Code change:

text: Currently, when the Label Selector in the Pod Affinity is empty, no objects will be match. That means if it's in a required PodAffinity, the Pod will never be schedulable. And if it's in a required PodAntiAffinity, that PodAntiAffinity will be no-op. So, I'm thinking PodAffinity with empty Label Selector is very likely mistake. It'd be good if we could notice it for users. To prevent such a misconfiguration. Probably, we cannot filter out such a Pod creation in the validation for a backward compatibility. /assign /sig scheduling

I'm wondering if it has already discussed somewhere or not. Please just let me know if we have some decisions on it.
I am not sure, where do you propose to put the warning? If the pod is unschedulable, that will show up in the events and pod status.
Do you mean the place to implement this warning? I suspect ↓ is a suitable place:
A warning sounds useful, even if the pod is unschedulable, as it gives you a heads up at the time when you create the Pod. Whereas the Pod scheduling failure might be a bit harder to interpret.
ok, I thought you were referring to something that the scheduler will produce after attempting to schedule the pod. Yeah, if there is already a setup to print warnings on pod creation, it is certainly useful for this case.
Can you please also add it in topology spread?
Sure
