64-68: Side effect in getter function modifies global state.
getRealTimeWorkerNodesmodifies the globalrtTestThresholdsmap, which is unexpected for a function with a "get" prefix. This couples threshold configuration to node discovery and makes the behavior harder to reason about.Consider either:
- Renaming the function to reflect it configures thresholds (e.g.,
setupRealTimeWorkerNodes)- Returning the metal status and handling threshold adjustment at the call site

Kubernetes v1.NodeList Size() method protobuf
💡 Result:
In Kubernetes’ Go API types (k8s.io/api/core/v1), NodeList.Size() (n int) is not a method from “standard” google.golang.org/protobuf—it’s a generated fast-path protobuf helper (historically via gogo/protobuf-style codegen) that returns the number of bytes the object would take when encoded in protobuf wire format, and is used by the generated Marshal* functions (e.g., MarshalToSizedBuffer). [1]
If you want the protobuf-encoding size in a generator-agnostic way, the canonical API is proto.Size(m) (which computes the wire size by walking fields). [2]
Also note: because a Size() method is generated, protobuf generators may rename any protobuf field named size (e.g., to Size_) to avoid colliding with that generated method. [3]
Sources:
[1] k8s.io/api/core/v1 package docs showing NodeList has Marshal* and Size() methods
[2] Protobuf Go “Size Semantics” (proto.Size) documentation
[3] gogo/protobuf / protoc-gen-gogo collision note (field size vs generated Size() method)
Fix: Replace kubeNodes.Size() with len(kubeNodes.Items) for correct capacity.
The Size() method on protobuf-generated types like NodeList returns the serialized wire format size in bytes, not the number of items. Use len(kubeNodes.Items) instead to allocate the slice with correct capacity.
Proposed fix
- nodes = make([]string, 0, kubeNodes.Size())
+ nodes = make([]string, 0, len(kubeNodes.Items))📝 Committable suggestion

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Metal detection checks all worker nodes, not just RT nodes.
The metal detection logic iterates over all worker nodes and sets nodesAreMetal = false if any worker is non-metal—including non-RT workers. If a cluster has RT metal nodes alongside non-RT non-metal nodes, thresholds will be incorrectly raised to 7500µs.
Consider moving the metal check inside the RT kernel match condition.
🐛 Proposed fix to check metal status only for RT nodes
for _, node := range kubeNodes.Items {
if realTimeKernelRE.MatchString(node.Status.NodeInfo.KernelVersion) {
nodes = append(nodes, node.Name)
- }
- nodeLabels := node.GetLabels()
- if !strings.Contains(nodeLabels["node.kubernetes.io/instance-type"], "metal") {
- nodesAreMetal = false
+ nodeLabels := node.GetLabels()
+ if !strings.Contains(nodeLabels["node.kubernetes.io/instance-type"], "metal") {
+ nodesAreMetal = false
+ }

The error message references "oslat test" but this is the runCyclictest function.
