What type of PR is this?

/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:

Ascend hami-core Coresreq is a 0-100 percentage. On current nodes the plugin advertises physical AICore as Totalcore (8/20/24/30), which is not that percentage.

This change keeps a 100-point Fit budget by default. It only uses the advertised Totalcore when the device plugin reports Devcore > 100.

It is meant to be used with Project-HAMi/ascend-device-plugin#132. That plugin PR registers Devcore = round(100 * deviceCoreScaling). This scheduler PR consumes that advertised value. The scaling knob stays on the plugin (hamiVnpuCore.deviceCoreScaling). HAMi Helm is not changed.

  • advertised Totalcore <= 100: budget stays 100
  • advertised Totalcore > 100: budget is the advertised value
  • Coresreq=100 stays exclusive when the budget is oversold
  • a card already held by one full-core occupant rejects later requests, including legacy vNPU
  • -core: "30" still fits when physical Totalcore is 20

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #2951

Special notes for your reviewer:

AI assistance: Cursor helped draft the patch. I reviewed the Fit budget and exclusive checks. I wrote the commit messages.

Hardware (scheduler extender Fit):

  • 8 x Ascend 910B3, npu-smi / driver 25.5.0
  • plugin deviceCoreScaling=1.5 (advertised Devcore 150)
  • 3 pods with -core: "30" and 1 with -core: "20" on the same UUID: all scheduled (110 <= 150)
  • default budget 100 rejects the fourth (CardInsufficientCore)
  • physical Totalcore=20 still admits -core: "30"

go test ./pkg/device/... and golangci-lint run ./pkg/device/ascend/... pass.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

No. Behavior changes only when the coupled plugin advertises Devcore > 100.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Ascend plugin normalizes Hami-core device budgets during inventory loading. It preserves advertised budgets above 100 and uses normalized capacity for fit and exclusivity checks. Tests cover core, memory, incoming-pod, init-container, and legacy full-core behavior.

Keep the hami-core 100-point Fit budget so physical AICore values
(20/24/32) do not change Coresreq admission. When the coupled plugin
advertises Devcore > 100 via deviceCoreScaling, use that percentage.

Signed-off-by: curry30000 <32156223+curry30000@users.noreply.github.com>
An oversold budget lifts effectiveTotalCore above the 100 held by an
exclusive occupant, so neither the core capacity check nor
CardComputeUnitsExhausted rejects a later pod. Fit only filters hami-core
pods off non-hami-core nodes, so a legacy vNPU pod still reached such a
card. Drop the mode condition from the exclusivity guard.

Name the percentage base instead of repeating 100, and log at V(5) when an
advertised Devcore is clamped back to it, which signals a plugin and
scheduler configuration mismatch.

Signed-off-by: curry30000 <32156223+curry30000@users.noreply.github.com>
The exclusive-occupant guard ran before the CardComputeUnitsExhausted
check, so a full card without oversell (Totalcore 100, Usedcores 100)
began reporting ExclusiveDeviceAllocateConflict instead. Admission was
unchanged but the reason surfaced to users was, which the previous commit
did not intend.

Move the guard after that check. Oversell is unaffected: with an
advertised budget of 150 the occupant's 100 never equals
effectiveTotalCore, so CardComputeUnitsExhausted cannot fire and the
guard still rejects.

Signed-off-by: curry30000 <32156223+curry30000@users.noreply.github.com>
CollapseInitContainerUsage takes the peak core usage and the peak slot
count independently, so a Pod whose init container reserves a whole card
and whose app containers then run alongside is stored as Usedcores at the
percentage base with two slots. The scheduler rebuilds that as Used=2, so
the dev.Used == 1 guard did not recognize the reservation and an oversold
budget admitted a second tenant onto an exclusively held card.

Identify the occupant from the per-Pod collapsed entries on the device
instead. A Pod holding the base on the card blocks oversell; two Pods
holding half each stay below it and keep sharing the card, so legitimate
shared allocations that add up to the base are unaffected.

…e nodes

A pod that declares no vnpu-mode leaves isHAMiCore false, so its budget
stays at dev.Totalcore instead of the percentage base. Once the plugin
advertises an oversold Devcore neither arm of the exclusivity guard held,
and a 100-core request was admitted onto a card that already carried a
50-core allocation. Without oversell the capacity check rejected that
request first, so the gap only appears above the base budget.

Gate the guard on the node as well: where hami-core is enabled, a request
at the percentage base means the whole card whether or not the pod spells
the mode out.

Move the percentage-budget rewrite out of Fit so physical AICore
advertisements are stored as 100 once, and plugin oversell above 100 is
kept on the inventory. Fit then compares Totalcore directly.
