Hi @alien1403. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Tip

We noticed you've done this a few times! Consider joining the org to skip this step and gain /lgtm and other bot rights. We recommend asking approvers on your previous PRs to sponsor you.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClusterQueue.PopHead now returns a workload with preemptor status. Queue manager head retrieval uses this status for ClusterQueue and second-pass workloads. Tests cover pending-preemption requeues and concurrent access.

Changes

Preemptor state propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
ClusterQueue head API
pkg/cache/queue/cluster_queue.go, pkg/cache/queue/cluster_queue_test.go
Adds PopHead, which returns the removed workload and preemptor status. Empty queues return nil.
Second-pass workload propagation
pkg/cache/queue/second_pass_queue.go, pkg/cache/queue/manager.go, pkg/cache/queue/manager_test.go
Second-pass retrieval returns workload information through an iterator. heads() resolves preemptor status through the ClusterQueue lookup. ClusterQueue retrieval uses PopHead().

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 50309

This PR makes a localized queue-state consistency change with accompanying tests, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains at the current head.

One behavior difference worth considering here: on main, a ready second-pass workload whose ClusterQueue has disappeared is still returned by heads(). The scheduler then detects the missing CQ, queues another second-pass attempt, and emits SecondPassFailed with the "ClusterQueue %s not found" message.

With this continue, takeAllReady() has already removed the workload from the second-pass queue, so that retry/diagnostic path is skipped.

This seems reachable if the CQ is deleted while the workload is waiting for its second pass, since DeleteClusterQueue() doesn’t clear the second-pass queue. Should we keep returning it here and let the scheduler handle the missing CQ as it does today?

One thing I'm worried about here is whether we want to say "isPreemptor = false" when the queue is missing? So far I don't believe it will make a difference but if the method is indeed returning a Head object with the field populated, someone might theoretically use the field without being aware that false might mean "cq missing". As such, I think we should confirm if it is okay for (cq == nil) => (isPreemptor == false)
