Preflight
  • Plugins
  • Documentation/CI
  • New Component
  • Multiple Components

Testing

  • Tests pass locally
  • Manual testing completed
  • No breaking changes (or documented)

Two webhook cases added: an update with the selector omitted is accepted (it panics at janitor_webhook.go:351 on main), and an update that adds UUIDs to an omitted selector is rejected. Ran locally with Go 1.27.2 on macOS arm64: go test -race ./... and go vet ./... in janitor/, golangci-lint run ./pkg/webhook/... (0 issues). make lint-test-all and the e2e suite were not run, and the change was not tried on a cluster.

Checklist

  • Self-review completed
  • Documentation updated (if needed)
  • Ready for review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • GPU reset updates that only add a finalizer are now accepted when no GPU selector is specified.
    • Updates that add a GPU UUID selector where none was previously specified continue to be rejected, preserving selector immutability. Node immutability validation is also unchanged.

spec.selector is optional and an omitted selector resets all GPUs on the
node, but the update webhook read Selector.UUIDs without a nil check. The
first update, which adds the finalizer, panicked and was denied, so the
GPUReset never started.

📝 Walkthrough

GPUReset update validation now handles an omitted selector without dereferencing a nil pointer. Tests cover finalizer updates when the selector remains omitted and rejection when an update adds UUIDs.

Changes: GPUReset selector validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle omitted selectors during updates
janitor/pkg/webhook/v1alpha1/janitor_webhook.go, janitor/pkg/webhook/v1alpha1/janitor_webhook_test.go
ValidateUpdate passes UUIDs extracted from optional selectors to the existing immutability validation. Tests verify an omitted selector remains valid during a finalizer update and that adding UUIDs is rejected.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Suggested reviewers: lalitadithya

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2bd0f

An update can change a GPUReset from targeting all GPUs to targeting only specified PCI-bus IDs without rejection. This is a narrow operational risk; preserve selector-target immutability before relying on updates to retain the original reset scope.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The changes satisfy the coding requirements in issue #2065. ValidateUpdate now passes both optional selectors through selectorUUIDs, which returns nil for an omitted selector. The existing length and UUID comparison therefore treats omission as an empty UUID list and avoids the nil-pointer panic. The new tests accept a finalizer-only update with no selector and reject adding UUIDs after creation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The change is limited to GPUReset update validation and tests for the behavior required by issue #2065. The nil-safe helper and regression tests directly support the issue. No unrelated source, API, or component changes are present in the reviewed diff.
