#openstack-nova - 2017-10-24
14:12:23 sahid not sure i do understand what you try to say, we change a field so we bump the version, that seem simple
14:12:28 stephenfin +1 Consider it a point learned :) I'll go add those missing versioning functions and hope no one's deploying os-vif from master, heh
14:12:53 dansmith sahid: because just recording a version does not do anything if you can't support the old one
14:13:17 dansmith sahid: it's not a commit log, it serves an actual purpose, unless you break the rules and then it does nothing but communicates to people something you can't do
14:13:27 ralonsoh stephenfin: should I add a make_compatible in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/508498?
14:13:39 sahid it's just to keep history as a chnagelog is doing
14:13:41 ralonsoh stephenfin: and in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/509107/?
14:13:48 dansmith sahid: it is not
14:14:38 sahid okay okay you win, i'm not going to arguing all the day for something so minor :)
14:14:42 sahid please do what you prefer
14:14:58 stephenfin ralonsoh: Yes please, and sorry for sending you the wrong direction :(
14:15:07 ralonsoh stephenfin: no problem at all
14:16:15 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: Parse numbered & unnumbered resources & traits https://review.openstack.org/514091
14:16:16 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Numbered groupings to GET /allocation_candidates https://review.openstack.org/514092
14:16:58 mriedem sahid: breaking version compatibility isn't really a minor thing
14:17:11 mriedem it also affects whether or not you can backport patches
14:17:17 sahid mriedem: it was not the case
14:17:31 dansmith especially for a library to provide cross-service communication primitives
14:18:02 sahid os-vif is not shared by services as you and dansmith seem to think on the review
14:18:17 dansmith that is the *purpose* of the library
14:18:40 dansmith just because I can hammer this square peg into this round hole doesn't mean it's a good idea
14:19:14 sahid it's you point of view and i do not share it, but no worries we don't have to be always agreed :)
14:19:29 dansmith you don't agree that os-vif is supposed to be shared between services?
14:20:09 dansmith from the os-vif page: "Integration library between network (Neutron) and compute (Nova) providers"
14:20:11 dansmith that's the intent
14:21:22 mriedem sahid: is your argument / justification that since nova and neutron are not yet doing vif negotation using os-vif objects, it's not something we have to worry about?
14:23:04 sahid mriedem: the field has been updated, incrementing the version seem to be a good practice
14:23:13 sahid that is not going to break anything
14:24:07 mriedem it would break me if i were using version < 1.2 of that object and had the dhcp_server field set
14:24:28 mriedem and moved to >= 1.2 where dhcp_server no longer exists
14:24:41 sahid no, that can't happen
14:24:52 mriedem probably more clear to say, i have 1.2 with dhcp_servers set, and downgrade to 1.1
14:25:06 mriedem there is no compatibility routine for converting dhcp_servers to dhcp_server
14:25:31 sahid but again, os-vif is not shared between service, you seem to forgot that point
14:25:45 mriedem sahid: can you clarify that point per my question above?
14:26:01 mriedem do you mean it's not shared because we haven't yet implemented the vif negotiation code between nova and neutron?
14:26:12 mriedem you realize that's the intent and goal with the library though right?
14:27:22 sahid mriedem: yes and it's probably why i do think incrementing the version seems to be a good pratice
14:29:44 mriedem so wouldn't good practice actually be treating this like it was being shared across services already and follow the rules?
14:30:12 mriedem rather than saying, "at version 1.4 we actually started caring"
14:31:54 sahid mriedem: i would say no, we don't want to add code and maintain code which is not necessary, i do prefer say that we start caring at version 1.4
14:33:23 sahid seems to be a reasonable and usual way to use versioning
14:43:43 cdent mdbooth, or anyone else. I have a vague memory of a bug wherein a moved server could have an image removed out from under it because of a bug in cache handling. related to auto resize confirm. any recollections or clues to where to find such a thing?
14:44:03 mdbooth Yep
14:44:40 mdbooth https://review.openstack.org/#/c/462521/
14:45:20 cdent mdbooth: thank you!
14:45:44 mdbooth cdent: The 'fix' is really a workaround
14:45:54 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Accept InternalError through the API https://review.openstack.org/514702
14:46:25 cdent mdbooth: as is so often the case
14:46:25 mdbooth Because it turns out our datamodel doesn't currently allow us to easily identify when an image in the local image cache is still in use by the destination host of a migration
14:46:48 mdbooth Fixing the datamodel would be better, but this is also good on its own merits, I think
15:15:47 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/os-traits master: add plathform security namespaces https://review.openstack.org/514712
15:15:48 openstackgerrit sean mooney proposed openstack/os-traits master: add firmware (fw) traits namespace https://review.openstack.org/514713
15:28:53 openstackgerrit Elod Illes proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Transform scheduler.select_destinations notification https://review.openstack.org/508506
15:31:24 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova stable/pike: fix nova accepting invalid availability zone name with ':' https://review.openstack.org/509656
15:31:29 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Move the idmapshift binary into privsep. https://review.openstack.org/495541
15:41:30 bauzas dansmith: mriedem: do you know if jay is around by those days or just off ?
15:41:44 bauzas I'm just implementing the VGPU series and I'd like to hear some voice
15:41:46 efried bauzas He's doing all his new-hire stuff at his new job.
15:41:50 bauzas ah ok
15:41:58 efried Said he would probably be back tomorrow or the next day.
15:42:22 bauzas so I'll speak out loud, if anyone cares
15:42:36 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: Move loopback setup and removal to privsep. https://review.openstack.org/495664
15:42:38 efried I'll listen. And maybe even care :)
15:42:53 dansmith I'll care. And maybe even listen.
15:43:08 bauzas given a pGPU can support different types for the same device, we supposingly said in the spec we'll use a whitelist for telling which type to use
15:43:57 bauzas now for Queens it's easy as we said we would only support a single type
15:44:14 bauzas so I'm basically accumulating all the available vGPUs for the same type
15:44:46 bauzas now, my question is more Rocky (but since I'm designing the internal interfaces now, I'd make my model resilient to the changes)
15:45:05 bauzas what if as an operator, I'm asking for 2 types?
15:45:21 bauzas then, I guess I'd use the nested RP model, and have a RP per type?
15:45:30 bauzas that's where I'm confused
15:45:49 mriedem stephenfin: please drop your +2 from this, it's wrong https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507151/
15:45:59 bauzas I mean, it would probably better for me to just upload my current patch so we could discuss
15:46:05 bauzas nevermind the above
15:46:14 bauzas I'll just push something that will create a discussion
15:46:39 efried bauzas This is a good example of where traits != settings.
15:47:21 efried bauzas You would model your pGPU as the RP. It would have inventory of VGPU. And it would have one trait for each vGPU type it supports.
15:47:43 efried bauzas Then when you ask for a vGPU, you would specify as a required trait which type you want to be created.
15:47:47 mriedem stephenfin: docs question - we now have a nova/user/index but nothing links to that from the main index right?
15:47:50 mriedem so how do people find it?
15:48:03 edleafe efried: no, that's what nested RPs should be doing
15:48:05 mriedem or is that wip?
15:48:07 efried bauzas And then [something TBD] tells virt which types you want to create.
15:48:21 dansmith efried: well, you can't do that if it has a limited number of each type it can provide
15:48:25 efried edleafe Nested only applies if you want to pre-create the vGPUs of a specific type.
15:48:29 stephenfin mriedem: That's WIP. sdague, asettle and I have been working through some ideas on how to structure that
15:48:32 dansmith efried: in that case you'd need to expose two sets of inventory (i.e. be two providers)
15:48:41 bauzas yeah, that's my point
15:48:41 stephenfin I do think I have a patch up to resolve just that though
15:48:42 efried edleafe or if you want to limit the number of each type you can create on the fly.
15:48:48 bauzas it's not an easy answer to me
15:49:05 bauzas we should only have nested RPs if we need more than one inventory for a single resource provider
15:49:05 mriedem stephenfin: ok i'm moving some missing stuff from the old user guide, and was wondering if i should put it in the user index or in the main index - guessing the user index since the main index will point htere
15:49:20 efried dansmith bauzas I'm thinking of the case where the vGPUs are created on the fly, and they can be of any type, and that type gets determined at boot.
15:49:25 bauzas that's a tautology, I assume, but that would mean we would need to track consumption of those resources separately
15:49:27 edleafe efried: bauzas asked: 10:45 < bauzas>| then, I guess I'd use the nested RP model, and have a RP per type?
15:49:43 dansmith efried: yeah, if it's just a configuration thing, then that's fine
15:50:06 stephenfin mriedem: That would be my thinking yes pages in '/X' belong in '/X/index'
15:50:09 edleafe efried: if there is only one type, then nested isn't needed, of course
