12:38:24 frickler hello nova, the new alembic==1.4.0 is causing this failure, please have a look https://c264ca14759376f2bea5-6cd49316b9babb1f90743cae9cd67f9e.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.com/705380/10/check/cross-nova-py36/8bcec81/testr_results.html , I'll pin to the previous version for now, see https://review.opendev.org/705380
13:14:23 openstackgerrit Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: api: Add support for extra spec validation https://review.opendev.org/704643
13:23:18 efried bauzas, gibi: o/
13:23:18 efried What's the question?
13:25:19 gibi efried: my remaning open question is https://review.opendev.org/#/c/552924/16/specs/ussuri/approved/numa-topology-with-rps.rst@223 about upgrade checks
13:25:49 gibi but I have to jump on a call for the next 1 and a half hour so talk to you later
13:36:09 bauzas efried: gibi: will ping you later, just updating the spec now
13:47:27 alex_xu bauzas: I leave one also https://review.opendev.org/#/c/552924/16/specs/ussuri/approved/numa-topology-with-rps.rst@421
13:50:35 bauzas ack
13:52:31 bauzas alex_xu: good point, I was thinking of the upgrade issue when rolling the compute upgrades
13:53:23 alex_xu good news, we can just copy the way of standard-cpu-resource-tracking way
13:53:55 alex_xu probably need another workaround config option for disable the fallback placement query
13:53:57 bauzas I'll sat this
13:54:06 bauzas say*
14:39:16 efried bauzas, gibi: responded.
14:39:33 bauzas dammit, need to Ctrl-R
14:39:46 bauzas I'm litterally writing live
14:40:00 efried bauzas: shouldn't be anything earth-shattering in my response.
14:40:01 bauzas eek, sean-k-mooney did too
14:42:20 bauzas efried: for the placement-ish syntax, I'm all for docs
14:42:26 bauzas and not code
14:42:27 bauzas FWIW
14:42:36 bauzas like, you can do it but you can mess it
14:42:39 bauzas your dog
14:43:10 bauzas anyway, continuing to write
14:43:49 efried IMO the only reason we shouldn't block placement-ish syntax is because we might miss something in our translation utility and have to provide a workaround until we fix it.
14:44:11 efried even there be tygers.
14:45:20 LiangFang gibi: hi gibi, regarding https://review.opendev.org/#/c/689070/
14:47:01 LiangFang gibi: how do you think to set trait for the host machine, and specify trait in flavor extra spec?
14:47:59 LiangFang gibi: so the guest can be scheduled to the host with cache capability
15:22:12 openstackgerrit Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Proposes NUMA topology with RPs https://review.opendev.org/552924
15:22:38 bauzas efried: gibi: sean-k-mooney: alex_xu: thanks for the comments, here is another baking of NUMA topology spec https://review.opendev.org/552924
15:23:18 gibi LiangFang: if we only care about having a cache configured on the host then it can be a capability represented by a trait. If we also needs to think about the available size of the caches then it is a resource
15:24:15 gibi bauzas, efried: ack, will check back soon
15:39:49 stephenfin dansmith: Any particular reason we don't use entrypoints for custom scheduler filters? Is it something we could/should do?
15:40:05 dansmith don't we already?
15:40:09 dansmith bauzas:
15:40:27 stephenfin Custom scheduler drivers, yes. Not filters for the filter_scheduler though
15:40:44 dansmith I was sure we did
15:40:53 stephenfin You've to configure them via a python path in '[filter_scheduler] enabled_filters'
15:40:55 stephenfin fwict
16:02:28 spatel sean-k-mooney: morning
16:02:42 spatel let me know if you around i want to share my load-test result.
16:06:31 gibi bauzas: thanks for the update on the NUMA spec it looks good to me now
16:24:39 sean-k-mooney bauzas: im skiming through it now but ya im more or less happy with it. ill proably +1 it when i finish this pass
16:26:55 bauzas dansmith: sorry was AFK
16:27:35 bauzas stephenfin: yeah you have to set a specific option
16:27:38 dansmith bauzas: np. I thought our scheduler filter interface was already using entry points, but stephenfin says it's not.. I'm sure he's right I was just poking you in case you were also surprised
16:28:10 bauzas https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#filter_scheduler.available_filters
16:28:15 bauzas stephenfin: ^
16:28:25 stephenfin right, matches up with what I suspected so
16:28:44 stephenfin bauzas: any reason not to deprecate that an ask people to use entrypoints instead?
16:28:53 stephenfin given I'll be asking them to do that for extra spec validators
16:29:12 bauzas well, I don't have any opinion
16:29:25 bauzas we had a lot of entrypoints
16:29:37 bauzas so for sure we could just use another one
16:30:19 sean-k-mooney spatel: did you see an improvement?
16:32:06 bauzas stephenfin: dansmith: that's how Nova knows about filters https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/loadables.py#L78
16:33:56 bauzas for example you can ask to have a new custom filter by doing something like scheduler_available_filters = myownproject.scheduler.filters.climate_filter.ClimateFilter
16:35:40 efried bauzas, gibi, sean-k-mooney: I don't understand the "fallback" thing.
16:36:14 efried https://review.opendev.org/#/c/552924/17/specs/ussuri/approved/numa-topology-with-rps.rst@516
16:36:40 sean-k-mooney efried: its mimicing PCPUS
16:37:57 sean-k-mooney basically when procesing a vm request with a numa toplogy if and only if the placement allocation candiates responce is empty we will fall back to the non numa aware query and let the numa toplogy filter elimidate the host if it cant fit
16:38:14 bauzas efried: try: <call placement asking for NUMA-aware instances> except NoValidHosts: <call Placement like in Train>
16:38:43 sean-k-mooney yes but without using excption for control flow :P
16:38:52 efried Sorry, let me clarify
16:39:03 bauzas efried: sean-k-mooney: I could have provided a link to the implementation instead of the spec :)
16:39:04 efried I understand the what/how. I don't understand the why.
16:39:14 bauzas efried: because,
16:39:24 bauzas say a rolling upgrade
16:39:27 sean-k-mooney efried: so we dont need to have a global flag in the schduler to turn on the translation
16:40:04 bauzas or just a Ussuri cloud with only one node being transformed
16:40:10 bauzas then we could have some problems
16:40:12 sean-k-mooney the same reason we did it for PCPUs to make upgrdade simpler
16:40:41 bauzas efried: have you seen the Upgrade Impact section already ?
16:40:47 sean-k-mooney bauzas: ya the single node case is basicaly during a rolling upgrade
16:40:50 bauzas I tried to explain the *why* there
16:41:30 efried Because what's going to happen here is:
16:41:30 efried I'll upgrade to Ussuri, where my workaround option is set to not reshape;
16:41:30 efried and all my flavors will continue to work, only a teeny bit slower because I'll get empty allocation candidates on the first query 100% of the time.
16:41:30 efried And I won't notice, so I'll never flip the workaround off.
16:42:33 efried so,
16:42:33 efried Am I misunderstanding what release/combination will have this fallback mechanism in play?
16:43:18 gibi efried: I understand the need to push the operators to switch. But pushing them to do the switch right at the upgrade feels too much to me. It would like an ultimate. "When you upgrade to Ussuri you will loose all the NUMA aware capacity of your cloud, but you can get them back iff you do the reshape one every NUMA aware compute, but you should not do that all at once as that will overload placement."
16:43:47 gibi s/one/on/
16:44:06 dansmith gibi: you think that's okay?
16:44:08 efried Well, I don't buy that it would overload placement. The reshape will be one query per compute host.
16:44:26 sean-k-mooney efried: i would hope we remove it when we remove the config option
16:44:32 gibi dansmith: I think it is not OK to loose all the NUMA aware capacity at upgrade
16:45:04 dansmith gibi: okay you were describing the problem, not the goal, is that right?
16:45:04 sean-k-mooney we could remove it when we change the default but i would hope it will not last more then 2 releases
16:45:37 efried Then we kind of have to position this as a "tech preview" or experimental change.
16:45:38 gibi dansmith: my goal is not to loose the capacity at upgrade. I dont like the the quoted part
16:45:44 efried It just seems pretty pointless to me.
16:45:48 dansmith gibi: ++
16:46:03 efried because we're going to do a bunch of work to enable something that nobody is going to use.
