What this PR does

Cozystack's Talos configuration removes the systemd DRBD shutdown guard without a replacement. Add talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled, disabled by default, to release unused Secondary DRBD resources before the satellite stops so their backing devices, including ZFS zvols, can be released during normal shutdown. The hook skips Primary resources and open devices, rechecks each candidate, and aborts further actions on ambiguous status, command failure or timeout. It uses no force, demotion, Kubernetes API calls or additional permissions.

The hook is available only when both Talos and DRBD are enabled. Keep the value in spec.components.linstor.values.talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled on the cozystack.linstor package. The chart embeds the script in its existing cozystack-talos satellite configuration, which Piraeus merges into the generated DaemonSets. No custom satellite image is required. Default renders remain unchanged for Talos, generic Linux and DRBD-less Talos.

This is opt-in because preStop also runs on ordinary satellite restarts. Unused Secondary replicas disconnect until their replacement satellite reattaches them, and Piraeus has one DaemonSet per node without a cluster-wide rollout barrier. Simultaneous restarts can therefore pause I/O. Enable this only with sequential satellite/node maintenance and replication checks between nodes. The README covers the 60-second hook budget, pod versus node shutdown grace periods, rollback behavior and the unsupported forced-reboot/broken-kubelet paths. Related upstream discussion: piraeusdatastore/piraeus-operator#860. The reported outage from unconditional forced demotion in piraeusdatastore/piraeus-operator#860 (comment) is why this hook never demotes a Primary, even when its devices appear closed.

Validation: 22 Helm tests and 20 behavioral Python tests pass. The same 20 tests pass inside the existing Cozystack satellite image. Two of them pin the rendered command form: python3 -c <script> --execute reaches main() with ["--execute"] because CPython sets sys.argv[0] to -c, and a script-name placeholder before --execute is rejected. Failure-path tests cover nonzero status/down exits, bounded stderr, partial timeout diagnostics, and stopping before the next resource. Full default renders match the base commit for all three supported substrate variants. The rendered script survives strategic merging against Piraeus 2.10.2 and 2.11.0 satellite manifests; the base chart fails the new feature's regression tests.

Runtime validation on Talos 1.13.6 used the script from commit b8c86f2e70d029166939ff29eab8a45ac191e34b through per-node satellite configurations: a normal node reboot with drain completed without force or an external reset, and the node returned with its ZFS pool online and DRBD replicas UpToDate. That version is installed on all three nodes of the tested cluster after sequential satellite rollouts and replication checks. The later diagnostic-only update in 527570d8079cba7c91b3c345050cab1b73a290a8 is covered by the local and exact-image tests above but has not been rolled out to that cluster. This does not validate forced reboot, a failed kubelet, or simultaneous satellite restarts. GitHub Actions for this fork require maintainer approval; local checks do not replace that CI.

Pass a script-name placeholder before --execute. When the enabled preStop hook renders this command, Python assigns --execute to sys.argv[0]. main() reads sys.argv[1:], which is then empty. For each eligible resource, the hook follows the dry-run path and does not call drbdsetup down.

On the --execute note from the last review: with python3 -c <code> --execute CPython sets sys.argv[0] to -c, so sys.argv[1:] is ['--execute'] (https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-c); verified in the satellite image itself (Python 3.11.2). A placeholder would give ['hook', '--execute'], which main() rejects, so the hook would do nothing. 357bbe5 adds tests for both cases.

LGTM (independent cozy-review pass).

Opt-in and default-off: the default render is byte-for-byte identical to the merge-base, so upgrade is a no-op for existing Talos clients. The six matrix corners render as expected (enabled -> preStop + grace90; string "false"/int guards fail cleanly; scalar parent surfaces a raw dig error). Tests are non-vacuous: reverting four invariants (Secondary-check, open-device-check, recheck-mismatch guard, bool guard) each turns the suite RED. 22 helm-unittest + 20 python green.

Non-blocking: the new python tests require Python 3.11+ (enterContext), and CI runs make test on a self-hosted runner without setup-python — please confirm the runner has >= 3.11 or switch to with/addCleanup (3.9+). A scalar talos.gracefulShutdown surfaces a raw dig interface-conversion error instead of a legible guard (kindIs "map" first). The quorum/IO-pause hazard on simultaneous node restart is documented and opt-in.

LGTM. With the flag unset the rendered chart is byte-identical to the merge base on all three substrate variants, and when it is set the worst case is a disconnected Secondary replica rather than lost data.

Business context: the Talos satellite configuration deletes Piraeus's drbd-shutdown-guard initContainer, so nothing releases DRBD resources before the node goes down and the backing zvols stay busy.

I rendered the chart at the merge base and at the head and diffed the whole output instead of reading the guard. No difference on talos+drbd (700 lines), talos.enabled=false (654 lines), drbd.enabled=false (700 lines). Positive control: --set talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled=true gives a 160-line diff, so the comparison could have shown a change.

Budget: 4s for the first drbdsetup status plus a 60s deadline for everything after it, against terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 90. Every later command timeout is clamped to what is left (min(4, remaining), min(10, remaining)), so the hook cannot overrun its own deadline and the JVM keeps about 26s to exit. A run cut short by a smaller node-shutdown budget is not worse than no hook at all: what was already downed is released, what was not reached is untouched. What truncation costs is the satellite's own exit time.

A resource is touched only when role is Secondary and every device reports open: false, both in the full listing and in a per-resource re-read that has to come back with exactly that one name. Then drbdsetup down <name>, no flags. The window between the re-read and the call is real. An open device is still safe there because DRBD refuses the state change with SS_DEVICE_IN_USE; a resource promoted but not yet opened is not, and the result is a CSI stage failing on a missing device and retrying.

The Python suite is wired into CI, not only declared: hack/helm-unit-tests.sh runs the package test target for every directory under packages/system, and make unit-tests runs that script. 20 Python tests and 22 helm-unittest tests pass locally. I mutated four invariants to check they bite. Dropping the Secondary check reds test_keeps_primary_even_when_not_open_and_keeps_open_secondary and the Primary sub-case of test_state_change_between_reads_prevents_down; dropping the open-device check reds those plus test_keeps_resource_when_any_volume_is_open; making read_status ignore a nonzero exit reds test_status_error_or_timeout_aborts; replacing the chart guard with a bare talos.enabled reds three helm tests, so the notExists: spec.podTemplate assertions are not vacuous.

On delivery: helm package carries hack/satellite-pre-stop.py, the template inlines it through .Files.Get, and the CRD marks podTemplate with x-kubernetes-preserve-unknown-fields: true, so neither lifecycle nor terminationGracePeriodSeconds is pruned. Three sibling satellite configurations in this chart already merge containers by name, so nothing new is being asked of the Piraeus merge.

Non-blocking:

  1. run_hook calls connect_container_stdout() before main(), and an exception there aborts the pass, so a logging problem means no resource is released at all. A try around the redirect would keep the hook useful when the pid scan comes back ambiguous.
  2. The hook parses the whole drbdsetup status --json and reads only role and devices[].open. The same payload carries connections and peer disk states, so "every peer Connected and UpToDate" is available locally with no API call. Right now the README puts that judgement entirely on the operator, and a local check would narrow the case where downing one Secondary drops a live Primary elsewhere below quorum.
  3. A resource that disappears between the listing and its re-read makes drbdsetup status <name> exit nonzero, which aborts the whole pass and leaves every later resource alone. Safe, but a concurrent LINSTOR delete during shutdown is ordinary enough that treating a vanished resource as nothing to do would be more useful.
  4. The test target writes __pycache__ into hack/ and tests/, and .helmignore only excludes examples. I confirmed with helm package that running the tests before a package build puts .pyc files into the chart tarball. __pycache__/ in .helmignore, or PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 on the recipe, closes it.
  5. A scalar talos.gracefulShutdown: true reaches dig as a bool and fails with interface conversion: interface {} is bool, not map[string]interface {} instead of the guard message. Nothing enables silently, so this one is cosmetic.
  6. On the Python 3.11 point already raised: the satellite image is Debian bookworm with 3.11, so the hook itself is fine inside the container. It is the runner for make unit-tests that is unproven, and a red there would be repo-wide rather than local to this package.

The required checks have not run yet, so this approves the code and not a CI result.

Backport of #4292 to release-1.6.

Cozystack's Talos configuration removes the systemd DRBD shutdown guard
without a replacement. talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled, disabled by default,
releases unused Secondary DRBD resources before the satellite stops so their
backing devices, including ZFS zvols, can be released during normal shutdown.
The hook skips Primary resources and open devices, rechecks each candidate,
and stops on ambiguous status, command failure or timeout. It uses no force,
demotion, Kubernetes API calls or extra permissions.

Three differences from main, all from the same cause: release-1.6 has no
drbd.enabled flag, since the DRBD-less-substrate switch landed after 1.6 was
cut. The hook is therefore gated on talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled alone, the
values block adds only that key, and the case asserting the hook is omitted on
a substrate without DRBD is left out along with the flag it sets. The README
line naming both flags names talos.enabled instead. Nothing else differs.

The automated backport in #4320 stopped at the same values.yaml hunk and
pushed the conflict markers as its only commit, which is why this exists.

Verified on this branch: 11 Helm tests and the 20 behavioural Python tests
pass.

…utdown on Talos (#4401)

This reopens a fork backport from a branch in this repository so its CI
can run. The commit is the one from #4338 by @yankawai, unchanged. On
release-1.6 the pull-request CI pushes the images it builds, and a run
from a fork has no registry credentials, so #4338 stopped at the build
jobs and never reached e2e. The description below is the author's.

## What this PR does

Manual backport of #4292 to `release-1.6`.

The automated backport, #4320, stopped on a conflict in
`packages/system/linstor/values.yaml` and pushed the markers as its only
commit, so it is red on DCO and would ship conflict markers in a values
file if merged.

The conflict is `drbd.enabled`, which does not exist on this line: the
DRBD-less-substrate switch landed on main after 1.6 was cut, and the
cherry-pick pulled its values block in with the hunk it needed.
Everything else in the change applies unchanged, so three differences
follow from that one cause:

- the preStop hook is gated on `talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled` alone
rather than on it and `drbd.enabled`;
- the values block adds `talos.gracefulShutdown` only;
- the case asserting the hook is omitted on a Talos substrate without
DRBD goes with the flag it sets, and the README line that named both
flags names `talos.enabled`.

Verified on this branch: 11 Helm tests and the 20 behavioural Python
tests pass. The file set and line counts match #4292 apart from those
three points.

Feature summary, unchanged from #4292: Cozystack's Talos configuration
removes the systemd DRBD shutdown guard without a replacement.
`talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled`, disabled by default, releases unused
Secondary DRBD resources before the satellite stops so their backing
devices, including ZFS zvols, can be released during normal shutdown.
The hook skips Primary resources and open devices, rechecks each
candidate, and stops on ambiguous status, command failure or timeout. It
never forces, demotes, calls the Kubernetes API or asks for extra
permissions. It is opt-in because preStop also runs on ordinary
satellite restarts, and Piraeus has one DaemonSet per node with no
cluster-wide rollout barrier.

### Screenshots

Not a UI change.

### Downstream repositories

Walked the trigger map against the diff: this touches one system chart,
its hook script and its tests. No downstream repository restates the
linstor chart values.

- [x] No downstream repository is affected by this change

### Release note

```release-note
fix(linstor): add `talos.gracefulShutdown.enabled`, off by default, so a satellite releases unused Secondary DRBD resources before it stops and their backing devices, ZFS zvols included, can be released during a normal Talos shutdown. Enable it only where satellite and node restarts are serialized: the hook also runs on ordinary pod restarts, and Piraeus has one DaemonSet per node.

still open, or were all closed. It never moves the exit code: the gate
answers whether everything labelled landed, and an unlabelled backport
can only add to a branch, never leave a labelled change off it.

DUPLICATE lists each original claimed by two open backport PRs, or by
an open one after another already merged, labelled or not. Both make
the audit exit 1. One of the PRs is redundant, or the open one is the
rest of a split backport; either way someone has to decide before the
cut, and no verdict can say so, since a verdict settles on the first
merged backport or reports the first open one as pending. A closed PR
next to an open one is how a conflicting bot backport gets redone by
hand and is not flagged.

The titles of originals that no listing carries come from one GraphQL
request for the whole run. A failed lookup costs the titles and nothing
else: the URL is derived locally and the exit code is already settled.

--json now emits an object per branch holding candidates, unlabelled
and duplicates arrays, in place of the bare array of verdicts.

On release-1.6 today this lists 13 unlabelled originals, the nine above
among them, and three duplicates that are open right now: the bot's
conflict drafts for #3936, #4254 and #4292 were left open next to their
hand backports, and #4254 and #4292 each also have a fork PR open next
to its reopening from a branch in this repository. #4421 is closed and
shows up only as a closed claim on #4280.

A candidate counted as backported as soon as its backport PR had merged,
or as soon as any one of its commits showed up on the branch by subject
or -x reference. That is exactly the shape of the backport bot's
conflict drafts: they stop at the first commit that does not apply and
drop the rest, so merging one reads as a finished backport. A two-commit
PR with only its first commit on the branch and no backport PR linked
reported clean and exited 0.

Judge delivery per commit. Every commit the PR contributed has to be on
the branch -- reachable, named by an -x reference, or present under its
own subject -- skipping merge commits and commits that change nothing,
which the bot drops as well (merge_commits: skip; an empty cherry-pick
applies nothing). Nothing weaker counts: not an -x reference to the
PR's merge commit, which survives a cherry-pick later amended to drop a
commit, and not matching lines, which an unrelated line of the same
text satisfies. Subjects are matched one to one, so two commits both
called "fix tests" need two branch commits of that name, and a branch
commit whose -x reference names another commit is evidence only through
that reference. A wrong "backported" is the one answer a release gate
must not give, while a false alarm costs a look.

Some commits carried is partial, listing the missing ones, whatever the
linked backport PR says. A merged backport PR settles a PR of one commit
alone, as before; for a PR of several with none of them found it proves
only that something merged, and the candidate is unverified. Both fail
the gate.

Backports squashed by hand would then keep a branch red for good, so a
maintainer who has checked one can attest it on the merged backport PR
with a comment that is "backport-audit: complete" and nothing else.
That lifts partial or unverified to confirmed, which passes; the report
names who and links the comment. It counts only as the whole comment,
so it needs no reading of markdown: any other text -- a sentence
mentioning it, a quote, a code block, an explanation -- and it is not an
attestation. It counts only on a PR that merged, only from an author
GitHub associates with the repository as OWNER, MEMBER or COLLABORATOR,
and never from automation, whether its login ends in [bot] or is a
review or dependency bot gh reports without the suffix. A review bot
quoting the marker, a maintainer writing "do not post backport-audit:
complete yet", or a contributor vouching for their own backport
confirms nothing. The audit never infers it.

A git read a verdict depends on that fails, a merge commit missing from
the local repository for instance, now stops the audit with exit 2
instead of being read as a PR with no commits to check.

Unlabelled originals are never checked commit by commit, so their merged
claims read "backport PR merged" rather than "backported here".

On release-1.6 this reports five partials. #3955 and #3968 are real
gaps: a labeler mapping and a comment fix never reached the branch.
#4254 and #4292 were squashed by hand and their remaining changes are on
the branch; #3936's backport cherry-picked the PR's merge commit. Those
three are what an attestation is for, once someone has checked them.
