18:47:17 mriedem new theory on http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/#1781710
18:47:28 mriedem members = set(spec_obj.instance_group.members) is empty by the time the filter runs
18:48:20 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: update tox venv env to install all requirements https://review.openstack.org/583336
18:50:14 sean-k-mooney mriedem: since you are still looking at that im assuming the fixed released status of the bug is incorrect?
18:50:22 mriedem correct
18:50:29 mriedem although i can't recreate it locally with a functional test
18:52:58 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Add regression test for bug 1781710 https://review.openstack.org/583339
18:53:00 mriedem ^
18:53:00 openstack bug 1781710 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "ServersOnMultiNodesTest.test_create_server_with_scheduler_hint_group_anti_affinity failing with "Servers are on the same host"" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1781710 - Assigned to Matt Riedemann (mriedem)
18:56:34 mriedem i think this might be causing problems https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/filters/affinity_filter.py#L98
18:57:22 mriedem actually it's something else
18:57:29 mriedem reqspec.instance_group.members is 0
18:58:29 sean-k-mooney on line 103
18:58:39 mriedem yes
18:58:48 mriedem but then i'm not sure why my functional regression test would be passing
18:58:58 mriedem b/c i've added a custom weigher which should put each instance on it's own host
19:00:04 sean-k-mooney well its anti afinity so is that not the desired result?
19:00:52 sean-k-mooney im just reading over the regression test code. i dont dig into the functional tests often
19:01:48 mriedem actually the thing in the api doesn't matter, because prior to scheduling, conductor calls setup_instance_group which gets the current group information from the db which should have the current members in it
19:01:52 mriedem before they get to the filter
19:04:25 sean-k-mooney my knoladge of multi create is a little less clear then it should be. all instace in the multicreate are part of the same api request. are all instance schduled indepently or does the schduler process the batch of instance as one request.
19:05:13 mriedem the scheduler processes the batch as one request,
19:05:21 mriedem and as a host is selected per instance,
19:05:46 mriedem the scheduler 'consumers' resources for the in-memory representation of that host,
19:05:51 mriedem then filters the hosts for the next instance in the list
19:06:44 mriedem which is why in my change here https://review.openstack.org/#/c/582976/ i'm mapping the instance to the selected host in its HostState.instances dict
19:07:00 mriedem which is used in the anti-affinity filter to determine which members of the group on a given host
19:07:04 sean-k-mooney right so for the second time true the anti afinity filter the instances = set(host_state.instances.keys()) line retrives the updated inmemory copy of the instance state not the current state
19:07:08 mriedem https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/filters/affinity_filter.py#L101
19:07:23 mriedem that's the idea
19:10:01 sean-k-mooney hum ya reading the code of that change it makes sense in that context.
19:14:22 mriedem i think this is the killer https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/filters/affinity_filter.py#L98
19:15:46 mriedem when we're doing multi-create, we have 1 request spec per instance, so in this failing test we have 2
19:15:47 sean-k-mooney checking if the instance uuid is already in the current host.
19:16:01 mriedem but the conductor just randomly picks the first request spec from the list when passing it to the scheduler,
19:16:07 mriedem and that request_spec has a random instance_uuid on it
19:16:33 mriedem so if i've got hosts A and B and instances X and Y, and using reqspec with instance X,
19:16:44 mriedem then go through host filtering and select host A for instance X,
19:17:03 mriedem when i go through host filtering for instance Y and host A, it will say: if spec_obj.instance_uuid in host_state.instances.keys():
19:17:05 sean-k-mooney oh realy should we not be looping over the requests specs in the multicreate request
19:17:15 mriedem if X in A.instances(): return True
19:17:35 mriedem the problem is when this code was added https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/filters/affinity_filter.py#L98 it assumes resize, which is a single instance,
19:17:57 mriedem and it worked because before https://review.openstack.org/#/c/571166/ the filter didn't look at host_state.instances within a multi-create create
19:18:08 mriedem s/look at/depend on/
19:19:02 mriedem i'm going to see if i can make this a predictable order through the scheduler to tickle the failure
19:23:46 sean-k-mooney ya so that looks wrong https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/039f7e055ee2b47e96be4e86d6f48d9ce469c123/nova/conductor/manager.py#L1191-L1194
19:24:05 sean-k-mooney its using the request spec from the first instance only
19:24:22 mriedem well, it's not wrong, it's just very brittle assumptions in the anti-affinity filter that didn't used to be a problem
19:24:38 sean-k-mooney fair point :)
19:27:47 sean-k-mooney i guess you do want to use only 1 request spec so that state is preseved across instances
19:28:22 mriedem well, things have just sort of been hacked in over time
19:28:38 mriedem reqspecs are 1:1 with instances,
19:28:50 mriedem but we're scheduling for a list of instances with the reqspec from the first one,
19:29:01 mriedem so any filter relying on reqspec.instance_uuid is out of context
19:29:07 mriedem for a multi-create scenario anyway
19:30:36 sean-k-mooney i wonder are there other edgecase there also. such as multi attach volumes that this would cause issues for
19:31:45 mriedem we currently don't support multi-create bfv with the same multiattach volume
19:31:52 mriedem nor do we do any filtering on volumes
19:32:16 mriedem but that's #1 here https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/rocky/approved/volume-multiattach-enhancements.html#problem-description
19:33:50 sean-k-mooney mriedem: ok just wondering if we will find more edgecase like this if we keep using the same request spec for all instance in the list
19:34:20 sean-k-mooney i could not think of one off the top of my head but multiattached volumes was the close thing that came to mind
19:35:07 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Merge server create for scheduler hint extension https://review.openstack.org/579067
19:35:27 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Fix "XLibvirt KVM (ppc64)" typo in feature support matrix docs https://review.openstack.org/583267
19:41:38 sean-k-mooney mriedem: we have the list of instance_uuids up untill we call self._get_sorted_hosts() here https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/1f0e2bef296d860e6875aa148d3a86629d872256/nova/scheduler/filter_scheduler.py#L190
19:42:10 sean-k-mooney mriedem: could we pass in the current instance uuid and feed it true the schduler
19:43:36 mriedem maybe,
19:43:40 sean-k-mooney we would basically have to set the sepc_obj.instance_uuid to instance_uuids[num]
19:43:45 mriedem i was just going to add a spec_obj.num_instances == 1 check to https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/filters/affinity_filter.py#L98,
19:44:07 mriedem but, num_instances is persisted across the request spec so it would be re-used on a resize to same host, which would break that logic,
19:44:30 mriedem num_instances should probably *not* be persisted since it's per-operatoin
19:45:45 sean-k-mooney ya i was going to say if we did that it would break on a rezie correct because it could resize to the same host wich is presumable whtat that check is ment to prevent
19:46:14 mriedem right that's what it was added for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/299045/
19:47:36 mriedem we do some things like reset force_hosts/force_nodes in the request spec during a move operation so it doesn't screw with the filtering
19:47:56 mriedem https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/conductor/tasks/migrate.py#L184
19:50:23 mriedem i remember making a similar type of fix for that recently but can't find the patch
19:52:10 mriedem oh it was something to do with failed hosts in the requestspec.retry
19:52:25 mriedem would prevent you from being able to later live migrate the instance to those hosts
19:52:58 mriedem https://review.openstack.org/#/c/559447/
19:55:05 mriedem num_instances is a bit different in that it's set in the api, persisted to the group in the api, and then conductor reads the group back out of the db and puts it in the request spec sent to the scheduler
19:55:20 mriedem we could just set num_instances in conductor since we know how many instances we're creating at that point

19:55:38 sean-k-mooney mriedem: does ^ make any sense
19:56:17 mriedem yeah but could make that cleaner with enumerate and resetting the instance_uuid field on the request spec so it's not persisted
19:56:31 mriedem i also don't know how to recreate this bug to show this fixes it
19:57:30 sean-k-mooney what about setting the allow server per host to 2 and only have one host?
19:57:38 sean-k-mooney not sure that would work actully...
19:59:17 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Add unshelve instance error info to fault table https://review.openstack.org/579747
20:02:47 sean-k-mooney anyway its time for me to log off for the day. ill try and think of a way to recreate tomorow.
20:03:44 mriedem ok i'll clean up this patch and add a test
20:03:56 mriedem but it'll just be unit test since i can't recreate with functional
