Runs the lokistack e2e specs in parallel (ginkgo -p), split out from #3519 so the input_selection work can merge independently.

Stacked on #3519. This builds on the parallel-execution foundation there (ginkgo CLI runner + marking non-input_selection suites Serial), so it contains that commit until #3519 merges, after which this PR reduces to the single lokistack commit. Review by comparing against the parallel-input-selection branch.

Changes (single squashed commit):

  • Deploy shared resources (minio, loki operator, reader cluster role) once in SynchronizedBeforeSuite; per-spec namespace, minio bucket and LokiStack via a token unique across parallel processes.
  • Retry lokistack queries on transient errors (gateway warm-up 401 / HTML 5xx) instead of failing on the first attempt; return the last query error on timeout.
  • Skip the loki-operator install when the operator deployment is already available; don't register cleanups for an operator we didn't create.
  • Cap parallelism at --procs=3 to keep concurrent LokiStacks from overwhelming the shared cluster's data plane.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • End-to-end test runs can execute compatible checks in parallel, while checks that require sequential execution remain serial.
    • Parallel test runs use isolated resources to avoid collisions.
    • LokiStack test setup reuses shared infrastructure while keeping test data separate.
    • Query checks retry temporary errors and provide clearer failure details when they time out.
    • LokiStack test runs limit concurrent checks to help avoid resource contention.

Run the input_selection e2e specs in parallel while keeping every other
e2e suite serial, cutting the dominant contributor to e2e wall-clock time.

Each input_selection spec now derives a token unique across parallel
processes (GinkgoParallelProcess + atomic counter) and threads it through
its namespaces, namespace globs and pod-label selectors so concurrently
running specs no longer collide on:
- the previously fixed "clo-test-frontend" namespace (recreated per spec)
- the shared "clo-test*" namespace glob
- pod labels used by application input selectors

Inputs and verifiers are now builder funcs of the per-spec namespaces
rather than shared constants. All other e2e suites are marked Serial so
only input_selection spreads across worker processes, and the CI script
drives the suite with the ginkgo CLI (the only way Ginkgo v2 runs specs
in parallel).

Allow the lokistack e2e specs to run in parallel (ginkgo -p), building on
the parallel-execution foundation from the input_selection change:

- Deploy the shared resources (minio, loki operator, reader cluster role)
  once in SynchronizedBeforeSuite; give each spec its own namespace, minio
  bucket and LokiStack via a token unique across parallel processes.
- Retry lokistack queries on transient errors instead of failing on the
  first one: a gateway can report Available while observatorium-api is not
  yet serving authenticated queries, returning 401 or an HTML 5xx page
  while multiple LokiStacks warm up concurrently. Return the last query
  error on timeout so failures stay diagnosable.
- Skip the loki-operator install when the operator deployment is already
  available (pre-installed or left from a prior run), and avoid registering
  cleanups that would delete an operator we did not create.
- Cap parallelism at --procs=3 to keep concurrent LokiStacks from
  overwhelming the shared cluster's data plane.

📝 Walkthrough

The E2E runner now uses the Ginkgo v2 CLI with up to three processes. Selected suites are marked serial. Input-selection and LokiStack tests use unique per-spec namespaces and resources.

Changes: E2E parallel execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runner and serial suite declarations
hack/test-e2e-from-ci-bundle.sh, test/e2e/collection/*, test/e2e/flowcontrol/flowcontrol_test.go, test/e2e/logfilesmetricexporter/lfme_test.go, test/e2e/logforwarding/http/*, test/e2e/logforwarding/syslog/recovery_test.go, test/e2e/operator/{metrics,tls}/e2e_test.go
The CI script invokes the Ginkgo v2 CLI with parallel execution capped at three processes. Selected suites use Ginkgo’s Serial decorator.
Input-selection spec isolation
test/e2e/input_selection/input_selection_test.go
Each table entry creates token-scoped namespaces and labels. Input builders, selectors, and verification callbacks use those per-spec values.
LokiStack framework support
test/framework/e2e/lokistack.go
Framework methods support separate reader-role deployment and bucket creation. LokiStack deployment accepts a bucket name. Operator installation can be skipped when the deployment is available, and QueryUntil returns the last query error after polling.
LokiStack suite resource setup
test/e2e/logforwarding/lokistack/concurrency_test.go, test/e2e/logforwarding/lokistack/forward_to_lokistack_test.go
The suite limits concurrent specs and shares MinIO, the Loki operator, and the reader role. Each spec creates unique namespaces and a matching MinIO bucket for its LokiStack.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4e095

The parallel E2E suite is mergeable with bounded risk: a lock-file error can delay a run, and trace cleanup can overlap the next spec. Both should be fixed to make CI failures easier to diagnose and isolation more reliable.

Preserve ownership when an existing operator is unavailable.

If the Loki operator deployment exists but is temporarily unavailable, this check falls through to the installation path. That path registers cleanup that deletes the shared openshift-operators-redhat namespace, although this framework did not create the existing operator. Wait for an existing deployment separately. Treat only a confirmed NotFound result as a reason to install, and register namespace cleanup only when the framework owns that namespace. (onsi.github.io)

The lokistack specs each stand up a full LokiStack, a collector DaemonSet,
minio and a log generator. Running all `--procs` of them at once starves the
shared CI cluster and logs fail to ingest within the query timeout.

Throttle concurrency with an flock-based counting semaphore (default 2,
overridable via LOKI_E2E_MAX_CONCURRENT_SPECS) acquired in the suite
BeforeEach and held through teardown. ginkgo -p runs workers as separate
processes, so this is enforced across processes rather than by lowering
--procs in hack/test-e2e-from-ci-bundle.sh.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Deploy the application log generator from each spec that needs it rather
than in BeforeEach, and collect application logs via a per-spec input
scoped to the generator's namespace instead of the cluster-wide
application input.

Under parallel execution every collector previously ingested all
application pods cluster-wide, so a spec's LokiStack received other
parallel specs' pods (e.g. another process's lokistack gateway),
inflating queries and starving ingestion. Scoping the input to the
generator namespace keeps specs isolated; specs that forward only
receiver inputs (http/syslog/trace) no longer deploy an unused
generator. Audit and infrastructure remain cluster-wide.

Handle OpenFile errors instead of silently retrying forever.

If os.OpenFile fails for a persistent reason, such as a read-only TMPDIR or a permission error, the loop does continue for every slot. It then sleeps and retries without any bound. The spec hangs until the Ginkgo suite timeout, and the cause is never reported. Fail fast with Expect, as is already done for MkdirAll.

e2e.Cleanup() submits delete requests but does not wait for the trace namespace or pod to terminate. The slot is released after AfterEach, so another spec can start while trace cleanup is still in progress.
