Fix reconciliation loop using semantic comparison
This PR resolves a reconciliation loop issue in the bpfman-operator where resources were being
continuously updated even when no meaningful changes were present.
Changes
Controller Logic:
assureResource
function to accept aneedsUpdate
callback parameterk8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/api/equality
resources
YAML Manifest Synchronization:
daemonset.yaml
andmetrics-proxy-daemonset.yaml
to include missing Kubernetes defaultfields
terminationMessagePath
,terminationMessagePolicy
,apiVersion
in fieldRef,updateStrategy
, etc.Problem Solved
Previously, the operator would continuously reconcile resources because:
assureResource
function always performed updates without checking if changes were necessarystate
Testing
The changes maintain backward compatibility while preventing unnecessary resource churn. The operator
now only updates resources when there are actual semantic differences in the specifications.
