OCPBUGS-39403 - Fix parseIPList to Continue Processing After Invalid IPs and Return Valid IPs

[mJace]

Summary

This PR updates the parseIPList function to handle IP lists containing invalid IPs or CIDRs more gracefully. Previously, the function would return an empty string as soon as it encountered an invalid IP or CIDR. This update ensures that the function will now continue processing the rest of the list and return a space-separated string of all valid IPs and CIDRs.

Changes

• Modified parseIPList to:
  • Collect both valid and invalid IPs or CIDRs.
  • Log all invalid entries for troubleshooting.
  • Return a string of valid IPs and CIDRs, or an empty string if none are valid.

Benefits

• Improved Robustness: The function now handles mixed validity IP lists more gracefully, allowing valid entries to be processed even if there are some invalid entries.
• Enhanced Debugging: Logging of invalid IPs or CIDRs provides better visibility into issues with input data.

Additional Notes

• The function continues to trim and validate input while logging detailed information about invalid entries.
• Ensure to review and test the function with various IP list scenarios to confirm the correctness of the changes.

Hi @mJace. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.
