What type of PR is this?

/bug

What this PR does / why we need it:

This PR initializes the realCapability fields in the newQueueAttr function.
Without this initialization, these fields could remain nil, leading to runtime panics (e.g., nil pointer dereference in queueAttr.Clone() when the capacity plugin handles queue resources).

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Fixes #

Special notes for your reviewer:

  • The bug is triggered when hierarchical queues have inconsistent resource specifications between parent and child queues.
  • The uninitialized fields caused queueAttr.Clone() to dereference a nil Resource.
  • This PR ensures safe initialization to avoid such panics.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?

Fix a panic in the capacity plugin caused by uninitialized realCapability` fields in `newQueueAttr`.

Summary of Changes

Hello @dafu-wu, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a stability issue within the scheduler's capacity plugin. By ensuring that a specific resource capability field is properly initialized, it prevents application crashes that could occur due to unhandled null values during resource cloning operations, thereby enhancing the robustness of the queue management system.

Highlights

  • Bug Fix: Nil Pointer Dereference: This PR resolves a critical bug where the realCapability field in newQueueAttr was not initialized, leading to potential runtime panics (nil pointer dereference) when queueAttr.Clone() was called, especially with hierarchical queues and inconsistent resource specifications.

Code Review

This pull request addresses a critical bug that could cause a panic due to a nil pointer dereference in the capacity plugin. The fix involves initializing the realCapability field within the newQueueAttr function, which is the correct approach to prevent queueAttr.Clone() from failing when hierarchical queue validation does not complete successfully. The change is clean, effective, and also improves code formatting by aligning struct fields. This is a good fix.

Hello,
@Monokaix and @JesseStutler I encountered this issue on my production cluster.
This problem appears to be a duplicate of a previously PR-ed one, but this PR provides a more detailed description and the DCO is signed. (without reproduction steps though). So I made an actual issue with a detailed analysis and clear reproduction steps:

🔗 PR: volcano-sh/volcano#4558
🔍 Issue with analysis and reproduction steps: volcano-sh/volcano#4673

Given the impact, this should be prioritzed I think as soon as possible.
