21:18:07 efried Tell ya, wait til you're my age. You'll never have the stamina.
21:18:20 mriedem that's why i take that thing that frank thomas is selling
21:18:32 mriedem nugenix
21:18:55 mriedem https://www.ispot.tv/ad/wZA8/nugenix-fan-featuring-frank-thomas
21:19:13 mriedem "stronger and leaner"
21:19:18 efried a powerful, man-boosting innovation
21:19:19 mriedem the guy has been like 300lb for 20 years
21:19:32 mriedem man boosting testafen
21:19:42 mriedem my passion levels will be through the roof!
21:27:01 edleafe It's cute watching you young 'uns talking about being old.
21:29:16 dansmith hush, dad's home!
21:29:34 melwitt hah :D
21:29:54 mriedem i'll grab the hearin' cone
21:30:25 dansmith that said, I'm quite sure edleafe remembers being 36 and feeling like life was over
21:33:07 efried Any time I think of 36... https://youtu.be/q6zhOdroJCE?t=1347
21:33:49 mriedem umm, yikes
21:38:12 melwitt for the native thread logging related gate issues, will there always be a message somewhere in the logs that says "cannot switch to a different thread"?
21:38:26 mriedem yeah
21:39:35 melwitt okay. I was wondering if it could be related to the stable branch cells v1 job 100% fails. libvirt is getting "connection broke" as though something is holding up the tpool and never letting it continue
21:39:55 melwitt (I noticed all the libvirt calls go through eventlet.tpool)
21:40:12 melwitt but the "cannot switch to a different thread" isn't in the logs anywhere
21:41:11 melwitt I've been investigating it but haven't figured out anything yet
21:41:58 dansmith the libvirt driver uses native threads properly
21:42:08 dansmith so it should be fine unless something has regressed (or was never right)
21:42:40 dansmith the connection issue with libvirt almost always means libvirtd crashed,
21:42:51 dansmith which happens a lot more than it should
21:43:59 melwitt yeah. in this case it hasn't crashed. it's as if something held it up so long that the connection dropped from not getting keepalive, or something like that
21:44:19 Roamer` melwitt, what OS is this happening on? Could it be the Ubuntu py27/eventlet problem? http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-January/126580.html
21:44:34 melwitt I was wondering if any other library also using eventlet could have made it so it never switches back to the libvirt driver
21:44:46 dansmith melwitt: why do you say it hasn't crashed?
21:45:25 melwitt dansmith: because from syslog and libvirtd I couldn't find any crashing. unless I totally don't know what I'm looking at, which is possible
21:45:45 dansmith melwitt: link?
21:45:46 melwitt Roamer`: it's ubuntu xenial. and that's what I was wondering, but I'm still grasping at straws at this point
21:46:34 melwitt dansmith: here's an example from recently http://logs.openstack.org/04/536904/3/check/legacy-tempest-dsvm-cells/13aacfc/logs/screen-n-cpu.txt.gz#_2018-01-25_19_06_13_271
21:50:24 dansmith hmm, empty journal on that one?
21:50:25 dansmith that's weird
21:51:26 melwitt I feel like I've seen that before
21:52:56 dansmith yeah, libvirtd doesn't look like it was restarted across that connection failure boundary
21:52:58 mriedem interestingly, it's the first guest to be created it looks like http://logs.openstack.org/04/536904/3/check/legacy-tempest-dsvm-cells/13aacfc/logs/libvirt/qemu/instance-0000000a.txt.gz
21:53:17 dansmith this would be the first time I've ever seen that symptom not associated with a crash
21:53:34 dansmith so I still feel a little doubtful, but it's certainly not as glaring as normal
21:53:41 mriedem makes me think of this https://review.openstack.org/#/c/526748/
21:53:50 mriedem where guestfs on the first bring up runs in a tpool
21:53:56 mriedem to get the guestfs capabilities
21:54:14 dansmith so I wonder if it's something like qemu crashes and the libvirt thread we're talking to exits or something
21:54:23 melwitt yeah, that's kinda how I found that patch of yours mriedem
21:54:48 dansmith the journal should have dmesg in it to capture any segv
21:55:07 dansmith but we don't have qemu logs otherwise
21:55:10 melwitt I wonder if the journal collection on the jobs has been busted this whole time
21:55:32 melwitt or is it not always empty?
21:55:51 dansmith it wasn't busted a month or so ago
21:55:52 melwitt I haven't tried to look at it before
21:55:56 melwitt oh okay
21:56:24 dansmith I expect it would be in syslog too, but it's clearer in the journal
21:57:25 melwitt I didn't see anything that looked like crashing in syslog http://logs.openstack.org/04/536904/3/check/legacy-tempest-dsvm-cells/13aacfc/logs/syslog.txt.gz
21:57:38 dansmith 2018-01-25 19:06:13.215+0000: 3732: error : virKeepAliveTimerInternal:143 : internal error: connection closed due to keepalive timeout
21:57:45 dansmith is right before you get it in nova
21:59:13 melwitt where do you see that? libvirtd.log?
21:59:27 dansmith I think this is all in a separate thread in nova so it shouldn't be that nova is hung up and unable to do the keepalive bit, unless it's just system starvation of some sort
21:59:30 dansmith yeah, libvirt
21:59:50 melwitt damn
22:00:06 dansmith and nova is doing stuff milliseconds before that, so it's not hung I don't think
22:00:51 dansmith oh yeah in the nova log:
22:00:52 dansmith 2018-01-25 19:06:13.224 16016 INFO nova.virt.libvirt.driver [req-ea2c4c13-3bbe-4b35-a2b3-84976c11fc4b - -] Connection event '0' reason 'Connection to libvirt lost'
22:01:08 dansmith that's the real thread detecting the connection close
22:01:20 dansmith oooh, but
22:01:49 dansmith 2018-01-25 19:06:09.554 16016 DEBUG oslo_messaging._drivers.amqpdriver [-] received reply msg_id: 9ebc51b2583b4f4da811e951e41068c9 __call__ /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/oslo_messaging/_drivers/amqpdriver.py:407

22:02:00 dansmith that is five seconds apart with nothing in between
22:02:48 openstackgerrit Jim Rollenhagen proposed openstack/nova master: Add functional tests for virt driver get_traits() method https://review.openstack.org/538047
22:02:58 melwitt hm
22:03:04 dansmith meh, I dunno, looking around that I don't think that's anything related to being stuck though
22:03:14 dansmith because that's the exact instant libvirt logs its message
22:06:48 openstackgerrit Jim Rollenhagen proposed openstack/nova master: Add functional tests for virt driver get_traits() method https://review.openstack.org/538047
22:08:40 jackie-truong dansmit, mriedem: re: git commands
22:08:52 jroll mriedem: ^ see my comment there, fairly certain some of this traits stack is somewhat broken. probably fine to land as drivers aren't using it yet, but ya know.
22:09:12 jackie-truong i want to add a /new/ file (test_trusted_certs.py) to a patch in the middle of my patch stack
22:09:47 jackie-truong checking out the top of the patch stack, then adding and committing the file results in the file being added to the top patch
22:09:52 mriedem efried: https://gist.github.com/jimrollenhagen/384077e2ed606ee84051cb4a7f66c51c
22:10:08 mriedem jackie-truong: git rebase -i master
22:10:10 dansmith jackie-truong: right, so git rebase -i master, edit the middle patch, git add path/to/file, git commit --amend -a
22:10:14 mriedem jackie-truong: edit the commit you want to add the file to,
22:10:20 mriedem create said file,
22:10:22 mriedem git add <file>
22:10:25 mriedem git rebase --continue
22:11:06 jackie-truong ah, i rarely actually edit commits when rebasing from master. got it, thanks again
22:11:09 efried mriedem VMX ain't a standard trait, or a valid CUSTOM_ one.
22:11:22 efried jroll ^
22:11:24 mriedem efried: it's in os-traits
22:11:29 jroll ^
22:12:24 mriedem oh wait
22:12:25 mriedem i see
22:12:28 mriedem jroll: he's right
22:12:29 efried HW_CPU_X86_VMX ?
22:12:39 mriedem yeah, the traits are generated from their directory structure within os-traits
22:12:44 jroll oh gdi
22:12:54 mriedem https://docs.openstack.org/os-traits/latest/user/index.html
22:15:54 jroll mriedem: efried: that did it, now I feel dumb, thanks :)
22:16:08 mriedem don't feel dumb
22:16:16 efried For not understanding the bizarre architecture of os-traits? Yeah, what mriedem said.
