#openstack-nova - 2021-11-23
16:05:42 bauzas we have an issue
16:05:57 bauzas #info tempest-integrated-placement job had a CI issue
16:06:13 bauzas #link https://zuul.openstack.org/build/43f380b91bd14579806d0b9be0d702c8 the job itself
16:06:44 bauzas looks like an unrelated package issue
16:06:49 gibi it is a known issue https://zuul.openstack.org/build/43f380b91bd14579806d0b9be0d702c8/log/job-output.txt#4206
16:07:02 gibi the pmlogger service did not start
16:07:09 kashyap What does the service even do?
16:07:10 gibi we see it time to time in nova jobs too
16:07:20 gibi kashyap: never digged into it
16:07:26 kashyap Is it this? - https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/pmlogger.1.html
16:07:38 kashyap Anyway, don't want to distract from the main point :)
16:08:05 bauzas #agreed this is a known issue related to pmlogger, should be automatically fixed next run
16:08:13 bauzas agreed on the agreed ? ^
16:08:14 gibi pmlogger.service - Performance Metrics Archive Logge
16:08:25 gibi so yes
16:08:39 gibi bauzas: sure
16:08:48 bauzas ok, if this is done, let's move on
16:08:56 bauzas #info Please look at the gate failures, file a bug, and add an elastic-recheck signature in the opendev/elastic-recheck repo (example: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/759967)
16:09:06 bauzas any other gate issue to mention ?
16:10:07 bauzas looks not
16:10:13 bauzas #topic Release Planning
16:10:23 bauzas Yoga-1 was Nova 18th#link https://releases.openstack.org/yoga/schedule.html#y-1
16:10:27 bauzas dang
16:10:37 bauzas link https://releases.openstack.org/yoga/schedule.html#y-1
16:10:43 bauzas Yoga-1 was Nova 18th
16:10:50 bauzas #info Spec review day helped to merge 3 specs
16:11:06 bauzas thanks people who reviewed them
16:12:34 bauzas #info at Yoga-1 timeframe, Nova already accepted 7 specs and 4 specless BPs
16:12:44 bauzas (sorry, was counting)
16:13:06 bauzas anything to mention about the pace we have ?
16:13:50 bauzas #info reminder that we plan another spec review day mid-Dec, exact date to be discussed in a next meeting
16:14:03 bauzas moving on ?
16:14:40 bauzas I guess so
16:14:46 bauzas #topic Review priorities
16:14:56 bauzas #link https://review.opendev.org/q/status:open+(project:openstack/nova+OR+project:openstack/placement)+label:Review-Priority%252B1
16:15:02 bauzas #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/816861 bauzas proposing a documentation change for helping contributors to ask for reviews
16:15:11 bauzas that reminds me I need to update this change
16:15:52 bauzas #action bauzas to update his change to reflect the consensus about non-ownership ask for this label
16:16:42 bauzas but then, I'll ask next week what and how people feel about how to asynchronously ask reviewers (cores and non-cores) to look at changes
16:16:53 bauzas or the other way, how reviewers can discover changes
16:17:47 bauzas we have room for contributors happy to review that we can help them how to do this
16:18:19 gibi bauzas: btw, can we remove review priority from https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/810220 it is in -1 since 5th of Nov
16:19:06 bauzas gibi: fair enough, you provided good comments on it, and I didn't added my ones since I agree with you
16:19:16 gibi and I have the same feeling about https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/810849 too
16:19:27 bauzas even if I'd like this bugfix to be merged somehow
16:19:54 gibi and this too https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803713
16:21:22 bauzas #info we removed the Review-Priority flag from a few changes as they were lacking updates
16:21:48 bauzas I added a comment to each of the changes explaining to ping me again once they revise the change
16:22:07 bauzas gibi: thanks for the cleanup
16:22:33 bauzas I should somehow think about how to periodically check this
16:22:59 bauzas that's it for the RP labelling and usage ?
16:24:32 bauzas I guess so
16:24:37 bauzas #topic Stable Branches
16:24:44 bauzas elodilles: the mic is yours
16:24:52 elodilles #info stable gates are not blocked
16:24:58 bauzas woow
16:25:00 elodilles #info Ussuri transitioned to Extended Maintenance for nova projects \o/
16:25:09 elodilles and that's it i think
16:25:25 elodilles i have no updates for the intermittent failures on stable gates :(
16:25:47 bauzas elodilles: don't wanna release any stable branch as we're around yoga-1 ?
16:26:04 elodilles good question
16:26:25 bauzas we could do a xena .z release
16:26:33 elodilles i haven't checked how much new content we have on stable branches
16:26:35 bauzas not sure if people want it tho
16:26:48 bauzas I'm pretty sure gibi would like a release, nope?
16:26:53 bauzas given of the backports
16:27:14 bauzas or do people want to stack a bit more until we release ?
16:27:28 elodilles i can prepare some if there is need :)
16:29:04 gibi bauzas: no hard push on a release
16:29:07 bauzas I have no personal interest beyond curiosity
16:29:20 bauzas ok, we can wait them
16:29:23 bauzas then*
16:29:41 gibi bauzas: the waiting for plug fix needed on victora / pike for my downstream counterpart
16:29:43 elodilles (i don't see much merged content)
16:29:54 opendevreview Dan Smith proposed openstack/nova master: Revert project-specific APIs for servers https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/816206
16:30:23 bauzas gibi: well, for us, wallaby and train, but whatever
16:30:44 gibi yeah probably train too
16:30:49 bauzas I guess we're done with this topic, we can rediscuss about the opportunity to release a bit later in the cycle
16:31:44 elodilles yes, let's discuss later
16:32:00 bauzas ++
16:32:08 bauzas #topic Sub/related team Highlights
16:32:14 bauzas Libvirt (lyarwood)
16:32:19 lyarwood wait on a fix in QEMU.
16:32:19 lyarwood We are tracking a QEMU 6.1.0 regression downstream with [libvirt]num_pcie_ports >= 15 when using the q35 machine type, we aren't hitting it yet upstream in Nova itself as we only use q35 in nova-next but TripleO is seeing it with centos 8 and 9 stream after a QEMU rebase. The workaround is to lower the port count to <=14. Just a heads up for now, I've got a TODO to create a known issue release note in Nova for the time being while we
16:32:57 bauzas ouch.
16:33:00 lyarwood and that's all I have this week
16:33:27 sean-k-mooney ack so noting to do in nova other then the known issue
16:33:35 bauzas ack, I also saw some bad libvirt modification that creates problems for our vgpu support
16:33:39 sean-k-mooney and perhaps change job config if needd
16:33:50 lyarwood sean-k-mooney: ack pretty much
16:33:55 bauzas https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1951656
16:34:27 bauzas the fix is easy but that makes me worried about the fact that the namings we have are not a public API
16:35:06 sean-k-mooney its not the first time we have been broken by such name changes
16:35:45 bauzas can't imagine what would happen if the drivers can also change their mdev type names
16:36:04 bauzas we're a bit fragile
16:36:08 bauzas anyway
16:36:12 bauzas let's not overdiscuss this
16:36:26 bauzas we have a few specless bps requests again this week
16:38:10 bauzas #info QEMU 6.1.0 regression downstream with [libvirt]num_pcie_ports >= 15 requires for the moment to work around by lowering the port count to <=14. lyarwood will provide a relnote for it until the QEMU regression is fixed
16:38:27 bauzas moving on
