| 08:52:05 | gibi | but scheduler coexists with all the others so I don't know how to ensure that the consumer the scheduler uses are not modified by other sources | |
| 08:52:40 | gibi | if scheduler would only ever create a new consumer during claim then it would be easier | |
| 08:52:51 | cdent | indeed | |
| 08:53:01 | gibi | due to evacuate it is not the case today | |
| 08:53:23 | cdent | but in the (presumably rare) cases where it doesn't the only real option we have is to get the existing allocations and do some kind of merge or choose to clobber | |
| 08:53:24 | gibi | there is an item in the PTG etherpad to 'fix' evacuate | |
| 08:54:01 | cdent | _move_operation_alloc_request is the code that is supposed to handle that sort of thing, but may not be mature enough of for nested and shared | |
| 08:55:45 | cdent | I think (or perhaps just hope) that we have a chance here to keep the happy path relatively smooth. I hope for that because we keep talking about how we want the claim stage to be as fast and unencumbered as possible. | |
| 08:55:46 | gibi | cdent: I agree that in case of non-forced evac when the scheduler claims on the target host we cannot do anything else just read the generation from placement. I will try to be really explicit in my patch about the different cases. | |
| 08:56:59 | cdent | tetsuro: you have anything to add to all that ^ | |
| 08:57:42 | gibi | cdent: I share your hope. My bad feeling is about our assumption that I can identify the happy path unambigously | |
| 08:58:01 | openstackgerrit | Radoslav Gerganov proposed openstack/nova master: doc: add missing permission for the vCenter service account https://review.openstack.org/585683 | |
| 08:58:40 | cdent | that we can't should be considered a bug ;) | |
| 09:00:15 | gibi | cdent: I guess I need to lower my expectations about my ability to cover every cases at once in my patch and let a bug born if it needs to be born | |
| 09:00:56 | cdent | yeah, I think that's going to be the case for a lot of this stuff because it's so hard to see clearly how things work | |
| 09:01:11 | cdent | And bugs are _good_. They give people a clear way to contribute. | |
| 09:02:03 | gibi | cdent: I thikn _these_ possible bugs will give a clear message for new contributors not to touch nova ;) | |
| 09:02:41 | cdent | I don't know, I think we misunderstand the mechanics of why people choose or choose not to contribute | |
| 09:02:59 | cdent | So often with nova if you want to contribute you have to spend 4 years understanding things | |
| 09:03:09 | cdent | there are few easy entries | |
| 09:03:23 | cdent | plenty of people are using nova because they have to and would like to be able to make it better | |
| 09:03:58 | cdent | but are put off | |
| 09:04:00 | gibi | cdent: you are right, I should not generalize to all new contributors as I don't know their motives. | |
| 09:04:59 | gibi | cdent: what I wanted to say that I think these bugs will be scary even for me after 4 years of nova | |
| 09:05:10 | cdent | :) | |
| 09:05:37 | cdent | It's easier to fix them after they happen then it is easy to guess when they might happen? | |
| 09:07:33 | gibi | cdent: yeah I agree about cost of guessing is bigger. But I also don't know the seriosuness of the effect of these unknown bugs on a live deployment | |
| 09:09:18 | gibi | cdent: anyhow I think I hear you and understand you to move forward with the happy path | |
| 09:09:24 | gibi | cdent: and I think that is reasonable | |
| 09:40:44 | openstackgerrit | sean mooney proposed openstack/os-vif master: add fuctional test for os-vif init https://review.openstack.org/585693 | |
| 09:41:20 | openstackgerrit | Rajesh Tailor proposed openstack/nova stable/queens: Make host_aggregate_map dictionary case-insensitive https://review.openstack.org/585334 | |
| 09:43:41 | openstackgerrit | Rajesh Tailor proposed openstack/nova stable/pike: Make host_aggregate_map dictionary case-insensitive https://review.openstack.org/585335 | |
| 09:45:55 | sean-k-mooney | mriedem: melwitt i have added a fuctionl test https://review.openstack.org/#/c/585693/ to try and reproduce the error in https://bit.ly/2v0ueZp but at least locally it looks like it should work as is. | |
| 09:46:00 | openstackgerrit | Rajesh Tailor proposed openstack/nova master: Fix case-sensitivity for metadata keys https://review.openstack.org/504885 | |
| 10:30:25 | openstackgerrit | Lenny Verkhovsky proposed openstack/nova master: WIP workaround for RHEL7.5 qemu 2.0 https://review.openstack.org/577280 | |
| 10:37:36 | openstackgerrit | Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: Functional test for booting with nested resources https://review.openstack.org/527728 | |
| 10:38:46 | mdbooth | kashyap: My +1 to sahid's suggestions was before the subsequent discussion. I'll defer to that discussion. | |
| 10:38:58 | kashyap | mdbooth: Hi | |
| 10:40:13 | kashyap | mdbooth: So, you mean: you are OK with moving to guest.migrate() can be done as a separate patch? | |
| 10:40:48 | mdbooth | kashyap: I think moving to guest.migrate() is better, but if you discussed that already and decided to put it in a later change I'm ok with that. | |
| 10:41:01 | kashyap | mdbooth: Yeah, we discussed it, and will do it later | |
| 10:41:11 | kashyap | As I am dealing with too much churn in this change | |
| 10:41:15 | mdbooth | kashyap: That is, I don't mind what colour you paint the bike shed :) | |
| 10:41:29 | kashyap | I'd like to get it done before I head out for 2 weeks starting 01-Aug | |
| 10:41:35 | kashyap | mdbooth: Hehe, nod | |
| 10:41:41 | kashyap | Thanks for looking, BTW! | |
| 10:42:24 | kashyap | mdbooth: About the "parallels" question: it seems alright to me, but I'll go over carefully again | |
| 10:43:00 | mdbooth | kashyap: Ack. Specifically, is it ok to call migrateToURI3() without that parameter? | |
| 10:43:11 | mdbooth | I don't know the answer, btw, just worth checking. | |
| 10:43:24 | kashyap | mdbooth: Without 'destination_xml', you mean? | |
| 10:43:32 | kashyap | Yeah, I'll see | |
| 10:45:14 | kashyap | mdbooth: Right now debugging the test failure from hell: nova.tests.unit.virt.test_virt_drivers.LibvirtConnTestCase.test_live_migration | |
| 10:45:39 | kashyap | Once I'm done w/ it, will look | |
| 10:50:23 | kashyap | stephenfin: LOL | |
| 10:50:41 | kashyap | I'm dealing with a bloody obtuse stubbing failure for 2 hours! | |
| 10:50:55 | stephenfin | kashyap: Try 3 days :( | |
| 10:50:59 | kashyap | The here is incredibly dense; sheesh | |
| 10:51:05 | kashyap | stephenfin: I lied to you | |
| 10:51:14 | kashyap | 2 hours only today | |
| 10:51:21 | kashyap | I spent yesterday & day before too | |
| 10:51:34 | kashyap | After all this debugging, realized the fix is "simple" :-( | |
| 10:51:59 | mdbooth | stephenfin: stub -> simulator. simulators are also really useful, just not as simple. | |
| 10:57:06 | stephenfin | mdbooth: I think that's what I'm writing. God damn neutron | |
| 11:01:14 | kashyap | mdbooth: Got a minute? Does this stub look OK to you: | |
| 11:01:15 | kashyap | 137 migrate_disks=None, destination_xml=None, flags=0, | |
| 11:01:15 | kashyap | 136 lambda self, destination, migrate_uri=None, | |
| 11:01:15 | kashyap | 135 self.stub_out('nova.virt.libvirt.guest.Guest.migrate', | |
| 11:01:18 | kashyap | 138 bandwidth: None) | |
| 11:01:24 | kashyap | (That's from nova/tests/unit/virt/test_virt_drivers.py) | |
| 11:02:45 | mdbooth | kashyap: No, because bandwidth doesn't have a default, and comes after args with defaults. | |
| 11:02:58 | kashyap | mdbooth: Ah | |
| 11:03:01 | mdbooth | Is there any other reason it might not be ok? | |
| 11:03:45 | mdbooth | kashyap: Also, you could probably just mock it. | |
| 11:03:51 | kashyap | mdbooth: What do I give 'bandwidth' then? | |
| 11:03:53 | kashyap | Hmm | |
| 11:04:07 | mdbooth | kashyap: Doesn't matter, because you're not going to use it anyway. | |
| 11:04:32 | kashyap | mdbooth: Ah, this works! | |
| 11:04:33 | kashyap | bandwith=0: None | |
| 11:04:42 | mdbooth | self.useFixture(fixtures.MockPatch('nova.virt.libvirt.guest.Guest', 'migrate')) | |
| 11:04:48 | kashyap | In summary: | |
| 11:04:49 | kashyap | self.stub_out('nova.virt.libvirt.guest.Guest.migrate', | |
| 11:04:51 | kashyap | mdbooth: How about the above? | |
| 11:04:51 | kashyap | bandwidth=0: None) | |
| 11:04:51 | kashyap | migrate_disks=None, destination_xml=None, flags=0, | |
| 11:04:51 | kashyap | lambda self, destination, migrate_uri=None, | |
| 11:04:52 | mdbooth | foo=^^^ | |
| 11:04:57 | mdbooth | foo.return_value=None | |
| 11:05:16 | mdbooth | kashyap: Looks syntactically correct, at least. | |
| 11:05:40 | kashyap | Yeah, it is! | |
| 11:05:43 | openstackgerrit | Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: Assorted cleanups from numa-aware-vswitches series https://review.openstack.org/582651 | |
| 11:05:44 | openstackgerrit | Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Add functional tests for rebuild with NUMA networks https://review.openstack.org/585385 | |
| 11:05:44 | kashyap | And the test from hell passes!~ | |
| 11:06:20 | mdbooth | \o/ | |
| 11:06:37 | stephenfin | mdbooth: If you have time, fancy taking a look at ^ to see if I'm missing anything really obvious? | |
| 11:06:51 | stephenfin | I'm seeing "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'vif'" but I've no idea why | |
| 11:06:54 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: i was just going to ask you about the functional tests | |
| 11:07:17 | sean-k-mooney | do you want me to pull them down and step through them more or did you get them to work? | |
| 11:07:25 | stephenfin | Thought it was a namespace conflict (mocking "objects" or something) but I renamed the import to no effect. Can't find any global mocks or anything | |
| 11:07:30 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: That'd be great | |
| 11:07:38 | stephenfin | I've got it to the point where it's attempting to plug | |
