#openstack-nova - 2022-05-17
16:43:02 bauzas gibi: the idea is to relax the jobs before merging patches we want and then enabling again the jobs
16:43:19 gibi bauzas: and will we do it for every patch we want to merge?
16:43:21 bauzas and see whether the failure ratio drops again
16:43:23 gmann yeah that is what I thought, enabling them again
16:43:40 gibi bauzas: it would work iff we would have patches in queue that fixes those breaks but we dont
16:43:48 bauzas gibi: no, we need to identify a set of patches we'd like to merge in order to help with CI stability
16:44:01 gibi we don't have the fixes :/
16:44:33 gibi it is not like merge these 5 patches to stabilize ussuri, we don't have those 5 patches ready
16:44:50 gibi we have random patches backported and waiting
16:44:51 gmann humm
16:45:25 bauzas ok, we won't obviously solve this problem by now
16:45:33 gmann one thing to note if we are removing integration tests coverage then it is better to make branch EOL like we did for ocata
16:45:38 gibi so something like: 1) collect the issue to be fixed in ussurit to stabilize CI 2) create fixes for them 3) force merge them 4) profit
16:45:39 bauzas let's state we all know about this problem and we'll figure out the solutions later
16:45:58 bauzas gibi: yeah, sounds 1/ and 2/ are not done yet
16:45:59 elodilles maybe if that "SSHABLE" fix helps things in ussuri we have one, but still we probably have other failures
16:46:30 gibi elodilles: a buncs of SSHABLE already landed, so we should see them help
16:46:38 gmann elodilles: that is again difficult as we are not supposed to use tempest master for ussuri so not all master change will go for ussuri testing
16:46:43 bauzas elodilles: ideally an etherpad of doom may help gathering ideas and feedback
16:46:48 gibi gmann: ahh
16:46:50 gibi that explains
16:46:55 gmann I have patch up to cap tempest for ussuri but that is not merged yet
16:46:58 sean-k-mooney gmann: wait we are not?
16:47:08 sean-k-mooney gmann: temest is ment to be branchless upstream
16:47:13 gmann but we have stopped ussuri support in tempest master
16:47:31 sean-k-mooney hum
16:47:37 sean-k-mooney because of what reason?
16:47:41 gmann sean-k-mooney: yes and master tempest is for SUpported branch and we cannot support EM branches
16:47:42 sean-k-mooney python version ?
16:48:04 sean-k-mooney shoudl that not be a project choice
16:48:16 gmann EM branches - #link https://docs.openstack.org/tempest/latest/stable_branch_support_policy.html
16:48:17 sean-k-mooney tempest should not have to support it
16:48:42 sean-k-mooney but project that support em branches shoudl still be able to choose which tempest to run
16:48:46 gmann sean-k-mooney: we have to pin tempest for EM branch so that using master there can break them anytime
16:49:06 gmann sean-k-mooney: yeah, you can but no guarantee if master tempest will work
16:49:19 gmann as long as it is passing it is ok to use
16:49:58 sean-k-mooney ack
16:50:12 sean-k-mooney so i think i would prefer to keep tempest uncapped until ti breaks
16:50:14 elodilles (well, i guess changes on tempest master can affect not only EM branches, but they are affected most likely)
16:50:30 sean-k-mooney elodilles: well nova uses microversion
16:50:40 sean-k-mooney so it should work form our point of view
16:50:53 gmann elodilles: for supported branches we make sure tempest does not break them but for EM it is not the case
16:50:57 sean-k-mooney chagnes to tempest should not break our stable branches expcti if there ar package dep issues
16:51:14 gmann plan is : by default devstack will cap the tempest in ussuri and project can override it in jobs
16:51:15 sean-k-mooney which i guess is why this was done
16:51:15 bauzas I need to timestop the conversation
16:51:41 gmann yeah, we can discuss it in qa or nova channel after meeting
16:51:49 sean-k-mooney +1
16:51:51 elodilles +1
16:51:52 bauzas gmann: sean-k-mooney: gibi: you're all free to continue the conversation after the meeting
16:51:57 gmann sure
16:51:57 bauzas cool
16:52:01 bauzas moving on quickly
16:52:08 bauzas #topic Open discussion
16:52:21 bauzas Uggla: do you want to discuss https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1959186
16:52:22 bauzas ?
16:52:44 bauzas Uggla: you left this bug with comments on your triage etherpad
16:52:53 Uggla yep
16:53:18 Uggla It appears valid to me, but I would like a crosscheck.
16:53:26 sean-k-mooney i dont think it is
16:54:02 sean-k-mooney there is a long runnign knwon issue that you cant delete in use image form glance if it uses ceph
16:54:15 sean-k-mooney that only happens if you use raw images
16:54:27 sean-k-mooney at that enabel our copy on write shallow clone code path
16:54:34 bauzas sounds at least unrelated to nova
16:54:42 sean-k-mooney which i suspect is what is happening here with the snapshot
16:54:45 bauzas maybe valid but not on our side
16:54:52 bauzas right?
16:55:21 dansmith_ it's really desired behavior even
16:55:27 sean-k-mooney there have been some feature request in this area
16:55:39 sean-k-mooney some peopel woudl like too break the shallow copy
16:55:44 dansmith_ I think it'd be a feature on the glance side, IIRC
16:56:08 sean-k-mooney ya so they have not providded enough info in the bug
16:56:12 sean-k-mooney we do not know the image type
16:56:21 sean-k-mooney to confirm wone way or another
16:56:21 dansmith nova doesn't even know about the linkage after it's created right? so if the link is broken, nova is fine with it
16:56:39 sean-k-mooney am im not sure
16:57:00 bauzas dansmith: hence my point, unrelated to the project
16:57:04 bauzas => Opinion
16:57:14 levy14 have a feature proposal, but not in the agenda yet. may I ask here and gauge interest/feasibility?
16:57:15 dansmith bauzas: yeah
16:57:24 sean-k-mooney there is some metadata on teh image but i dont know if we read that when we create the new vm
16:57:29 sean-k-mooney or tack it on our side
16:57:43 bauzas sean-k-mooney: we can add glance as a service project in the bug report
16:57:50 bauzas and mark it invalid on our side
16:58:02 bauzas we'll see it coming back if that's really a nova bug
16:58:21 bauzas Uggla: works for you ?
16:58:26 Uggla yes
16:58:57 bauzas OK, sold
16:59:12 bauzas #agreed https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1959186 to be punted to Glance
16:59:56 sean-k-mooney ill do that and ask for more info in the bug
17:00:03 bauzas I wanted to discuss https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/840020 but we're at time
17:00:14 bauzas thanks all

17:00:28 bauzas gmann: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/840020 seems problematic to merge
17:00:39 sean-k-mooney bauzas: the failures are unrelated i think
17:00:45 sean-k-mooney there were db issues
