Linkerd CNI in AKS fails after Calico pod get restarted

Linkerd General Discussion

After more investigation I found out that the Linkerd CNI script monitor only a specific events (CREATE & DELETE) that doesn’t get triggered when calico pod restarted.

monitor() {
  inotifywait -m "${HOST_CNI_NET}" -e create,delete |
    while read -r directory action filename; do
      if [[ "$filename" =~ .*.(conflist|conf)$ ]]; then 
        echo "Detected change in $directory: $action $filename"
        sync "$filename" "$action" "$cni_conf_sha"
        # When file exists (i.e we didn't deal with a DELETE ev)
        # then calculate its sha to be used the next turn.
        if [[ -e "$directory/$filename" && "$action" != 'DELETE' ]]; then
          cni_conf_sha="$(sha256sum "$directory/$filename" | while read -r s _; do echo "$s"; done)"
        fi
      fi
    done
}

These are the events on the CNI directory when I try reproducing the issue by killing calico-node in the node where Linkerd CNI run

root@linkerd-cni-9h2rc:/linkerd $ inotifywait -m /host/etc/cni/net.d

I guess if the Linkerd CNI script monitor also modify events that could solve this issue.
