The chips come out of chipSet, which is a map, so the iteration order is different on every run. Sorting only makes the order stable: the attempt order, the device-share enabled on N of M chip(s) log line and the contents of pendingDeviceShare are then the same run to run, which also makes the unit test assertable. It has no functional effect - each chip is set independently and nothing depends on card/chip ordering.
If the sort reads as noise, the alternative is to drop the map and iterate ps.mgr.GetDevices() directly with a small seen-set for duplicates. That is deterministic too, and I am happy to switch to it.

yes, the second approach you mentioned is more clearer.

Done in 7c85162 — the map and the sort are both gone. enableNodeDeviceShare now walks GetDevices() in order with a seen set for the duplicates, so the order is the manager's and nothing needs sorting.

I think it better to use the low-level interface to check whether the chip is in use.
Author

Agreed in principle - matching exit code 203 plus the Failed to set chip device-share string is the weakest part of this change, and that message can move between driver versions.
Two reasons it is written this way. First, this plugin only talks to the driver through npu-smi today; there is no DCMI or Ascend SDK binding in the repo, so using the low-level interface means introducing that dependency, which felt larger than this fix. Second, a query-then-set is racy: the chip can be taken between the check and the set, so the set's own refusal stays the authoritative signal either way - a low-level query would improve the diagnosis but would not remove the need to interpret the failure.
If there is a specific interface you would like used here, point me at it and I will wire it in.

Done in 7c85162, using the interface you linked. AscendManager.IsDeviceInUse calls GetDevProcessInfo(logicID) and reports ProcNum > 0; the exit-code 203 and Failed to set chip device-share string matching are gone entirely.
Two details worth flagging, since the driver check cannot be the only signal. A workload can start between the check and the set, so after a refused set the process list is read once more before deciding; and if the process list cannot be read at all, the set is attempted anyway and its result decides, rather than assuming the chip is free. chipKey carries the LogicID through as shareTarget so no card/chip to logic-id lookup is needed.

Do not register pending chips as available to HAMi.
watchAndRegister retries pending chips and then calls registerHAMi. While a chip remains busy, registerHAMi includes it with its normal Health and Count values. HAMi’s Ascend Fit path skips only unhealthy or exhausted devices. If capacity remains, it can select the chip for another share while device-share is disabled. The allocation may fail or may not provide soft sharing.
Keep pending chips out of HAMi’s registration until device-share is enabled. Keep them in kubelet’s device list when an existing workload still uses them. Re-register the chip after the retry succeeds.
Use npu-smi info -t device-share -i <card> -c <chip> before queuing a busy chip. Handle drivers that report that device-share queries are unsupported. This prevents a restart from treating an already-enabled busy chip as pending.

Add a timeout to npu-smi now that it runs in the periodic loop.
retryPendingDeviceShare calls runNpuSmi on every tick while a chip is pending. runNpuSmi (internal/server/device_share.go Lines 50-58) uses exec.Command(...).CombinedOutput() with no deadline. If npu-smi hangs, watchAndRegister blocks at Line 69. The loop then stops publishing device updates and stops calling registerHAMi. It also does not see stopCh being closed. The loop bounds the healthCh send for this same reason. Before this change, npu-smi ran only once at startup.

@KR-Ravindra please reslove conflicts and fix "the chips that failed to enable device-share should not be registered" better |
On a hami-vnpu-core node the plugin enables device-share on every chip at startup. The driver refuses to switch a chip that still runs a workload, and enableNodeDeviceShare returned that error, so Start() aborted, kubelet crash-looped the DaemonSet and the node stopped advertising all Ascend resources because of a single busy chip. Drive the chips one at a time instead, in the order the manager reports them. Before setting a chip, ask the driver whether a workload runs on it (Manager.IsDeviceInUse, backed by DCMI's process list for the device). A chip in use is logged and queued in PluginServer.pendingDeviceShare; the successfully switched ones stay available, also when every chip on the node is busy. A set refused on a chip that became busy between the check and the set is queued the same way. watchAndRegister retries the queue on every tick, which succeeds as soon as the workload occupying the chip finishes. Any other npu-smi failure still aborts startup as before. npu-smi now runs under a 30 s timeout: with the pending queue it is invoked from the watchAndRegister loop, where a hung binary would stop the kubelet device updates and the HAMi node registration.

Check device-share state before withholding a busy chip.
tryEnableDeviceShare returns busy=true immediately when IsDeviceInUse reports a workload. This withholds the chip from kubelet and HAMi even when device-share was already enabled. Do not replace this with an unconditional set: the repository contract allows the driver to refuse switching a busy chip, and the tests cover that refusal. Query the chip’s device-share state first. Return it as available when already enabled; queue it only when it is disabled and still busy.

What this PR does / why we need it:
On a
hami-vnpu-corenode the plugin enablesdevice-shareon every chip duringStart().npu-smi set -t device-share ... -d 1refuses to switch a chip that still runs a workload,applyDeviceSharestops at the first failure, andStart()aborts — so kubelet crash-loops the DaemonSet and the node stops advertising everyhuawei.com/Ascend*resource. One busy chip, whose block clears on its own once its workload finishes, takes the whole node offline (#131).enableNodeDeviceSharenow drives the chips one at a time, asking the driver whether a workload is running on each through a newManager.IsDeviceInUse(logicID)backed bydevmanager.GetDevProcessInfo, rather than interpretingnpu-smi's exit code. A chip in use is logged once and queued inpendingDeviceShare; the rest are switched and stay available, including when every chip is busy. Because a workload can start between the check and the set, a refused set is followed by a second look at the process list; if the list itself cannot be read, the set is attempted and its own result decides.watchAndRegistercallsretryPendingDeviceShareon every tick, so a chip is switched as soon as its workload finishes, and still-busy chips log atV(3)to avoid a warning per chip every 30 s.As requested in review, a queued chip is not registered while it waits: it is still laid out as a whole chip, so advertising it would let the scheduler place sliced workloads on a chip that cannot slice. It is withheld from the kubelet
ListAndWatchresponse and from the HAMi node annotation, and appears in the next tick once the switch succeeds.Indexin the annotation stays continuous over the devices actually reported whileNetworkIDkeeps following the chip's physical position, so a withheld chip in the middle of the list does not shift the network ID of the ones after it.Any other
npu-smifailure still aborts startup exactly as before. Becausenpu-smiis now invoked from the periodic loop too,runNpuSmiruns it under a timeout so a hung binary cannot stallwatchAndRegisterand with it the kubelet updates and the HAMi registration.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #131
Special notes for your reviewer:
This follows the behaviour suggested in the issue discussion: skip the busy chip, keep the rest available, retry later. The busy check uses the driver's process list as requested in review rather than
npu-smi's exit code; the set's own refusal is still handled for the window between the check and the set.Unit tests in
internal/server/device_share_test.gouse the existing fakerunNpuSmihook and a fakeIsDeviceInUse, so no hardware is involved: a busy chip is skipped and queued, an all-busy node queues everything and still starts, a chip taken between check and set is queued, an idle chip failing for another reason still fails fast, an unreadable process list falls back to the set, the retry loop drops a chip once switched, and a hungnpu-smitimes out. Three more cover the non-registration: the withheld chip is absent fromapiDevices, absent from the HAMi annotation withIndexcontinuous andNetworkIDintact, and the device fingerprint moves when a chip is withheld or restored.I have not run this on Ascend hardware.
