Description

Stabilize the VirtualMachineUSB e2e scenario and simplify the USB handling flow in the guest.

Changes include:

• check NodeUSBDevice detached state before creating the VM;
• wait for the VM guest agent and USB readiness explicitly;
• extract repeated USB test actions into helper methods;
• rescan SCSI hosts before mount attempts in the guest;
• detect the guest USB disk through lsblk while validating that the expected USB serial is present;
• remount the USB filesystem after migration before reading the test data;
• flush data with sync and unmount the filesystem before migration;
• increase retries/timeouts around guest-side USB disk discovery after reconnect.

Why do we need it, and what problem does it solve?

The USB e2e scenario was flaky in several places:

• the detached check ran after VM creation and raced with attachment;
• the guest could see the USB device in lsusb before the block disk was ready;
• after migration the USB disk could reconnect later and require additional wait time before remounting;
• data could remain in cache if the filesystem was not flushed before migration.

These changes make the test validate the expected sequence more accurately and reduce random failures caused by delayed guest-side USB storage discovery.

What is the expected result?

Run the USB e2e scenario:

FOCUS="VirtualMachineUSB" task e2e:run

Expected behavior:

1. NodeUSBDevice is detached before VM creation.
2. VM starts and reports the USB device as attached and ready.
3. The guest finds and mounts the USB mass-storage disk.
4. Test data is written, flushed, and unmounted.
5. VM is migrated.
6. The guest waits for the USB disk to reappear and remounts it after reconnect.
7. The previously written data is still present.

Checklist

• The code is covered by unit tests.
• e2e tests passed.
• Documentation updated according to the changes.
• Changes were tested in the Kubernetes cluster manually.
