20:11:38 mriedem so seems that ps2mouse is doing the deed
20:11:50 melwitt yeah I don't either
20:11:55 mriedem ozzzo: you set pointer_model=ps2mouse on your computes?
20:12:07 ozzzo only on the HV
20:12:20 mriedem HV = nova-compute nodes?
20:12:24 ozzzo yes
20:12:34 mriedem restarted the service and booted a new vm on that node?
20:12:36 ozzzo just the one I'm testing
20:12:48 ozzzo no, I stopped and started the VM, but that rewrites the XML
20:12:57 ozzzo do I need to delete it and build a new one?
20:12:58 mriedem you have to restart the compute service to refresh the config
20:13:09 mriedem then you could reboot the vm
20:13:10 melwitt ozzzo: that won't refresh the nova config though
20:13:29 ozzzo I stop/started nova-compute on the compute node
20:13:30 melwitt that reminds me, did SIGHUP ever get fixed?
20:13:34 ozzzo then stop/started the VM
20:13:38 melwitt oh ok
20:13:45 mriedem paste your guest xml i guess
20:13:55 mriedem in a paste/gist
20:14:16 melwitt well, I'm wondering if this is what the config help is describing "'Uses default behavior provided by drivers (mouse on PS2 for libvirt x86)"
20:14:32 mriedem but we're running libvirt x86 in the gate
20:14:40 melwitt ... true
20:14:48 melwitt hm what the heck
20:15:08 mriedem unless y'all moved over to ARM in the last few months
20:15:27 ozzzo http://paste.openstack.org/show/790313/
20:16:45 mriedem huh yeah - which version of libvirt?
20:22:26 melwitt looks like usb tablet is the only input device we're capable of adding https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/config.py#L1802
20:23:33 melwitt I mean, I guess we already knew that but there's where all the configs are
20:25:49 melwitt here's danpb stating "We don't specify anything actually. QEMU always gives you a ps2 keyboard + mouse no matter what & AFAIK, there's no way to disable that. Any other mouse should override the PS2 mouse, provided the guest OS actually initializes the non-ps2 mouse." https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953064#c4
20:25:50 openstack bugzilla.redhat.com bug 953064 in libvirt "allow disabling ps2 mouse, it overrides tablet on macosx guests" [Medium,Closed: deferred] - Assigned to libvirt-maint
20:27:33 mriedem ok so ozzzo's bug is invalid / won't fix, just need to set pointer_model=ps2mouse
20:27:45 mriedem and remove that None option as a choice since it's invalid - i guess that's the bug
20:28:31 melwitt yeah, it's weird. None is supposed to mean "use the libvirt defaults" which it is doing
20:29:24 melwitt and setting ps2mouse does the same thing, uses the defaults. almost seems like the choices should be 'usbtablet' and 'default' instead or something
20:30:11 melwitt I mean, if None worked, it would be doing what it says, using the defaults
20:30:13 ozzzo so it's not possible to not load the PS2 driver, and that has nothing to do with openstack; it is a qemu limitation?
20:30:55 melwitt looks like it yeah, according to that libvirt bz
20:34:00 ozzzo ok I'll talk to the guys in #centos again I guess; they are telling me to not load the USB and PS2 drivers because it appears that they choke on large RAM
20:35:15 melwitt yeah ... we need to chat with a libvirt/qemu person I think too
20:35:25 ozzzo thanks for your help and advice!
20:36:25 melwitt https://libvirt.org/contact.html#irc
20:36:55 melwitt they have a mailing list too
20:37:09 ozzzo ok I'll try them, ty

21:05:07 melwitt ozzzo: this might be totally useless but ... I googled around out of curiosity and found this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/8qo468/stuttering_caused_by_evdev_with_ps2_input_devices/ where they changed their keyboard and mouse bus to 'virtio' and installed the necessary drivers. they're calling this "passing through the mouse and keyboard". and I saw that as of libvirt 1.3.0, 'virtio' is an option for input device
21:05:07 melwitt bus https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsInput
21:09:24 melwitt I would probably try something like that in a test/lab environment to see if it helps (if you don't find any other info when you inquire) by making manual updates to the xml. but I really don't know what I'm talking about so you should probably ignore me. this problem is interesting

23:06:49 ozzzo melwitt: that might help, I'll take a look
23:20:03 ozzzo reading further into that thread; they are repeating what was said here: "It doesn't seem possible to disable them QEMU side."
23:20:18 melwitt yeah
23:21:33 melwitt I found a few other threads in various places too while googling, saying the same
23:25:42 melwitt so I got curious how people get around the perf issues that seem to crop up
23:33:50 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova stable/train: libvirt: avoid cpu check at s390x arch https://review.opendev.org/701525

23:55:08 openstackgerrit Eric Xie proposed openstack/nova master: Catch exception when use invalid architecture of image https://review.opendev.org/711363
23:55:35 brinzhang gmann: why the os-volume-attachments policy can unauthorized the self.project_foo_context context? that you can review https://review.opendev.org/#/c/710190/3/nova/tests/unit/policies/test_volumes.py@131
23:56:59 gmann brinzhang: just replied on review for instance action policy
23:57:18 gmann i will check volume policy tomorrow.
23:57:36 brinzhang gmann: thanks, I will look
23:58:27 gmann because of deprecation rules, we do not see the behavior of new defaults when we stop supporting the old one.
23:59:03 gmann also we cannot remove the old rules otherwise it break the deployment.
23:59:51 brinzhang gmann: sure
