The new timer management in RHEL 10 (timer wheel) makes the timer migration obsolete.

This solves two issue in one stroke - no latency for polling workloads and no issues with high resolution timers either.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Applied timer migration settings only on RHEL 9 systems.
    • Prevented the setting from being enabled by default on newer kernel versions, including RHEL 10.
    • Documented the setting’s scope and known timer-related effects.
  • Tests

    • Updated performance profile validation and rendering expectations to reflect RHEL 9-specific behavior across supported profile variants.

Walkthrough

The Tuned profile now scopes kernel.timer_migration=1 to RHEL 9 kernels. Rendered profile fixtures reflect the new plugin section. The performance test expects 1 on RHEL 9 and 0 on other kernel versions.

Changes

Timer migration gating

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile timer migration gating
assets/performanceprofile/tuned/openshift-node-performance
Adds [sysctl.timer-migration] with type=sysctl, an RHEL 9 kernel match, and kernel.timer_migration=1.
Rendered profile fixtures
test/e2e/performanceprofile/testdata/render-expected-output/...
Updates bootstrap and default Tuned outputs to represent the conditional RHEL 9 configuration and its documentation.
Kernel-version validation
test/e2e/performanceprofile/functests/1_performance/performance.go
The performance test expects kernel.timer_migration to be 1 on RHEL 9 and 0 on other detected kernel versions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 14d18

This localized change disables timer migration for RHCOS 10 and updates the corresponding expected outputs; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files. (9 skipped: 9 unsupported.)

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The pull request does not add or change any Ginkgo test title. The parent and pull-request revisions have the same title inventory in performance.go. The only Go change is inside the existing It("[test_id:28466]...") body, where the kernel version selects the expected sysctl value. No changed YAML or asset file defines a test title.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS — The patch changes one existing Ginkgo It block by selecting the expected sysctl value from the worker kernel version. It adds no resource creation, cleanup requirement, wait, or assertion. The existing BeforeEach obtains and validates worker nodes, validateTunedActiveProfile uses a bounded Eventually, and the existing sysctl assertions remain unchanged. No explicit test-structure or quality failure was introduced.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no new Ginkgo e2e test. The only Go diff is inside the existing It("[test_id:28466]...") body and changes the expected kernel.timer_migration value based on the worker kernel version. The remaining changed files are TuneD configuration and expected-output fixtures. Therefore, the MicroShift-specific API and feature checks are not triggered.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS. The pull request adds no Ginkgo tests. The only Go change updates the existing test [test_id:28466]; the It, Context, and Describe declarations are unchanged, and the declaration count remains 55 before and after the change. The modified test iterates over the detected worker nodes and does not require multiple nodes, distinct hosts, HA roles, or failover. The remaining changes are Tuned configuration and expected-output fixtures.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS — the pull request does not add or modify deployment manifests, operator controllers, or pod scheduling constraints. The committed diff changes one TuneD profile, its rendered TuneD expectations, and a kernel-parameter e2e assertion. The profile change only adds a conditional sysctl.timer-migration plugin using uname_regex; it introduces no replicas, affinity, topology spread, node selectors, tolerations, or PDBs. The Go change only selects the expected sysctl value from the worker kernel version.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only TuneD profile data and a sysctl expectation inside the Ginkgo It test body at performance.go:397-422. The added code performs map assignment and kernel-version branching; it adds no stdout write and no process-level setup. The complete Go diff contains no changes to main, init, TestMain, suite hooks, RunSpecs setup, or top-level initializers. Existing logging calls are outside the changed lines and are not introduced by this pull request.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR does not add a new Ginkgo test. It only changes an existing assertion in performance.go to select the sysctl value from the worker kernel version. The added logic contains no IPv4 literals, IP parsing, IPv4-only networking, URL construction, image pulls, or external network calls. The only added URL is a Jira reference in rendered profile content and does not create a connectivity requirement.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes TuneD timer settings, RHEL kernel matching, and related test expectations only. The exact diff adds no MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom cryptography, or secret/token comparisons. The strings.Contains call checks a kernel-version string, not a secret or token.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes a TuneD profile, a Go test, and Tuned custom-resource fixtures. The added configuration only scopes kernel.timer_migration with type=sysctl and uname_regex. No changed file adds privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation, security context, capability, or root-user settings. The change does not introduce a container or pod manifest privilege condition.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The change adds no sensitive-data logging. The committed diff changes TuneD sysctl configuration and test expectations for kernel.timer_migration; it adds no logging calls, credentials, tokens, PII, hostnames, or customer data. The test reads a kernel version and validates fixed values (0 or 1) only.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Compute the expected value per worker node.

The test derives kernel.timer_migration from workerRTNodes[0], then validates every worker with that single value. During a mixed RHEL 9/RHEL 10 rollout, RHEL 9 nodes require 1 and RHEL 10 nodes require 0. Determine the expected value inside the per-node validation loop so each node is checked against its own kernel version.

It would, but.. are you expecting CoreOS 91 any time soon? Btw, kernels might have just ".el9" with no suffix too and your regex would ignore those.

@MarSik - I agree that 91 is unlikely - that's why this was marked as a nit. I don't see how ".el9" is possible as the NTO version 5.0 should only be running on OCP 4.23 or OCP 5.0 and later - right?

Funny, OKD 4.23 is actually using CentOS 10 kernel

https://amd64.origin.releases.ci.openshift.org/releasestream/4.23.0-0.okd-scos-nightly/release/4.23.0-0.okd-scos-nightly-2026-08-22-063941

CentOS Stream CoreOS 10 (stream-coreos)
Package List
    kernel-6.12.0-254.el10

And notice there is still .el10 in the kernel name so the regex should be fine.

@bartwensley Both 4.23 and 5.0 can be installed with the RHEL 9 kernel afaik. And .el9 is possible if you build your own kernel for example or use the kernel directly from RHEL mainline. So this is mainly to not complicate testing.

In response to this:

The new timer management in RHEL 10 (timer wheel) makes the timer migration obsolete.

This solves two issue in one stroke - no latency for polling workloads and no issues with high resolution timers either.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

  • Applied timer migration settings only on RHEL 9 systems.

  • Prevented the setting from being enabled by default on newer kernel versions, including RHEL 10.

  • Documented the setting’s scope and known timer-related effects.

  • Tests

  • Updated performance profile validation and rendering expectations to reflect RHEL 9-specific behavior across supported profile variants.
