19:58:36 mriedem but at least your teeth are clean
19:58:37 efried jaypipes: Geez, you try to do something nice for the dog...
19:58:51 jaypipes indeed.
19:58:53 mriedem unless there was...splatter
19:59:21 sean-k-mooney mriedem: ew, let hop not for jaypipes sake
19:59:24 efried jaypipes: You want a quick feeling of satisfaction, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/545111/ ought to be eligible for quick-approve :)
19:59:29 sean-k-mooney *hope
19:59:55 mriedem efried: i'll take a look again at that after this
19:59:57 jaypipes my dogs have become a nested provider tree with inventory of DOG_SHIT_KG
20:00:07 efried rofl
20:00:08 mriedem CUSTOM_DOG_SHIT_KG?
20:00:11 tssurya lol
20:00:14 jaypipes yes, sorry.
20:00:19 jaypipes well corrected, mriedem
20:00:22 mriedem :)
20:00:31 sean-k-mooney mriedem: i dont know me might want to standarise it
20:01:03 jaypipes sean-k-mooney: os-dog-poop?
20:01:26 jaypipes though that's a big specific. os-poop would be more generic and future proof.
20:01:27 efried Well, we already have os-brick
20:01:35 jaypipes well played efried
20:01:39 sean-k-mooney jaypipes: you know im surprised you have not come up with an os-pug yet
20:03:16 jaypipes sean-k-mooney: Provider Usage Group.
20:03:40 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Don't log a warning for InstanceNotFound with deleted VIFs https://review.openstack.org/554591
20:07:34 dansmith jaypipes: loaded question for you in here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544694/2/specs/rocky/approved/alloc-candidates-member-of.rst
20:07:40 mriedem efried: edmondsw: question inline about evacuate https://review.openstack.org/#/c/545111/
20:10:03 edmondsw mriedem looking
20:10:36 mriedem also,
20:10:53 mriedem at some point, we should not have powervm specs for 'implement random feature parity stuff in our driver',
20:11:04 mriedem just do what other virt drivers do and have specless feature parity blueprints per feature in questoin
20:11:34 sean-k-mooney mriedem: for https://review.openstack.org/554591 are the network-vif-deleted event generated by neutron port being deleted as part of instance deleteion or are they neutron vif unplugged events form the ports being removed from ovs?
20:11:40 efried mriedem: That would be lovely. Are we at that point yet?
20:11:52 mriedem efried: i'm ok with that if melwitt is
20:12:17 mriedem sean-k-mooney: the former
20:12:29 melwitt mriedem, efried: sounds fine to me
20:12:52 efried Cool beans. edmondsw esberglu ^.
20:12:52 sean-k-mooney mriedem: ok then ya that makes sense to me. i just was not sure where the event was comming from
20:13:26 efried mriedem, melwitt: But for this release, since we're already here, use the bp/spec that's proposed, yah?
20:13:39 mriedem shrug, i personally don't care for the wishlist
20:13:53 mriedem because it just seems really random
20:13:55 melwitt is the proposed spec all just feature parity stuff?
20:14:05 mriedem and i see adding support for hot plugging vifs was added after PS3
20:14:05 efried melwitt: yes
20:14:05 edmondsw I'm happy to abandon this and start using specless blueprints this release
20:14:13 efried ++
20:14:31 mriedem there are no actual design details in the spec, so it's not really useful imo
20:14:34 sean-k-mooney mriedem: so just to follow on from that, does that mean if i delete a neutron port that is bound to an instance that automatically results in a notifcation to nova to call detach interface on the virt driver?
20:14:36 mriedem so specless bp is fine
20:14:36 edmondsw yep
20:14:47 melwitt sounds reasonable to me
20:14:48 mriedem sean-k-mooney: yup
20:15:12 efried Sweet. Swat that paperwork down!
20:15:51 sean-k-mooney mriedem: hum ok is that documented anywhere. it kind of makes sense i just would not have expected neutron to allow you to delete teh port in that case
20:16:04 edmondsw mriedem to the evacuate question... I'm honestly not sure if there's anything more to it than a) supporting moving to another host in general and b) updating the support matrix
20:16:21 jaypipes dansmith: will try to answer it first thing in the morning... been a day. having a beer.
20:16:34 dansmith jaypipes: oh you said you were getting to work, so I figured you were around
20:16:54 dansmith mah bad, tomorrow is fine
20:17:57 melwitt getting to work cleaning dog poodoo
20:18:07 mriedem edmondsw: someone on your dev or qa team could actually test it first
20:18:11 mriedem to flush out any obvious problems
20:18:21 edmondsw mriedem oh definitely
20:18:29 edmondsw was just talking from a code perspective
20:18:58 mriedem sean-k-mooney: good question; i didn't trace the requests in the tempest job to see if the port was actually detached before it was deleted, or what the order was there,
20:19:15 mriedem sean-k-mooney: should be pretty easy to find out - create a server from a pre-existing port and try to delete the port
20:19:24 mriedem i don't have a devstack handy
20:19:32 mriedem i know you can't delete an attached volume
20:19:48 sean-k-mooney mriedem: ill give it a try i think i have an env running
20:23:26 openstackgerrit Eric Berglund proposed openstack/nova master: DNM: EXPERIMENTAL: Set proc_units_factor to 0.1 in VMBuilder init https://review.openstack.org/554688
20:23:49 sean-k-mooney mriedem: so ya i can create the port, boot with it then delete it and the interface gets detatched from the running vm
20:23:59 sean-k-mooney mriedem: im just going to check the xml to confirm
20:24:35 sean-k-mooney mriedem: yep the vm no has no nics
20:25:08 sean-k-mooney i wonder if the revers works. can i create a neutron port and then set its owner to a vm and trigger an attache
20:27:04 cfriesen So in the discussion around https://review.openstack.org/#/c/552924/ something interesting has come up...currently vcpus and 4KB pages can be consumed on a compute-node bases (where it floats across the whole compute node) or on a numa-node basis (where it's constrained to a single numa node) depending on whether the instance has a numa topology or not. (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.
20:27:06 cfriesen py#L4435) This makes it hard to reason about resource tracking.
20:30:54 mriedem sean-k-mooney: no the reverse doesn't work,
20:31:05 mriedem not might get a network-vif-plugged event but it won't know what to do with it and just log a warning
20:31:10 mriedem *nova
20:31:33 sean-k-mooney mriedem: ya just tried it.
20:31:40 mriedem the fact you can delete a port while it's attached is pretty scary
20:31:43 sean-k-mooney i create another port and did openstack port set --device 55a08a3b-fd27-495f-85da-39eedd5fde9c --device-owner "compute:nova" --host "ubuntu" myport
20:32:01 sean-k-mooney it ended up binding the port on the host correctly
20:32:18 sean-k-mooney im going to do a hard reboot but i think it will then update the xml correctly
20:32:31 mriedem in the compute api we check instance states when detaching a port,
20:32:34 edleafe dansmith: sorry, was away. Yes, the idea for member_of was "member of at least one of these". The typical use case would be only 1 agg.
20:32:39 mriedem but the networking api wouldn't have that
20:32:47 mriedem so you could detach ports by deleting them while an instance is migrating
20:33:14 mriedem which seems, not good
20:34:02 cfriesen does it mess up our accounting?
20:34:59 cfriesen why is "while it's migrating" different than "while it's running"?
20:35:34 sean-k-mooney mriedem: strange the hard reboot did not cause the interface to show up either. i must be missing something that the attach/detach whould have done
20:36:24 dansmith edleafe: yeah, so that's kinda what I was thinking at first, but then I tried to apply it to two things at once, so:
20:36:42 dansmith edleafe: imagine I have a tenant-restricted aggregate and the user boots with a requested AZ
20:37:08 dansmith edleafe: if I just concatenate the tenant and az list, then I won't restrict them properly
20:37:18 efried cfriesen: Are you suggesting that somewhere in the stack there will be code responsible for translating the allocation_request for [PCPU:2 from NUMA_RP_1] to [PCPU:2 from NUMA_RP_1 + VCPU:2 from compute node RP] ??
20:37:37 mriedem cfriesen: it was an example of a bad time to detach a port
20:37:49 cfriesen efried: I'm suggesting that our logic right now is not rigorous. :)
20:37:53 dansmith edleafe: I can restrict the tenant aggs to only the one that matches the az, but they might not be the same size (and thus are different)
20:38:00 sean-k-mooney right we could have already caluated the new xml and miss the port is being removed
20:38:02 mriedem we do refresh the nw info cache when we get network-vif-deleted events
20:38:18 dansmith edleafe: I think placement _could_ know whether one is a subset of the other, but I can't really
20:38:43 efried dansmith, edleafe: Do we need member_of=all:... ?
