14:25:07 jroll turns out we never backported that first one >.>
14:32:28 stephenfin lyarwood: Could you look at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636919/ today?
14:37:07 mriedem who's ready to rush some crap in
14:38:04 sean-k-mooney i dont know its only monday :P we have 3 whole days left to rush crap in
14:39:25 stephenfin mriedem: Just tell me what I need to blindly +W
14:44:09 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Add nits from Id2beaa7c4e5780199298f8e58fb6c7005e420a69 https://review.openstack.org/640729

14:56:49 mriedem sounds like a nightmare to me
14:57:40 bauzas mriedem: give me some crap, I'm thirsty
15:00:28 openstackgerrit Kashyap Chamarthy proposed openstack/nova master: qemu: Make disk image conversion dramatically faster https://review.openstack.org/640781
15:00:42 kashyap mdbooth: ^ If you have time.
15:01:38 kashyap (Change itself is a "one-worder"; but the commit message is long, with a back-of-the-envelope "benchmark" & context)
15:13:36 openstackgerrit Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: Ensure that bandwidth and VF are from the same PF https://review.openstack.org/623543
15:13:37 openstackgerrit Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: Support server create with ports having resource request https://review.openstack.org/636360
15:14:02 gibi sean-k-mooney, stephenfin: removed the whitelis tag config extension and added the auto detection of the pf interface name ^^
15:16:01 gibi any feedback are welcome
15:16:41 artom mriedem, well, *my* crap is going to remain unrushed, and will smell delicious by the time it lands ;)
15:17:14 artom efried, btw, I'm +1 on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/635440/9, but I left a question inline
15:20:22 mriedem umm, what actually puts the instance into ERROR state in ^?
15:22:02 artom Gremlins?
15:22:24 jroll .v 37
15:22:29 jroll blurhg, sorry
15:22:35 kashyap :D
15:23:11 cfriesen sean-k-mooney: is it expected that PCI aliases will be configured in the nova-api nova.conf the same as all compute nodes?
15:23:26 sean-k-mooney yes
15:23:35 cfriesen mriedem: there you go ^
15:25:26 mriedem isn't that....weird?
15:25:46 mriedem the computes can have different pci devices right? so wouldn't the alias config be per-compute?
15:29:37 cfriesen mriedem: I assume the idea is that a given alias should mean the same thing across the whole cloud, even if not all computes have that device.
15:31:21 mriedem ok i guess it's true https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/pci-passthrough.html#configure-nova-api-controller
15:31:25 mriedem and documented that way
15:31:32 sean-k-mooney mriedem: it is weird but its needed for reasons
15:31:43 sean-k-mooney im trying to rememebr why
15:31:51 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: do you rememebr ?
15:32:23 sean-k-mooney i think i had something to do with either hardwar offloaded ovs or pci numa policies
15:33:09 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: Why they have to be specified on the API node?
15:33:16 sean-k-mooney cfriesen: it was related to scheduling. we needed the content of teh alias to aloow the schulers to make desissions
15:33:21 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: yes
15:33:47 sean-k-mooney i think it was so the numa toplogy filter could take the pci_numa policy into effect
15:34:08 cfriesen I'm not complaining, it's helpful for the flavor/image validation. :)
15:34:11 stephenfin Nah, it's because it's needed for move operations
15:34:16 stephenfin See b4ce2d9f12ef6d50837e4133dff09fa43fd152d2
15:35:38 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: well the move operations e.g. cold migration need it for schudleing
15:37:05 sean-k-mooney mriedem: the alias does not contain the pci addresses. so it works independenly form the compute nodes for most usecause
15:38:09 sean-k-mooney it does mean if you put the pci vendor and product id in the alias that it has to match across the compute nodes but you are better off haveing 1 alias per device model anyway
15:41:45 mriedem sure
15:42:13 mriedem artom: btw, how is your downstream numa live migration whitebox tempest testing stuff passing if the intel people testing it are finding issues? just different issues from what the CI would hit?
15:42:45 sean-k-mooney mriedem: i responded on the mailing list
15:43:03 sean-k-mooney mriedem: they were using virsh edit to view the xml instead of virsh dumpxml
15:43:15 sean-k-mooney virsh dumpxml shows the current state of the vm
15:43:32 sean-k-mooney virsh edit shows the xml that the vm would have it you were to reboot it
15:44:00 sean-k-mooney it looks like when we update the xml as part of a migration virsh edit still shows the original xml
15:44:33 sean-k-mooney so that is the reason for the delta. the whitebox test use virsh dumpxml which i belive is correct
15:52:53 mriedem (8:39:26 AM) stephenfin: mriedem: Just tell me what I need to blindly +W
15:53:05 mriedem stephenfin: don't go blind on this, but https://review.openstack.org/#/c/623543/
15:53:18 mriedem since gibi abandoned https://review.openstack.org/#/c/625311/
15:53:32 stephenfin mriedem: Yup, already on it (gibi pinged us)
15:53:57 mriedem ok that's a big change so i'll hold off until someone more familiar with the pf/vf/pci stuff has gone through it
15:58:11 gibi mriedem: sorry about the size of that patch, it organicly grow to that
15:59:25 sean-k-mooney gibi: is your current plan to support but the manual tag in the whitelist + the auto disovery of the tag?
16:00:37 sean-k-mooney gibi: im ok with that by the way as a fallback mechanisum ignoring the similar nameing of pf_interface_name and devname
16:01:23 sean-k-mooney oh you have abandoned it never mind im looking at the wrong patch
16:01:27 bauzas gibi: I just started reviewing https://review.openstack.org/#/c/623543/ and I have a concern
16:01:51 gibi sean-k-mooney: I dropped the whitelist support
16:01:54 bauzas gibi: do we agreed on having a pci claim providing a reschedule ?
16:02:03 bauzas (for this I mean)
16:02:27 gibi bauzas: fixing the PCI filter would be a really big work as the filters doesn't know about allocation candidates
16:02:38 sean-k-mooney gibi: cool that was my perference but i could live with it if it was just a fallback for if we could not auto detect it.
16:02:51 bauzas gibi: sure, I'm just saying we haven't this in the spec, right?
16:02:57 gibi sean-k-mooney: libvirt autodetection was pretty small change so I went for it
16:03:20 gibi bauzas: yeah, devil is in the details so this edge case surfaced during implementation
16:03:27 gibi bauzas: I'm planning to retrofit the spec
16:03:48 bauzas gibi: okay, my point is that I want to make sure people are okay with this
16:04:03 gibi bauzas: sure, I also want to make sure, hence the big commit message
16:04:15 bauzas (fwiw, I have the same problem with any NUMA affinity for vGPUs ;) )
16:04:26 bauzas changing the filter is difficult
16:04:58 gibi if we end up fearing the re-schedule then I can drop this patch and document the limitation
16:05:33 bauzas gibi: I'm not really bad with this
16:05:54 bauzas also, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636360/19 is the API microversion that really creates the new feature, right?
16:06:18 gibi bauzas: yes, everything is rejected until https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636360/19
16:06:37 gibi bauzas: everything involving ports with resource request
16:06:45 bauzas yeah, I'm seeing with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/636360/19/nova/api/openstack/common.py
16:06:45 gibi bauzas: except server delete
16:07:06 gibi bauzas: yepp, that is the key
16:15:17 stephenfin gibi: Left a series of nits plus a suggestion to s/pf_interface_name/parent_ifname/, but otherwise +2 on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/623543/ Thanks for tackling that
16:16:21 bauzas gibi: just to make it clear, if you solve https://review.openstack.org/#/c/623543/39//COMMIT_MSG by the compute claim, that means that you check the compute version for all the move ops ?
16:17:05 gibi stephenfin: I'm OK to rename the key to parent_ifname
16:17:20 stephenfin and I'm OK to re-review if you do :)
16:17:25 bauzas don't see any of this in https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/stein/approved/bandwidth-resource-provider.html#upgrade-impact
16:17:50 gibi bauzas: I think you found a problem
16:18:18 gibi bauzas: we did not planned to check the compute version
16:19:08 gibi bauzas: right now if you boot a server and the scheduler select a host that is still Rocky then the pci claim fails as the new pf_interface_name key will be missing from the pci spec
16:19:25 gibi bauzas: so no resource inconsistency but more re-schedule will happen
