12:48:23 sean-k-mooney like with os-vif
12:48:40 sean-k-mooney we use the vif-type and vnic-type to only call the correct plugin
12:48:51 sean-k-mooney we never do any kind of probing
13:11:33 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: by the way a possible gotch ya with pre-commit
13:12:03 sean-k-mooney i dont think it runs if you do a git add during an interactive rebase and then do git rebase --continue
13:12:19 sean-k-mooney you have to do git commit --amend first
13:14:34 bauzas sean-k-mooney: you got a merge conflict ?
13:14:53 sean-k-mooney for?
13:16:30 sean-k-mooney im interactive rebaseing to adress the fact i removed the devpath in the wong commit and im adress all the style nits in the rest of the following patchs since they are going to be rebased as a result anyway
13:16:57 sean-k-mooney with precommit if you just to rebase --continue it just does not run the commit hook i think
13:17:05 sean-k-mooney since it technially not a commit
13:17:36 sean-k-mooney so if you want precommit to run when doing interactive rebases and your editing files then make sure to comit before moving on
13:19:16 sean-k-mooney bauzas: if you are asking will there be a merge conflict then yes
13:19:36 sean-k-mooney a very minor one with the pci socket policy patch
13:19:55 sean-k-mooney its a one line conflict in a test
13:21:04 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Add vDPA nodedev parsing https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/770533
13:21:05 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: pci: Add vDPA vnic to PCI request mapping and filtering https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/778350
13:21:05 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Add guest generation for vDPA https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/770532
13:21:06 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: tests: Add functional test for vDPA device https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/780112
13:21:07 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: tests: Make mdev stubs work like vDPA https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/780234
13:21:36 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: that should adress all the nits too
13:22:50 lyarwood I can't recall ever seeing this written down anywhere but do we have a policy against passing context around, if only to improve logging by ensuring a request-id is logged alongside each message?
13:23:15 lyarwood I'm trying to debug the volume detach failure and am getting pissed with the lack of context in some places
13:23:34 lyarwood I've added instance=instance to all of the LOG calls in the volume drivers within libvirt now
13:23:41 sean-k-mooney i personally try not to pass it if i can avoid it
13:23:46 lyarwood but as we don't pass context down into these there's no request-id
13:23:54 sean-k-mooney but i almost never use request id
13:24:06 lyarwood yeah, I'm a heavy heavy user of it now
13:24:18 lyarwood and while I get that it's pointless if it isn't used
13:24:27 lyarwood the request-id is soooooooo useful
13:24:51 sean-k-mooney if you have the instance uuid that normally enough
13:24:57 sean-k-mooney it can be yes
13:25:24 lyarwood you just end up making assumptions I find
13:25:25 sean-k-mooney but unless we can come up with a better way then pass it to every function i would prefer not to
13:25:51 lyarwood I'll have to read the oslo.log code again to recall what it actually looks for
13:25:58 artom lyarwood, I thought the request ID was stashed in a thread global or something? At least that's what I was told...
13:25:58 lyarwood it might look for other things aside from context
13:26:19 sean-k-mooney artom: i dont think so
13:26:20 lyarwood hmm I thought oslo.log pulled it out of context tbh
13:26:27 sean-k-mooney that would not work well with eventlests
13:26:51 artom *shrug* I have to do the dad taxi thing anyways
13:26:55 sean-k-mooney unless you mean a green thread local variable of some kind
13:27:10 sean-k-mooney bu it i still would assume its not form that
13:27:21 lyarwood oh it's both
13:27:30 lyarwood https://github.com/openstack/oslo.log/blob/51324b276a8a5f69847d3a17fa89924dabad4759/oslo_log/formatters.py#L61-L78
13:29:10 lyarwood ah right cool
13:29:19 lyarwood okay so passing context isn't required
13:30:20 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Ensure all volume drivers log the instance whenever possible https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/780260
13:30:59 sean-k-mooney https://github.com/openstack/oslo.context/blob/0d02866365bc8b779aef9ebd0b79a52c96ae40e5/oslo_context/context.py#L508-L513
13:31:08 sean-k-mooney so it can retrun None
13:31:34 sean-k-mooney _request_store is a thread local
13:31:36 sean-k-mooney https://github.com/openstack/oslo.context/blob/0d02866365bc8b779aef9ebd0b79a52c96ae40e5/oslo_context/context.py#L40
13:32:10 sean-k-mooney so if the green thread resoumes on a different thread becaue we are usign a thread pool it might be empty
13:32:36 lyarwood kk makes sense, both connect and disconnect wait behind a lock
13:32:45 lyarwood so I assume that's where we end up losing it
13:32:49 lyarwood ew
13:33:07 sean-k-mooney do i want to know what you just saw
13:33:37 lyarwood that was more at the logging changing because of thread local storage
13:34:03 lyarwood I'm looking at yet another example failure of the detach thing
13:34:11 lyarwood another test attaches a volume
13:34:19 lyarwood the failing test attaches a volume
13:34:23 lyarwood the other test detaches
13:34:31 lyarwood and then our failing test attempts to detach
13:34:45 sean-k-mooney thats also ew :)
13:35:08 lyarwood well it's all locked and serialised so that's fine
13:35:18 lyarwood but the failing test just times out trying to detach the device
13:35:19 sean-k-mooney can we just chnage this locally in nova to workaround the issue
13:35:22 lyarwood there's some stuff in syslog
13:35:33 lyarwood but I can't get my head around it tbh
13:36:16 sean-k-mooney you still think this is due to conflicting WWNs right
13:37:14 lyarwood yeah I don't think that's helping but I can't find a smoking gun here
13:47:17 belmoreira hi, we are live migrating thousands of instances because hardware retirement and hit an old issue :) this was discussed in the past for instance creation, but now I'm facing it at live migration, when the migration allocation is created. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1918419
13:47:19 openstack Launchpad bug 1918419 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "vCPU resource max_unit is hardcoded" [Undecided,New]
13:48:48 sean-k-mooney belmoreira: it would be incorrect to factor in allocation ration when setting max_unit
13:48:49 belmoreira I feel that for the vcpu particular case the operator could take the responsibility to defined the max_unit value.
13:49:27 sean-k-mooney i dont think i agree
13:49:40 sean-k-mooney you might be abel to use provider.yaml to cahnge it
13:49:53 sean-k-mooney but its not valid for a vm to oversubsribe against itself
13:50:06 sean-k-mooney so the max_unit should never exceed total
13:50:36 sean-k-mooney if you are disabling hyperthread thats havlfing your total cpus so the max_unit should also be reduced
13:50:48 belmoreira "its not valid for a vm to oversubsribe against itself" I agree with that
13:51:12 sean-k-mooney max_unit in placment is there to prevent that
13:51:42 sean-k-mooney belmoreira: the correct approch in your case would be to resize the vms before the migration
13:51:53 sean-k-mooney form the 32 core flavor to 16 i assume
13:52:03 sean-k-mooney or 32 but across 2 numa nodes
13:52:11 sean-k-mooney likely depending on the vm
13:52:50 belmoreira of course in the general I agree with you. And it's a good default. What I'm talking about is to give the operator the freedom to change this sensible default for very particular operations.
13:53:08 sean-k-mooney that the thing its all or nothing
13:53:23 sean-k-mooney if you change the max_unit in the placment inventory
13:53:29 sean-k-mooney it will apply to all operations
13:53:41 sean-k-mooney which could allow vms to boot that were over subscibing againt themselves
13:54:47 sean-k-mooney we dont suport setting max_unit for indivigual resouce in the allocation candiates request
13:55:33 sean-k-mooney belmoreira: if you realy need too you can use https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/ussuri/approved/provider-config-file.html
13:55:43 sean-k-mooney to orverride the max_unit
13:55:58 sean-k-mooney assuming you have at least ussuri
13:57:27 belmoreira I'm not familiar with that spec. Let me have a look. (still in Stein for Nova)
13:57:31 sean-k-mooney you would basically do
13:57:33 sean-k-mooney meta:
13:57:35 sean-k-mooney schema_version: 1.0
13:57:37 sean-k-mooney providers:
