| 03:23:17 | yikun | xinranwang: not sure sysfs can be supported completely by other device. | |
| 03:23:33 | wangzhh | xinranwang, we can't find some pci device by sysfs. | |
| 03:24:05 | Sundar | wangzhh: We have /sys/bus/pci . I think you are saying that doesn't have all the info you need? | |
| 03:24:09 | xinranwang | as far as i know, the 'lspci' also read the sysfs. | |
| 03:24:16 | Yumeng | wangzhh: can we also find gpu device by sysfs ? | |
| 03:26:21 | wangzhh | Yep, Sundar, as far as i know, some info like manufacturer， read form another directory by lspci | |
| 03:26:36 | Sundar | I think the risk is low for pciutils, because it is pretty common. But this puts us on a slippery slope to other packages that may not be common. | |
| 03:27:29 | Sundar | As long as we examine each addition to bindep carefully, we should be ok, I think. | |
| 03:28:00 | wangzhh | Different os have differetnt dir. It's better to use a lib. Key point is | |
| 03:28:12 | Sundar | I have no objections to adding pciutils. Anybody thinks differently? | |
| 03:28:22 | wangzhh | Is pciutils populate? | |
| 03:29:17 | Sundar | wangzhh: are you asking if it is usually installed or populated? | |
| 03:30:49 | Sundar | Is everybody ok with adding pciutils? | |
| 03:31:11 | xinranwang | no objections | |
| 03:31:43 | wangzhh | I'm worried about there are few people maintain and use it? I'm not sure. | |
| 03:32:49 | yikun | wangzhh: lspci is contained by pcituils package | |
| 03:32:53 | Sundar | wangzhh: I think pciutils is a popular package, available in most common distros. exceptios may be some really tiny or embedded distros, but they will probably not be used in servers | |
| 03:33:05 | Sundar | *except | |
| 03:33:18 | wangzhh | Ok, fine. | |
| 03:33:26 | yikun | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pciutils | |
| 03:33:42 | Yumeng | no objections +1 | |
| 03:34:10 | Sundar | #agreed Will adopt bindep approach with pciutils. | |
| 03:34:23 | Sundar | #topic New drivers in Train | |
| 03:34:38 | Sundar | Glad to see many drivers getting proposed as patches | |
| 03:35:07 | Sundar | It may be a good idea to ask for a spec, stating he use cases, test plans and plans for CI, I think | |
| 03:35:41 | Sundar | Otherwise, it is not clear to the community what devices are involved and what testing needs to be done | |
| 03:36:10 | Sundar | The device hardware may not be available to other contributors. So, it is important to set up CI, I think | |
| 03:36:15 | Sundar | What do you all think? | |
| 03:38:14 | Sundar | wangzhh, yikun, Yumeng: ^ | |
| 03:38:42 | Sundar | for GPUs, Ascend, HPTS | |
| 03:39:00 | yikun | the ci support is a good idea, but I prefer we can start to make 3rd party ci support in next release. | |
| 03:39:55 | Sundar | yikun: Understand. But we should probably have some documentation on what is supported for each driver | |
| 03:40:19 | Sundar | For example, we may have some limitations or caveats for one driver but not others | |
| 03:41:11 | yikun | https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/rocky/reference/support-matrix.html | |
| 03:41:25 | yikun | I guess a page looks like it ^ | |
| 03:41:44 | wangzhh | Emm, agree. | |
| 03:41:44 | Sundar | Good find :) | |
| 03:42:12 | Sundar | I think we should require a spec before we agree to maintain the driver. The spec should describe the device, use cases, test plans and documentation plans. What do you all think? | |
| 03:43:17 | Sundar | For Train, though it is past Milestone 2, I think we can make an exception and accept specs even now. | |
| 03:45:01 | Sundar | wangzhh, Yumeng, yikun, Li_Liu, xinranwang, s_shogo: ^ | |
| 03:45:18 | Yumeng | ,Sundar, yikun,wangzhh: agree that we need to have some docs like https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/rocky/reference/support-matrix.html. | |
| 03:45:53 | Yumeng | Can we focus on the driver code/(make the function work) first and do the ci plans spec/support docs later ? | |
| 03:46:09 | wangzhh | I think this link is a good example. | |
| 03:46:26 | Yumeng | especially after we tested with some results | |
| 03:46:57 | Sundar | Apart from that doc, many projects require a spec before accepting a major feature. When somebody contributes a driver, we all agree to maintain that code. So, we need a spec to understand what we agree to. | |
| 03:48:43 | Sundar | Yumeng: CI plans can come later. But, without a spec, how do we know enough to maintain it? | |
| 03:50:23 | Sundar | Anybody disagree? or think we need exceptions for Train? | |
| 03:51:58 | Yumeng | emmm... I think driver maintainance is strongly related to the device, vendors should maintain their own and provide support for users to use.What do you think? | |
| 03:54:59 | yikun | Agree with yumen, the priority thing is make the driver work. | |
| 03:55:22 | yikun | https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/stein/drivers.html and here is also a example to show the driver support in every release | |
| 03:56:12 | Sundar | Yes, vendors would support their own drivers. When a driver is comitted to Cyborg repo, we agree to collectively maintain it. For example, for Python 3 migration, driver code can be changed by somebody other than the vendor, right? | |
| 03:57:00 | Sundar | Anyways, we can revisit this next meeting, because we are running out of time. | |
| 03:57:07 | Sundar | #topic Storyboard | |
| 03:57:17 | Sundar | https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/cyborg | |
| 03:58:16 | Sundar | There are lots of topics still open. Please go through it and take up what you can. | |
| 03:59:11 | Sundar | Some important things that we need to track: Python 3 migration, fake driver patch (https://review.opendev.org/665318) | |
| 03:59:28 | Sundar | testing to make sure that fake driver works with tempest CI (needed for Nova patch merging) | |
| 04:00:33 | Sundar | Anything else that we need to track in each meeting going forward? | |
| 04:01:45 | Yumeng | Sundar: I noticed lots of TODOs in dbapi such as https://github.com/openstack/cyborg/blob/master/cyborg/db/sqlalchemy/api.py#L567 | |
| 04:02:20 | xinranwang | please review the placement report part as well, it's also in critical path. | |
| 04:02:37 | xinranwang | https://review.opendev.org/#/c/659233/ | |
| 04:02:58 | Sundar | Yumeng: True, I was hoping to get to them after the patches merge. If some of you can take up some of those TODOs, that'll be great. | |
| 04:03:20 | Sundar | xinranwang: Yes. | |
| 04:03:43 | Sundar | OK, we are past the time. | |
| 04:04:00 | Yumeng | do you want to make them tested and work after V2 and nova-integ patches merged? or are there any other motivations? | |
| 04:04:33 | Yumeng | ok, we can continue in wechat | |
| 04:04:42 | Sundar | Yumeng: That's what I thought originally. But the basic db patch has already merged for Cyborg. So, we can start filing patches for db changes | |
| 04:05:02 | Yumeng | ok | |
| 04:05:03 | xinranwang | I have removed these exception in placement report patch. it can wirte the db correctly | |
| 04:05:26 | Yumeng | xinranwang:ok great! | |
| 04:05:33 | Sundar | I'll create storyboard tasks for these TODOs | |
| 04:05:55 | Sundar | Thanks, everybody. Have a good day or night, wherever you may be :) | |

| 04:06:23 | s_shogo | sorry , next week ( 8/10-19), we (NTT group) take a vacation on the whole. I'm afraid I will be absent from IRC chat and so on. | |
| 04:06:44 | s_shogo | and a small topic, but this affects all about py3 patch.Current zuul.yaml in py3 patch treats py3-test as "non-voting".Are there any problem in changing it to "voting" ? | |
| 04:07:27 | Sundar | s_shogo: NP. We should review your patch https://review.opendev.org/667524. But it says WIP. Will you update it further? | |
| 04:08:24 | Sundar | s_shogo: Py3 changes are still WIP. We should make it voting sometime later, may be in early Sep. What do you think? | |
| 04:08:25 | s_shogo | I'm waiting for finishment of merge P1-P9 patches , so I treat it as WIP.After that , I'll test them in local env again, and request review. | |
| 04:08:46 | Sundar | s_shogo: Got it, thanks. | |
| 04:09:20 | s_shogo | is ok treat as "voting" in Sep. I'll post that as patch in sep, again. | |
| 04:09:40 | Sundar | Great | |
| 04:09:40 | s_shogo | NP. | |
| 04:12:06 | s_shogo | ok, thanks. I'll prepare a wechat account in next time. | |
| 05:49:11 | Sundar | Li_Liu: In the IRC discussion today (http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-cyborg/%23openstack-cyborg.2019-08-07.log.html#t2019-08-07T03:09:10), we had agreed that you would let somebody else take up the Nova notification functionality. | |
| 05:52:56 | Sundar | I asked Xinran. It is too late in the cycle to ask for another contributor from the community. So I'll do the part myself. Thanks for your understanding. Looking forward to further contributions from you whenever you have the time. | |
| 06:36:02 | AJaeger | cyborg team, we moved api-ref documents, could you update a simple link, please? https://review.opendev.org/672771 | |
