Description Artyom 2021-08-17 08:13:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Changing the memory manager policy via the kubelet config will drop the node to NotReady state. The reason is that the memory manager assumes that you will delete the memory manager state file during the kubelet restart.

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the memory manager policy via the KubeletConfig and set the reserved memory.
2. Wait for the node to be ready.
3.

Actual results:
The node stays in the NonReady state forever with the error under the Kubelet logs

Expected results:
The kubelet should be ready.
