| 16:13:18 | Uggla | #topic Ironic review priorities | |
| 16:13:29 | Uggla | cardoe, something to share this week ? | |
| 16:13:56 | cardoe | Just an ask about the trunk spec if folks can review it. | |
| 16:14:20 | Uggla | by the way I have seen your request to backport https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955685 | |
| 16:14:33 | cardoe | We landed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955685 but would be curious to know if that is backportable to see how much that improves things for users rather than waiting for 2026.2 | |
| 16:15:13 | Uggla | that sounds possible, I'll try to propose it. You would like it on 2026.1 right ? | |
| 16:15:27 | cardoe | I'm out on vacation for a little bit coming up but once I return I'll be working on more performance items between nova/ironic and will have more to share. | |
| 16:15:29 | cardoe | Yes. 2026.1 | |
| 16:16:11 | Uggla | ok so I'll try to do it, so I hope, you will have it back from vacation. | |
| 16:16:19 | elodilles | ^^^ feel free to add me as reviewer to the backport | |
| 16:16:45 | Uggla | elodilles sure, as it will avoid me to do something wrong. | |
| 16:16:46 | sean-k-mooney | i think it likely can be backported yes but ya it would be good to get elods input for usre | |
| 16:16:59 | elodilles | +1 | |
| 16:16:59 | cardoe | I can create it. | |
| 16:17:14 | opendevreview | Doug Goldstein proposed openstack/nova stable/2026.1: Implementing get_num_instances for ironic virt driver https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/989002 | |
| 16:18:05 | Uggla | cardoe ok, also the FUP doc patch would be good. | |
| 16:18:42 | Uggla | I think we can move on. | |
| 16:18:48 | sean-k-mooney | we might want to squah the two when backporting | |
| 16:18:51 | sean-k-mooney | as its just comments | |
| 16:19:05 | sean-k-mooney | but sure i woudl be ok with or without the comment fixup | |

| 16:19:58 | Uggla | #link https://truc.uggla.fr/ to follow the trend. | |
| 16:20:05 | cardoe | I would need the topic removed from https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/985785 for gerrit to be happy squashing the backport. | |
| 16:20:22 | Uggla | Next meeting (this week): [public] Upstream bug triage. Wednesday, May 20 · 15:30 – 16:00 UTC. Video call link: meet.google.com/zjr-rxus-hzj | |
| 16:21:09 | Uggla | ^ I made this one recurrent (every week). Note I could cancel from time to time if our internal bug triage is taking too long | |
| 16:21:38 | Uggla | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:21:54 | Uggla | We have one topic from sean: | |
| 16:21:55 | Uggla | (sean) libvirt driver support for managed flag via cyborg pci attachment handle. | |
| 16:22:16 | sean-k-mooney | so the main question is simple | |
| 16:22:35 | sean-k-mooney | i am currnetly writing a cyborg spec to supprto vfio-varint driver for pci passthough in cyborg | |
| 16:22:44 | sean-k-mooney | the same as we did in nova a few cycles ago | |
| 16:23:10 | sean-k-mooney | this requires a very trivial change to nova in the libvirt driver to pass teh managed=True|False flag | |
| 16:23:35 | sean-k-mooney | are we ok with detailign this only in the cybrog spec and haveing a whishlist bug ro specless bluepirnt on the nova side | |
| 16:23:46 | sean-k-mooney | or do we need somethign behiond that? | |
| 16:24:07 | dansmith | managed=true is a pci whitelist flag right now for static devices yeah? | |
| 16:24:09 | sean-k-mooney | i.e. we coudl incorperate this isnto the nova spec for cybrog manged timesliced gpus (mdevs) | |
| 16:24:16 | sean-k-mooney | dansmith: yep | |
| 16:24:48 | dansmith | and you want to be able to let cyborg control that flag for things it provides via accelerator handle (whatever we call them)? | |
| 16:24:56 | sean-k-mooney | yep | |
| 16:25:03 | sean-k-mooney | just adding a boolean to that respocne object | |
| 16:25:09 | dansmith | which basically just controls what we tell libvirt about the device right? | |
| 16:25:14 | sean-k-mooney | with a new microversion of coucse on the cybrog api side | |
| 16:25:20 | sean-k-mooney | yep | |
| 16:25:24 | dansmith | makes sense to me | |
| 16:25:26 | sean-k-mooney | currently it jsut has the pci adress | |
| 16:25:41 | sean-k-mooney | so we woudl jsut be addeding a managed=True|false boolean ot it as well | |
| 16:27:20 | sean-k-mooney | i have the cybrog spec locally with the minimal change to the libvirt driver detailed | |
| 16:27:25 | sean-k-mooney | ill push it shortly | |
| 16:27:50 | sean-k-mooney | ah | |
| 16:27:53 | sean-k-mooney | #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cyborg-specs/+/989003 | |
| 16:28:12 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cyborg-specs/+/989003/1/specs/2026.2/approved/support-vfio-variant-driver-managed-mode.rst#161 | |
| 16:28:25 | sean-k-mooney | so that is the minimal change for nova | |
| 16:28:56 | Uggla | sean-k-mooney, can you ping me as soon as you have done the BP, I'll update the status etherpad. | |
| 16:29:11 | sean-k-mooney | sure i can create it after the meeting | |
