OCPBUGS-29894: Check if CRLs are downloaded when determining ready status

[rfredette]

Require all CRLs to be downloaded before the router can report that it's ready. This prevents forwarding requests to a router until it's ready to handle mTLS.

This fixes OCPBUGS-29894

This makes a router pod start failing readiness checks if it has outdated CRLs, right?

To fix OCPBUGS-29894, it should be sufficient to fail readiness only for the initial synch, so that startup probes (which use the readiness endpoint) fail until the initial synch is done.

Once the router pod has done the initial synch, we want readiness checks to pass even if refresh fails, for two reasons:

• The expectation is to restore the behavior prior to openshift/cluster-ingress-operator#939 and #472, and that behavior was to prevent a router pod from serving traffic until it had CRLs, not to prevent a router pod from serving traffic if it had outdated CRLs.
• It is generally less bad to continue using outdated CRLs, rather than to stop serving traffic entirely when refresh fails.

This does make me realize that we need a Prometheus metric and an alert when refresh fails for a prolonged period. Failure to refresh has two nasty implications:

• Router pods are using outdated CRLs.
• The next rolling update of the router deployment (for an upgrade, configuration change, or whatever reason) could get stuck as presumably the new pods would fail on initial synch.

Ack, I'll update this so that the CRLs readiness check is only used for the initial sync.

This does make me realize that we need a Prometheus metric and an alert when refresh fails for a prolonged period.

That make sense, although I think that's out of the scope of this bug. I'll open a jira issue for that.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The router tracks whether required CRLs are current. It marks CRLs updated when no CA or CRL distribution points exist, and after successful updates. A new CRLsUpdated health check reports missing CRLs until the state becomes current. Router metrics readiness checks include this health check.

Suggested reviewers: frobware, gcs278, lihongan

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a2faf

The change gates router readiness on CRL download completion, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 14 | ❌ 1

❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Docstring Coverage	⚠️ Warning	Docstring coverage is 71.43% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%.	Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

✅ Passed checks (14 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly states that router readiness now checks whether CRLs are downloaded and identifies the related issue.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description directly explains the readiness change, its mTLS purpose, and the issue it fixes.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	The HEAD^..HEAD diff changes only four production Go files; it adds no *_test.go files or Ginkgo title declarations.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The pull request changes four production Go files and no *_test.go files; no Ginkgo test code was added or modified, so this check has no applicable failure.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The pull request changes four production Go files and adds no Ginkgo e2e tests, so MicroShift test compatibility does not apply.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The PR changes only four production Go files and adds no *_test.go files or Ginkgo declarations, so the SNO test-compatibility check does not apply.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	The diff changes only router runtime CRL and readiness logic; it adds no manifests or scheduling constraints such as affinity, topology spread, selectors, tolerations, replicas, or PDBs.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	The PR adds no stdout writes. It adds CRL state and health-check logic; the existing main fmt.Printf is identical before and after the PR, and no OTE/Ginkgo suite exists.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	The master diff changes only four production Go files and adds no Ginkgo e2e test files or declarations, so this IPv6 and disconnected-network test check is not applicable.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	The changed lines add CRL state, health checks, and file watching only. No weak algorithm or custom crypto is introduced; the existing MD5 routing key is unchanged from HEAD^.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	The PR changes only Go files and adds no listed privilege settings. Existing deploy/router.yaml hostNetwork: true is unchanged, so the PR introduces no container-privilege violation.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	The diff adds no sensitive logging; existing CRL path and filename logs are unchanged in content, and new readiness/state code emits no passwords, tokens, PII, hostnames, or customer data.
