      This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-10323. The following is the description of the original issue:

      Description of problem:

      When a new MachineConfig is applied on an MCP, for the nodes which are drained and rebooted, the VFs are not initialized until the entire pool is updated. The sriov-network-config-daemon waits for the MCP to be ready before draining and creating the VFs.

      Below are the events where an MC was applied on a worker MCP which has 6 nodes:

      New MC getting applied on worker-2:

      Started the sriov-network-config-daemon and the generic-plugin requested node drain:

      Tried to pause MCP, but the pool is still in updating status, it is updating the other nodes:

      I0315 09:00:46.788534    3704 daemon.go:868] pauseMCP():MCP worker is not ready: [{RenderDegraded False 2023-03-14 13:22:58 +0000 UTC  } {NodeDegraded False 2023-03-15 07:14:42 +0000 UTC  } {Degraded False 2023-03-15 07:14:42 +0000 UTC  } {Updated False 2023-03-15 08:46:34 +0000 UTC  } {Updating True 2023-03-15 08:46:34 +0000 UTC  All nodes are updating to rendered-worker-d1a8861c0fa4c9d7be2db1af7125b3ba}], wait...

      The next node is being updated:

      MCP update was succesfull at 09:08:

      I0315 09:08:00.807071       1 node_controller.go:446] Pool worker: node work0.ocp4.shiftvirt.com: Completed update to rendered-worker-d1a8861c0fa4c9d7be2db1af7125b3ba

      It was not able to pause MCP until all nodes are updated and MCP is ready:

      I0315 09:07:46.765462    3704 daemon.go:868] pauseMCP():MCP worker is not ready: [{RenderDegraded False 2023-03-14 13:22:58 +0000 UTC  } {NodeDegraded False 2023-03-15 07:14:42 +0000 UTC  } {Degraded False 2023-03-15 07:14:42 +0000 UTC  } {Updated False 2023-03-15 08:46:34 +0000 UTC  } {Updating True 2023-03-15 08:46:34 +0000 UTC  All nodes are updating to rendered-worker-d1a8861c0fa4c9d7be2db1af7125b3ba}], wait...
      
      I0315 09:08:00.905893    3704 daemon.go:828] pauseMCP(): MCP worker is ready
      I0315 09:08:00.905943    3704 daemon.go:838] pauseMCP(): pause MCP worker

      I0315 09:08:01.052365    3704 daemon.go:518] nodeStateSyncHandler(): drain node
      
      

      And finally setting the VFs:

      I0315 09:08:07.750480    3704 utils.go:417] setSriovNumVfs(): set NumVfs for device 0000:19:00.1 to 5

       

      So this in effect requires downtime of all SR-IOV enabled VirtualMachines for an MCP update.

      The customer who reported the issue is using OpenShift Virtualization where they run SR-IOV based VMs.

       

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.12.1

      How reproducible:

      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Apply a new machineconfig on MCP which contains more than one node that has sriovnetwork.
      2. On the rebooted nodes the VFs are not created until all the nodes are updated where the MCP status change to r 
      3.
      

      Actual results:

      SR-IOV VFs are not created until all the nodes in the pools are updated

      Expected results:

      Able to update an MCP without downtime. As of now, the VMs are live migrated during the update to other nodes, but it cannot schedule it back to the updated node since VFs are not created after the update. So the user has to shutdown the VMs for the nodes to complete the MCP update.
