18:25:07 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: libvirt: Remove MIN_{QEMU,LIBVIRT}_LUKS_VERSION https://review.opendev.org/668924
18:31:18 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova-specs master: Fix the cross_az_attach value in AZ-unshelved spec https://review.opendev.org/669261
18:34:48 mriedem the reason i ask is because those filters return a "limit" from the scheduler which gets passed down to the compute which is part of the resource claim,
18:35:00 mriedem and if the scheduler is passing down a limit for something that you don't expect, that might be the cause
18:35:39 mriedem https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/configuration/schedulers.html#allocation-ratios
18:37:17 mriedem iow, what you think and what placement is using might be different allocation ratios
18:37:28 mriedem hopefully that doc gives some things to look at
18:48:34 Nick_A It actually looks like we're dealing with some sort of qemu/kernel bug... It successfully attempts a claim on compute if we set the flavor RAM less than the physical RAM, but libvirt errors at certain amounts with "qemu-system-x86_64: cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory."
19:15:56 dansmith Nick_A: using anything that requires pinned memory? cpu pinning, huge pages, etc?
19:16:36 dansmith also, even if you have 32g of memory, you can't necessarily expect to land a 30g instance there if you have no swap and have a large enough footprint of other stuff
19:17:04 dansmith but, if you're getting to libvirt, then you're out of the realm of it being a nova thing
19:17:21 Nick_A we are doing cpu pinning on here - yeah, I think the only nova issue was the hard limit based on physical ram
19:17:46 Nick_A I am curious why that's the case if you happen to know
19:18:17 Nick_A we have non-openstack centos libvirt nodes that are happy to create KVMs with over 32GB on the same hardware
19:18:19 dansmith do you also have a numa topology specified?
19:18:34 dansmith there's no 32g limit specifically of course
19:19:16 Nick_A "Regardless of the overcommit ratio, an instance can not be placed on any physical node with fewer raw (pre-overcommit) resources than the instance flavor requires." Am I misunderstanding that?
19:19:40 Nick_A re: numa - we're using openstack-ansible defaults, not sure
19:21:14 Nick_A I got that from https://docs.openstack.org/arch-design/design-compute/design-compute-overcommit.html
19:21:29 dansmith no, I'm just saying there's no specific 32g limit. nova's overcommit is for landing multiple instances on a node, however ill-advised
19:21:47 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Remove old TODO about forced_host policy check https://review.opendev.org/669474
19:22:08 dansmith a single instance larger than physical memory is silly, so yeah, no support for it
19:22:41 Nick_A right, but there is a limit based on the physical RAM preventing a single instance from being allocated above that amount. I'm curious why it allows multiple instances to do so but not a single one.
19:23:50 dansmith it allows it because it was designed that way for earlier cloud providers that did it for cost scale, but it's never a good idea for performance, obviously, as you're just using host disk for the overage
19:24:13 dansmith a single instance that is larger than the host doesn't make sense, you might as well run a smaller guest and let it do its own swapping
19:25:10 dansmith anyway, if you're doing cpu pinning you might be running up against something that requires page pinning which is getting you to the "cannot allocate memory" thing
19:25:18 dansmith I doubt it's a kernel/qemu bug
19:25:36 dansmith best bet would be to ask around monday morning when more of the folks that are familiar with that stuff are around
19:25:42 Nick_A thank you
19:25:43 dansmith sean, sfinucan, etc

20:35:08 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Remove Newton-era min compute checks for server create with device tags https://review.opendev.org/669523
20:37:36 mriedem dansmith: is https://review.opendev.org/#/c/667177/ just waiting for my eye-ball diff and if we're good, fix the thing you noted and then we can move forward?
20:37:48 dansmith mriedem: yeah
21:16:46 mriedem ok comments in there now
21:17:24 mriedem also - https://review.opendev.org/#/c/668631/ - it's a good thing we didn't do the interface change in the same patch...

22:02:18 sean-k-mooney Nick_A: im not sure if this is the issue but i do not belive we allow vms to oversubsribe resouces against itself.
22:02:41 sean-k-mooney in placment the max_unit for MEMORY_MB should be set to the total capasity of the host
22:03:10 sean-k-mooney so we will not allow vms that request more ram then the host has to be schduled to a node
22:03:19 sean-k-mooney the same is true from ram and disk
22:03:54 sean-k-mooney i havent read the full scrollback but that is the first limitation that came to mind
22:05:09 sean-k-mooney reading back
22:05:22 sean-k-mooney we reserve 512MB of ram for the host by default

22:10:32 Nick_A sean-k-mooney thanks
22:11:53 sean-k-mooney i would have to think about it some more but im guessing you are hiting one of the limit we have to make sure a single vm does not exceed the total amount of one of the resouce we have on the host
22:30:06 Nick_A yeah that's clearly why 32768 wasn't working. We were just surprised it had a limit of that sort when the RAM allocated to multiple smaller instances could still cross that threshold.
22:36:17 sean-k-mooney i think the qemu error is proably a similar similar safte check
22:37:25 sean-k-mooney the os and qemu both need some ram to work properly. so there is some overhad per host that should not be allocated to a guest unless you have enough swap space
22:37:42 sean-k-mooney but even then i generally do not recommend ram over commit at all
22:38:40 sean-k-mooney it causes more issues the in sovles as the kernel OOM killer will reap the vms first if it need to allocate memory and it can swap the vm memory to make room
