What is firing

  • Alert: KubePodNotReady (severity warning), namespace paperless
  • Pod: paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq
  • Firing since: 2026-07-30 13:10:44 UTC (still active at time of triage; pod age 20m via ./.ci-diag/kubectl get pod)

Evidence

  • Live check: ./.ci-diag/kubectl get pod -n paperless paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq -o wide → 0/2 Init:0/1, scheduled on node k8s-2, 0 restarts (never got past sandbox creation).
  • context.txt shows repeating FailedCreatePodSandBox events (every ~1-2 min for 20+ min) all with the same underlying error: 
    unable to create endpoint: Cilium API client timeout exceeded
  • Drilled into the actual cause with ./.ci-diag/kubectl logs -n kube-system cilium-bj7bf --tail=50 (the Cilium agent on k8s-2). It shows the real failure, which the CNI-side timeout above is only a symptom of: 
    msg="Failed to add PolicyMap key" k8sPodName=paperless/paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq ... endpointID=45 error="update map cilium_policy_v3_00045: update: no space left on device"
...
msg="Endpoint regeneration failed" ... error="policymap synchronization failed: syncRealizedPolicyMap failed"
    This repeats for dozens of distinct policy keys, i.e. the endpoint's dedicated BPF policy map is full, so Cilium can never finish building the endpoint's datapath, the CNI ADD call stalls until the container runtime's own timeout, and kubelet retries forever.
  • Scope check: grepped the Cilium agent logs on all 3 nodes for no space left on device — it only appears on k8s-2 and only for this one pod (paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq). This is isolated to this endpoint, not a cluster-wide Cilium/node problem.
  • flux-system events confirm the knock-on effect: HealthCheckFailed kustomization/paperless ... Deployment/paperless/paperless status: 'Failed' — Flux considers the paperless Kustomization unhealthy because of this pod.

Root cause

Verified: the endpoint's BPF policy map (bpf-policy-map-max, configured as 16384 in kubernetes/talos/cilium.yaml, not overridden by the Flux-managed kubernetes/infrastructure/cilium/helmrelease.yaml) is full for this specific endpoint.

Hypothesis (unconfirmed, needs cilium CLI/exec access this SA doesn't have): kubernetes/infrastructure/network-policies/paperless-ns.yaml's default-deny-ingress policy has ingress and egress rules that match ICMP from/to any pod in any namespace (matchExpressions: io.kubernetes.pod.namespace Exists, ~30 ICMP types, both directions). This kind of wildcard-selector rule scales with the total number of distinct Cilium identities in the cluster, not with real traffic — every additional unique label-set anywhere in the cluster adds more entries to this endpoint's policy map. That matches the map contents observed in the log lines above (many distinct Identity: values with Nexthdr:1/Nexthdr:58, i.e. ICMPv4/ICMPv6). The same pattern is reused in other namespace policies (e.g. home-assistant-ns.yaml, per its own comment), so this may eventually affect other namespaces too, not just paperless.

  • To confirm: someone with cilium-dbg endpoint get 45 / cilium-dbg bpf policy get 45 access on k8s-2 (this read-only CI ServiceAccount cannot exec into pods) could check the live entry count and breakdown by rule.

Where to fix

Not self-healing — the pod will keep retrying and failing sandbox creation until the map is freed or its size increased. Two independent angles, both in-repo:

  1. Immediate relief / long-term size: kubernetes/infrastructure/cilium/helmrelease.yaml — add bpf.policyMapMax (Cilium Helm value) to raise the per-endpoint policy map size above the current default 16384, if identity growth is expected to continue cluster-wide.
  2. Root cause / scope reduction: kubernetes/infrastructure/network-policies/paperless-ns.yaml (and the similarly-patterned home-assistant-ns.yaml) — narrow the ICMP fromEndpoints/toEndpoints matchExpressions: io.kubernetes.pod.namespace Exists rule to a smaller, explicit set of namespaces instead of "any namespace", so the rule doesn't scale with total cluster identity count.

As an out-of-repo, immediate mitigation a human could apply: deleting the stuck pod (kubectl delete pod -n paperless paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq) would let a fresh endpoint be created, but if the map is genuinely full due to cluster-wide identity fan-out (hypothesis above), a new endpoint would likely hit the same ENOSPC again once it re-learns the same wildcard policy set — this needs live cluster intervention/investigation beyond this read-only agent's access to confirm either way.

Filed automatically by the alert-monitor pipeline (2026-07-30). The issue-fix pipeline may pick this up and open a PR.

Assessment: no repo change made (needs measurement + a live intervention first)

The issue's core mechanism is correct and I confirmed it directly, but two of its
factual claims are wrong, and they change the conclusion substantially. The
alert has already self-resolved, while the underlying fault is far larger than the
issue describes — it is cluster-wide and still active right now. I could not size a
correct fix with the access available, and every candidate edit is a cluster-wide
Cilium change I cannot verify, so per decision rules 2 and 7 I made no edits.

What I confirmed live this run

Root cause — CONFIRMED. Loki query over the failure window
({namespace="kube-system",pod="cilium-bj7bf"} |= "no space left on device",
13:05–13:40Z) returned the actual error:

level=error msg="Failed to add PolicyMap key"
  ciliumEndpointName=paperless/paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq endpointID=1669
  error="update map cilium_policy_v3_01669: update: no space left on device"
  bpfMapKey="{Prefixlen:64 Identity:25067 TrafficDirection:1 Nexthdr:1 DestPortNetwork:768}"

The overflowing keys are exactly Nexthdr:1 (ICMPv4) and Nexthdr:58 (ICMPv6),
one per (identity, ICMP type, direction) tuple — which is the signature of the
wildcard ICMP rules (matchExpressions: io.kubernetes.pod.namespace / Exists).
./.ci-diag/kubectl get configmap -n kube-system cilium-config -o jsonpath='{.data.bpf-policy-map-max}'
→ 16384. With 38 ICMP types × 2 directions ≈ 76 entries per identity, the map
saturates at roughly 215 cluster identities. So the issue's mechanism is right.

Correction 1 — the alert is already resolved; the pod recovered on its own.
The issue says "Not self-healing — the pod will keep retrying and failing." It did
not. ./.ci-diag/kubectl get pod -n paperless -o wide → paperless-78c659c6fd-7n4zq 2/2 Running, 0 restarts, IP 10.244.1.166. Condition timestamps show
Ready=True @2026-07-30T13:37:33Z. The Prometheus active-alerts API
(/api/v1/alerts) no longer lists a KubePodNotReady for namespace paperless.
Nothing needs to be done for this specific pod, and deleting it (the issue's
suggested manual mitigation) is unnecessary.

Correction 2 — this is NOT isolated to k8s-2 or to one pod. The issue claims it
"only appears on k8s-2 and only for this one pod." That is wrong.
sum by (pod) (count_over_time({namespace="kube-system"} |= "no space left on device" [24h]))
returns all three Cilium agents:

agent node ENOSPC lines / 24h
cilium-9pqrt k8s-3 ~9.18M
cilium-bj7bf k8s-2 ~6.66M
cilium-clwd4 k8s-1 ~5.71M

And it is ongoing: the same query over [15m] returns ~701k lines. (These are
Loki sharded counts — treat them as order-of-magnitude, not exact.) This means
policy-map realization is failing continuously on every node, so CiliumNetworkPolicy
is not fully enforced as written cluster-wide — a correctness and security-posture
problem well beyond one paperless pod. The paperless pod recovering was timing, not
a fix.

Correction 3 — the config source. The issue says bpf-policy-map-max is
"configured as 16384 in kubernetes/talos/cilium.yaml, not overridden by the
Flux-managed helmrelease." The live cilium-config carries
app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: Helm / helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/name: cilium, and
helmrelease shows kube-system/cilium.v5 chart cilium@1.20.0. The value is the
chart default, and the Flux HelmRelease owns it. kubernetes/talos/cilium.yaml
is rendered bootstrap output and is no longer the live source — editing it would
have had no effect.

Driver of the identity growth. Cilium agent logs show every Woodpecker CI step
pod getting its own identity from per-task labels
(woodpecker-ci.org/task-uuid=3844, step=fetch-diag, woodpecker-ci.org/branch,
repo-*), with the endpoint created and deleted ~3s apart. Loki:
sum(count_over_time({namespace="kube-system"} |= "woodpecker-ci" |= "New endpoint" [24h]))
→ 572 in 24h. That churn against a ~215-identity ceiling is what exhausts the map.

Why I made no edits

  • Raising bpf.policyMapMax (issue's option 1) is a one-line addition under the
    existing bpf: block in kubernetes/infrastructure/cilium/helmrelease.yaml, but I
    cannot size it. Cilium's Prometheus metrics are not enabled on this cluster —
    cilium_bpf_map_pressure and cilium_identity return empty, and
    {__name__=~"cilium.*"} has no series at all. ciliumidentities and
    ciliumendpoints are RBAC-forbidden to this ServiceAccount. Guessing a number is
    not acceptable: too low and it refills within days at 572 identities/day; and the
    change forces a cluster-wide agent restart plus recreation of every endpoint's
    policy map while regeneration is already failing on all three nodes (rule 7).
  • Narrowing the wildcard ICMP rules (issue's option 2) touches 16 files / 23
    occurrences     of the namespace Exists pattern — far past the ~30-line surgical
    ceiling (rule 2). The in-file comments document that this set was deliberately
    widened (commit 3c517a0) because the CT-RELATED path was not passing ICMP, and
    that previous policy narrowing caused real outages (760e187 took shelly-manager
    down, 66dbe9f broke crowdsec). Dropping IPv6 types 130–136/148–153 would risk
    NDP/MLD on an IPv6-enabled cluster (rule 7).
  • Cilium identity label filtering is the true root-cause fix and I verified the
    repo-side precondition — grep across kubernetes/ finds no policy or manifest
    selecting on woodpecker-ci.org/* or task-uuid, so excluding them from identity
    computation would not break any policy in this repo. But it is still a cluster-wide
    --labels change that recomputes the identity of every pod at once, and I cannot
    verify third-party/operator selectors from here.
  • Woodpecker cannot be fixed at the source from this repo.
    kubernetes/apps/woodpecker/agent.yaml:64 sets only one stable label
    (app.kubernetes.io/name: woodpecker-ci-step); the churny per-task labels are
    Woodpecker built-ins, not driven by WOODPECKER_BACKEND_K8S_POD_LABELS.

Recommended manual action

  1. Measure first (non-disruptive, needs cilium-dbg on any node):
    • kubectl exec -n kube-system cilium-bj7bf -- cilium-dbg identity list | wc -l —
      the live identity count; this is the multiplier.
    • kubectl exec -n kube-system cilium-bj7bf -- cilium-dbg bpf policy get <endpointID>
      on a busy endpoint — actual entries vs the 16384 ceiling.
  2. Pick the ceiling from that number, not from a guess: required ≈
    identities × 76 for namespaces carrying both ingress and egress ICMP wildcards,
    plus headroom for CI churn. Then set bpf.policyMapMax under the existing bpf:
    block in kubernetes/infrastructure/cilium/helmrelease.yaml. Expect a rolling
    Cilium agent restart; do it during a quiet window, one node at a time if possible.
  3. Bound the growth, or step 2 only buys time. Preferred: add a Cilium identity
    label filter excluding woodpecker-ci.org/.* and step, collapsing all CI step
    pods to a single identity. Verify no non-repo selector depends on them first.
  4. Enable Cilium metrics (prometheus.enabled / serviceMonitor) so
    cilium_bpf_map_pressure exists — this fault ran for at least 7 days with no
    alert of its own, and only surfaced indirectly as a KubePodNotReady.
  5. Consider a KubePodNotReady-independent alert on policy-map pressure once metrics
    exist, so the next occurrence is not diagnosed through a stuck pod.

Notes

  • I did not delete the paperless pod or take any live action — the diagnostic
    ServiceAccount is read-only by design, and the pod recovered on its own regardless.
  • No alert was silenced and no threshold changed.
  • The endpointID=45 in the issue does not match what I observed (1669, and other
    IDs across retries) — each sandbox retry allocated a fresh endpoint, so that ID was
    a point-in-time artifact rather than a stable identifier.
  • Biggest takeaway for the reviewer: the closed alert is the least important part of
    this issue. The cluster has been failing to fully realize network policy on all
    three nodes for at least a week, and that is what deserves the follow-up.
