#openstack-nova - 2018-09-25
15:35:53 imacdonn kashyap: I already responded on the ops list: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-operators/2018-September/015931.html
15:36:13 cfriesen mdbooth: what's the story on the functional test failures for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/578846/ ?
15:36:19 kashyap imacdonn: Most excellent. I missed to notice it
15:37:01 mdbooth cfriesen: It's in a parent commit. Working on it.
15:37:16 mdbooth cfriesen: I'm getting sucked into fixing all the things again :/
15:39:30 mdbooth gibi: In ComputeManager and ComputeAPI, is self.notifier always a legacy notifier?
15:40:29 kashyap imacdonn: So, no problem with the chosen future versions. Thanks for confirming!
15:43:11 imacdonn kashyap: np
15:43:50 mdbooth gibi: Oh, this one looks like it might be an actual bug
15:44:33 openstack Launchpad bug 1732199 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "test_extend_attached_volume fails with Unexpected compute_extend_volume result 'Error'" [Medium,Confirmed]
15:44:33 imacdonn mriedem: not sure if you're following the bug or not - (I believe) I figured out what's causing that volume extend intermittent failure - https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1732199
15:44:56 mdbooth gibi: If an instance is deleted locally by compute api, it only sends an unversioned delete.end, whereas a proper delete by compute manager sends both
15:45:08 imacdonn mriedem: prob should discuss in #openstack-cinder I suppose
15:46:56 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova stable/queens: Skip ServerActionsTestJSON.test_rebuild_server for cells v1 job https://review.openstack.org/605115
15:54:35 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Add spec for sriov live migration https://review.openstack.org/605116
15:56:49 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: consumer gen: move_allocations https://review.openstack.org/591810
16:18:44 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Raise error on timeout in wait_for_versioned_notifications https://review.openstack.org/604859
16:21:00 mdbooth gibi: Please could you have a look at ^^^. It contains a fix to non-test code. The problem is a call to _delete_and_check_allocations() in a test.
16:21:20 mdbooth The problem is it results in a local delete, which only currently emits a legacy notification, which I suspect is a real bug.
16:22:10 mdbooth I'd vastly prefer not to fix that in this change.
16:22:20 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova stable/rocky: Explicitly fail if trying to attach SR-IOV port https://review.openstack.org/605118
16:43:08 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Consumer gen support for delete instance allocations https://review.openstack.org/591597
16:43:19 melwitt .
16:44:02 mriedem blarg, you can't instance.create() from one cell to another b/c _from_db_object resets the fields and instance.create() only saves what fields are changed
17:08:44 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Raise error on timeout in wait_for_versioned_notifications https://review.openstack.org/604859
17:08:46 mdbooth gibi: nm, took it out ^^^
17:09:00 mdbooth Just have to wait on an unversioned notification instead
17:15:59 openstackgerrit melanie witt proposed openstack/nova master: Restore nova-consoleauth to install docs https://review.openstack.org/605154
17:19:40 melwitt mriedem: in the lp bug, you also mentioned adding a warning about the deprecation of nova-consoleauth. did you have a place for the warning in mind in the install guides? ^
17:20:55 mdbooth Is it a bug that the api node only emits a legacy notification on local delete, but a full delete emits both?
17:21:09 mdbooth Sounds like a bug, but notifications aren't my thing.
17:21:18 mdbooth If it's a bug, I'll file it and reference it in a comment.
17:30:38 tssurya dansmith: if we use scatter-gather-cells function is there a way to differentiate legit exceptions upon which we should fail versus the ones we want to handle ?
17:31:06 tssurya at this point, all just raise the "raised_exception_sentinel"
17:31:07 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Raise error on timeout in wait_for_versioned_notifications https://review.openstack.org/604859
17:32:12 mdbooth The check queue is toast
17:33:20 melwitt tssurya: currently there isn't a way, as you point out. I've been thinking about that too and it would be nice if we could include the actual exception raised per cell. I think we still want the sentinel though, so we'd need a new format for the value side of the results dict
17:33:37 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Don't delete disks on shared storage during evacuate https://review.openstack.org/578846
17:33:37 openstack bug 1550919 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "[Libvirt]Evacuate fail may cause disk image be deleted" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1550919 - Assigned to Matthew Booth (mbooth-9)
17:33:37 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Add regression test for bug 1550919 https://review.openstack.org/591733
17:34:04 tssurya melwitt: yea we would have to tweak the return part I guess
17:34:56 melwitt tssurya: I suppose we could just change things to include the exception object instead of the sentinel, then you just have to check isinstance(x, Exception) instead of checking "if sentinel"
17:35:37 melwitt to know whether you've got a good result vs an exception
17:37:03 tssurya so you mean at this point https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/ebab3adb2849c17ebb0249277da89d0d8111e591/nova/context.py#L445 ?
17:38:55 melwitt yeah, one way would be to just store the exception object in 'result' instead of the sentinel. then obviously anywhere in the code that checks "if raised_exception_sentinel" would have to be updated to check isinstance(x, Exception) instead
17:40:56 sean-k-mooney melwitt: i was not following but is that not an anti pattern
17:42:16 melwitt sean-k-mooney: is it? I said earlier if we wanted to keep the sentinels, we'd have to do something to change the format of the value side to be able to include optional additional data (where the exception object could go)
17:42:33 sean-k-mooney melwitt: oh your talking about scatter_gather_cells
17:42:39 melwitt yes
17:43:40 sean-k-mooney the antipattern is the explcit type check in python e.g. isinstance checks but this is not a standard case
17:45:07 melwitt oh, I see. yeah, if results = {cell_uuid: (result or sentinel, optional data)}, then the optional data type could be assumed based on the sentinel
17:45:25 sean-k-mooney melwitt: if the was c++ or pyton3 only i would lean towrods makeing result a concurrent future or std::expected type
17:46:32 melwitt sean-k-mooney: I don't know much about that but the expected type will be different depending on whether the cell returned a result or an exception
17:47:04 tssurya melwitt: for me the requirement came because of wanting to differentiate between InstanceNotFound valid exception versus an actuall cell down exception here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/591658/7/nova/compute/api.py@2327 , feel free to leave a comment and we can also raise it at tomorrow's cells meeting; need to leave office now
17:47:58 sean-k-mooney in c++ std::expect models a type that either pacages the expected result or and error type. when you use it you can test if it it has an error or not with an if expect ...
17:48:22 melwitt tssurya: ok, will look there. I was thinking we would need to be able to differentiate exceptions but didn't see a concrete example till now
17:48:50 melwitt sean-k-mooney: oh, nice
17:49:37 AJaeger nova stable team, could you review a simple zuul job change, please? https://review.openstack.org/602018 https://review.openstack.org/602019 https://review.openstack.org/602022 https://review.openstack.org/602023
17:49:45 AJaeger mriedem: I answered your comment on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/602018/1/.zuul.yaml
17:49:54 sean-k-mooney melwitt: so my preference would be have result be a type that you can just do "if result: #handel sucess else : # handel error"
17:50:58 melwitt sean-k-mooney: we also have "did not respond" i.e. timeout waiting for result
17:51:02 sean-k-mooney melwitt: to do that you would have to override __bool__ in the wrapper class to see if the value was an exception type or not
17:51:19 melwitt which could be an error, but then you have to check the type of the error
17:51:34 melwitt but I guess we have to do that anyway if we're differentiating
17:52:46 sean-k-mooney melwitt: ya. if you stuff the exeption into the value field you can just rerais it and cactch it polymorifclly assuming the timeout is a different exception type
17:53:13 melwitt yeah, could do that
17:53:49 sean-k-mooney melwitt: so basically its the same as what you suggted but your hiding the type checking in a dedicated class that does it for you instead of doing it in multiple places
17:55:34 sean-k-mooney melwitt: python3's concurrent futures basically wrap this up nicly for you too but they are python 3 only https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.Future
17:56:09 melwitt sean-k-mooney: thanks
17:59:57 sean-k-mooney melwitt: want me to mock up an example of using what i described so you can see how it would work. im not sure its the correct solution in this case but its what i would try personally.
18:05:09 melwitt sean-k-mooney: an example that would work for python2 also? I would be interested in looking at it if you mock it up
18:05:57 sean-k-mooney melwitt: yes i can make it work for python too. ill mock something up and push it with some unit tests showing its usage later tonight
18:06:17 sean-k-mooney *python 2
18:06:50 melwitt thanks
18:16:34 openstackgerrit Jack Ding proposed openstack/nova master: Handle missing marker during online data migration https://review.openstack.org/605164
18:17:11 jaypipes man I fucking hate the scheduler unit tests.
18:17:15 jaypipes what a pile of shit.
18:17:59 sean-k-mooney jaypipes: let me guess asserting behavior 3 levles deep then just the local function behvior?
18:19:39 sean-k-mooney anyone know where the devstack log is stored by default? ther eused to be an xstack log in /opt/stack/logs but that seams to not be a thing anymore
18:20:10 jaypipes sean-k-mooney: more the endless hierarchy of copy/pasted test case classes.
18:20:39 sean-k-mooney jaypipes: yeah OOP
18:22:11 sean-k-mooney jaypipes: did i mention im playing with creating a programming language. it "object orianted" current it does not allow inheritence but you can have objects :P
18:26:30 AJaeger mriedem: could you review the other stable backports of that ceph change as well, please?
18:26:47 mriedem yeah
18:28:22 AJaeger thanks
18:31:58 melwitt what is going on with the gate lately? changes that have been in the queue for 26 hours
18:33:12 AJaeger melwitt: high failure rate plus one of our clouds down, see clark's email from a week ago or so
18:33:49 melwitt found it, thank you
18:33:52 AJaeger melwitt: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-September/134867.html
18:34:40 AJaeger melwitt: still applies regarding cloud down - clarkb is testing a fix right now
18:46:27 openstackgerrit Jonte Watford proposed openstack/nova master: This commit adds __str__ and __repr__ methods to objects InstanceNUMACell and NUMACell. These will generate more readable representations of the objects for use in logs. https://review.openstack.org/600269
18:48:57 mriedem AJaeger: waiting to see the renamed job run on ocata https://review.openstack.org/#/c/602023/
18:49:44 AJaeger mriedem: good catch - you won't see it. We miss the parent devstack job there. This needs different handling - I'll fix...
18:54:27 openstackgerrit Jonte Watford proposed openstack/nova master: This commit adds __str__ method to objects InstanceNUMACell and NUMACell. These will generate more readable representations of the objects for use in logs. https://review.openstack.org/600269
19:01:36 mriedem jaypipes: i've got an o.vo problem that maybe you can help solve,
19:01:58 mriedem i've got an Instance object from cell1, pulled fresh from the db so there are no fields marked as 'changed',
19:02:30 mriedem i want to clone that object and re-create it in cell2 which should mean just changing the context to point at cell2 db and delete the id field so Instance.create() won't puke on it,
19:03:01 mriedem the problem is, the cloned object doesn't have any changed fields marked, so Instance.create() doesn't actually save anything into the cell2 db for the instance for things like vm_state, task_state, etc
19:03:54 mriedem know of any way to dirty up the object so it looks new? I tried a obj_from_primitive(obj.obj_to_primitive()) dance but that doesn't work b/c it maintains the 'changes' list of dirty fields
19:04:30 mriedem i'm thinking i might just have to do something like, new_obj = objects.Instance(new_context, **instance.obj_to_primitive()['data'])
