Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The proposed reclaim cooldown can leave expired tracking entries in memory during idle periods because cleanup occurs only when new reclaim events arrive.

- Around line 276-281: Update the reclaimbackoff tracker cleanup behavior so
expired entries are pruned periodically or via a timer-driven sweep even when no
subsequent reclaim is recorded. Preserve mutex safety and injectable-clock
testability, and add a test covering entries expiring during an idle period

- Around line 264-272: The deferred-workload wake-up logic should use one
coalesced timer set to the earliest active relevant cooldown deadline, rather
than the longest ClusterQueue cooldown. Recompute deadlines when the timer fires
so later deadlines are incorporated without postponing already-eligible
assignments, while preserving existing requeue notification semantics. Add a
two-resource test covering different deadlines and verifying the earlier
deadline triggers the retry.
- Around line 227-240: Deduplicate reclaim-backoff updates by (ClusterQueue,

InCohortReclamation and InCohortReclaimWhileBorrowing so multiple victims

eligibility and issued-eviction checks.

jitter range, apply the maximum cap after combining exponential backoff and
jitter, and saturate the exponent or intermediate calculation safely at
backoffMaxSeconds without overflow. Add a unit test covering a long

backoffMaxSeconds is reached.

Prune expired entries without waiting for another reclaim.
Line 280 says pruning occurs on every record. If the tracker records many unique pairs and the cluster then becomes idle, no later record invokes pruning, so expired entries remain for the controller lifetime. This contradicts the bounded-state goal in Lines 148-151. Add periodic cleanup or a timer-driven sweep, and test expiry with no subsequent record.

Partially adopted. Instead of a timer-driven sweep, expired entries are now pruned on the read path as well: IsBackingOff drops the queried entry once both its cooldown and reset window have passed, and the wake-up computation (MinRemaining) prunes every dead entry it scans. Rationale for not adding a periodic sweeper: an expired entry is invisible to every scheduling decision (cooldown checks return false, wake-ups ignore it), so the only cost of a dead entry is one small map slot until the next record or read touches it — a background timer would add a goroutine and lock churn for no behavioral change. With on-record and read-path pruning combined, the map stays bounded by the number of distinct (ClusterQueue, FlavorResource) pairs and shrinks back once reclamation stops. Covered by TestReadPathPrunesExpiredEntries; KEP wording updated in 5ae9ff6.

@hahahaheihei, thanks for the detailed update. The read-path cleanup prevents expired entries from affecting scheduling decisions. It does not guarantee that the map shrinks after the system becomes idle.
If no later reclaim occurs and no scheduler read reaches an expired entry, neither IsBackingOff nor MinRemaining runs for that entry. The entry can then remain for the controller lifetime. This conflicts with the updated KEP claim that the map “shrinks back once reclamation stops.”
Also, the current PR branch contains no pkg/scheduler/reclaimbackoff implementation or TestReadPathPrunesExpiredEntries. The PR objective states that implementation is deferred. The KEP must not claim this test as current coverage.
Please either:
- add cleanup that can run without later records or reads; or
- revise the bounded-state and test-plan text to describe opportunistic cleanup and its retention limit accurately.

- Around line 329-333: Align the reclaim-backoff cap requirement and test plan
with the jitter behavior: either document and test the effective post-jitter
upper bound, or update the backoff calculation so jitter is applied before
enforcing backoffMaxSeconds. Keep the exponential growth and cooldown behavior
unchanged.
- Around line 153-157: Update the tracker cleanup design to remove entries when
their owning ClusterQueue or FlavorResource is deleted, or add a tracker-wide
sweep that detects and prunes deleted owners rather than relying only on
key-specific reads. Revise the bounded-state documentation accordingly and add a
test covering deletion before cooldown or reset expiry.

What type of PR is this?
/kind kep
What this PR does / why we need it:
Proposes an opt-in, per-(ClusterQueue, FlavorResource) reclaim backoff. After a ClusterQueue's borrowed resource is reclaimed by cohort preemption, the scheduler applies an exponentially growing cooldown during which it defers only the flavor assignments that would borrow that same resource again. This breaks the "admitted, then immediately reclaimed again" spin loop without changing quota semantics for well-behaved workloads.
The design mirrors the
waitForPodsReady.requeuingStrategyconfiguration shape (KEP-1282) and follows the configuration opt-in precedent ofwaitForPodsReady(KEP-349) rather than introducing a feature gate.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
