Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added the InitramfsModule Kubernetes resource to configure out-of-tree kernel modules for initramfs images.
    • Select target nodes and required modules, and specify the container image, firmware paths, and optional module omissions.
    • Configure optional module builds and signing, image pull secrets, and rollback behavior.
    • View per-node progress and status, including kernel version and failure details.
    • Added the resource schema and deployment bundle support.

Walkthrough

The changes add the InitramfsModule v1beta1 API and CRD, register the resource for Kustomize and bundle publication, and add a Go imports cache mount to the Skipper configuration.

Changes

InitramfsModule API

Layer / File(s) Summary
API types and generated support
api/v1beta1/initramfsmodule_types.go, api/v1beta1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go
Defines the InitramfsModule specification, node and aggregate status types, root and list resources, scheme registration, and generated deep-copy methods.
CRD schema and registration
config/crd-hub/bases/kmm.sigs.x-k8s.io_initramfsmodules.yaml, config/crd/bases/kmm.sigs.x-k8s.io_initramfsmodules.yaml, config/crd/kustomization.yaml
Adds the namespaced v1beta1 CRD schema, including specification constraints and per-node status, and adds the CRD to Kustomize resources.
Bundle CRD publication
bundle/manifests/kmm.sigs.x-k8s.io_initramfsmodules.yaml, bundle/manifests/kernel-module-management.clusterserviceversion.yaml, bundle-hub/manifests/kernel-module-management-hub.clusterserviceversion.yaml
Adds the CRD to the bundle and lists it as an owned CRD. The CSV creation timestamps are updated.

Development tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Go imports cache mount
skipper.yaml
Adds a host-to-container mount for the Go imports cache.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to db72d

This PR publishes a new InitramfsModule API whose schema still accepts incomplete objects: a missing spec, an empty container image, or signing without an unsigned image source. It is safer to tighten these validations and regenerate the CRDs and bundle before release, because tightening a published schema later can break stored resources.

In `@docs/enhancements/0006-initramfs-oot-modules.md`:
- Line 89: Align the deselection behavior described throughout the document with
FR-20: update the goal, flowchart, acceptance criterion, and risk section so
selector removal leaves the node running the generated initramfs until the user
or administrator reverts it, rather than implying the next reboot automatically
uses the original initramfs.

In `@docs/enhancements/0007-initramfs-oot-modules-design.md`:
- Line 97: Update the inputHash definition in the irm-inspect Job naming scheme
to include every inspection input, including containerImage, dirName, and
modulesPath, preferably using the image content identity rather than only its
tag. Ensure changes to any of these inputs cannot reuse a successful Job with
stale inTreeModules or softLinks.
- Line 97: Update the generated inspect Job name specification to enforce
Kubernetes’ 63-character limit: truncate the identifying components as needed
and retain a hash of the full normalized identity to preserve uniqueness. Revise
the `irm-inspect-<initramfsmodule-name>-<inputHash>` naming rule so it
explicitly produces a length-safe DNS-1123 name.
- Line 138: Revise the termination-result design around moduleNames and
dependency graphs so it does not rely on the 4096-byte kubelet termination
message limit. Store complete results in a bounded, durable API object, or
explicitly define and enforce size limits that guarantee the full JSON remains
below the limit; ensure the reconciler consumes the complete result without
rejecting valid oversized graphs.
- Line 101: Update the pull-secret design around spec.imageRepoSecret to use the
supported PodSpec-level imagePullSecrets configuration rather than assigning
credentials to an individual container such as init or extract. Document the
resulting scope so the credentials apply to both the kmod image and the parse
image before implementing the Job.
- Line 262: The node-label design must avoid embedding namespace and resource
names in the label key, which can exceed the 63-character limit and be ambiguous
when names contain dots. Replace the variable
`kmm.node.kubernetes.io/initramfs.<namespace>.<name>` key with a fixed valid
label key, and encode the identity in its value or use a bounded
collision-resistant identifier while preserving the existing lifecycle behavior.
- Around line 203-205: Update the initramfs rebuild flow to atomically replace
or clean the existing /etc/kmods staging tree before extracting content for the
new specHash. Ensure files removed from the specification cannot remain eligible
for rpm-ostree initramfs --include, and add coverage verifying previously
included content is removed after a rebuild.
- Line 436: Update the InitramfsModule authorization design and reconciliation
flow to require cluster-scoped approval, or enforce an explicit trusted-tenancy
policy covering image ownership and node selectors, before delivering the
privileged MachineConfig service. Ensure schema validation and singleton
admission do not serve as authorization, and document the selected boundary for
InitramfsModule creators.
- Around line 350-357: Define validation for the CR-controlled firmwarePath,
modulesPath, and dirName fields, permitting only the intended image-path format
while rejecting traversal components and shell metacharacters. Ensure the
MachineConfig serialization and root initramfs.sh invocation pass these values
as data using robust shell quoting, without changing unrelated fields or
workflow behavior.
- Around line 259-264: Update the initramfs design to define one exact
host-visible stamp path, including where initramfs.sh writes it and the status
pod’s corresponding container mount path. Ensure both flows consistently use the
same path, replacing the ambiguous /etc/kmods versus /var/opt/kmods arrangement.
- Around line 116-117: Update the dependency inspection and classification flow
to validate each modules.dep path before adding it to inTreeModules or deriving
symlink prefixes. Accept existing regular files and paths resolving through
supported host or kernel symlinks; reject absent, malformed, or otherwise
unsupported paths by recording an inspection error and leaving the MachineConfig
unchanged.
- Around line 146-148: The design must define recovery for terminal inspect
Jobs: after a failed or invalid-status Job reaches backoffLimit, delete it and
create a replacement using a new attempt identity, while applying bounded
reconciler backoff to avoid tight retry loops. Update the Job reconciliation
behavior described around deterministic Job naming, preserving the existing
inputHash and image-build/sign triggers for normal reuse.
- Around line 194-199: Update the rollback flow documentation so a matching
rollback-complete marker, alongside the enable stamp, causes an immediate
successful exit. In the rollback sequence, record that the marker for the
current kernel and specHash is written only after rpm-ostree initramfs --disable
succeeds and before rebooting, ensuring subsequent boots do not repeat the
rollback.
- Around line 74-76: Update the custom MCP design around kmm-initramfs to
require admission validation that rejects nodes matching both kmm-initramfs and
any other custom MachineConfigPool, or define mutually exclusive node selectors
for those pools. Clarify that machineConfigSelector only selects MachineConfigs
and cannot prevent overlapping node membership.

- **FR-18:** Once the generated initramfs is applied, that node stays booted. KMM must not reboot it again solely because it remains selected. [User]
- **FR-19:** When the operator changes the node selector on the custom resource, nodes that are newly targeted must receive the generated initramfs (create and KMM reboot as in FR-11). [User]
- **FR-20:** When the operator removes a node from the selector, KMM must not reboot that node. The node continues running the generated initramfs until the next reboot (by the operator, an admin, or any other cause). KMM must ensure that next reboot uses the original in-tree initramfs. [User]
- **FR-20:** When the operator removes a node from the selector, KMM must not reboot that node. The node continues running the generated initramfs. KMM does not manage that node anymore, and it is up to the user/admin to revert to the original initramfs. [User]

Align deselection reboot semantics.

FR-20 leaves reversion to the user or administrator. The goal, flowchart, acceptance criterion, and risk section state that the next reboot uses the original in-tree initramfs without conditioning that behavior on user/admin reversion. These sections describe the same selector-removal lifecycle, not a different trigger. This can produce conflicting implementation and acceptance-test expectations.

If the persistent FR-20 behavior is intended, update those sections to state that the node remains on the generated initramfs until the user or administrator reverts it. Otherwise, restore the previous FR-20 contract.

The diagram is the control plane to the host unit. Image build is the existing MIC→MBSC→Build path with `InitramfsModule` as owner instead of `Module`. After MIC reports the image exists, the reconciler creates an inspect Job. That Job copies `modules.dep` from the kmod image, parses it, and leaves a JSON answer in Pod status. The reconciler reads that status and writes `inTreeModules` and `softLinks` into the MachineConfig. MCO delivers the systemd unit, `initramfs.sh`, and the pre-udev hook. The unit runs `initramfs.sh`; that script is the only process that runs `podman`, `rpm-ostree`, and `systemctl reboot`. It does not parse `modules.dep`.

**Custom MCP (PoC / infra pattern):** workers already belong to the `worker` pool. Labeling a node `node-role.kubernetes.io/initramfs=""` and creating pool `kmm-initramfs` with `nodeSelector` on that label **moves MCO management** of that node into the custom pool. The node keeps the `worker` role label. `machineConfigSelector` is `{worker, kmm-initramfs}` so the node still receives every worker MachineConfig plus the initramfs unit. Unset CR selector means all nodes with `node-role.kubernetes.io/worker=""`. [Locked: D17] [User]

Reject overlapping custom MachineConfigPool membership.

If a node matches kmm-initramfs and another custom pool, MCO returns cannot proceed with this Node for the node. The node controller then skips it while building each pool’s node list. The initramfs rollout can therefore remain unapplied. machineConfigSelector does not prevent this because it selects MachineConfigs, not nodes.

Require admission validation that rejects an overlapping custom MCP, or make the selectors mutually exclusive.

Suggested fix
-Labeling a node `node-role.kubernetes.io/initramfs=""` and creating pool `kmm-initramfs` with `nodeSelector` on that label moves MCO management of that node into the custom pool.
+Admission must reject `kmm-initramfs` membership when the node also matches any other custom MachineConfigPool. The `kmm-initramfs` node selector must be mutually exclusive with all other custom pool selectors.

The diagram is the control plane to the host unit. Image build is the existing MIC→MBSC→Build path with `InitramfsModule` as owner instead of `Module`.

Include every inspection input in inputHash.

The hash includes the kernel, moduleNames, and omit, but not containerImage, dirName, or modulesPath. A changed image or path can reuse a successful Job and its old inTreeModules and softLinks, while the host pulls different content. Include all inspection inputs, preferably the image content identity, or explicitly invalidate the old Job when any of them changes.

Define the pull-secret scope using a supported Pod API.

Kubernetes image pull secrets are configured on the PodSpec, not on an individual container. Placing spec.imageRepoSecret on extract cannot provide the stated behavior. Moving it to the PodSpec also makes it available to the parse image. Define the supported credential flow before implementing this Job.

1. **In-tree modules for dracut.** Collect transitive dependencies. A dependency is OOT if its path is a regular file in the copy. A dependency is in-tree if the path is reached through a symlink (`host` / `kernel`) or is otherwise not a regular file in the copy. In-tree names go to `inTreeModules` (dracut `add_drivers`). Names that appear in `spec.moduleNames` or `spec.omit` are not added, so a same-name replace does not pull the omitted in-tree copy back in. [Locked: D15] [User]
2. **Symlinks for the pre-udev hook.** For each in-tree dependency path, take the first path component that is a symlink (for example `host` or `kernel`). Emit one link: `path` = `{dirName}/lib/modules/{kernelVersion}/{prefix}`; `target` = `/lib/modules/{kernelVersion}` when the image symlink points at the whole kernel tree (`host` in `kmod_image.md`), or `/lib/modules/{kernelVersion}/kernel` when the prefix is `kernel` (PoC `ln -sfn`). Duplicate prefixes collapse to one link. If there are no in-tree deps, both lists are empty. [User]

Reject absent dependency paths during inspection.

The parser currently classifies every dependency path that is not a regular file as in-tree. The design does not require the path to exist or to resolve through a supported host or kernel symlink. An absent or malformed modules.dep entry can therefore enter inTreeModules and be passed to dracut through add_drivers. Validate each dependency before classification. Reject paths that are neither existing regular files nor valid supported symlink-backed paths, write an inspection error, and leave the MachineConfig unchanged.

Replace the previous staging state before rebuilding.

When specHash changes, the design stages files under /etc/kmods and passes that tree to rpm-ostree initramfs --enable --include. The design does not define removal or replacement of files from the previous staging state. Files removed from a specification can therefore remain eligible for inclusion. Specify atomic replacement or cleanup before extraction. Test removal of previously included content.

**Created vs applied:** a status pod (privileged, hostPath `/var/opt/kmods`, NMC-style) reads the stamp. It patches:

- CR `status.nodes[]`: `initramfsCreated`, `initramfsApplied`, `kernelVersion`
- Node labels: `kmm.node.kubernetes.io/initramfs.<ns>.<name>=""` when the CR is applied on the current kernel (FR-17). Removed on deselect, delete, and during the in-tree window after a kernel upgrade until applied again.

Created means `--enable` succeeded (stamp written). Applied means the node is Ready, `BootID` differs from the BootID recorded at created, and stamp kernel equals `node.Status.NodeInfo.KernelVersion`. If the node reboots before the status pod runs, both become true on the first post-reboot observation (allowed by D13). After a successful rollback, `initramfsApplied` is false and the FR-17 label is removed. [Locked: D13] [Codebase: internal/node/node.go]

Specify one shared host-visible stamp path.

initramfs.sh stages files under /etc/kmods, while the status pod reads the stamp from hostPath /var/opt/kmods. The design does not define where initramfs.sh writes the stamp or the pod’s container mount path. If these paths differ, the status pod cannot read the stamp, and the created/applied status and node label can remain incorrect. Define one exact stamp path and mount it consistently in both flows.

Manager ClusterRole gains: CRUD `initramfsmodules` + status; existing MIC/MBSC/Build; MachineConfig, MachineConfigPool; node label patch; `batch/jobs` create/get/list/watch/delete. Existing `pods` get/list/watch is enough to read `terminated.message`; this feature does not need `pods/log`. The webhook server ClusterRole gains cluster-wide `get`/`list` on `initramfsmodules` for the singleton check (same SA pattern as `cmd/webhook-server` today). No new tenant isolation model.

Authorization Bypass

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-862 — Missing Authorization

Define the authorization boundary for namespace-scoped CR creation.

A user with create access in any namespace can set a cluster-node selector. The reconciler then delivers a root MachineConfig systemd service that pulls and modprobes the selected image. Schema validation and singleton admission do not authorize the selector or image owner. If namespace users are not all trusted as node administrators, this grants kernel-level execution on cluster nodes. Require cluster-scoped approval or enforce trusted tenancy and image/selector policy.

Enforce the conditional signing-image contract.

Sign.UnsignedImage is required when Build is absent. The current API and both CRDs still admit sign without build or sign.unsignedImage. This stores an invalid signing request and can leave the planned signing flow without an unsigned image source.

Add a spec-level CEL validation and regenerate both CRDs.

Require spec in the generated API schema.

The root schema omits spec from required, so an InitramfsModule without spec can pass validation. The nested containerImage and moduleNames requirements apply only when spec exists.

Add the repository-standard required marker, then regenerate both CRDs. Keep omitempty; existing root types use this marker with omitempty.

Reject an empty containerImage.

+kubebuilder:validation:Required checks only that the key is present. The generated CRD has no minLength, so the API server accepts containerImage: "". The node image is derived as <repository>:<partialTag>-<kernelVersion>. With an empty value, that reference becomes -<kernelVersion>, which is invalid. The resulting error appears only at reconcile time, not at admission.

Add MinLength=1 and regenerate the CRDs and the bundle.
