16:12:55 lajoskatona No news from me
16:13:07 Uggla thx lajoskatona
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
16:19:28 Uggla #topic Bug scrubbing
16:19:33 Uggla #info up to 189 (-4)
16:19:39 Uggla #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-bug-triage-roster
16:19:44 Uggla #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-bug-triage-roster
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
16:29:28 sean-k-mooney but i just wanted to confirm we were ok wwith that for trackign if we are then ill go do the thing
16:29:55 Uggla no hurries. (at least for me) dansmith are you ok ?
16:30:20 dansmith yeah
16:31:15 Uggla do we need another core to approve or we are good ?
16:32:36 sean-k-mooney we can loop back to this next week if we like where there are more around
16:32:42 dansmith I think PTL can make the call about BP/spec/etc,
16:32:55 sean-k-mooney ill create the blueprint now and we can see if we are happy with the text
16:32:55 dansmith but I'd say proceed as if we're good and let someone else complain if they want
16:32:58 dansmith I doubt anyone will
16:34:38 Uggla We could ask forgiveness as pythonista. ;)
16:34:46 Uggla anything else to discuss ?
16:35:18 Uggla seems not, so I think we are done for today
16:35:45 Uggla Time to close, thanks for joining this meeting. Have a nice day/evening.
