Conversation
Backport fixes from upstream apache/apisix-ingress-controller#2663. Root cause: readiness.Start() is asynchronous. If a controller's reconcile loop calls Done() before Start() finishes registering resources, Done() finds no state entry and returns early. The resource is never removed from state, causing WaitReady to block until the 5-minute timeout. Changes: - Done() now waits for Start() to complete (<-r.started) before operating on state, eliminating the race condition - WaitReady() returns false on timeout instead of true (semantic fix: timed-out != ready) - Remove unnecessary mutex in registerState() since Done() is now guaranteed to run after Start() closes r.started - Add log statements for easier debugging of readiness lifecycle

Pull request overview
This PR backports an upstream fix to the readiness manager to prevent startup full-sync from being blocked for the full 5-minute timeout due to a race between asynchronous Start() initialization and early Done() calls from controller reconciles.
Changes:
- Gate
Done()execution on readiness initialization by waiting onr.startedbefore accessingr.state. - Fix
WaitReady()timeout semantics to returnfalse(timeout ≠ ready). - Adjust readiness lifecycle logging and remove the mutex from
registerState().

Done() waits on r.started, so the early return on a failed List left every reconcile worker blocked forever in its deferred Done(). Closing the channel from a defer covers that path and, because the defer runs last, also keeps Start()'s unguarded len(r.state) reads out of reach of Done(), which deletes from the same map under r.mu -- a concurrent map access the race detector reports today. The per-object 'marking resource as done' line drops to V(1); it is deferred by every reconciler and one line per reconciled object is a lot of steady-state noise in a large cluster.
Root Cause
readiness.Start()is asynchronous. A controller's reconcile loop can callDone()beforeStart()finishes registering resources intor.state. When this happens:Done()checksr.state[gvk]— entry doesn't exist yet (race condition)Done()returns early without doing anythingStart()later registers the resource intor.stateDone()again for that resourceWaitReadyblocks until the full 5-minute timeoutChanges
Done()now blocks on<-r.startedbefore touchingr.state, ensuringStart()has finished registering all resources before anyDone()call can proceedWaitReady()returnsfalseon timeout instead oftrue— timed out ≠ readyregisterState()— safe becauseDone()is now guaranteed to run afterStart()closesr.started, soregisterState()is always called before any concurrentDone()accessTesting
