CNF-23698: e2e: make OVS dynamic pinning tests compatible with ovsDpdk CPUs

[Tal-or]

When ovsDpdk CPUs are configured on the performance profile, the OVS affinity and cgroup tests need to account for DPDK PMD threads that run on dedicated ovsDpdk CPUs with their own exclusive cgroup partition.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved performance profile validation for OVS DPDK configurations.
  • Excluded DPDK poll-mode driver threads from cgroup and thread-affinity checks.
  • Added validation that OVS cgroup CPU assignments omit CPUs reserved for DPDK.

This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

Walkthrough

The performance profile test now parses the OVS DPDK CPU set. It adjusts the expected OVS cgroup CPU set and excludes DPDK PMD threads from OVS and guaranteed-pod affinity validations.

Changes

OVS DPDK validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse OVS DPDK CPU sets test/e2e/performanceprofile/functests/7_performance_kubelet_node/cgroups.go	The test parses OvsDpdk CPUs from the profile and removes them from the expected OVS cgroup CPU set.
Exclude DPDK PMD threads test/e2e/performanceprofile/functests/7_performance_kubelet_node/cgroups.go	The test identifies DPDK PMD threads and excludes them from OVS and guaranteed-pod affinity checks before and after pod replacement.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b7aa2

The tests now exempt DPDK PMD threads from some affinity assertions, but the current classification could also exempt a regular OVS thread that is incorrectly pinned to ovsDpdk CPUs, allowing a regression to pass unnoticed. Merge should wait for this bounded test-correctness issue to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not infer PMD identity from the CPU mask.

isOvsDpdkPMDThread classifies every thread whose affinity is a subset of ovsDpdkCPUSet as a DPDK PMD thread. The new continue statements then exempt that thread from the affinity assertions. If a regular ovs-vswitchd thread is incorrectly pinned to only OvsDpdk CPUs, the test will silently accept the regression. Determine PMD status from the thread's ovsdpdk.slice membership or a PMD-specific identifier, and use CPU-set containment only as a consistency check.
