📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added the exported SSHAddressAnnotation constant. Changed GetAddress to accept a complete *core.Node. Address resolution now checks the SSH address annotation first, then selects NodeInternalIP or NodeInternalDNS. IPv6 addresses are no longer filtered. Updated instanceFromNode to use the new API and removed the unused net import.

Suggested reviewers: mansikulkarni96

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to efd88

This change adds SSH address annotation precedence and retains internal IP/DNS fallback for node SSH resolution. No merge-blocking risk introduced by the change is established.

Full details: Go Best Practices & Build Tags

Explanation

GetAddress now accepts *core.Node but dereferences node.Annotations before checking whether node is nil. A nil argument therefore causes a panic, which violates the explicit nil-safety rule. The diff confirms this behavior was introduced at controllers/controllers.go in the new implementation. The controller files have no build tags in either the base or head revision, so the Linux-only tag gap is pre-existing and is not attributed to this pull request. The head revision also retains 24 old slice-based GetAddress callers, including controllers_test.go, which must be updated for the changed signature.

Resolution

Add a nil check as the first operation in GetAddress, and return a contextual error such as fmt.Errorf("node cannot be nil") before accessing node.Annotations, node.Status, or node.Name. Update all existing callers and tests to pass a *core.Node or provide a compatible wrapper so the head revision builds.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

The PR introduces a sensitive-data logging path. GetAddress now returns the arbitrary SSHAddressAnnotation value, which can be an internal DNS name. That value flows into instance.Info.Address and existing output paths such as pkg/nodeconfig/nodeconfig.go:135 (nc %s), pkg/windows/windows.go:338 (wc %s), and address-bearing SSH errors. The changed GetAddress error also adds node.Name, which can be an internal hostname, to an error returned by reconciliation. No password or token is exposed, but the custom check explicitly includes internal hostnames.

Resolution

Do not include the annotation-derived SSH address or node hostname in logs and propagated error text. Use an opaque node identifier, or a redacted address, in logger names and error messages. Update the affected address-bearing paths and add tests that set an internal hostname in SSHAddressAnnotation and verify that logs and returned errors do not contain it.

Hi @emagtala. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift 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.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

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.

Add the non-Windows build constraint.

controllers/controllers.go starts with package controllers and lacks //go:build !windows. Add the constraint before the package clause to exclude this controller package from Windows builds.
