14:26:18 stephenfin mdbooth: I've left comments against the bug. If this is resolved in new version of systemd, we should probably just wait on that rather than unnecessarily seeking root privileges
14:26:32 mdbooth stephenfin: Yeah, that's where I was going to go with that.
14:26:52 stephenfin mdbooth: Cool. Thanks for the input :)
14:26:57 mdbooth It seems we're adding code to Nova to replicate a function of systemd.
14:27:36 mriedem QG: no, tags are free-form defined by the user
14:29:49 QG mriedem: Ok thanks
14:30:06 gibi mriedem: I have bad news about https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1770434
14:30:06 openstack Launchpad bug 1770434 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "affinity filter not work on master branch" [High,Confirmed]
14:30:21 gibi mriedem: it is really broken
14:31:00 gibi mriedem: I had to change the existing tempest test to reproduce it but it is now failing http://logs.openstack.org/49/581349/1/check/tempest-multinode-full/0ac326a/testr_results.html.gz
14:33:17 gibi mriedem: so far I only found that querying the instances that are members of the group returns an empty list https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c0350da4a1607d7aa113caceaefb5d29303c7eed/nova/objects/instance_group.py#L422

14:40:52 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/osc-placement master: Fix docstring for delete allocation method https://review.openstack.org/577075
14:41:00 mriedem gibi: probably want to ask melwitt if that's related to the bug she's already working on
14:41:15 gibi mriedem: to gather the hosts of the members of an instance group we would need to read instances from every cell where are member instances
14:41:16 mriedem https://review.openstack.org/#/c/540258/
14:41:48 gibi mriedem: thanks, seems related
14:46:37 mnaser thanks to whoeve decided to strip out all the extra crazy quotas out of the api
14:46:49 mnaser things are so much cleaner now.
14:49:28 mriedem mnaser: docs or microversion?
14:49:50 mriedem https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#show-a-quota
14:50:00 mnaser microversion i tihnk, nova quota-show shows a lot less things now
14:50:11 mriedem the networking and file injection ones are still there unless you're using nova CLI which defaults to latest available microversion in the server so you won't see those
14:50:14 mriedem yup
14:50:33 mnaser nice on the eyes.
14:51:07 mriedem that's what they said about me in the Mr Minnesota Pageant
14:52:08 mnaser i wouldnt disagree
14:52:08 mnaser ha
14:52:35 mriedem <#
14:52:37 mriedem <3
14:54:17 kashyap mriedem: I only get hits for "Mr & Ms Natural Minnesota" peasants. /me wonders about the 'natural' word there...
14:54:27 kashyap s/peasant/pageant/
14:56:30 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: Use nova.db.api directly https://review.openstack.org/543262
14:58:26 mriedem in case it's not clear, mr minnesota is not a real thing, nor was i a contestant
14:58:39 mriedem but a guy can dream...
15:00:18 gibi melwitt: Can I help somehow with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/540258 ?
15:17:24 kashyap mriedem: Hehe, I know it's not a _real_ thing! Was just teasing :P
15:21:53 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova stable/queens: Refactor _build_device_metadata https://review.openstack.org/581398
15:21:54 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova stable/queens: Consider hostdev devices when building metadata https://review.openstack.org/581399
15:23:31 mriedem gibi: until we're using placement for affinity scheduling, i don't think we can ever do https://review.openstack.org/#/c/581349/ in tempest
15:23:55 mriedem it will always be racy - which is why we have the late affinity check in the compute (which is disabled in default devstack b/c we can't upcall to the api db)
15:24:21 gibi mriedem: that test does not intended to show a race condition
15:24:46 gibi mriedem: I can add sleep between the server create requests and it will still fail
15:25:37 mriedem sure, but when the bug is fixed and we're properly pulling group members, it would start to race
15:26:04 mriedem i'd been meaning to write a functional test for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/540258 but need to look at my notes - it's been awhile
15:26:33 mriedem oh i guess i was going to write a new bug for something that came up during review:
15:26:33 mriedem "We need a new bug and test for the multi-cell affinity scenario where two instances are scheduled at the same time in the same affinity group. We need 2 cells with 1 host each, with exactly enough capacity to fit just one instance so that placement will fail the first request and throw it into the other host in the other cell. The late affinity check in the compute won't fail because it can't see the other member in the
15:26:34 mriedem her cell, so it will think it's fine."
15:27:28 mriedem the tricky part there is our functional tests are able to make up-calls from nova-compute
15:27:34 mriedem we don't have a split mq in our tests
15:27:38 mriedem not sure how easy that would be to do
15:27:40 mriedem dansmith: ^ ?
15:28:33 mriedem well, maybe won't need split mq - just the instances being in different hosts in different cell dbs might do it
15:28:34 dansmith ....yeah
15:28:53 dansmith with the workaround flag you can disable the check right?
15:29:09 mriedem yes
15:29:54 dansmith although I guess that doesn't really do much,
15:29:58 gibi mriedem: do I understand correclty that on master server groups only work if the late check using upcall is enabled?
15:30:00 dansmith obviously if you disable that check it's not going to check
15:30:02 mriedem maybe that type of request wouldn't get past scheduling
15:30:03 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Remove irrelevant comment https://review.openstack.org/578821
15:30:04 openstackgerrit Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Move static _get_power_off_values to compute_utils https://review.openstack.org/578822
15:30:30 mriedem gibi: i don't think so...
15:30:34 mriedem tempest has an anti-affinity test
15:30:50 dansmith mriedem: so, scheduler will look at group.members, get the instance.host for each, and affine to those hosts, right?
15:30:50 gibi mriedem: that is the test I changed to show that master is broken
15:31:02 mriedem gibi: test_create_server_with_scheduler_hint_group_anti_affinity
15:31:03 dansmith which is lossy because those instances might be pre-scheduling
15:31:07 dansmith or rather, pre-build
15:31:24 openstackgerrit Chen proposed openstack/nova master: WIP https://review.openstack.org/581403
15:32:06 gibi mriedem: that tempest test only works because it sends two server create in the same API request
15:32:17 mriedem right, because servers in separate requests is a known race
15:32:34 gibi mriedem: if you wait 10 minutes between the two requests it still doesnt work
15:32:37 gibi mriedem: I tried :)
15:32:46 dansmith gibi: really? why is that?
15:33:19 dansmith the filter is using a potentially stale version of server group, from the beginning of the request, I just noticed
15:33:22 mriedem yeah the HostState.instances dict should be populated per request
15:33:29 dansmith that shouldn't be a problem 10 minutes later though
15:33:36 gibi dansmith: this returns an empty list for the second scheduling https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c0350da4a1607d7aa113caceaefb5d29303c7eed/nova/objects/instance_group.py#L422
15:33:51 mdbooth Just working on this patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/578846/ I called it out in the commit message: the cut/paste in there is horrible, but avoids a refactor. Am I going to get that landed as is, or do I need to look at refactoring the driver interface?
15:34:01 mriedem gibi: and i think that's the bug melwitt is fixing
15:34:01 dansmith gibi: oh on multi-cell?
15:34:05 dansmith that needs to stripe
15:34:06 dansmith yeah
15:34:24 gibi don't we deploy with multi cell _by default_ ?
15:34:39 mdbooth It goes without saying that I don't mind refactoring :) However, I'd also like to both land and backport the code.
15:34:55 mriedem gibi: in devstack yes
15:34:58 dansmith gibi: yeah, this would hit cell0 if your default is cell0, and always be empty
15:35:14 mriedem it's not really 'multi cell' so much as superconductor mode in devstack and how the services are configured
15:35:30 gibi let me rephrase. I our suggested deployment mode (cell_v2) the server group policies are broken
15:35:41 gibi that is my understanding
15:35:50 dansmith gibi: because your default connection is to cell0, which will never return the list of instances, yeah
15:36:03 gibi dansmith: thanks, that explains what I see
15:36:13 dansmith but striping across cells is what needs to happen, which is that bug afaik
15:36:48 gibi dansmith: yeah. this is why offered my help to melwitt above on the fix
15:36:59 dansmith gibi: are we in violent agreement? :)
15:37:06 gibi dansmith: yes
