| 14:47:05 | sahid | :-) | |
| 14:47:22 | sean-k-mooney | we normally do this latter but its similar to do it there | |
| 16:14:27 | opendevreview | Rafael Weingartner proposed openstack/nova master: Nova to honor "cross_az_attach" during server(VM) migrations https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864760 | |
| 16:27:03 | bauzas | sean-k-mooney: I'm not opposed to the fact we don't hardly specific cpu governors in nova and we let the operator decide which ones they want https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/861591/comments/6a5d4488_55cda4bd | |
| 16:27:17 | bauzas | sean-k-mooney: but I wonder how we could let the operators *specify* it | |
| 16:27:27 | bauzas | a ListOpt doesn't really help | |
| 16:27:51 | bauzas | as we would need to guess which governor is the powersaving one and which one is the best performant | |
| 16:28:41 | bauzas | sean-k-mooney: and I feel a DictOpt is too much painful to add | |
| 16:29:10 | bauzas | sean-k-mooney: see my concern ? | |
| 16:39:25 | sean-k-mooney | well i was thinking of having the first be the low power and second high | |
| 16:39:37 | sean-k-mooney | but you could just add 2 config options | |
| 16:39:43 | sean-k-mooney | for high and low | |
| 16:40:03 | sean-k-mooney | dictopts are supporte by oslo but we dont currently use them in nova | |
| 16:40:25 | bauzas | correct hence me reluctant | |
| 16:40:40 | sean-k-mooney | bauzas: its really just the active/high-power one that we really care about | |
| 16:40:59 | sean-k-mooney | powersave runs the cpu at the lowest frequency it can without turning off | |
| 16:41:10 | sean-k-mooney | performance is the opicite | |
| 16:41:31 | sean-k-mooney | in general you would not want to hardcode perfromace if your trying to manage power | |
| 16:41:58 | sean-k-mooney | so if the high power one was configurable that woudl be enough | |
| 16:42:15 | sean-k-mooney | if you want to keep it simple howwever why not add two config options | |
| 16:42:36 | sean-k-mooney | cpu_high_power_govoner and cpu_low_power_govoner | |
| 16:42:41 | sean-k-mooney | just simple stings | |
| 16:42:58 | bauzas | yup, that's what I write now | |
| 16:43:05 | sean-k-mooney | works for me | |
| 16:43:10 | bauzas | we could bikeshed on the namings | |
| 16:43:11 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: ^ | |
| 16:43:52 | opendevreview | Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Proposes cpu power managment in libvirt https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/861591 | |
| 16:43:59 | bauzas | there you go | |
| 17:10:27 | opendevreview | Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Deprecate mdev creation and hardfail on reboot when missing. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864418 | |
| 17:10:28 | opendevreview | Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Handle mdev devices in libvirt 7.7+ https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/838976 | |
| 17:10:28 | opendevreview | Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Reproducer for bug 1951656 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/850673 | |
| 17:25:46 | opendevreview | John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova master: Ironic nodes with instance reserved in placement https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864773 | |
| 17:28:23 | johnthetubaguy | gibi: I think I may have found an "interesting" way to close that ironic scheduler race with automatic clean, but it feels a bit wrong, its a follow on from that patch you reviewed yesterday: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864773 | |
| 17:31:34 | gibi | johnthetubaguy: that is a clever one | |
| 17:32:21 | johnthetubaguy | it might be too clever, but it seems to work... funky right? | |
| 17:33:10 | gibi | I think we intentionally designed placement in a way that it allows reserving already allocated inventories | |
| 17:33:27 | gibi | but not allow allocating reserved ones | |
| 17:33:47 | gibi | so I think what you do is OK from placement perspective | |
| 17:36:22 | gibi | how likely that a big ironic deployment has no cleaning configured and the update_provider_tree periodic is set to a big value due to preformance reasons? | |
| 17:36:35 | johnthetubaguy | OK, neat. I remember some related discussions around increasing host reserved memory, and it sounded OK ish. | |
| 17:37:14 | johnthetubaguy | ... unsure, that is a very good question. Most large deployments I work on do automatic cleaning, but I know that far from representative | |
| 17:37:38 | johnthetubaguy | (I have to run I am afraid, I am told my dinner is going cold) | |
| 17:37:59 | gibi | johnthetubaguy: no worries. I will leave the feedback in the review | |
| 17:40:42 | gibi | have a nice dinner | |
| 17:45:53 | sean-k-mooney | o/ just saw the comment on ironic reivew | |
| 17:46:08 | sean-k-mooney | is the plan to proceed with https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/842478 anyway | |
| 17:46:17 | sean-k-mooney | if so i can review again tomorrow | |
| 17:47:44 | sean-k-mooney | i am mostly out of brain power today but i dont mind looking at it in the morning | |
| 17:48:41 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864773 is the other one? to review with https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/842478 | |
| 17:51:52 | sean-k-mooney | and yes if you are over allcoated you cannot make new allcoations | |
| 17:52:01 | sean-k-mooney | but i think you are right that you can modify the reserve value | |
| 17:53:04 | sean-k-mooney | like you can go form reservice 0 cpus to 10 and if that would over allocate that is fine it will be resolved when a vm is delete/moved | |
| 17:54:01 | sean-k-mooney | i have not looked at johnthetubaguy clever solution but form context i assume it invovles setting the reserved value to 1 for the custom resoucs inventory that represnt the baremetal hosts | |

| 01:57:53 | melwitt | bauzas: this patch looks relevant to your interests https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864674 | |
| 05:59:57 | opendevreview | Jorhson Deng proposed openstack/nova master: Optimize the small pagesize in numa_fit_instance_to_host https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864812 | |
| 08:04:56 | opendevreview | Jorhson Deng proposed openstack/nova master: Optimize the small pagesize in numa_fit_instance_to_host https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/864812 | |

| 09:44:05 | johnthetubaguy | When you run functional tests on your dev box, and you get loads of errors due to no valid host, it probably means I am doing something stupid, has anyone else hit that at all please? | |
| 10:09:15 | bauzas | johnthetubaguy: which testcases ? | |
| 10:11:16 | johnthetubaguy | good question, mostly the ones that use placement | |
| 10:11:41 | johnthetubaguy | there are loads of them in the functional suite, one example is: nova.tests.functional.wsgi.test_services.TestServicesAPI.test_resize_revert_after_deleted_source_compute | |
| 10:11:54 | johnthetubaguy | pretty sure its my environment being broken, as so many fail | |
| 10:19:47 | johnthetubaguy | ah, so I think it was by default python3 being 3.8, oops! | |
| 10:20:08 | johnthetubaguy | curiously, unit tests are just fine, but functional tests, no so much | |
| 10:22:12 | bauzas | johnthetubaguy: sorry was on a meeting | |
| 10:22:28 | johnthetubaguy | no worries, the fix was simple enough in the end | |
| 10:22:34 | bauzas | johnthetubaguy: yesterday I ran some reshape function tests locally and I had no problem | |
| 10:22:48 | johnthetubaguy | yeah, its my bad default python version, thats all | |
| 10:22:56 | bauzas | johnthetubaguy: oh, so due to py38 ? strange if so | |
| 10:23:02 | johnthetubaguy | yeah | |
| 10:23:11 | bauzas | I guess you recreated your venv too ? | |
| 10:23:31 | johnthetubaguy | I suspect something had failed to start and I didn't notice that, all I noticed was lots of no valid host exceptions | |
| 10:23:43 | johnthetubaguy | so tox spotted it and did the re-create | |
| 10:23:56 | bauzas | and it worked then ? | |
| 10:24:13 | johnthetubaguy | in tox.ini the base python is python3 rather than python3.9 I guess, which caused my "fun" | |
| 10:24:18 | johnthetubaguy | yeah, its working fine now | |
| 10:24:21 | bauzas | I suspect some os-resource-classes or os-traits library update wasn't updated | |
| 10:24:35 | bauzas | hence placement failing and then the novalidhosts eventually | |
| 10:24:45 | bauzas | doing the tox -r updated the deps | |
| 10:24:47 | johnthetubaguy | ah... got you, very possible | |
| 10:25:10 | johnthetubaguy | actually, I remember seeing some os-traits error actually | |
| 10:25:20 | bauzas | yeah, we hardfail on the number of traits | |
| 10:25:40 | johnthetubaguy | it was a missing attribute error I think, which is basically the same thing | |
| 10:25:48 | bauzas | cool | |
| 10:25:58 | johnthetubaguy | well mystery solved, thank you! | |
| 10:26:07 | bauzas | np, glad you fixed it by yourself :D | |
| 10:26:31 | johnthetubaguy | (makes bashing with a hammer noises) | |
| 10:27:06 | bauzas | :) | |
| 10:44:00 | opendevreview | John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova master: Functional test test_boot_reschedule_with_proper_pci_device_count https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/760354 | |
| 10:44:01 | opendevreview | John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova master: Fix PCI passthrough race on reschedule (claims) https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/710847 | |
| 10:44:01 | opendevreview | John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova master: Fix PCI passthrough race on reschedule (refresh) https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/710848 | |
| 11:02:59 | johnthetubaguy | gibi: I think you reviewed those in the past, I am not sure it answers all your questions, but I put the functional test first, in an attempt to work out which patches are needed. Its a nasty bug that on re-schedule you try to get the wrong PCI device, but fail with in-use errors. | |
| 11:03:54 | sean-k-mooney | johnthetubaguy: so i was thinking about your ironic patch for reserving on schedule over night | |
| 11:04:04 | sean-k-mooney | i think in general its a good idea | |
| 11:04:32 | sean-k-mooney | there was some concern about if cleaning was used or not in large cloud right extendign the time they would be unavaiable | |
| 11:05:04 | johnthetubaguy | yeah, gibi was mentioning that, and well, I don't disagree | |
| 11:05:11 | sean-k-mooney | if we wanted to cater for that we coudl make this configurable but i think the its proably ok ot reserve by default or uncondtionally | |
