10:32:37 sean-k-mooney[m] the xml metadata is mainly for debugging
10:32:52 sean-k-mooney[m] its not a general store for external integrations.
10:33:41 sean-k-mooney[m] if something can change without reqiuring the xml to be modifed like server metadata it should not be in the xml
10:33:51 Callum027 Yep, fair enough
10:34:25 sean-k-mooney[m] i guess server group techinkally could be there
10:34:35 sean-k-mooney[m] befause they cant change after the vms is created
10:34:50 sean-k-mooney[m] but it feels a little excessive to store it
10:35:12 sean-k-mooney[m] we could see what other thing but that kind of exceedign the orginal usecase
10:35:49 Callum027 Yeah, I'm not proposing we include it here, it was more of an observation because I happened to be looking at what the metadata was actually being used for
10:38:12 Callum027 The use case for adding more metadata than I'm proposing is tenuous. At the same time, what I'm proposing is pretty much what anyone would need in terms of determining how an instance is configured (or at least, for us anyway)

12:22:14 masahito gibi: hi, could you review this bug fix again? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/939658
12:37:39 tkajinam masahito, looks like you have to resolve the merge conflict
12:37:44 tkajinam (just in case you are not aware
12:47:48 opendevreview Masahito Muroi proposed openstack/nova master: Use dict object for request_specs_dict in the _list_view https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/939658
12:48:12 tkajinam :-)
12:51:43 masahito tkajinam: thanks for the info. The gerrit board view was quite changed, so I didn't notice the conflict :) v2.100 changed same place but I can't find the "conflict" label so I was wondering why it is.
12:52:40 tkajinam masahito, I believe you could see it in the top-left (where "Active" is now shown") but the view might be a bit different according to browsers you are using
12:53:08 tkajinam see https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/941939 for example
12:53:31 tkajinam and yeah the view has been changed

22:16:52 Callum027 sean-k-mooney: Regarding your suggestion to add the image name in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/942766 , I don't think image_name is actually stored in system_metadata currently. At least, in our tested on our Nova deployments it doesn't actually appear to be there.
22:18:48 sean-k-mooney ya i think your right, dont try and do heroics to store it
22:19:31 sean-k-mooney Callum027: if its not aviable easily not then the uuid is fine.
22:20:00 Callum027 Yeah, we don't need it for our use case either so I'm happy with UUID only as well
22:31:52 sean-k-mooney the name doesnet actuly matter in most case that was more a syetry thing in that we do have the falvor name
23:02:07 Callum027 Come to think of it, the image name can change at any time so it's not necessarily a good idea for Nova's system metadata or the libvirt metadata to store that anyway
23:03:15 sean-k-mooney it shoudl not change after its created although glance might allow it too
23:04:57 sean-k-mooney ... not only do they allow it it is in the example https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/image/v2/#id16
23:05:11 sean-k-mooney ew but ok uuid it is

10:49:39 sean-k-mooney gibi: bauzas this is a nice performance fix form mikal that came up during the spice series https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/940848 it would be nice to include that in epoxy
10:53:22 bauzas done
10:54:07 sean-k-mooney cool let me know if we have anything pendign that need another pair of eyes
10:55:03 bauzas we'll need to merge the usual release patches
10:55:09 bauzas but I'll ping folks for sure
10:56:14 sean-k-mooney im starting to prepare the same for wathcer. i diid they cycle highlights yesterday and have a draft of the prelude but i need to update launchpad blueprints and the specs repo ectra
10:56:50 sean-k-mooney i also need to confirm if watcher needs the same rpc aliases ectra that we need for nova

15:15:19 dansmith gibi: this is a little different than I remember it originally: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/scheduler/client/report.py#L2059
15:15:35 dansmith that seems to do an atomic swap and not an allocate..delete
15:16:01 dansmith I can go dig, but you might know quicker: will that check reserved or let us get away with the swap if we're reserved?
15:24:01 gibi dansmith: I have not context but at least that seems to be a singel request from nova to placement. I don't know how placement processes that. I know that when nova tries to move an allocation that is for a reserved resource the placement call will fail.
15:24:09 dansmith okay yeah i think it will
15:24:30 gibi but I don't know the exact behavior of placement here
15:24:40 gibi I mean the internal behavior
15:25:00 dansmith what I think placement does is start a transaction, delete the source allocations, create the replacement allocations, then _check_capacity_exceeded() and if that fails, roll back the transaction
15:25:04 sean-k-mooney https://github.com/openstack/placement/blob/master/placement/tests/functional/gabbits/allocations-bug-1779717.yaml
15:25:26 sean-k-mooney we can update/create mutliple allocation at once
15:25:43 dansmith right, but they will still check the reserved amount
15:25:59 sean-k-mooney possibly
15:26:05 dansmith they do
15:26:15 dansmith https://github.com/openstack/placement/blob/master/placement/objects/allocation.py#L73
15:26:15 sean-k-mooney ok
15:26:41 dansmith see my logic above, this ^ will run after the swap and fail because we're over capacity due to the reserved amount
15:26:58 sean-k-mooney right i think that what happend for evacuate too
15:27:35 dansmith yeah, so I think from the outside, it's reasonable for an api consumer to assume that "allocations.replace_all()" is just a swap but it's not
15:28:11 sean-k-mooney well maybe
15:28:29 sean-k-mooney its was not orgianlly for swappign it was for doign muitple updates i think
15:28:32 gibi from API semantic perspective it is not well defined what it means when such a POST call has multiple consumers
15:28:41 dansmith it's also reasonable to assume that we check the capacity again, I'm just saying I think it's a bit ambiguous
15:28:47 dansmith gibi: exactly
15:29:12 gibi it might be a move it might be two independent allocation in the POST
15:29:23 sean-k-mooney yep
15:29:28 dansmith so one way to resolve that would be to say "if we were over capacity before, we allow you to be over capacity by the same exact amount after, otherwise fail"
15:29:42 sean-k-mooney that or a flag to contole the behavior
15:29:50 sean-k-mooney either way i think it need a new microversion
15:30:07 dansmith yeah I was also thinking a flag would be a thing
15:30:25 dansmith sean-k-mooney: can you dig up a reference on the evacuate bug?
15:31:09 sean-k-mooney gibi found it not long ago i can check my email/irc/slack logs and see
15:31:45 sean-k-mooney i know the last time it came up as a downstream it was because the oeprator had adjusted the allcoation ratio
15:31:57 sean-k-mooney putting the host into an oversubsiped state and then later could not evacuate
15:32:10 sean-k-mooney but there was a second edge case too
15:32:56 dansmith right, so that's what I was going to say,
15:33:13 dansmith I think that an alloc ratio change or reserved change will make our existing code fail to swap an allocation of equal size, when it really shouldn't
15:33:18 dansmith for all the move ops
15:34:37 sean-k-mooney in the evacuate case i think we only have one allcoation however it just happens ot have resouce form 2 hosts or somethign slightly odd
15:35:15 dansmith any feeling on allowing the reserved check to be skipped if the total size of the allocations against a provider are not changing? or do you think we need a flag to ask for that specifically
15:35:28 dansmith I tend to think a new microversion after which we say that's the behavior is okay,
15:35:31 sean-k-mooney https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1943191 https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1924123 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1941892
15:35:37 dansmith but if we want to only do that if we specifically ask for it then...
15:36:40 dansmith heh the subject of that first bug is exactly what I'm saying yeah
15:37:39 sean-k-mooney non of those actully say evacuate bu ti think its a releated issue
15:38:02 dansmith but blocking cold migrate is worse
15:38:26 dansmith brb
