Admin force-delete commits Machine ForceDeletion before it cleans Instance resources, but the Instance remains live until physical deletion. A configuration request that started earlier can therefore commit after force-delete has selected what to clean, leaving newly committed resources out of the cleanup.

This change locks the Instance in a separate short transaction after Machine ForceDeletion commits. While holding the lock, it sets instances.deleted if needed and captures the current configuration plus both sides of any pending network update before committing. If the configuration transaction commits first, cleanup uses the captured state. If its terminal Instance write runs after the marker commits, the existing deleted IS NULL predicate rejects the write and the configuration transaction rolls back. A failed UFM attempt keeps the marker and original deletion time for retry. External work stays outside the transaction, and no transaction holds both Machine and Instance locks.

Related issues

This implements #5112. It builds on the merged concurrency and cleanup work in #5129, #5136, #5141, #5142, #5287, and #5379. The broader Machine and DPU lock-order audit remains in #5333.

Type of Change

  • Add - New feature or capability
  • Change - Changes in existing functionality
  • Fix - Bug fixes
  • Remove - Removed features or deprecated functionality
  • Internal - Internal changes (refactoring, tests, docs, etc.)

Breaking Changes

  • This PR contains breaking changes

Testing

  • Unit tests added/updated
  • Integration tests added/updated
  • Manual testing performed
  • No testing required (docs, internal refactor, etc.)

The complete Admin force-delete test module passes with 18 tests, including cases for both commit orderings, cleanup of a pending network configuration committed before the marker, and repeated UFM failure with a stable deletion timestamp.

Additional Notes

No UFM or other external call runs inside the new database transaction.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved force-deletion reliability when instance updates occur concurrently.
    • Ensured deletion completes successfully when the instance is already missing.
    • Preserved deletion state and timestamps when external cleanup operations fail.
    • Prevented configuration updates from completing after an instance is marked for deletion.
    • Improved consistency of instance status and configuration during force-deletion operations.

Walkthrough

force_delete_instance now commits deletion state before external cleanup. Tests cover concurrent configuration updates, reread ordering, generated network cleanup, and repeated UFM failures.

Changes

Instance force deletion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transactional deletion and cleanup state
crates/api-core/src/handlers/instance.rs
The handler locks and rereads the instance in a separate transaction. It marks live instances deleted, commits the transaction, handles missing instances as a no-op, and uses the committed state for cleanup.
Concurrency and failure-path validation
crates/api-core/src/tests/machine_admin_force_delete.rs
Tests verify committed configuration and metadata capture, reject updates that complete after deletion marking, validate address-lock ordering, and preserve the original deletion timestamp across UFM retries.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d8099

The change marks Instances deleted before force-delete cleanup and captures the state needed for cleanup, but a remaining correctness risk is that late writes through other configuration paths may not be rejected and could leave generated network segments or IB GUIDs behind. Merge should wait for that path coverage or explicit owner acceptance.

Admin force-delete now locks the Instance in a separate short transaction after the Machine `ForceDeletion` transaction commits. While holding that lock, it sets `instances.deleted`, captures the full Instance snapshot, and commits before UFM or direct cleanup begins.

A configuration update that commits before the marker is included in the captured cleanup state. If its terminal Instance write runs after the marker commits, the existing `deleted IS NULL` predicate rejects the write and the configuration transaction rolls back.

This supports NVIDIA#5112
