16:11:35 Uggla Concerning the later one, jssfr woould like reviews or feedbacks.
16:12:12 tkajinam regarding the first one, I've addressed initial feedback by Uggla and appreciate reviews
16:13:04 Uggla tkajinam, I did not manage to spend a lot of time on it. But I'll try to do it before the end of the week.
16:13:43 tkajinam thx
16:13:51 tkajinam I'm concerned that it might be too tricky to be merged in a few days, but any opinion about possibility to get FFE would be also appreciated.
16:16:11 Uggla There are not a lot of patches so maybe it will be possible.
16:16:26 Uggla Anyway we will see.
16:16:31 tkajinam yup
16:16:49 Uggla moving on to next topic

16:18:52 elodilles #info stable branch status / gate failures tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-branch-ci
16:19:15 elodilles and that's all (plus i'm going to prepare the new stable release patches)
16:19:35 elodilles Uggla: back to you
16:19:59 Uggla thx elodilles
16:20:06 elodilles np
16:22:05 Uggla I'm going to skip next topic due to pto.
16:22:13 Uggla #topic Gibi's news about eventlet removal.
16:22:15 gibi o/
16:22:23 Uggla #link Blog: https://gibizer.github.io/categories/eventlet/
16:22:30 gibi Both n-sch and n-api and n-metadata API patches landed so these services can be switched to native threading and nova-next is running them that way already on all patches. My large series is now for the unit test fixes but that can wait.
16:22:48 gibi There is a bunch of small patches that I want to promote to land:
16:22:56 gibi https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/957424 Ask for pre-prod testing for native threading
16:23:01 gibi https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/947260 Remove nova.service.process_launcher
16:23:05 gibi https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/950991 Centralize cooperative yield
16:23:09 gibi https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/950992 [hacking] N374 do not use time.sleep(0) to yield
16:23:14 gibi https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/954990 Remove eventlet timer from multi_cell_list
16:23:36 Uggla \o/
16:23:37 gibi and tomorrow is pulic holiday here so I will not be able to run the weekly eventlet sync call
16:23:53 gibi so feel free to skip it or do it without me
16:24:22 gibi I know Kamil updated the nova-conductor series after my feedback but I had no time to go back to it yet
16:24:30 gibi that is all from me
16:24:33 gibi back to you Uggla
16:24:45 Uggla Cool thanks Gibi !
16:25:22 Uggla #topic Open discussion

19:28:25 gibi melwitt: dansmith: responded in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/942502/13#message-cf59c0d4f875b19c85c544c81fa76210786ca184
19:28:48 gibi unfortunately I had less time today for this than I wanted and I will be away until next Monday.
19:35:02 gibi anyhow I lean towards using the host level default temporarily if possible. I offered some suggestion how.
19:36:24 melwitt thank you gibi. I will read through
19:41:38 dansmith melwitt: I don't have the brain power to think this through completely right now, so let me muse here in semi-persistent land
19:41:51 dansmith something gibi mentioned makes me think...
19:42:15 dansmith we're kinda depending on the scheduler doing the right thing for much of the enforcement of the policy (maybe more than I'd like even, as I noted, but alas)
19:42:37 dansmith maybe the better thing here is to think about the reqspec as the authoritative thing instead of sysmeta
19:43:36 dansmith like maybe we have a default (configurable or just default to host) or we require a policy on the flavor/image for new instances
19:44:02 dansmith and we just stamp it into the sysmeta on the way down
19:44:29 dansmith and handle the migration of existing instances differently.. either:
19:44:55 dansmith 1. stamp them as user and make them resize if they want "out". That's somewhat fitting in that right now the flavor they booted with doesn't have migrate ability, resize to a flavor that does fixes the problem
19:45:34 dansmith 2. make hard reboot pass down a default *or* have some other way for them to stamp a policy (either choice or agree to the default)
19:46:17 dansmith and then just focus on reqspec being the authoritative thing and sysmeta just becomes basically the write-once-read-many record of what was chosen so we know where to find a secret, but never change it (at the compute level)
