Summary

Upstreams the OKE RDMA fabric: network-operator with manifest-supplied NicClusterPolicies on both OKE training chains (L40S SR-IOV/RoCE, GB200 IB), the GB200 kernel-module-params wiring, and the nccl-all-reduce-bw-net performance gate with its embedded TrainingRuntime — closing the gb200-oke-training "NET/RDMA intentionally left out until OCI-specific pod RDMA exposure is verified" carve-out.

Motivation / Context

The exposure the carve-out was waiting for exists and is production-validated: a BM.GPU.GB200.4 NVL72 rack (IB east-west over rdma0-3, rdmaSharedDevicePlugin, both NCCL variants passing) and a BM.GPU.L40S.4 RoCE cluster (SR-IOV VFs via device IDs 101a/101e, nv-ipam + multus). This PR ports that configuration from the downstream data repo, de-specialized: hardcoded scheduling taxonomy replaced by the bundler's system-node scheduling injection, downstream-only tolerations and resource aliases dropped.

Independent of #2355 (originally stacked, since de-stacked and re-based on main): the fabric is deliberately present in every gpuStack profile value (orthogonal to driver/plugin ownership), and each PR merges on its own. The one behavioral interaction — the GB200 kernel-module ConfigMap being consumed only under operator-managed — is handled in this PR (see Implementation Notes).

Fixes: #2345
Related: #2344, #1716

Type of Change

  • New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)

Component(s) Affected

  • Recipe engine / data (pkg/recipe)
  • Validator (pkg/validator)
  • Docs/examples (docs/, examples/)

Implementation Notes

  • No ofedDriver anywhere, in any configuration: OCI nodes carry host MOFED in every image (Oracle and BYO alike). The device-plugin corollary (MOFED_ENABLED=false) landed in the profile PR.
  • One resource name across fabrics: both plugins advertise nvidia.com/mlnxnics, so workloads request RDMA uniformly on OKE.
  • deployCR: false + manifest CR: the manifest is the only place the OCI VF selectors / IB ifNames can be expressed; the CR carries the standard post-install Helm hook annotations (deployment-ordering test enforces them).
  • GPUDirect via DMA-BUF, peermem off: on L40S every GPU↔NIC PCIe path is NODE/SYS (peermem inert, measured); on GB200 peermem's chroot modprobe fails against the -64k Grace kernel. GB200 needs NVreg_GrdmaPciTopoCheckOverride=1 (kernel-module-params ConfigMap, already embedded — this PR adds the wiring).
  • Kernel-module config vs driver ownership (reworked per review): driver.kernelModuleConfig is consumed only when a GPU Operator driver DaemonSet runs (gpuStack=operator-managed); under the default image-driver profile it is rendered but inert, and it cannot move into the profile's operator-managed fragment (fragments are family-wide; only this leaf ships the ConfigMap — a family-wide reference would dangle on every other OKE recipe's driver pods). The overlay documents this consumption scope, and the NVreg NCCL preflight now covers OKE (gb200NetPreflightApplies: GB200+NET on EKS and OKE) so a host driver missing the flag fails the -net check closed with remediation naming both routes — the ClusterPolicy ConfigMap when the operator manages the driver, image/modprobe.d when the driver ships in the node image. No silent Socket fallback on either profile.
  • RDMA readiness gate is policy-aware (reworked per review): the deployment gate no longer hardcodes helper.AKSRdmaSharedResourcerdmaFabricResource() renders the recipe's own NicClusterPolicy manifest and derives the advertised resource from the embedded device-plugin config (rdmaSharedDevicePlugin/sriovDevicePlugin, with each plugin's documented default prefix), failing closed on parse failure, zero derivable resources, or multiple distinct ones. TestRDMAFabricResource_RealManifests parses all three shipped manifests and pins the AKS result to the NCCL consumer's constant so they cannot drift.
  • NET gate: supportedNCCLCombinations[variantNET] gains oke/gb200 with testdata/gb200/oke/runtime-net.yaml (NVLS/MNNVL forced off; transport confirmed from the NCCL banner). Constraint >= 40 matches gb200-eks-training.
  • Oracle NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on conflict: documented on the componentRefs and in the rollout notes (two lifecycle managers, one release); runtime detection is tracked as OKE: detect Oracle's NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on before deploying the network-operator component #2522 — a K8s.oke-addons.nvidia-network-operator: absent generation constraint on the fabric leaves, blocked on feat(recipes): gpuStack profile for the OKE family #2355's projection merging (the subtype does not exist on this PR's base).

Testing

make qualify   # green
  • L40S and GB200 bundles render the operator + -post NicClusterPolicy wrapper; ofedDriver absent from both rendered CRs; GB200 bundle carries the kernel-module-params ConfigMap.
  • TestOKEPerformanceGoalsFollowTrainingInferencePattern updated for the NET check on all three gb200 training leaves; TestNCCLCombinationSupported OKE NET row flipped to covered; parity goldens + BOM regenerated (image digest exemptions are now manifest-scoped for ALL entries — a tag reused by another resource cannot ride an existing exemption past the digest check).
  • RDMA gate: TestRDMAFabricResource_RealManifests (all three shipped NCPs), fail-closed cases (missing manifest, multiple distinct resources), and the parser state matrix; NVreg preflight applicability matrix extended with the OKE rows.

Risk Assessment

  • Medium — Touches multiple components or has broader impact

Rollout notes: Additive for existing OKE users without RDMA-capable pools (the NicClusterPolicy DaemonSets simply schedule nowhere without matching NICs). Clusters running Oracle's NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on must disable it before deploying these bundles (#2522 tracks failing closed on that automatically once #2355's add-on projection is available).

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (make test with -race)
  • Linter passes (make lint)
  • I did not skip/disable tests to make CI green
  • I added/updated tests for new functionality
  • I updated docs if user-facing behavior changed
  • Changes follow existing patterns in the codebase
  • Commits are cryptographically signed (git commit -S)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds OKE GB200 InfiniBand and L40S RoCE Network Operator configuration. It adds GB200 OKE NCCL NET runtime validation and updates training recipe expectations. It introduces Docker image caching for KWOK CI with retry, save, load, workflow, documentation, and test support. It also narrows Trainer Deployment detection to the Kubernetes apps API group and updates toleration aliasing tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cfe05

The PR adds OKE RDMA fabric configuration and related validation and CI changes. It is mergeable with owner awareness for two bounded test and CI correctness issues: image digest exemptions should be scoped more narrowly, and cache-budget exhaustion can produce misleading cache diagnostics.

De-stacked: this branch is now based directly on main (old HEAD 4f092f15, new HEAD cfe0560f) — the fabric wiring has no dependency on the gpuStack profile PR (#2355), so it can review and merge independently. Content unchanged; goldens/BOM regenerated on the new base; bundler, recipe, recipes, and performance-validator tests green.

Reviewed the RDMA fabric wiring on top of #2355. Two findings are blocking:

  1. Both new NicClusterPolicy manifests activate validators/deployment/expected_resources.go's verifyRDMAFabricReady gate: recipeDeclaresRDMAFabric matches on the substring nic-cluster-policy (not an AKS-specific marker), and both nic-cluster-policy-oke-gb200.yaml and nic-cluster-policy-oke-l40s.yaml match it. But the gate itself still hardcodes helper.AKSRdmaSharedResource (rdma/hca_shared_devices_a) as the resource it polls for. Neither OKE manifest advertises that resource — GB200 advertises nvidia.com/mlnxnics via rdmaSharedDevicePlugin, L40S the same via sriovDevicePlugin. The deployment-phase gate will therefore poll for a resource that never appears and time out on a correctly configured OKE cluster. This needs a provider/policy-aware expected resource (or an OKE-specific resource constant threaded through the same gate), not a rename of AKSRdmaSharedResource's comment.

  2. driver.kernelModuleConfig.name: nvidia-kernel-module-params (gb200-oke-training.yaml, added unconditionally under the top-level gpu-operator componentRef) is rendered, but no GPU Operator driver DaemonSet consumes it or reloads the image-supplied host driver — this PR's base already inherits driver.enabled: false from values-oke.yaml, and this PR is de-stacked from #2355 (that PR's oci-managed profile corroborates the behavior persists, but isn't the cause here). So this PR cannot apply NVreg_GrdmaPciTopoCheckOverride=1 unless the image/bootstrap already sets it, and GPUDirect RDMA over the new IB fabric can silently fall back to Socket rather than DMA-BUF. There's also no OKE-side preflight for this — the existing fail-fast check for a missing NVreg_GrdmaPciTopoCheckOverride is EKS-only. Either gate this wiring to a driver-enabled configuration and provide a real mechanism for the image-driver case, or extend the preflight to cover OKE and fail closed with remediation.

Two more are worth addressing before or shortly after merge:

  1. The incompatibility with Oracle's opt-in NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on is noted in both overlays' componentRef comments and in the PR's rollout notes, but it's absent from product documentation and from runtime validation — nothing in this PR (or #2355) checks whether that add-on is enabled before deploying this component. It's the same ownership-conflict pattern #2355 just built a projection/gate for, though a duplicate operator/controller here is a broader failure mode than duplicate device advertising. Worth the same detection treatment, or at least a documented, tracked follow-up.

  2. docs/user/validation.md still documents "GB200/OKE recipes enable -nvls only: OKE NET/RDMA stays out of the support matrix until the OCI testbed proves a non-Socket NCCL transport end to end" (around line 81), and its check-applicability table (~line 54) still lists nccl-all-reduce-bw-net as EKS-only for GB200. This PR doesn't touch that file, so both sections now contradict the shipped code once -net is enabled for gb200-oke-training.

Also blocking, mechanically:

  • make qualify's yamllint step fails on both new values files: values-oke-gb200.yaml:23 and values-oke-l40s.yaml:32 (comment not indented like content) — flagged inline.
  • None of the four new component files (nic-cluster-policy-oke-gb200.yaml, nic-cluster-policy-oke-l40s.yaml, values-oke-gb200.yaml, values-oke-l40s.yaml) carry the repository's Apache license header that every sibling file (e.g. nic-cluster-policy-aks.yaml) has — addlicense -check will fail on all four.
  • Head 6dfb98a is a merge commit onto main rather than a rebase, and the PR is currently reported behind main. Per the repo's branch-hygiene rule this needs a rebase, not a merge commit, before it can land.

Requesting changes on the two RDMA/kernel-param blockers plus the mechanical lint/license/rebase items; the add-on conflict detection and stale doc can go in the same pass or as tracked follow-ups.

All review items addressed. The branch was rewritten twice today (draft): 6dfb98a71ad3fa (rebase flattening the merge commit onto main, license headers, yamllint, validation.md brought in line with the shipped -net/-nvls state, goldens/BOM regenerated) and 71ad3fa985f5d3 (the two design blockers).

Per finding:

  1. RDMA gate resource mismatch — the gate now derives the polled resource from the recipe's own NicClusterPolicy manifest at validate-time (rdmaFabricResource()), fail-closed on any derivation ambiguity; the AKS parse is test-pinned to helper.AKSRdmaSharedResource. Details on the inline threads.
  2. kernelModuleConfig under the image-driver profile — the NVreg preflight now covers GB200/OKE and fails closed with dual-route remediation; the overlay documents the consumption scope and why the value cannot move into the profile fragment (family-wide fragments vs a leaf-only ConfigMap). Everything lands in this PR — no feat(recipes): gpuStack profile for the OKE family #2355 change needed.
  3. NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on conflict — filed as OKE: detect Oracle's NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on before deploying the network-operator component #2522: once feat(recipes): gpuStack profile for the OKE family #2355's --oke-addons projection merges, the fabric leaves gain a K8s.oke-addons.nvidia-network-operator: absent generation constraint (same fail-closed pattern). Blocked on feat(recipes): gpuStack profile for the OKE family #2355, so tracked rather than done here.
  4. validation.md — updated in this PR (both the applicability table and the OKE support-matrix paragraph).

Full matrix green locally (validators, recipe, bundler, recipes, client), make lint clean, golangci zero issues on changed packages.

Thanks for addressing the review findings. The current code changes are substantively approvable, and tracking the NvidiaNetworkOperator conflict in #2522 is an acceptable non-blocking follow-up.

Before approval, please rebase onto current main and let the required checks rerun. Please also update the PR description: it still says this PR is stacked on #2355 even though the branch was de-stacked, and it should reflect the final RDMA-resource derivation, the OKE NVreg preflight with both remediation routes, and the #2522 disposition.

Once the rebased diff is unchanged in substance, the description is current, and the required checks are green, this is ready for approval.

Rebased onto current main per the review ask (merge gate; this also flattened an "Update branch" merge commit that had landed on the branch) — old HEAD 51a6c1db, new HEAD 5a81d978. Clean replay, no conflicts, goldens/BOM show zero drift, recipes/validators matrix green locally. Content unchanged. PR description updated to reflect the de-stacked status, the manifest-derived RDMA gate resource, the OKE NVreg preflight, and the #2522 disposition.

Multi-persona review + adversarial meta-review

Method: 4 parallel persona reviewers (Correctness · Domain/Recipe-Architecture · Validator/K8s-Operability · Test-coverage/Supply-chain), then an adversarial senior meta-review that re-derived every finding from the resolved code at 5a81d978.

Legend: 🔴 Blocker · 🟠 Major · 🟡 Minor · 🔵 Nitpick

Prior reviewers (not duplicated): @yuanchen8911 requested changes on an earlier SHA (2 RDMA/kernel blockers + lint/license/rebase) — all addressed in 985f5d3c; @mchmarny approved the older a7d1d23 (noting the branch was behind base); CodeRabbit informational. The Major below is a deeper, still-open facet of @yuanchen8911's blocker #1: the hardcoded AKSRdmaSharedResource mismatch was fixed by the new rdmaFabricResource derivation, but the cohort-label half of that same gate was not surfaced.

Overall assessment

A careful, well-reasoned port that faithfully mirrors the AKS sibling. The heavy lifting — deriving the advertised resource from the manifest (replacing the hardcoded constant), the OKE NET preflight, fail-closed derivation, exemption path-scoping, BOM/golden regen, and the validation.md update — is correct and independently verified. One Major warrants verification before merge; everything else is Minor/Nitpick.

Confirmed non-issues (examined, not defects)

  • Preflight correctly reaches OKEfabric==fabricEFA default → templatePath resolves testdata/gb200/oke/runtime-net.yaml; grep exit-code direction is fail-closed; /proc/driver/nvidia/params strips the NVreg_ prefix (matching GrdmaPciTopoCheckOverride: 1 is correct).
  • rdmaFabricResource fails closed on 0 / >1 / parse errors; nil DataProvider is the documented embedded-catalog fallback; watch loop, errgroup fan-out, and cleanup-on-background-context are all correct.
  • kernel-module-params wiring is sound — the ConfigMap renders inert under oci-managed and is consumed under operator-managed; preManifestFiles is the right hook; keeping it in the leaf is correct.
  • Shared nvidia.com/mlnxnics across both plugins is intentional and collision-free (mutually exclusive recipes).
  • Missing nodeAffinity on OKE device-plugin DaemonSets — benign placement noise (plugins no-op on non-matching nodes). Oracle NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on conflict — doc-only + #2522 tracked, acceptable.
  • Supply-chain/tests: exemption path-scoping genuinely prevents tag-reuse ride-through; BOM 100→104 (+4 L40S images, GB200 reuses the shared image); goldens changed for exactly the 2 OKE leaves; the validation.md sections @yuanchen8911 flagged are both updated.

Pre-existing observations (reused preflight code, not changed by this PR — hence in this summary, not inline)

validators/performance/nccl_preflight_nvreg.go's pod-lifecycle code is reused unchanged; this PR extends its applicability to OKE, so these are worth noting even though the lines aren't in the diff:

  • 🟡 checkNVregOnNode + waitForPreflightPodPhase have no unit tests. Only the pure parseNVregFromParams and gb200NetPreflightApplies are covered; the PodFailed-vs-infra classification and watch channel-close re-Get are untested. This PR now relies on that fail-closed classification for OKE too. Consider adding fake-clientset tests (the deployment side models this well in expected_resources_rdma_test.go).
  • 🔵 grep exit-2 (driver/params absent) folds into "flag absent" (~L191), so a driver-absent node gets the "set the NVreg flag" remediation. Fails closed; the HostPath (~L163) also sets no Type. Setting Type: HostPathDirectory would surface a driver-absent node as a distinct mount error.
  • 🔵 GenerateName comment (~L57) references a "node hash" the name doesn't include. Cosmetic.

🟠 Major — OKE RDMA readiness gate cohort is empty — nothing labels OKE nodes pci-15b3.present

This call now fires for OKE (recipeDeclaresRDMAFabric is true because the recipe attaches nic-cluster-policy-oke-*.yaml), so verifyRDMAFabricReady runs. Its probe (rdmaFabricProbeCoverage, ~L1303) builds the cohort by keeping only GPU nodes carrying helper.PCIMellanoxPresentLabel (= feature.node.kubernetes.io/pci-15b3.present). That label is produced only by recipes/components/network-operator/manifests/nfd-network-rule.yaml (a NodeFeatureRule matching vendor 15b3 + device 101c/101e), which the AKS overlay attaches (aks.yaml:180-181) but neither OKE overlay does — gb200-oke-training.yaml:90-91 and l40s-oke-training.yaml:71-72 attach only the NicClusterPolicy. Both OKE values set nfd.enabled:false, and stock GPU-Operator NFD won't emit a vendor-keyed network-class label. Result: no OKE node carries the label → len(cohort)==0 → the probe returns ErrCodeNotFound ("no schedulable Mellanox RDMA-capable GPU nodes observed yet") which never clears. The L40S policy even selects device 101a, which the AKS rule's 101c/101e wouldn't match.

Blast radius: The deployment readiness gate hangs until timeout on every OKE GB200 and L40S training deploy. It fails closed (no false pass) — hence Major, not Blocker — but blocks legitimate deploys. The PR's "NCCL passing" evidence does not refute this: NCCL is the performance validator (selects by device ID, label-independent); this is the deployment validator (filters by label). Independent paths.

Fix: Verify on the BM.GPU.GB200.4 / L40S testbed whether nodes actually carry pci-15b3.present=true. If not (in-tree evidence says they won't), attach an OKE-specific NodeFeatureRule (GB200 IB HCAs; L40S VF IDs 101a/101e) to both overlays, or teach the cohort filter an OCI-appropriate label. If the label is genuinely absent, this escalates to a Blocker.

Verified as you asked — the label exists on real OKE nodes, and the premise that nfd-network-rule.yaml is its only producer doesn't hold. Three legs of evidence:

  1. The chart itself deploys the rule. helm template of the pinned network-operator 26.4.1 chart with this PR's exact values (nfd.enabled: false, deployCR: false) still renders the nvidia-nics-rules NodeFeatureRule labeling pci-15b3.present=truedeployNodeFeatureRules is a separate chart value defaulting to true, and the rendered bundle values confirm it (deployNodeFeatureRules: true in the emitted values.yaml). nfd.enabled: false disables only the chart's own NFD deployment; the GPU Operator's NFD (which these recipes deploy) processes NodeFeatureRule CRs regardless of who created them. AKS sets deployNodeFeatureRules: false precisely because it substitutes the targeted manifest rule — the OKE values deliberately do not.
  2. The rule matches by vendor+class, not device ID: vendor In [15b3], class In [0200, 0207] — so the L40S 101a concern doesn't apply; RoCE PFs/VFs are class 0200.
  3. Live cluster: on a production-shaped BM.GPU.GB300 NVL72 OKE cluster running this configuration, all 18 GPU nodes carry feature.node.kubernetes.io/pci-15b3.present=true, produced by exactly that chart-deployed nvidia-nics-rules (ArgoCD tracking-id network-operator:nfd.k8s-sigs.io/NodeFeatureRule:...), and the label-selected RDMA DaemonSets schedule 18/18.

You did surface a real regression vector, though: a future contributor copying AKS's deployNodeFeatureRules: false into the OKE values would starve the gate exactly as you describe. Hardened in 98ca57e — both OKE values files now document the dependency, and a new recipes test (TestOKENetworkOperatorKeepsChartNodeFeatureRule) fails immediately if the flag is ever disabled without a substitute rule manifest.

The substantive refutation holds — base values.yaml:26-28 sets nfd.deployNodeFeatureRules: true, the OKE files override only nfd.enabled, and the deep merge at pkg/recipe/adapter.go:399-415 preserves it, so the chart's own nvidia-nics-rules NodeFeatureRule produces the cohort label. Empty-cohort handling also fails closed at expected_resources.go:1320-1325. No deploy-time defect.

The guard added to lock that in doesn't work, though. recipes/network_operator_nfr_test.go:58 reads values["deployNodeFeatureRules"] at the top level, but the key is nested under nfd: in every network-operator values file. Neither OKE file has a top-level key, so both subtests take the if !present { return } early exit and pass without asserting anything.

That means the exact mistake the docstring describes — copying AKS's deployNodeFeatureRules: false into an OKE values file — would land the key under nfd:, where the test never looks, and still pass. The test also inspects the raw overlay rather than the merged effective values, so it would equally miss the flag being flipped in the shared base.

Fix is one line: read values["nfd"].(map[string]any)["deployNodeFeatureRules"]. Asserting on merged values via recipe.GetComponentValuesWithContext would be better still, since it covers both the base and the overlay.

This is the only thing I have left on the PR — everything else is verified fixed or resolved.

Addressed the review round in 98ca57e (appended): the Major is refuted with rendered-chart + live-cluster evidence (see the inline thread) but its regression vector is now pinned by a recipes test + values comments; the empty-resourceName guard and docstring/comment fixes are in. The pre-existing preflight pod-lifecycle observations (no unit tests; grep exit-2 folding driver-absent into flag-absent) are tracked as #2560 — reused code this PR doesn't touch.

🔁 Re-review — OKE RDMA fabric wiring

Delta re-review at ccba748b following the fix commit "guard the RDMA gate's OKE label supply and reject nameless resources." Every prior finding was re-derived against the resolved code. Approving — the Major and the Minor are resolved; the rest are nitpicks that are addressed, acceptably deferred, or clarified.

Prior-feedback status

# Tier Finding Disposition
1 🟠 Major OKE RDMA gate cohort empty ✔️ Addressed — gate keys on helper.PCIMellanoxPresentLabel (pci-15b3.present); the chart's default-on nvidia-nics-rules NodeFeatureRule supplies it, now pinned by values comments + TestOKENetworkOperatorKeepsChartNodeFeatureRule + production verification (18/18 GB300 nodes). AKS's deployNodeFeatureRules: false + own-manifest exception documented.
2 🟡 Minor Fail-closed docstring drift ✔️ Addressed — docstring rewritten; zero-derivable-resources coverage moved to the parser test.
3 🔵 Nitpick NVreg preflight coupled to fabric == fabricEFA ◐ Addressed-by-doc — coupling retained; comment expanded to explain OKE takes the default fabric env.
4 🔵 Nitpick qualifiedNICResource accepts empty ResourceName ✔️ Addressed — now errors instead of deriving a phantom <prefix>/; parser test row added.
5 🔵 Nitpick rdmaFabricResource no internal timeout ✖️ Not addressed (acceptable) — honors caller ctx via select, in-memory render/parse only.
6 🔵 Nitpick Outer render/parse branches untested ◐ Largely covered — load-fail + distinct-resource + parser cases now driven; only the manifest.Render error branch remains untested.

Verified non-issue

  • BOM 98 → 102 images (network-operator 5 → 9): the only source change between the two commits is YAML comments, so the +4 (multus-cni, cni plugins, sriov-network-device-plugin, nvidia-k8s-ipam — the L40S RoCE secondaryNetwork stack) is a stale-golden regeneration, not a rendering change. Working tree clean; parity + render goldens committed consistently. ✔️

Score: 🔴 0 · 🟠 0 (was 1, resolved) · 🟡 0 (was 1, resolved) · 🔵 1 new nitpick. Nice, tightly-scoped follow-up.

🔵 — NFR guard test is a hardcoded 2-file allowlist

TestOKENetworkOperatorKeepsChartNodeFeatureRule enumerates values-oke-gb200.yaml / values-oke-l40s.yaml as a literal list.

Blast radius: A future OKE fabric leaf that also depends on the chart's nvidia-nics-rules NodeFeatureRule would not be auto-covered by this guard.

Fix: Non-blocking. If more OKE fabric leaves land, consider deriving the file set (e.g. glob values-oke-*.yaml, or the OKE recipes that declare an RDMA fabric) rather than an allowlist. Matches exactly the two leaves this PR ships, so fine as-is.

Upstream the OKE network fabric, closing gb200-oke-training's
'NET/RDMA intentionally left out until OCI-specific pod RDMA exposure is
verified on the testbed' carve-out — the exposure below is validated on a
production BM.GPU.GB200.4 NVL72 rack and a BM.GPU.L40S.4 RoCE cluster.

- network-operator on both OKE training chains, NicClusterPolicy supplied
  by manifest (chart deployCR off). L40S (RoCE): SR-IOV VF device plugin
  advertising nvidia.com/mlnxnics (ConnectX VF device IDs 101a/101e) plus
  nv-ipam and multus. GB200 (IB): rdmaSharedDevicePlugin over the NVL72
  east-west rdma0-3 netdevs, same nvidia.com/mlnxnics resource name; no
  SR-IOV/nv-ipam. Neither deploys ofedDriver: OCI nodes carry host MOFED
  in every image. Present in every gpuStack value (fabric is orthogonal
  to driver/plugin ownership); incompatible with Oracle's opt-in
  NvidiaNetworkOperator add-on.
- GB200 kernel-module-params wiring (NVreg_GrdmaPciTopoCheckOverride=1):
  dma-buf attach over the IB fabric — GPUDirect RDMA without
  nvidia-peermem, whose chroot modprobe fails against the -64k Grace
  kernel.
- nccl-all-reduce-bw-net (>= 40, matching gb200-eks-training) added to
  the gb200-oke training chain; supportedNCCLCombinations[variantNET]
  gains oke/gb200 with the ported testdata/gb200/oke/runtime-net.yaml
  TrainingRuntime (IB via the shared HCAs; NVLS/MNNVL forced off).
- NicClusterPolicy image digest exemptions (repository/image/version
  triplet CRD schema, same as the AKS entries).

Stock-render golden and BOM regenerated.

…eless resources

Follow-ups from the multi-persona review round:

- Pin the RDMA readiness gate's cohort-label supply chain on OKE: the
  chart's own nvidia-nics-rules NodeFeatureRule (deployNodeFeatureRules
  default true) labels vendor-15b3 nodes pci-15b3.present - verified
  rendered from the pinned 26.4.1 chart with the OKE values and live on
  a BM.GPU.GB300 NVL72 cluster (18/18 nodes labeled). Comments in both
  OKE values files plus a recipes test now fail immediately if someone
  copies AKS's deployNodeFeatureRules:false without also attaching a
  targeted rule manifest.
- qualifiedNICResource rejects a config entry without resourceName
  instead of deriving a phantom "<prefix>/" the gate would poll until
  timeout; parser test row added.
- Correct the fail-closed test docstring to the cases the table drives
  (zero-derivable-resources stays covered at the parser level).
- Fix a stale generateName comment in the NVreg preflight.

Rebased onto main with #2439 — old HEAD ccba748b, new HEAD 9c756496; goldens regenerated on top of the new gpu-operator/DRA pins (nothing hand-merged), BOM re-render clean (the only diff vs main remains this PR's four L40S NicClusterPolicy images, network-operator 5→9). recipes/validators/client matrix green locally.

One code ask left here, plus a sequencing note so you only rebase once.

The fix. The nfd guard in recipes/network_operator_nfr_test.go needs a rewrite that also folds in the allowlist point on the thread above, so it's a single pass:

  • Read deployNodeFeatureRules from under nfd:, not at the top level — currently both subtests take the if !present { return } early exit and assert nothing.
  • Assert on merged effective values (recipe.GetComponentValuesWithContext) rather than the raw overlay, so a flip in the shared values.yaml base is caught too.
  • Derive the file set (glob values-oke-*.yaml, or the OKE recipes declaring an RDMA fabric) instead of the literal two-file list, so a future OKE fabric leaf is covered automatically.

Please hold the rebase until #2355 merges. This PR and #2355 both regenerate docs/user/container-images.md, pkg/recipe/testdata/catalog_parity_golden.yaml, and pkg/bundler/testdata/stock_render_golden.yaml, so whichever lands second has to regenerate against the other's result. #2355 is approved and only waiting on its own rebase — if you rebase this one onto today's main now, that work gets thrown away when #2355 goes in.

Cleanest path: land #2355 first, then one push here with the guard fix plus a rebase onto post-#2355 main, regenerating the BOM and both goldens once at the end. main is moving quickly today and the repo requires branches to be up to date, so the rebase is only worth doing immediately before merge.

Everything else on this PR is verified fixed — this is the last item I have.
