14:24:02 mriedem i.e. if you don't have nova.conf [neutron] configured correctly
14:24:37 mriedem would have to dig back through the git history of time to find out how they changed sean's mind
14:24:42 dansmith so the place I'm seeing this is in instance delete,
14:24:48 dansmith which is failing and breaking the instance state
14:25:10 johnthetubaguy which instance delete path?
14:25:37 dansmith from compute manager while deallocating network
14:26:00 johnthetubaguy oh, it takes a while, so gives the token plenty time to have timed out?
14:26:05 mriedem johnthetubaguy: looks like this is our fault https://review.openstack.org/#/c/312014/
14:26:30 johnthetubaguy mriedem: I probably should have expected that
14:27:04 mriedem https://review.openstack.org/#/c/312014/14/nova/network/neutronv2/api.py
14:27:41 dansmith johnthetubaguy: I dunno why it fails, it's from heat so heat might've gotten its token a long time ago or something
14:28:24 johnthetubaguy dansmith: might be the trust based token has a shorter lifetime
14:29:08 johnthetubaguy dansmith: the more general fix for this has merged already of course, you configure a service token to stop that expiry happening
14:29:44 dansmith yeah
14:30:02 dansmith can't backport that though
14:31:10 johnthetubaguy so us triggering a 401 just changes the error code from 400, rather than make the delete work?
14:31:16 johnthetubaguy or is this something deeper?
14:31:31 johnthetubaguy heat does a retry, which fixes things?
14:33:20 dansmith no, the instance is state locked at that point for some reason
14:33:26 dansmith like, you can't retry the delete
14:33:32 dansmith have to get more details on why
14:33:53 dansmith anyway, my point is, I don't think that fixing what is in that patch actually helps me out of the box
14:34:19 dansmith I'm guessing it's still task_state=deleting or something
14:34:57 johnthetubaguy ah, dang
14:35:31 johnthetubaguy would have to rollback the task state, I guess the instance might go into the ERROR state (or should)
14:39:57 mriedem dansmith: the service token thing is in ocata
14:39:58 mriedem for neutron
14:40:32 mriedem unless you're talking about backporting to like, kilo
14:40:40 dansmith johnthetubaguy: looks like it goes into error, but maybe not resetting the task_state or something
14:40:48 dansmith mriedem: yeah, before ocata I think
14:41:13 mriedem failures in terminate_instance in the compute manager would hit @reverts_task_state
14:42:37 dansmith should, yeah, which is why I'm asking for detail from the bug filer
14:43:18 dansmith it might be that heat just doesn't handle the failure but the instance is actually delete-able, which is what I'm trying to find out
14:44:39 mriedem ha, reading jay's 2nd set of slides, disk_available_least, that's fun
14:44:44 mriedem compute.free_disk_gb
14:44:49 mriedem compute.disk_available_least
14:44:51 mriedem duh
14:45:30 openstackgerrit melanie witt proposed openstack/nova master: Fix unit test exception KeyErrors https://review.openstack.org/462764
14:45:31 openstackgerrit melanie witt proposed openstack/nova master: Make NovaException format errors fatal for tests https://review.openstack.org/411615
14:56:11 bauzas hah, jay isn't around and I have a question for him https://review.openstack.org/#/c/460798/6
14:58:44 cdent bauzas: there's been discussion of that in the comments on the earlier patches
14:58:58 cdent the basic answer is that the code is going to evolve to one query over a series of patches
14:59:04 cdent (including traits)
14:59:43 cdent bauzas: in other words, it's important to read all the comments on all the patchsets in the entire stack to get a good idea of what's going on
14:59:49 cdent that's a pain, but that's how it is
14:59:50 bauzas cdent: I see PS2 comments
15:00:07 cdent yeah, look elsewhere in the stack too
15:00:32 cdent I had the same concerns and got rather confused because I was expecting things to be more complete in one patch, but that's not the path being taken
15:01:37 bauzas cdent: okay, I just think he missed a verification
15:01:54 bauzas cdent: about returning RPs having all the RCs
15:02:08 cdent yeah, that maybe, but some of the verification is intentionally being done later
15:02:12 cdent (in the stack)
15:02:16 bauzas that's the problem when you duplicate code
15:02:26 cdent yes, my complaint exactly
15:02:27 bauzas you reintroduce bugs
15:02:32 cdent but jay's aware of it
15:09:14 openstackgerrit Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: De-complicate some of the instance delete path https://review.openstack.org/458636
15:09:15 openstackgerrit Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: Move to proper target_cell calling convention https://review.openstack.org/458634
15:09:19 openstackgerrit Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: DNM: Canary test against multi-cell devstack https://review.openstack.org/458537
15:09:19 openstackgerrit Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: Make target_cell() yield a new context https://review.openstack.org/458635
15:12:06 bauzas cdent: okay confirmed that we need the HAVING count() for RCs, because we could return RPs not having the asked RC in their inventories
15:12:37 cdent mriedem, jroll: have we lost jroll on this https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/custom-resource-classes-in-flavors or is he staying in view?
15:14:36 mriedem cdent: jay owns it now
15:14:39 melwitt mriedem, dansmith, johnthetubaguy: did anyone want to do a hangout to get an overview of the quotas patches to help make review easier?
15:14:52 cdent thanks mriedem
15:15:20 mriedem melwitt: i probably could in awhile, but wanted to get started on this chinese business visa paperwork before leaving for a week
15:15:28 mriedem b/c i imagine this is going to be worse than reviewing those quotas patches :)
15:16:09 melwitt heh, okay
15:18:54 openstackgerrit Roman Podoliaka proposed openstack/nova master: neutron: re-raise 401 for a non-admin client https://review.openstack.org/422696
15:22:27 bauzas cdent: FWIW, I tried to explain the problem with the current method only accepting one RC
15:22:57 bauzas of course, we can merge that change as it is, but I think it will probably need some modifications later
15:23:00 bauzas dansmith: ^
15:24:12 cdent "needing some modification later" is what I was trying to explain above. That's expected.
15:24:37 dansmith bauzas: tbh, I'm not sure I see a ton of value in complicating these methods, which are effectively wrappers around sql statements, with lots of conditional behavior
15:25:08 bauzas dansmith: the problem is not with that method, the problem is that that method executes the code
15:25:32 dansmith um, what?
15:25:46 bauzas dansmith: I tried to explain the problem in the last comment
15:25:47 dansmith executing code is usually what I'm looking for when shopping for a method
15:26:08 dansmith I've read your comments
15:26:11 bauzas dansmith: say that I want to ask placement for two resource amounts, each of them being for a specific RC
15:26:44 bauzas then I would need to verify both RCs separately, instead of using the DBRM execution plan to make my single query faster
15:27:02 bauzas and we *already* do that
15:27:18 bauzas the SQL statement is just below
15:27:47 bauzas also, the provided test is frankly positive
15:27:58 bauzas it's just expecting something correct
15:28:34 bauzas I'd rather be interested to verify negative things, like having a shared RP that doesn't have enough disk
15:28:54 bauzas ideally, two shared RPs, one having allocations
15:29:01 cdent bauzas: there are some tests like that later in the stack
15:29:17 cdent but yes, having them not with the actual code change is a bit disconcerting
15:29:39 bauzas that's what we ask when reviewing
15:30:04 figleaf What's the point of testing behavior that you know is wrong/incomplete?
15:30:27 cdent fair point
15:30:36 cdent but what's the point of merging code that you know is wrong/incomplete?
15:30:44 cdent I thought changes were supposed to be atomic?
15:31:01 cdent (I don't agree with that position, but I thought that was what was expected)
15:31:26 bauzas figleaf: you're kidding, hopefully ?
15:31:27 figleaf cdent: well, I agree with that. I always thought that the imperative to keep changes small was taken too seriously
15:31:36 figleaf bauzas: no
15:31:50 bauzas I probably misunderstood your question then
15:32:13 figleaf If you are coding something that you a) know is not correct and b) plan on changing in the dependent patch, the test should be with the code that makes it work
