Code change:
After the cluster was updated to enable PD CSI Driver, there was a race condition where AD Controller (kube-controller-manager) started to BEFORE the PD CSI Driver was up, thus AD Controller gave us the error Then AD Controller triggered the disk detach because the disk/volume was not populated in the desired state of world. Unfortunately the disk was in use during this detach and got corrupted. Since cluster upgrades can cause the controller manager and CSI drivers to start at different times, the AD controller needs to be more conservative when detaching We have not been able to reproduce this, it came up from a customer. /sig storage /assign <detailsk8s 1.23, CSI migration enabled </details<detailsGKE </details<details</details<details</details<details</details<details</details

I think there's potentially two changes we should do: 1) for the initial DSW population, we should skip the check that if the csi driver is not installed. 2) in general, we should not skip volumes during dsw initial population if an error is returned. If we had some temporary api server error then that would cause volumes to not get to dsw and similar behavior happen. cc
for a repro, maybe you can try something like: a cluster with csi migration enabled (control plane + nodes) a pod with intree-volume and get it running the csi driver node daemonset. verify the driver is removed from CSINode kube-controller-manager

/cc was trying to repro this, but on GKE with the managed driver which made it complicated.
Yeah maybe gce kube-up would be easier for a repro
If CSINode says that it has migrated GCP PD volume plugin to CSI, then IMO A/D controller should always attach GCP PD volumes to it using CSI, regardless if the CSI driver is present or not. In-tree volume plugin in the kubelet is disabled and can't mount any in-tree volumes anyway. To flip the migration feature gate / upgrade / downgrade kubelet, the cluster admin must drain the node first to make sure everything is detached. A/D controller should not see change of CSINode migration annotations with any volume attached to it.
/priority important-soon
Another option could be to process these volumes anyways but add them to DSOW with migration status as "uncertain", so as they can be re-processed later. But surely it looks like might be easiest unless it has any downsides.
There wasn't a node update in this case---there was a control plane update which restarted the PD CSI driver, and it looks like the CSIDriver resource was updated or changed in some way which raced with the kube-controller-manager restart.
Is there anyway we can know if the csi driver is up and running(like a health check ping) before populating DSW?
We use the CSINode registration to determine that. The discussion here I think is concluding that we should not use that as a criteria for adding the volume to DSW. We only need to check that CSI migration is enabled on the node.
+1 we need to be very resilient against races, I think we have to assume a driver is in process of being installed at any point in the AD controller reconcilliation.

Reproduced with the steps: In /var/log/kube-controller-
Tested with the and doing the reproduce steps above. The error of does not show up anymore. The error message still get logged in the kube-controller- for debugging purpose: Ran Ran On the GCP console, the disk is used by node: Ran I redeploy the pd-csi-driver and then make sure it is up and running. Ran
