#openstack-nova - 2017-08-02
18:41:44 mriedem i'm working on handling shared storage with resize to same host
18:42:31 jaypipes ok, will wait for further instructions.
18:42:47 dansmith I guess jay's patch didn't even pass the gibi tests from yesterday?
18:42:59 dansmith I should have fixed that first I guess, because now it fails everything
18:43:01 jaypipes dansmith: yes, they were.
18:43:07 dansmith https://review.openstack.org/#/c/488510/12
18:43:15 dansmith not according to that, afaict
18:43:30 dansmith oh, nm,
18:43:34 jaypipes dansmith: gibi's tests work.
18:43:35 dansmith that's the ironic/ocata whatever
18:43:43 jaypipes dansmith: there was an ocata ironic failure I was looking into
18:43:45 dansmith hmm, well, not sure why they don't here then
18:47:30 cdent jaypipes: I made a bug for that thing you just commented on, so we have it for future reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1708205
18:47:30 openstack Launchpad bug 1708205 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "placement allocation representation asymetric on PUT and GET" [Low,Confirmed]
18:47:42 mriedem problem in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/490085/2/nova/tests/functional/test_servers.py
18:47:45 jaypipes cdent: cool.
18:48:31 dansmith jaypipes: there's another problem, btw
18:48:57 dansmith jaypipes: let's say you have a compute node with 4 vcpus total, overcommit ratio of 16 like default
18:49:05 dansmith jaypipes: and you have an instance there with three vcpus
18:49:12 dansmith and want to do a same-host resize
18:49:32 dansmith you'll fail to get a doubled allocation because the single-instance allocation on that host will be >max_unit
18:49:58 jaypipes dansmith: ooh, yeah, certainly didn't think of that. nice catch...
18:50:24 dansmith also solved by my migration claim idea, fwiw
18:50:45 jaypipes dansmith: however, there would still be two separate allocation records, though, right? which would individually be <max_unit, yes?
18:50:54 dansmith no
18:50:55 mriedem no same host
18:50:56 dansmith single instance
18:50:57 mriedem same rp
18:51:00 dansmith against the same rp
18:51:00 jaypipes oh, yeah, doh.
18:51:00 dansmith right
18:51:05 jaypipes yup, sorry.
18:51:37 jaypipes dansmith: yes, your migration UUID idea would indeed solve that. ++
18:51:38 cdent what’s the chances of leap know to a migration claim? is that completely off the table?
18:51:55 jaypipes cdent: leap know?
18:51:58 dansmith leap know what now?
18:52:18 cdent sorry, homophones
18:52:28 jaypipes who you calling a homophone?
18:52:45 cdent leap now to use migration claims, instead of trying to work around all these constraints
18:52:59 dansmith it's a lot of change
18:53:06 dansmith to scheduling and the db schema, etc
18:53:07 jaypipes cdent: yeah, what dansmith said.
18:53:20 dansmith not that we're not making lots of change to fix these issues, but.. it's scary(er)
18:53:23 jaypipes plus there's the issue of still needing to handle ocata migrations...
18:53:31 jaypipes ocata to pike migrations, that is.
18:53:49 cdent yeah, dansmith, I’m not entirely sure which is really scarier
18:54:29 jaypipes dansmith, mriedem: do we still need a patch testing that when ocata computes are in the mix, that pike computes continue to behave badly? if so, I can begin work on that.
18:54:44 mriedem i'll ask for the 7th time, couldn't we handle the ocata->pike issue by not claiming in the scheduler until everything in the compute is working the way we want and restrict the claim in the scheduler until the computes are all >=pike?
18:54:59 mriedem feel free to just say no again :)
18:55:07 dansmith mriedem: and again, it doesn't change anything if we don't claim first
18:55:15 dansmith ocata will still stomp on everything
18:55:31 mriedem ocata won't stomp if it's not ocata
18:55:44 mriedem there is nothing to stomp if we don't put down the stompables until >=pike
18:55:48 jaypipes dansmith: plus we've already released Pike software that always does claiming in the scheduler...
18:56:19 dansmith mriedem: they'll stomp on pike things
18:56:24 jaypipes dansmith: so it would be a pain to have to know whether the software installed does or does not do claims
18:56:47 dansmith mriedem: but again, it doesn't solve anything to not do a thing that gets stomped on anyway
18:56:50 mriedem dansmith: aren't we trying to fix the computes to not stomp on things the scheduler is doing?
18:57:13 mriedem like, make the compute aware of shared storage allocations
18:57:13 dansmith mriedem: not really
18:57:20 dansmith not ocata computes
18:57:26 mriedem right, pike computes
18:57:35 jaypipes mriedem: no. we're trying to fix pikes to not stomp on things that other pike computes may have been doing.
18:57:41 dansmith right
18:57:52 dansmith while still being compatible with ocata computes
18:57:58 dansmith and those are somewhat at odds
18:57:58 jaypipes ya
18:59:23 mriedem ok, so again, it's fixing latent bugs which we didn't care about until those latent bugs affected scheduling decisions, which they do now
18:59:48 dansmith they affect ocata scheduler too
19:00:09 dansmith claiming in the scheduler is after the existing decision gets made on the data we're stomping on
19:00:31 dansmith and the stomping just makes placement think there is more room than there is,
19:00:36 dansmith so not claiming doesn't make anything easier
19:00:44 dansmith it makes it less likely to be right, but that's not really useful
19:01:00 mriedem excluding shared storage providers, the computes are eventually consistent aren't they?
19:01:30 mriedem i'll stop asking questions since these are things i've gone in circles on for 2+ weeks now
19:04:47 dansmith I've about got all three patches working together
19:04:58 dansmith which is scary, because I think I was supposed to modify the compute side code to make this work and I haven't done that yet
19:05:11 dansmith (nor do I remember what that was anymore)
19:05:41 mriedem are you fixing the issue in my patch?
19:06:04 dansmith which issue?
19:06:24 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Sum allocations in the scheduler when resizing to the same host https://review.openstack.org/490085
19:06:25 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Handle shared storage allocations when resize to same host https://review.openstack.org/490159
19:06:30 mriedem self.assertFlavorMatcheAllocation
19:06:37 mriedem ^ fixed
19:07:35 dansmith well, I'm just going to push over top of yours
19:07:38 dansmith but yeah I had fixed that
19:09:57 dansmith ooh, nice I'm getting a 500 from placement now
19:10:40 cdent nice work dansmith
19:11:03 dansmith I'll fix this undoubling thing and then push to let you placement peeps look at the 500
19:11:23 cdent yeah, I can look at that when there are some details
19:12:58 mriedem i'm really confused because https://review.openstack.org/490159 is passing the test i added w/o any code changes to handle it
19:15:42 dansmith mriedem: passing what? it failed gibi's same host tests when I put it on top
19:16:07 mriedem this is the shared storage + resize to same host one
19:16:18 mriedem https://review.openstack.org/#/c/490159/ adds a unit test for that and i expected it to fail
19:18:17 mriedem oh no, i know why it's passing
19:18:17 mriedem heh
19:18:45 mriedem yup
19:19:15 mriedem i'll just squash those changes together
19:19:27 dansmith mriedem: can you hold off?
19:19:29 mriedem cdent: ^ is why i'm looping the allocations
