#openstack-nova - 2018-03-16
15:23:27 fried_rice cdent: Do you feel as though that's pointless unnecessary busywork? Me, I'd like to be able to search on the topic and get the list of all the patches associated with the effort. And having the LP bot collate them in the bp whiteboard, also useful.
15:23:59 fried_rice cdent: I can do it if you like. Shouldn't be a big effort, eh?
15:24:20 superdan johnthetubaguy: oh yeah I think we do, hopefully we haven't merged any yet?
15:24:31 superdan johnthetubaguy: I can do it, I usually do
15:24:58 cdent fried_rice: I can see how it useful, so happy to do it, since I need to go in there anyway for something else. But because of the amount of searching I do to create the weekly report, I tend not to be very topic oriented (despite using the urls all the time), so it's not something that immediately leaps to mind for me
15:25:01 superdan mriedem: ^
15:25:27 fried_rice cdent: Gotcha.
15:25:36 mriedem i don't think we've merged any db migrations in rocky yet, but checking
15:26:07 mriedem nope we're good
15:26:18 superdan mriedem: will do it after this call
15:28:40 johnthetubaguy superdan: sweet thanks, just spotted a change doing a migration, and it made me stop and think
15:28:52 superdan johnthetubaguy: yeah, thanks
15:29:56 openstackgerrit Jay Pipes proposed openstack/nova-specs master: mirror nova host aggregates to placement API https://review.openstack.org/545057
15:30:24 leakypipes superdan, mriedem, bauzas, gibi, alex_xu_, figleaf: ^^ reworked mirroring spec.
15:32:51 kashyap mriedem: Was looking up the scroll this morning; about increasing timeouts due to QEMU / libvirt updates
15:32:57 kashyap https://review.openstack.org/#/c/547676/
15:33:18 kashyap Even clarkb (not on this channel now) also reported at PTG having to increase tests' timeouts
15:33:54 kashyap I think it must probably be the QEMU / libvirt slowdown after the Meltdown / Spectre fixes. /me goes to check w/ the libvirt folks
15:36:39 openstackgerrit Surya Seetharaman proposed openstack/nova stable/pike: Unmap compute nodes when deleting host mappings in delete cell operation https://review.openstack.org/553829
15:37:46 openstackgerrit Surya Seetharaman proposed openstack/nova stable/pike: Unmap compute nodes when deleting host mappings in delete cell operation https://review.openstack.org/553829
15:41:27 mriedem kashyap: yes mnaser already confirmed that
15:41:51 kashyap mriedem: I struggle to believe the libvirtd dameon _itself_ taking 1 _whole_ minute!
15:42:00 kashyap mriedem: I'm checking w/ the Red Hat perf team to see if they have any numbers on this
15:42:02 mriedem libvirt/qemu in the ocata UCA got updates and has to great a guest on first start to scan cpu features, which is not something newer libvirt in the pike UCA has to do
15:42:13 mriedem *create
15:42:22 mriedem https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cloud-archive/+archive/ubuntu/ocata-staging/+sourcepub/8774271/+listing-archive-extra
15:42:24 kashyap I know, they ship with new CPU models, all ending with "*-IBRS"
15:42:45 openstackgerrit Surya Seetharaman proposed openstack/nova stable/pike: Unmap compute nodes when deleting host mappings in delete cell operation https://review.openstack.org/553829
15:42:59 kashyap (Yep, very familiar w/ those updates for a couple of months already. As I had to apply to a bunch of Fedora / RHEL machines)
15:45:02 kashyap This additional slow down even bolsters the case for the couple of Cloud Providers to enable nested virt in the Gate.
15:45:23 kashyap Upstream KVM maintainer said he's going to enable it for Intel by default in the upstream kernel.
15:46:19 kashyap ClarkB, myself and a bunch of others participated in a discussion with the Cloud Providers at PTG, some cloud providers (OVH) seemed amenable to that.
15:46:24 kashyap Let's see...
15:47:42 fried_rice figleaf: Reviewed. Nothing blocking :)
15:48:17 fried_rice figleaf: Are you still -1 on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553476/ for the name of that article, having read my excellent excuses?
15:48:54 mriedem volume test issues in the gate should be flushed once https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553794/ merges
15:49:21 jgwentworth woot, thanks
15:49:25 openstackgerrit Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: Add placeholder migrations for Queens backports https://review.openstack.org/553831
15:49:27 superdan mriedem: johnthetubaguy ^
15:49:56 mriedem superdan: aren't there some tests that you need to modify for the placeholder range?
15:50:07 superdan mriedem: um, no, jeez
15:50:08 superdan (yes)
15:51:03 cfriesen kashyap: for what it's worth, I haven't had good experiences with stability of nested KVM with CentOS 7.3.
15:51:21 figleaf fried_rice: yes, 'upt' is much too cryptic
15:51:23 kashyap cfriesen: Got a link to the bugs you've filed? :-)
15:51:41 kashyap cfriesen: More seriously, some Cloud Providers in the room themselves said it was stable in their environments
15:51:52 fried_rice figleaf: Having noticed your # noqa hack, I guess I can make it work with a longer name, eh?
15:51:58 cfriesen kashyap: heh...nothing useful to report, just random intermittent crashes of the first-level guest.
15:52:01 kashyap cfriesen: The cardinal rule here is to try with latest CentOS (stable 7.4)
15:52:20 kashyap cfriesen: I used to track all the bugs I reported for nested virt upstream, a year or so ago: https://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/kernel-kvm-bugs.txt
15:52:26 kashyap All of them fixed now
15:52:41 cfriesen cool, will have to give it a try with 7.4
15:53:08 kashyap cfriesen: But, one of the blocking points is the migration of the L1 guest (with the mere presence of L2 in it; it doesn't even have to run). And upstream is working on it as we speak
15:53:11 fried_rice mriedem: What am I tracking for these volume failures to be resolved before I clog the gate with more rechecks?
15:53:18 kashyap cfriesen: s/one of the/the only/
15:53:37 cfriesen kashyap: live migration I assume?
15:53:53 fried_rice mriedem: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553794/ ?
15:53:59 kashyap cfriesen: Yep, live migrating L1 (while L2 is in it; online or offline)
15:54:32 figleaf fried_rice: you don't have to make it *that* long!
15:55:03 fried_rice figleaf: update-provider-tree will push me over 80. Anything else doesn't really make sense. upd-prov-tree? Ew.
15:55:33 mriedem fried_rice: yes, as noted above
15:55:39 mriedem "(10:48:59 AM) mriedem: volume test issues in the gate should be flushed once https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553794/ merges"
15:55:44 fried_rice mriedem: oh, see it now, thx
15:56:46 openstackgerrit Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: Add placeholder migrations for Queens backports https://review.openstack.org/553831
15:57:36 fried_rice figleaf: Looks like your gabbi has some failures?
15:58:08 fried_rice figleaf: Oh, because now you have to send a dict-with-generation to set aggregates :)
15:58:43 figleaf fried_rice: saw that. Working on it
16:00:17 fried_rice figleaf: Added helpful link
16:00:30 fried_rice (not that you needed it)
16:06:45 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: update_provider_tree devref and docstring updates https://review.openstack.org/553476
16:06:56 fried_rice figleaf: Done ^
16:10:44 superdan fried_rice: okay, so I get that you're hitting your peak on review efficiency and finding issues,
16:10:56 superdan fried_rice: but that should fall short of finding issues in things I need to get merged
16:11:18 fried_rice superdan: Send me that list. See where it gets ya.
16:11:24 superdan heh
16:11:40 fried_rice superdan: Are you talking about the member_of thing?
16:11:44 superdan yeah :)
16:11:48 fried_rice zuul had me beat on that one.
16:12:00 fried_rice I'll have to try harder.
16:12:07 superdan that was already approved, but failed the gate, now -1d
16:12:17 superdan I'm not serious, of course, I'm glad you found stuff
16:12:32 fried_rice yeah, the rebase needed to take into account the functionality of the thing it got rebased against.
16:12:46 fried_rice TBH, I shoulda seen that on my first pass.
16:12:48 superdan is this the microversion you two were racing for?
16:13:47 superdan stackalytics should discount reviews where you're clearly taking shots at someone else to win a version race :P
16:15:18 cdent reviewers should discount stackalytics
16:15:46 superdan s/reviewers/everyone/
16:16:45 cdent superdan: I was trying to (quickly) come up with a regexp on your statement but I got lazy and instead printed the output. (meaning, yes, I agree)
16:17:44 superdan heh
16:18:37 figleaf superdan: it was losing the microversion race that made the member_of patch fail. For once, can't blame fried_rice
16:18:48 superdan figleaf: ah
16:19:41 superdan 1.21 is a better microversion anyway
16:19:49 fried_rice It can drink
16:20:03 fried_rice (wheat, unfiltered IIRC)
16:32:28 openstackgerrit Ed Leafe proposed openstack/nova master: Add 'member_of' param to GET /allocation_candidates https://review.openstack.org/552098
16:32:36 figleaf leakypipes: superdan: fried_rice: ^^ func tests fixed
16:33:04 figleaf Had to resort to the gabbi HISTORY stuff, since I couldn't assume generation=0
16:33:22 figleaf Besides, we're not supposed to assume that, right? :)
16:48:33 fried_rice figleaf: Ideally you should get it from the RP creation. I did that in a couple of places in my other patch. It's a PITA in gabbi. (Not such a problem in real code.)
16:48:51 fried_rice FWIW, I wouldn't -1 hardcoded generation numbers in a gabbi test.
