#openstack-nova - 2018-10-08
16:29:08 sean-k-mooney fungi: no but its posibly that thrid party plugins that manage ovs interfaces will need the same fix
16:30:02 fungi okay, so similar fixes may need to be applied to third-party ovs interface management plugins but not to any others officially managed by openstack as far as you're aware?
16:31:04 sean-k-mooney i just checked the linux bridge plugin and it does not need a similar fix as far as i can tell. so no none that i am aware of
16:31:41 fungi and what's the situation with https://review.openstack.org/602432 ? is that going to be abandoned as unneeded?
16:31:42 sean-k-mooney there are two out of tree plugins that i need to follow up on but i will check them and contact there maintianer if they need the same fix
16:32:24 sean-k-mooney fungi: yes i was going to that said i had planned on following up with the libvirt folks to see why it times out sometimes
16:34:05 sean-k-mooney we have had the issues using the ethernet iterface type in the past and i would like them to confirm why it does not work correctly in this case. that said its not relevent in to the bug disucssion
16:35:01 fungi okay, once you get a summary of the present state added to the bug and we get some confirmation that https://review.openstack.org/602384 is in line with stable policy, the vmt can write up an impact description, request a cve assignment and get the ball rolling on issuing an advisory
16:35:57 fungi and thanks for taking the time to explain this to me in such detail!
16:36:26 mriedem we'll want a release note on the os-vif change, we'll bump upper-constraints on stable but not lower-constraints,
16:36:31 sean-k-mooney fungi: no worries. i probably went into too much detail :)
16:36:43 mriedem it's unclear to me what, if any, side effects we could have on stable with different versions of ovs/libvirt being used
16:37:04 mriedem e.g. will libvirt complain if the port already exists because os-vif created it?
16:37:17 fungi yeah, some input on whether this is deemed safe enough to backport would also be most welcome
16:37:19 mriedem would libvirt create a duplicate?
16:37:20 sean-k-mooney this wont be effected by ovs. it may or may not be effected by libvirt version
16:37:55 sean-k-mooney mriedem: that is a good question and why i create https://review.openstack.org/#/c/602432/2 in the first place
16:38:18 sean-k-mooney i was expecting libvirt to be unhappy but the os-vif change passed tempest
16:39:33 sean-k-mooney mriedem: i think libivrt is doing th right thing here and recognising the port exits but it would be good to validate this espcially when backporting
16:40:56 mriedem you might want to start getting the backports lined up before we merge anything on master
16:41:29 mriedem i know we at least test different versions of libvirt in the gate between pike/queens and rocky/stein
16:42:23 sean-k-mooney mriedem: right ill -w the patch for now and respin with the release note then backport
16:43:41 sean-k-mooney i would be less comfrotable about backporting the nova change then the os-vif change to be hoenst as i dont really trust the libvirt ethernet type
16:57:34 sean-k-mooney moshele: you mentioned that macvtap livemigration was broken after the multiple port binings change.
16:58:41 sean-k-mooney moshele: i have fixed part of the issue locally but looking at https://github.com/openstack/nova/blame/fc58addab06134d7e6274a94d1ce456b0328723f/nova/network/neutronv2/api.py#L3054-L3062 live migration should have always been broken as the pci_mappings are only populated on cold migrate
16:58:48 moshele sean-k-mooney: broken if you don't need to update the pci address
16:59:52 moshele sean-k-mooney: it always broken if we need to change the pci_adress but if it the same on src and dest it should work (I think)
17:00:21 sean-k-mooney so i was able to migate the vm but nothing actully claimed the pci device on the new node
17:00:43 sean-k-mooney as a result we hit the exception in the else clause in post live migrate dest
17:00:45 openstackgerrit Jan Gutter proposed openstack/os-vif master: Add support for generic representors https://review.openstack.org/608693
17:01:22 sean-k-mooney moshele: cold migrate was definetly broken but i dont think upstream nova ever wroked with livemigation due to that check
17:02:32 sean-k-mooney i.e. cold migrate used to work before multilple port binidngs
17:05:03 moshele sean-k-mooney: so live migration with macvtap never worked, but the multiple port binding a new bug to it
17:06:22 sean-k-mooney moshele: basically yes. so when i apply https://review.openstack.org/#/c/607365/ locally it correct the multiple port binding issue and live migrtion only fails because we dont claim the device on teh destination node
17:07:01 sean-k-mooney assumeing the pci address does not change. i.e. we also are missing the xml update code.
17:07:47 sean-k-mooney in anycase im going to lookin to how we do the claim in the cold migrate case and see if i can reuse that for live migration.
17:08:23 moshele sean-k-mooney: we can't be cause it use the migration context (move_claim)
17:09:18 moshele sean-k-mooney: we need just to call the pci resource tracker to claim it (and not call the move_claim)
17:09:53 sean-k-mooney ya i have scked that out also but i want to get migration without the claim working first then ill add the claim
17:11:04 moshele this is the cold migration and resize claim https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/b4a3cdbe6e6a139dc11730c3046b728fb13d52e9/nova/compute/resource_tracker.py#L310-L354
17:11:18 sean-k-mooney im just going to comment out the exception in the else block for now and add a todo/log then once i have migration back and fort working reliable with a singel vm ill add the claim logic and xml update code
17:11:24 moshele we should sub set of this just for pci
17:12:29 sean-k-mooney cool thanks yes what i really just wanted to grab out of that was how it was calling the resouce tracker to do the claim fo the devices as i was going to do it simlarly
17:13:13 sean-k-mooney anyway im going to go grab dinner but just wanted to checkin with you on the migration work.
17:15:01 moshele sean-k-mooney: let do a meeting about this thursday when adrianc will be back to sync on everything
18:06:08 mriedem guh, instance.launched_on, why
18:14:17 mriedem dansmith: true story, resize_claim doesn't handle volume-backed instance disk usage reporting properly yet...
18:20:21 mdbooth mriedem: Do we have an etherpad for BFV gaps?
18:20:33 mriedem not that i know of
18:21:22 mriedem https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1796737
18:21:22 openstack Launchpad bug 1796737 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "resize: hypervisor local_gb_used still reports usage even with volume-backed instances after fix for bug 1469179" [Undecided,New]
18:21:43 mriedem i only hit this b/c of some functional tests in my cross-cell resize bafoonery
18:22:21 mdbooth You going to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?
18:22:25 mdbooth Or move on...
18:22:41 mriedem it's a relatively easy fix,
18:22:57 mriedem but i'll be commenting this out in my cross-cell resize test until fixed
18:24:16 melwitt I wonder if the old func test from my NAKed bug 1469179 interim fix would be helpful. it did things like verify local_gb not reported after resize, shelve etc
18:24:16 openstack bug 1469179 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "instance.root_gb should be 0 for volume-backed instances" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1469179 - Assigned to Dan Smith (danms)
18:25:09 mriedem it's a very easy recreate
18:25:14 mriedem resize a volume-backed instance and check disk usage
18:25:18 mriedem in the hypervisors API
18:25:28 melwitt I know, I'm saying I wrote a func test back then that does all of that
18:25:59 melwitt it was this one https://review.openstack.org/#/c/428505/19/nova/tests/functional/test_boot_from_volume.py
18:27:37 melwitt it does resize, shelve, unshelve, rebuild
18:30:59 mriedem does it julienne cut?
18:32:54 melwitt well, I thought it might help if you're finding gaps with local_gb not being handled correctly after server actions. those were the other ones I tested
18:33:37 mdbooth_bus The shelve-o-matic
18:33:43 mriedem yeah, i know, thanks. :) i'm just joking about julienne cuts.
18:33:51 melwitt at the time that I was trying to fix the bug with the patch that's now part of starlingX
18:37:34 mriedem yeah i can restore that test locally and see what fails still with context on this resize_claim bug
19:01:48 mdbooth_bus b
19:02:15 mdbooth_bus mriedem: Do you happen to remember where the local ephemeral root bdm is defined?
19:02:42 mdbooth_bus I'm trying to re-grok the bdm code in compute api, and I'm running out of mental cache
19:02:58 mdbooth_bus Also, it's really late and I'm on a bus
19:03:49 mdbooth_bus There's a comment which suggests that the client does it, but I couldn't find it there, either
19:04:45 mriedem yeah the api creates a thing, sec
19:09:31 mriedem nova.block_device.create_image_bdm creates it,
19:09:40 mriedem called from nova.block_device.from_legacy_mapping,
19:09:44 mdbooth_bus mriedem: Thanks
19:09:58 mriedem called from the api
19:09:59 mriedem at some point
19:10:06 mriedem totally not obvious
19:10:51 mdbooth_bus Wow, I'd already found and dismissed the from_legacy_mapping call
19:11:00 mdbooth_bus Yeah, that's not obvious, thanks
19:11:31 mriedem right b/c even if you use bdm_v2 you end up down that legacy path which is confusin
19:11:39 mriedem since legacy should mean bdm v1
19:12:21 mriedem legacy_image_defined = not image_properties.get('bdm_v2', False)
19:12:33 mriedem ^ is the source of the confusion
19:12:39 mriedem in _get_image_defined_bdms
19:12:44 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: VMware: Live migration of instances https://review.openstack.org/270116
19:13:05 mdbooth_bus 'legacy' there presumably meant you specified --image <imageid> rather than --blockdevice ...image-fu...
19:13:26 mriedem maybe
19:13:54 mdbooth_bus Anyway, that's saved me a bunch of bleary-eyed staring at code, thanks
19:14:21 mriedem mayhap i should throw some comments in that code
19:16:35 mdbooth_bus Oh, I think I'm about to arrive after that. Night...
19:23:09 melwitt I marked that bp as complete ^ after removing it from the runway
19:37:01 mriedem we can remove nova-cyborg-interaction from the runways queue right?
19:37:44 melwitt yeah, I wasn't sure if we should leave the note on it for whoever put it there, so they know why it's not going to be added to a runway
19:37:57 mriedem i'm assuming sundar added it
19:38:14 mriedem i would probably just remove it
