#openstack-nova - 2020-05-12
09:55:21 sean-k-mooney so i would guess it would be non trivial
09:55:30 sean-k-mooney but mainly due to techdebt
09:55:48 openstackgerrit Jiri Suchomel proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Add spec for downloading images via RBD https://review.opendev.org/572805
09:56:27 ikla something like: {"pci_passthrough:alias"="name1:1, name2:1, name3:1"}
09:57:44 sean-k-mooney ikla: yes its a comma seperate list
09:57:46 sean-k-mooney https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/pci/request.py#L234-L237
09:58:24 sean-k-mooney so openstack flavor set --property "pci_passthrough:alias"="name1:1,name2:1,name3:1" my-flavor
09:58:24 gibi sean-k-mooney: thanks. I will look into this direction as well
10:01:39 ikla Insufficient compute resources: Claim pci failed.
10:01:41 ikla hmm
10:02:15 sean-k-mooney ikla: you might need to weaken the default numa affintiy policy
10:02:35 sean-k-mooney e.g. if you dont have all the device on the same numa node
10:03:17 sean-k-mooney ikla: you can set numa_policy=perfer in the alisa
10:03:31 sean-k-mooney i just need to check that value is correct but i think its prefer or prefered
10:05:11 openstackgerrit Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: trivial: Address issues with flake8 3.8.0 https://review.opendev.org/727140
10:05:25 sean-k-mooney ikla: its "preferred"
10:05:28 stephenfin gibi, bauzas: if that isn't failing our gate yet, it's going to start soon ^
10:05:32 sean-k-mooney ikla: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/objects/fields.py#L734
10:05:42 sean-k-mooney ikla: it could have failed for other reasons too
10:05:52 stephenfin https://review.opendev.org/727133 will fix it but I don't know how long until that's released
10:05:58 stephenfin *how long it will be
10:06:08 bauzas wait
10:06:35 bauzas stephenfin: doesn't that provide a new exception ?
10:07:23 bauzas stephenfin: do you have more context ?
10:07:26 stephenfin yes, E741 and F522 seem to be new
10:07:36 bauzas so we could ignore them first ?
10:07:46 stephenfin but...why?
10:07:50 ikla set in flavor?
10:08:03 ikla oh, in the alias?
10:08:17 ikla I get the same issue with one device
10:08:29 stephenfin the correct fix is for hacking to limit flake8 to a given minor version instead of the major version range it's using, but we need a new release of hacking for that
10:09:58 sean-k-mooney ikla: are you testing with a gpu
10:10:23 sean-k-mooney ikla: or do you have any specific errors int eh nova compute agent log
10:11:36 ikla no, these are network cards
10:12:37 ikla nothing in logs
10:12:39 sean-k-mooney ok then likely you if its not the numa issue the next thing to check woudl be the pci device type
10:12:52 sean-k-mooney do the nics support sriov?
10:13:13 ikla yes
10:13:30 sean-k-mooney if they dont have the capablity of SRIOV then the type will be type-PCI
10:13:30 ikla they are setup and I can see them in the pci list with lspci -nnn
10:13:35 ikla Virtual x 4
10:13:46 sean-k-mooney if they do then the PF will be type-PF and the VFs will be type-VF
10:13:58 sean-k-mooney you need to match the alis to the type
10:14:35 ikla thats what I did
10:14:45 sean-k-mooney ikla: by the way you only use that pci aliase for nics if you dont want them to be used with neutron
10:15:11 ikla yup
10:18:55 sean-k-mooney ok so your alias is something like this
10:19:03 sean-k-mooney | [pci]
10:19:05 sean-k-mooney | alias = '{
10:19:07 sean-k-mooney | "name": "QuickAssist",
10:19:09 sean-k-mooney | "product_id": "0443",
10:19:11 sean-k-mooney | "vendor_id": "8086",
10:19:13 sean-k-mooney | "device_type": "type-vf",
10:19:15 sean-k-mooney | "numa_policy": "preferred"
10:19:17 sean-k-mooney | }'
10:20:04 sean-k-mooney actully it shoudl be type-VF
10:20:11 gibi tony_su: could you make a small fix in https://review.opendev.org/#/c/725788 then I will +2 it
10:21:35 bauzas stephenfin: I mean, your change is a bit unclear
10:22:10 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova stable/stein: stable-only: skip volume backup tests in cellsv1 job https://review.opendev.org/727147
10:22:29 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova stable/rocky: stable-only: skip volume backup tests in cellsv1 job https://review.opendev.org/727148
10:23:17 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova stable/queens: stable-only: skip volume backup tests in cellsv1 job https://review.opendev.org/727150
10:24:42 bauzas stephenfin: so, IMO, we should add a new change ignoring the new errors, then having your own change modifyng what what needed and then also removing the error ignored line
10:25:23 bauzas stephenfin: so in case a new patch would be merged, we would still make sure we would ignore the new errors until you are sure that all of them are fixed
10:30:19 sean-k-mooney do we even need to do that
10:30:24 sean-k-mooney lets just cap it
10:30:49 sean-k-mooney then props a patch to uncap it and a patch that depends on that in nova
10:31:01 sean-k-mooney it should fail and we can iterate on that patch until it passes
10:31:04 stephenfin or, you know, fix the five things that have changed and move on with our lives
10:31:19 stephenfin these are the only changes necessary. I checked. I'll update the commit message shortly
10:31:21 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: you didnt explain why any of the five things needed to be fixed
10:31:29 stephenfin I'll update the commit message shortly
10:31:35 sean-k-mooney and several fo them had #noqa on them
10:31:40 sean-k-mooney so they should have been ignofred
10:31:41 stephenfin they already had noqa
10:31:47 sean-k-mooney yep
10:31:52 stephenfin check my replies
10:31:53 sean-k-mooney so it should not have been checking them
10:33:24 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: https://www.flake8rules.com/rules/E741.html does not feel like we should have it on by default
10:35:52 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: I'd really rather avoid that argument because those tend to be ratholes in nova. I'd much, much rather we just took what flake8 and hacking gave us and dealt with it.
10:36:33 sean-k-mooney arbitary rules like that one make code worse and less readable
10:36:55 stephenfin arbitrary rules like you're *never* allowed exceed 80 characters?
10:37:03 sean-k-mooney i agree it can be consuing a time but its not any worse then using any 1 lettter valiable
10:37:17 stephenfin one man's arbitrary rule is another's good idea
10:37:18 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: yes that has been demonstrated to make code less readable
10:37:25 sean-k-mooney and pep8 enforece 79
10:37:28 sean-k-mooney not 80
10:37:59 stephenfin there is evidence to suggest otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf-BqAjZb8M&t=260
10:38:23 stephenfin https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/the_black_code_style.html#line-length would be an informative read
10:38:38 stephenfin but this is exactly where I don't want to end up :D damn it
10:38:53 stephenfin gibi: ta
10:39:23 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: i have read the black style guide it argues against the 80 column limit
10:40:23 sean-k-mooney stephenfin its why it used a 80ish limit rahter then a fixed value.
10:40:37 stephenfin yup
10:41:00 stephenfin to be clear, my argument is against the strict limit
10:41:04 stephenfin 80ish is fine
10:41:13 stephenfin hence the emphasis on *never* above
10:45:48 openstackgerrit Brin Zhang proposed openstack/nova master: Optimize _create_and_bind_arqs logic in conducor https://review.opendev.org/726564
10:47:41 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: i left some more comments. some of the noqas canbe remvoed with light tweeks or we can need to document why.
11:19:07 openstackgerrit Qiu Fossen proposed openstack/nova-specs master: specify mac for creating instance https://review.opendev.org/700429
11:40:48 openstackgerrit Nalini Varshney proposed openstack/nova master: Add migration to make key field type VARBINARY in aggregate_metadata table, https://review.opendev.org/725522
