Problem

KubeVirt removed the whole-backup VirtualMachineBackup.status.type field (kubevirt/kubevirt f1a69f53c, "drop the whole-backup type") in favour of per-volume status.includedVolumes[].type (c32da47a4). Neither exists on current KubeVirt main / release-1.10, so status.type is always empty there.

The controller defaults to "full" when status.type is empty (handlePrepared), so on current KubeVirt:

• every backup is treated as full, including ones it expected to be incremental, which trips the false "Backup type mismatch detected" path;
• the datamover pod gets the wrong BackupType, so the S3 checkpoint chain can be recorded incorrectly;
• the DataUpload message reads VMBackup completed (type=).

Observed in pull-ci-openshift-oadp-operator-oadp-dev-5.0-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws (community HCO v1.20.0): the VMB reached Complete=True with an empty type, and the controller logged "type": "".

Change

Add resolveVMBBackupType, which reads status.includedVolumes[].type from the live VMB as unstructured, because the vendored kubevirt.io/api (v1.8.0-alpha.0) cannot model the field. The checkpoint index stores a single Type/Parent per checkpoint, so per-volume types are collapsed as: incremental if any volume is incremental, full only if every volume is full. If the VMB cannot be read, or no volume reports a type (for example a KubeVirt that predates includedVolumes[].type), the reconcile returns an error and retries instead of guessing, because recording an incremental backup as full would drop its checkpoint parent. Mixed VMBs (e.g. one disk lost its bitmap and fell back to full) are not fully restorable under either choice, because the index and the restore path are per-checkpoint:

• Reported as full, the uploader clears the checkpoint's parent (mismatchToFull), so an incremental disk's qcow2 (which has a backing file) is first in its chain and rebaseChain refuses it.
• Reported as incremental, the chain is kept for the incremental disks, but rebaseChain requires every non-base file to have a backing file, so the full disk's standalone qcow2 is refused.

A newly added disk is a second mixed case: it gets a full export while existing disks are incremental, and with the chain kept, restoring it fails at ResolveCheckpointFiles (checkpoint ... has no file for target volume) because the parent checkpoints predate the disk.

Both fail loudly at restore. This PR chooses incremental to preserve the existing chain. The new tests cover backup-type classification only, not a mixed-volume restore.

Known limitation / follow-up: per-volume Type/Parent tracking in the checkpoint index and restore path is the proper fix and is a separate, larger change. No compatibility path for existing indexes or for older KubeVirt builds is planned: the KubeVirt backup API this relies on is still tech preview, so we only track the stable, currently available API. Alternatively, a mixed VMB could be failed explicitly instead of recording a checkpoint that cannot be restored in full; that behaviour change is not made here.

There is no fallback to status.type: this targets current KubeVirt (older builds fail loudly as above).

Merge order

1. First: this PR.
2. Then: fix(e2e): read VMB backup type from status.includedVolumes[].type openshift/oadp-operator#2531, the e2e change that reads the same field. It is expected to fail its incremental assertion until this PR is merged and built into the KDM image.

#2531 pulls this PR's image in CI via Depends-On. The older openshift/oadp-operator#2529 (default empty status.type to full) only hides the symptom in the test and should be superseded by #2531.

Not in this PR

Bumping kubevirt.io/api to v1.10.x is a separate migration. v1.10.0-rc.0 removes Condition/ConditionDone/ConditionInitializing and switches conditions to metav1.Condition. It also affects #247, since KubeVirt also dropped checkpointRedefinitionRequired (e9528b3c2).

Testing

go test ./internal/controller/ passes, including new TestResolveVMBBackupType (all incremental, mixed, all full, single full; read failure, no included volumes and untyped volumes return errors).

Checkpoint chain integrity concern with the "any full → all full" approach

Background — the granularity mismatch

KubeVirt recently moved backup type tracking from per-VM to per-volume: VirtualMachineBackup.status.type was removed (f1a69f53c, "drop the whole-backup type") in favour of status.includedVolumes[].type (c32da47a4). This reflects reality — CBT decides backup type per-disk independently based on whether each disk's bitmap is valid.

However, the kubevirt-datamover-controller still models backup type per-VM / per-DataUpload. The checkpoint index (CheckpointEntry) stores a single Type and Parent per checkpoint, shared across all volumes in the VM.

What this PR does

resolveVMBBackupType reads each volume's type from status.includedVolumes[].type on the VMB and collapses them into a single per-VM type using an "any full → all full" rule: if any volume reports Full, the entire backup is marked Full.

The problem — potential data loss on restore for incremental volumes

Consider a VM with two disks. Disk A has a valid CBT bitmap → KubeVirt exports an incremental qcow2 (changed blocks only). Disk B's bitmap was invalidated → KubeVirt exports a full qcow2. The VMB reports includedVolumes[0].type = Incremental, includedVolumes[1].type = Full.

resolveVMBBackupType returns Full for the whole VM. This triggers the following chain of events:

Step 1 — updateVMIndex (pkg/uploader/run.go ~line 402):

The controller had expectedBackupType = "incremental" (because the existing S3 checkpoint chain is valid), but now backupType = "full". The mismatchToFull path fires:

checkpoint.Type = BackupTypeFull
checkpoint.Parent = ""

This severs the parent pointer for the entire checkpoint — all disks.

Step 2 — buildCheckpointChain (pkg/uploader/run.go ~line 777):

When writing the VMBackupManifest, buildCheckpointChain walks parent pointers to construct the ordered restore chain:

for currentID != "" {
    chain = append([]CheckpointEntry{cp}, chain...)
    currentID = cp.Parent
}

Since checkpoint.Parent = "", it stops immediately. The manifest's CheckpointChain contains only this single checkpoint.

Step 3 — Restore via ResolveCheckpointFiles (pkg/downloader/chain.go):

On restore, ResolveCheckpointFiles walks the entire manifest.CheckpointChain and collects one file per checkpoint per target volume. The function itself is correct — it walks everything it's given. But it's given a single-entry chain.

• Position 0 validation passes: Type=Full, Parent="" ✓
• For each volume, only one file is returned — this checkpoint's file.

Result:

• Disk B (genuinely full qcow2): restore gets a complete standalone image. ✅
• Disk A (incremental qcow2, only changed blocks): restore gets that one delta file with no parent chain files. The rebase-and-flatten step produces a disk missing all unchanged blocks from previous checkpoints. ❌ Data loss.

The core issue is that the S3 data (per-disk qcow2 files) and the S3 index metadata (CheckpointEntry.Type/Parent) diverge. The index says "standalone full, no parent needed" but Disk A's actual data is an incremental delta that depends on its parent chain.

Why "force full export for all disks" doesn't work

A seemingly obvious fix would be: if the controller marks the checkpoint as full, also ensure every disk's qcow2 is a full export so the data matches the metadata. However, the mixed-type scenario is only discoverable after the VMBackup completes — the controller asked KubeVirt for an incremental backup and only learns that some volumes fell back to full by reading status.includedVolumes[].type. By that point the qcow2 data is already written. Forcing a full re-export for the incremental disks would require triggering a second VMBackup, doubling I/O and storage cost.

Suggested path forward — per-volume type awareness in the checkpoint model

The structural fix is making the checkpoint index per-volume-aware:

1. Index schema: Add Type (and optionally Parent) to CheckpointFile (or a parallel per-volume structure within CheckpointEntry). Each disk's chain dependency is tracked independently. A full-fallback volume starts a fresh chain for itself; incremental volumes keep their parent chain intact.

2. buildCheckpointChain: Either becomes volume-aware, or the chain remains per-VM with the per-file type determining which parent files are actually needed for each volume.

3. ResolveCheckpointFiles: Already filters by targetVolume — it would check the per-file type rather than the checkpoint-level type when deciding whether to include parent chain files for that specific volume.

4. Schema migration: Existing backups with the old single-type format would need a compatibility path (treat checkpoint-level Type as the default for files that don't have their own Type).

Interim safeguard — preserve the chain, don't sever it

Until per-volume tracking is implemented, a safer short-term approach: when the VMB reports mixed types and mismatchToFull would fire, don't sever the chain. Instead, keep checkpoint.Type = "incremental" and checkpoint.Parent pointing to the previous checkpoint.

Rationale: A full volume's qcow2 is a standalone complete image — it restores correctly regardless of chain position. It doesn't need parent data; extra parent files for that volume are simply unused. But an incremental volume's qcow2 requires its parent chain. Severing the chain corrupts incremental volumes to accommodate full volumes that don't need the accommodation.

The tradeoff is that the checkpoint-level Type says "incremental" when one volume is actually full, which is technically inaccurate but doesn't cause data loss. The reverse (calling it "full" when some volumes are incremental) is what causes data loss.

This could be implemented by either skipping the mismatchToFull path when the mismatch is due to mixed per-volume types (as opposed to a genuine full-VM fallback), or by not using this PR's collapsed type to drive the checkpoint recording at all — instead keeping the expected type from the chain lookup.

[kaovilai]

Thanks, verified against pkg/uploader/run.go: CheckpointEntry holds a single Type/Parent, and mismatchToFull clears Parent, so collapsing a mixed VMB to full would sever the chain for the incremental disks.

Switched to the interim safeguard in 0b7f811: resolveVMBBackupType now returns incremental if any volume is incremental and full only if every volume is full, so a mixed backup keeps its parent chain. The PR description now lists the inaccuracy this leaves at the checkpoint level (a mixed backup recorded as incremental) as a known limitation. Per-volume Type/Parent in the checkpoint index, with a compatibility path for existing indexes, stays a separate follow-up. I did not verify the restore behaviour of a full volume sitting under an unused parent chain beyond reading ResolveCheckpointFiles.

The e2e helper in openshift/oadp-operator#2531 follows the same rule now.

[redhat-chai-bot]

Thanks — the per-volume rule addresses the specific parent-chain severing concern. I checked the restore path at the current head and need to qualify the claim that a full volume is unaffected by a retained parent chain: Run resolves the target volume's file from every checkpoint in the manifest chain and passes the resulting list to rebaseChain; rebaseChain requires each non-base file to have a backing file and rebases it onto the previous file. It does not skip prior checkpoints for a volume marked Full.

If the Full output is standalone as the PR description says, a full fallback in a later checkpoint would fail the non-base backing-file check rather than have an unused parent chain. The new tests cover backup-type classification, not this mixed-volume restore path. Could you qualify/remove the statement that the full volume restores correctly under the retained chain, or add/point to a restore-level test demonstrating it? This leaves the per-volume Type/Parent index work as a separate follow-up.

You're right, and I overstated this. I had not verified the restore side. rebaseChain (pkg/downloader/reconstruct.go:86) requires every non-base file to have a backing file, so a standalone full qcow2 under a retained parent chain is refused at restore, not restored correctly.

That also means my earlier "data loss" framing for the full-collapse case was too strong: an incremental volume's qcow2 is first in a severed chain, and rebaseChain refuses a base that has a backing file, so that case also fails loudly rather than silently. Mixed VMBs are not fully restorable under either collapse until the index and restore path track type per volume.

In 96f3662 I corrected the code comment, and the PR description now states this, notes that the tests cover classification only, and lists per-volume tracking as the follow-up. I kept "incremental if any volume is incremental" so the existing chain is preserved, but an explicit failure for mixed VMBs is a reasonable alternative; that is a behaviour decision I have not made here.

Follow-up: restore behavior under both approaches

Building on the analysis above, here are two concrete scenarios that illustrate why neither the "any full → all full" approach in this PR nor a simple "keep everything as incremental" workaround is safe.

Scenario 1: New volume added since last backup

A VM gains a new disk (disk-c) between backups. At VMBackup time, disk-c gets a full export (it has no prior bitmap), while existing disks get incremental exports. The VMB reports mixed types.

If we keep the chain intact (label the checkpoint "incremental"):

ResolveCheckpointFiles walks the full chain for targetVolume="disk-c". At position 0 (the base full checkpoint), it looks for a file matching disk-c — but disk-c didn't exist back then. Every checkpoint in the chain must have a file for the target volume:

if match == nil {
    return nil, fmt.Errorf("checkpoint %q has no file for target volume %q", id, targetVolume)
}

Result: restore errors out — the new volume can't be restored because the parent chain predates it.

If we sever the chain (this PR's approach):

The chain is just [checkpoint_N]. ResolveCheckpointFiles finds disk-c's file at position 0, validates Type=Full, Parent="" — restore works for disk-c. But as shown in the previous comment, any volumes that were actually incremental lose their parent chain data — data loss.

Scenario 2: Existing volume whose bitmap was invalidated

Both disks existed in prior backups. Disk-b's bitmap gets invalidated, so CBT exports a full qcow2 for it. Disk-a's bitmap is fine — incremental export.

If we keep the chain intact (label the checkpoint "incremental"):

ResolveCheckpointFiles succeeds — disk-b exists in every checkpoint. Returns files: [full_file_0, incr_file_1, ..., full_qcow2_at_N].

But rebaseChain (pkg/downloader/reconstruct.go) validates each downloaded file's qcow2 metadata:

• Position 0: must have no backing file → ✅
• Positions 1..N-1: must have a backing file → ✅
• Position N (disk-b's file — a full qcow2 from CBT fallback, standalone with no backing file reference):

if i > 0 && info.BackingFilename == "" {
    return fmt.Errorf("checkpoint increment %q unexpectedly has no backing file; refusing to restore", path)
}

Result: restore errors out — the full-fallback qcow2 has no backing file but sits at a non-base position in the chain, failing rebaseChain validation.

If we sever the chain (this PR's approach):

The chain is [checkpoint_N]. Disk-b's full qcow2 is at position 0, validates correctly, restores fine. But disk-a's incremental qcow2 is also at position 0 — treated as standalone full with no parent chain. Data loss for disk-a.

Summary

Scenario	Sever chain (this PR)	Keep chain intact
New volume (full qcow2)	✅ Restores correctly	❌ Error: "no file for target volume" in parent checkpoints
Existing volume, bitmap invalidated (full qcow2)	✅ Restores correctly	❌ Error: "unexpectedly has no backing file" at non-base position
Existing volume, bitmap valid (incremental qcow2)	❌ Data loss: delta treated as standalone	✅ Restores correctly (chain intact)

Neither approach is safe for all volumes in a mixed-type backup. The fundamental issue is that CheckpointEntry has a single Type/Parent per checkpoint, but the actual backup data is per-volume. Any single per-checkpoint decision (full or incremental) will be wrong for the opposite set of volumes.

Required fix: per-volume type tracking

The checkpoint model needs per-volume type awareness. Rough sketch:

1. Index schema: Add Type (and optionally Parent) to CheckpointFile or a parallel per-volume structure within CheckpointEntry. Each disk tracks its chain dependency independently.

2. ResolveCheckpointFiles: Already filters by targetVolume — would use the per-file type to determine which parent files are needed for each volume. For a volume whose chain starts mid-way (new volume, scenario 1), the walk begins at the first checkpoint containing that volume.

3. rebaseChain: Validation would use per-file type rather than position-based heuristics, or the files passed to it would already be correctly scoped per-volume.

4. Schema migration: Existing backups with the old single-type format need a compatibility path — treat the checkpoint-level Type as the default for files that don't carry their own.

@kaovilai ok I think we're converging here. I think we're both agreeing that solving the mixed case is out of scope for this PR -- we're aiming here to restore proper functionality for the default case where all volumes have the same type. Fixing this to handle the mixed type is a follow-on.

[redhat-chai-bot]

Thanks for laying out the two mixed-volume scenarios. I agree with the core conclusion: a checkpoint-wide Type/Parent cannot successfully represent the per-volume dependencies in a mixed VMB, so per-volume tracking belongs in a follow-up.

One correction to the table: for a severed chain, an incremental qcow2 that still has a backing-file reference is rejected when it becomes position 0. rebaseChain checks i == 0 && info.BackingFilename != "" and returns checkpoint base ... unexpectedly has a backing file ...; refusing to restore. That case is therefore an explicit restore failure, not demonstrated silent data loss. The examples support saying mixed backups cannot be restored successfully under either checkpoint-wide choice, with different failure modes.

Given the stated scope of this PR—restoring the homogeneous-volume case—this mixed-case limitation can remain a documented follow-up.

Depends-On status for this PR's CI

openshift/release#88443 (merged) fixed the oadp-depends-on-build step wired into this repo's virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws job. Earlier runs of virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws on this PR failed inside oadp-depends-on-build on a GitHub API fetch, before any e2e ran. The step now retries and fails open, and virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws has been re-triggered.

Where to see the pre-merge CI for this fix

The check that tests this controller fix together with the matching e2e change is ci/prow/5.0-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws on openshift/oadp-operator#2531 (checks tab: https://github.com/openshift/oadp-operator/pull/2531/checks). That check builds this PR's head into a container image, swaps the image into the operator, and runs the updated e2e test against the swapped operator. At the time of writing, the run is still in progress: https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results-public/pr-logs/pull/openshift_oadp-operator/2531/pull-ci-openshift-oadp-operator-oadp-dev-5.0-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws/2118734212679864320

To confirm the swap actually happened (the step fails open, so a green check alone is not proof), open the oadp-depends-on-build step log in that run and look for Found Depends-On line(s) and the build of this PR, with no depends-on-fetch-failed.txt artifact.

This PR's own check, ci/prow/virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws (current run: https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results-public/pr-logs/pull/migtools_kubevirt-datamover-controller/255/pull-ci-migtools-kubevirt-datamover-controller-oadp-dev-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws/2118734187786670080), also swaps this PR's controller in, but that check runs the older e2e tests already on oadp-dev, so the combined result is not there.

• A Depends-On: <PR URL> line in this description can additionally pull in a sibling PR: migtools/kubevirt-datamover-plugin (swapped via RELATED_IMAGE_KUBEVIRT_DATAMOVER_PLUGIN) or openshift/oadp-operator (manager Deployment image only).

This PR deliberately has no Depends-On: line. The only related PR is openshift/oadp-operator#2531, and a Depends-On: line pointing at that oadp-operator PR would add no coverage to virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws, for three reasons:

• The oadp-operator PR changes only e2e test code, so a manager image built from that PR would be identical to the manager image built from oadp-dev.
• The e2e suite cannot be swapped. virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws runs the tests from the already-merged oadp-dev test image, and Depends-On only patches the operator Subscription and the manager Deployment.
• Adding the line would only add an extra in-cluster build and a manager Deployment patch, with no change in what is tested.

In summary, images are swapped and the e2e suite is not. Because the suite is not swapped, virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws on this PR may still hit the old GetVMBBackupType timeout on current KubeVirt, and the combined result lives on the oadp-operator PR linked above.

/override ci/prow/virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws

Reason for the override: this job's failure is expected and the combined behavior is verified elsewhere.

• This job runs this PR's controller image against the e2e tests from the oadp-dev branch of oadp-operator. Those tests' GetVMBBackupType still reads the removed VirtualMachineBackup.status.type, so the incremental-sequence spec times out regardless of this change (failing run: https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results-public/pr-logs/pull/migtools_kubevirt-datamover-controller/255/pull-ci-migtools-kubevirt-datamover-controller-oadp-dev-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws/2118734187786670080). The controller itself resolved the backup type correctly in that run.
• The test-side fix is fix(e2e): read VMB backup type from status.includedVolumes[].type openshift/oadp-operator#2531. Its 5.0-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws job builds this PR's head (4e755aa) through Depends-On and swaps it in; the e2e step succeeded: https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/test-platform-results-public/pr-logs/pull/openshift_oadp-operator/2531/pull-ci-openshift-oadp-operator-oadp-dev-5.0-virt-kdm-e2e-test-aws/2118734212679864320
• The KDM-side job cannot run test code from an unmerged oadp-operator PR (documented limitation of the Depends-On step), so it stays red until that PR merges. It is not a required check here.
