Discussion:
ci-kubernetes-node-kubelet-serial-containerd: ci-kubernetes-node-kubelet-serial: (This is just an example, most of the tests appear to be failing) /sig node /kind failing-test /milestone v1.23 since test is failing in a release-blocking job /priority critical-urgent /assign /cc I believe this stems from
/triage accepted These failures look weird - I don't understand why dockershim is sometimes failing after restarting the kubelet. I guess we should double check that timings match the old GPU test (I think I might've tightened them a bit, bc they were passing when I ran the device suite on the same nodes). What's weirder is that they passed on my PR and all of a sudden broke after merging
Discussed at today - the easiest solution now that 1.23 has been branched is to punt these tests out of the serial lane so we can get it green again for 1.23, since any changes at this point must be backported and we would prefer that this is not release-blocking.
/milestone clear should address this; we won't get a fresh serial run for another ~6 hours so let's confirm next business day that this is temporarily fixed.
/remove-priority critical-urgent /priority important-longterm
can we keep it in the milestone until we get a verified green run?
CI is green today after skipping DevicePluginProbe tests .

did you have a chance to look at this? I remember you were close to understanding on what is going wrong here
oh welp, missed that
I was (past tense) but now I need to go back and look at my notes. If someone else wants to take over, be my guest, I've been quite busy with other tasks lately. Otherwise I'll get back to this!
So! I'm able to resume working in this area. So I'm testing last k/k master branch tip and running with : and the tests seems to be running and passing quite reliably! (5 times in a row seems like a promising start :) ) To move forward I suggest to: a explicit s in . This will make more evident we have a pending issue in our camp, that's the most egregious exception we have and it's confusing the skip in the config: - this will enable us to do focused work in this area a PR to remove the skip and iterate over it running CI until it's good enough I can take care of all the above. If CI is still failing, we need to explore possible missing/wrong configuration, but then other e2enode tests should be failing, not just this one.
I agree, this plan sounds good. Thank you!

started to fail also locally - we have baremetal lanes in RH - in the project CI they skip the relevant test. Investigating a possible common root cause
after a very long troubleshooting and quite few attempts, is ready for review
