Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The DNS operator was changed in OpenShift 4.2.13 to remove a blanket toleration for all taints from the operator's operand. This change was made in order to prevent the operand from being scheduled to a node before the node's networking was ready. Consequence: Adding arbitrary taints to nodes could cause problems related to the DNS operator's operand. For one, adding a NoSchedule taint to nodes could lead to alerts' being raised for operand pods that were already running on the newly tainted nodes. For another, taints could prevent the operand from running on a node. The operand needs to run on every node in order to add the cluster image registry's host name and address to the node host's /etc/hosts file. Without this entry in /etc/hosts, the node's container runtime could fail to pull images from the image registry, breaking upgrades and user workloads. Fix: The toleration for all taints has been restored for the DNS operator's operand. The operand also has a node selector to ensure that it runs only on Linux nodes. Result: The operand runs on, and it updates /etc/hosts on, all Linux node hosts. "Missing CNI default network" events may be observed when the operand starts on a node that is still initializing, but such errors are transient and can be ignored.

Description Miciah Dashiel Butler Masters 2020-06-15 21:18:56 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1813479 +++

Description of problem:
openshift-dns daemonset doesn't include toleration to run on nodes with taints. After a NoSchedule taint is configured for a node, the daemonset stops managing  the pods on that node and 2 things happen:

- alerts are shown in OCP dashboard: Pods of DaemonSet openshift-dns/dns-default are running where they are not supposed to run.

- if the pods are deleted on nodes with taint, they won't be recovered.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OCP 4.2.20

How reproducible:
Whenever taints are applied to nodes.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "oc -n openshift-dns get ds" to check desired nodes for the ds.
2. Apply NoSchedule taint to node
3. "oc -n openshift-dns get ds" to check that desired count has less one node.
4. Observe alerts on OCP dashboard
5. "oc -n openshift-dns get pods -o wide" to verify that pods are still running on tainted node


Actual results:
openshift-dns pods stop being managed by daemonset on nodes with a taint.


Expected results:
openshift-dns should continue to be managed by daemonset and have pods running on every node.

Verified with 4.4.0-0.nightly-2020-07-24-031753 and the issue has been fixed.

The dns pod can be running on nodes with a taint.
