#openstack-nova - 2017-10-23
13:49:29 efried In the general case that could be a big list, but in reality I suppose it would probably be manageable.
13:50:04 alex_xu shrink the scope of all the branches by the sql, then filter the final branch in the code
13:50:49 alex_xu if we want to done everything in the sql, that will be super complex sql just like current we have, and only Jay know how to write a such sql :)
13:50:57 efried alex_xu cdent_ Here's the example from the spec discussion: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/497713/6/specs/queens/approved/add-trait-support-in-allocation-candidates.rst@42
13:53:37 alex_xu efried: I see
13:53:57 alex_xu not really propagation, but probably that is rule how we check each branch
13:54:04 cdent_ efried: yeah, I remember that. I think my issue isn’t so much with behavior as with terminology.
13:54:30 efried cdent_ We already spent a ton of emotional energy haggling over "propagate" vs "inherit".
13:54:36 cdent_ I agree that in the request example, you should get back a tree that includes the NUMA, and the compute node. that’s not quite the same as "hit"
13:55:20 efried cdent_ Well, in that context, "hit" means we actually got that candidate. As opposed to NOT getting that candidate because the NUMA RP doesn't have the CPU trait itself.
13:56:15 cdent_ there is a successful allocation candidate because numa is in a tree that has the trait
13:56:41 cdent_ which maybe is exactly the same thing as you are saying
13:57:02 efried cdent_ Yes, except not "in a tree".
13:57:22 cdent_ well, it is
13:57:24 efried cdent_ Has to be at or above the resource.
13:57:33 efried Yes, it's in the tree, but not *anywhere* in the tree.
13:57:42 cdent_ oh, yes “above"
13:57:49 efried e.g. if the "cousin" numa node had the trait, that wouldn't be acceptable.
13:58:27 efried Rewrite: if the "cousin" numa node had the trait (but the compute RP didn't), that wouldn't be acceptable. (We would get the cousin, in fact.)
13:58:31 cdent_ I think the thing I’m getting hung up on is that in my mind the code is doing a “look up to see if I’m good enough”
13:58:57 cdent_ but we keep talking about traits going down, and that just doesn’t say anything about the process
13:59:10 cdent_ but in the end I think we agree, so probably best I just let it lie
13:59:13 efried Where "good enough" includes both the notion of "has enough resources" and "has the right traits". And we're just talking about the second thing right now.
13:59:40 cdent_ because my mental model for how placement works is probably, uh, unique
14:00:16 efried I agree the process is where there be tygers, but we're not supposed to worry about how the SQL's gonna work :)
14:00:37 cdent_ except that’s the part that’s the hardest to understand :(
14:00:43 edleafe Scheduler subteam meeting starting now in #openstack-meeting-alt
14:01:19 efried cdent_ Totally agree.
14:02:09 jaypipes efried: not just the cousin. the brother/sister.
14:02:30 efried jaypipes Yes, right.
14:02:49 efried Or even second cousins once removed.
14:02:55 stephenfin artom: What do you mean by the third comment here? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/345399/29/nova/tests/unit/console/securityproxy/test_rfb.py
14:03:03 efried Basically anything that ain't self or direct ancestor
14:03:51 cdent_ yeah, I think we all agree on that aspect
14:06:05 dtantsur efried, cdent, I'll send the doodle to the ML, will cc you, jaypipes and johnthetubaguy
14:06:17 cdent thanks dtantsur
14:06:20 efried dtantsur Thanks!
14:06:40 johnthetubaguy efried: should I re-read the scroll back?
14:06:52 efried johnthetubaguy No, just the ML.
14:06:56 johnthetubaguy OK
14:16:23 artom stephenfin, dammit, your different upstream/downstream nicks confuse me
14:16:43 artom stephenfin, to answer your question, \x04blah means, IIRC, reason-length of 4 bytes, then 'blah' is the reason length
14:17:31 artom I was suggesting we test reason-lengths different to 4, since both test_fail and test_fail_server_message have the same content
14:17:43 artom ... with a reason-length of 4
14:18:48 artom Or, have a unit test just for _make_var_str, which is what transforms 'blah' into the '\x04blah' that you send over the wire
14:19:03 artom And test it with at least 2 different reason-lengths
14:19:33 artom Obviously not a massive deal
14:19:42 artom Just seems more thorough :)
14:20:15 artom Err, in my second line, 'blah' is the reason, not reason length
14:20:44 efried johnthetubaguy In the scheduler meeting (#openstack-meeting-alt) there's about to be a discussion of whether you can remove a trait on a RP that has allocations - your interest is via https://review.openstack.org/#/c/504531/8/specs/approved/node-traits.rst@86
14:36:01 alex_xu jaypipes: I try to refactor the alllocaion candidates in implement the traits support https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branch:master+topic:bp/add-trait-support-in-allocation-candidates, appreciate if you can give some feedback on the direction
14:39:17 openstackgerrit Jan Zerebecki proposed openstack/nova master: Only log not correcting allocation once per period https://review.openstack.org/508262
14:40:57 johnthetubaguy efried: did you cover that?
14:41:11 efried johnthetubaguy Not yet.
14:43:45 openstackgerrit Kashyap Chamarthy proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Don't disregard cache mode for instance boot disks https://review.openstack.org/514339
15:01:10 cdent jaypipes: on the link state thing, we don’t want to kill an entire compute service for one pf do we?
15:01:42 jaypipes alex_xu: yes, will try to review that whole series today. I'm doing new hire stuff and meetings today and tomorrow, though, so reviews will be slwo
15:01:44 jaypipes slow
15:02:08 alex_xu cdent: jaypipes edleafe efried, the trait spec said the provider summary of the allocation candidates API response includes all the traits in that rp, not only the required. For the resources in the response, the current implementation is only include the requested resources, is that we expected? or it is bug
15:02:18 jaypipes sean-k-mooney: and yes, I definitely saw you mention "hardware-defined software" on the ML. :)
15:02:25 alex_xu jaypipes: thanks
15:02:50 cdent alex_xu: sounds like bug
15:02:52 jaypipes alex_xu: probably a bug
15:02:57 jaypipes jinx :)
15:02:57 efried alex_xu In the provider summary or in the allocation_requests ?
15:03:01 cdent the provider summary should be “the provider"
15:03:06 alex_xu efried: yea
15:03:19 dtantsur cdent, jaypipes, johnthetubaguy, efried, https://doodle.com/poll/ts43k98kkvniv8uz (sorry, forgot to cc you)
15:03:29 jaypipes cdent: right, but there;'s a dict of resources in the provider summary showing remaining capacity for inventories that provider has.
15:03:49 jaypipes cdent: this was requested for weighers that want to sort based on remaining inventory capacity.
15:03:58 alex_xu ok...it is bug, then I need some change in my refactor patch
15:04:20 efried Why is it a problem if the remaining capacity is included for classes that weren't claimed?
15:04:23 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Move shred to privsep. https://review.openstack.org/495537
15:04:31 cdent jaypipes: i wasn’t meaning to be exclusive, rather that the entire provider should be reprsented (plus whatever else)
15:04:35 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Move xend existence probes to privsep. https://review.openstack.org/495538
15:05:21 jaypipes dtantsur: done
15:05:47 jaypipes efried: I don't think it is. I think it was probabl jjst an oversight
15:05:54 jaypipes god damnb this mac keyboard... :(
15:06:06 efried jaypipes Which part is an oversight?
15:06:16 efried jaypipes Including the extra RCs or excluding them?
15:06:29 jaypipes efried: that the provider summary for a provider only includes resources that were requested and not all resources the provider had
15:06:36 efried jaypipes Which way are we saying it's *supposed* to be?
15:07:00 efried That it should include *all* of them, I guess. I agree with that.
15:07:59 cdent efried: yes, all
15:08:04 efried ++
15:08:25 edleafe efried: cdent: of what use do you see non-requested resources in the provider_summary?
15:08:30 alex_xu jinx means a person bring bad luck?
15:09:00 jaypipes efried: yeah, sohuld include all the inventories, not just the ones for requested resources
15:09:06 cdent alex_xu: that’s one meaning, but the meaning we are using is “you said something at the same time as me”
15:09:08 efried alex_xu Heh, not in this context. It's a silly game kids play: when two people say the same thing at the same time, the first one to say "jinx" "wins"
15:09:35 efried alex_xu There's various penalties for "losing". The one I grew up with was that the "loser" has to remain silent until you say their name.
15:09:36 cdent in the real version of the game the loser can’t speak for some amount of time
15:09:40 cdent jinx!
15:09:54 cdent let’s efried off the hook
15:10:07 efried alex_xu Another one I've heard of is that the "winner" gets to punch the "loser" until the loser recites some incantation.
15:10:29 efried "Jinx poke, you owe me a coke, times onetwothreefourfive...."
15:10:46 cdent edleafe: the provider summary, as I understand it, is supposed to list the resource providers in a complete. From what’s there we should be able to conceptualize what the resource provider providers, not just what we are using from it
15:10:57 cdent whether that is of use or not is unclear
15:11:19 dansmith alex_xu: in case you're wondering, seeing it spelled out in writing like we just have makes it sound even dumber than it normally does
15:11:21 cdent s/, not/are, not/
