#openstack-nova - 2019-09-16
11:28:13 sean-k-mooney i dont want to take gate time form it
11:28:33 lyarwood ack I'll continue to hold off then, wasn't sure if you were just talking about landing new stuff or posting.
11:28:47 sean-k-mooney if its small sure. if you have 10 pending patchs for different thing i dont know
11:29:08 sean-k-mooney today is the cut off to not need an FFE i think
11:29:14 lyarwood kk
11:31:19 sean-k-mooney artom: :) not quite but as a person who previously worked at a hardware companiy im very carful of claims of hardware releatd security features
11:32:16 sean-k-mooney artom: also at this point any limitation of the technology are well within amd's court to go fix aspiers work is quite good
11:34:16 sean-k-mooney aspiers: the only real feedback i would give is the images are a little hard to read without clicking on them. the commandline ones more then anything else
11:34:31 sean-k-mooney the content looks good to me
11:42:28 openstackgerrit ya.wang proposed openstack/nova master: Fix typor of cpu model when check CPU compatibility https://review.opendev.org/682267
12:26:41 bauzas FWIW, I'm a bit on and off today, working back on the placement audit command
12:43:44 efried o/ nova!
12:43:50 efried ready for a fun-filled day of rechecks?!
12:45:08 sean-k-mooney at least we are down to 2 series
12:46:40 sean-k-mooney there is 1 patch need for vpmem, + https://review.opendev.org/#/q/topic:bp/cpu-resources+(status:open+OR+status:merged) + 2 pathes for forbiden aggreates i think
12:46:45 efried I'm starting to think there may actually be something wrong.
12:46:53 efried forbidden aggs is in.
12:47:01 sean-k-mooney oh ok
12:47:07 sean-k-mooney with the pmem stuff
12:47:07 efried And i think there's one for numalm, but not an important one
12:47:11 efried pmem and cpu-resources
12:47:14 efried are the big ones
12:47:32 sean-k-mooney i was ingoring the funcitonal tests for numalm
12:47:37 efried right
12:47:52 sean-k-mooney the actully featre has lannded just tests are leaft
12:48:17 efried 13 rechecks on the top cpu-resources patch
12:48:49 efried cascading effect of -2s in the gate from a prior patch failing.
12:48:51 efried mostly
12:49:05 sean-k-mooney ya that was what i was about to say
12:49:25 efried I think we have a race in select_destinations though
12:49:38 efried been seeing quite a few like this https://storage.gra1.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_dcaab5e32b234d56b626f72581e3644c/zuul_opendev_logs_778/674895/42/check/openstack-tox-py36/7787cd5/testr_results.html.gz
12:51:56 sean-k-mooney maybe or that test is just not deterministic
12:52:15 efried yeah, either way
12:52:19 efried it's not just that one test
12:52:32 efried I saw several similar failures with that same select_destinations unequal
12:52:48 efried I didn't dig all the way into them (lack of appropriate tooling on my phone)
12:52:51 sean-k-mooney all in the fallback tests
12:52:53 efried but thinking maybe I should at this point.
12:53:06 efried no, I remember seeing one in a pre-existing test (I think)
12:53:15 efried i.e. regression
12:53:39 sean-k-mooney we might not be mocking some global state in the tests?
12:54:06 sean-k-mooney that said the fallback code is very new so there might be something there
12:56:35 stephenfin efried: I'm thinking we should stop rechecking the two few patches for now
12:56:40 stephenfin *top
12:56:45 efried whyzat?
12:56:58 efried oo, I have a local repro
12:57:04 efried running the whole test class
12:57:10 efried nova.tests.unit.scheduler.test_scheduler.SchedulerManagerTestCase
12:57:15 efried sean-k-mooney: ^
12:57:39 sean-k-mooney ok then it is likely either a shared state issue or a bug in the code
12:57:42 stephenfin On account of having to recheck again if anything lower gets in. Better just get those lower ones in
12:57:55 sean-k-mooney but if that repoduces it locally that makes it eaiser to figure out
12:58:11 stephenfin Hmm, I've seen that as well, actually
12:58:28 stephenfin Okay, that sounds like a bug. That's testing the retry logic
12:59:05 efried stephenfin: if it's not affecting queue times -- which it probably isn't at this point -- then it's better to have the top ones kicked out by merge-failed -2s than to have to wait for them to pass the check pipeline again once the lower ones are in, imho
12:59:34 stephenfin that's a fair point
12:59:35 sean-k-mooney efried: im just about to grab lunch but ill dig into it when i get back if ye have not figured it out by then
12:59:35 efried stephenfin, sean-k-mooney: I definitely remember seeing the failure on a patch lower in the series at some point.
12:59:48 efried I don't remember which one now
12:59:53 efried where was that fallback introduced, again?
13:00:24 stephenfin efried: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/671801/
13:00:50 sean-k-mooney ya thats the patch that updated those tests too
13:00:59 stephenfin intermittently failing tests are the _best_
13:01:09 sean-k-mooney brb
13:05:46 shilpasd Eric: finally after so many rechecks isoalte agg patches are merged, tnx for your extended support
13:06:13 shilpasd Gibi: tnx for followup patch, review on isolate agg patches
13:06:43 efried shilpasd: Your work on this feature is really appreciated. Please pass our compliments on to your colleagues as well.
13:08:25 shilpasd dansmith: stephenfin: takashin: thanks for review
13:08:42 shilpasd efried: sure thanks
13:13:16 efried stephenfin: First thing that jumps out is test_select_destination_with_pcpu_fallback_disabled, which is a test, is calling test_select_destination_with_4_3_client, which is also a test. I.e. both are going to run "simultaneously", one being a subset of the other.
13:13:27 efried ...which should be fine, as long as neither is doing anything global
13:14:43 stephenfin they don't _look_ like they're doing anything global
13:18:01 kashyap print domain_caps[arch][machine_type]._os.loader.enums
13:18:06 kashyap Oops
13:18:38 kashyap (Disregard that, please)
13:21:28 kashyap efried: Mired in parsing some XML bits and testing :D
13:21:38 efried suuuure
13:21:40 kashyap Not my day today...
13:23:02 efried stephenfin: I agree. I'm looking through the other tests in that class; the problem could just as easily be caused by one of *them* doing something global.
13:44:33 mriedem gibi: a few comments in this bug fix of yours https://review.opendev.org/#/c/666857/
13:44:37 stephenfin efried: something is messing with flags
13:44:59 efried stephenfin: Because CONF is global mebbe?
13:45:08 stephenfin quite possibly, yeah
13:45:45 stephenfin 'CONF.workarounds.disable_fallback_pcpu_query' is intermittently 'False' despite me setting it to 'True' in the test
13:48:32 efried stephenfin: I can reproduce reliably locally when I skip test discovery, and reliably *not* reproduce when I let discovery happen (which runs the tests slower). So definitely racy.
13:54:30 efried stephenfin: Yeah, self.flags is just CONF.set_override
13:54:58 stephenfin and CONF is global
13:55:26 efried stephenfin: use oslo_config.fixture.Config
13:55:30 stephenfin This is hardly the first time we've got positive and negative tests for something config opt-driven though, is it?
13:56:08 sean-k-mooney well
13:56:24 sean-k-mooney you wont have two tests running at the same time in the same process
13:56:37 sean-k-mooney so its fine to set things with set flags
13:56:49 sean-k-mooney as long as you alreay set the correct state up in the test
13:56:51 efried sean-k-mooney: same process yes, same thread no, right?
13:56:58 sean-k-mooney no
13:57:09 artom Wait, has oslo_config.fixture.Config finally fixed the global CONF problem? I guess the fixture is not per-test, so no.
13:57:11 sean-k-mooney tox runes tests in multiple processes not threads
13:57:25 stephenfin well, stestr
13:57:57 efried artom: ...no, it looks like it still by default uses global CONF. So much for that idea.
13:58:10 sean-k-mooney yes point is each worker is tis own process that runs its own python interpreter
