09:55:41 bauzas gibi: I don't want to change this
09:55:58 bauzas gibi: I'm just saying there is a piece of metadata information that neutron has to know
09:56:04 bauzas which is carried by Nova
09:56:21 bauzas but which could be provided by Cyborg before the nova port creation call
09:56:26 gibi sure. I'm not suggesting to change this. I just noted down the logical problem about letting cyborg handle neutron
09:56:44 gibi bauzas: nova does not create the neutron port for sriov
09:56:58 gibi those ports need to be pre-created and provided in the boot request to nova
09:57:05 gibi afaik
09:57:10 bauzas oh you're right
09:57:15 bauzas we don't late bind
09:57:22 bauzas actually, we bind
09:57:26 bauzas but we don't create
10:05:26 Yumeng bauzas: emm IMHO, cyborg doesn't create the port in neutron during the boot. When Cyborg discovers SRIOV device and stores the device's info, user need to use Cyborg create a port/bandwith request, i.e. device_profile
10:05:56 bauzas yeah I was confused, my apologies
10:06:03 bauzas so, there is a pre-creation step
10:06:14 bauzas and then nova gets the port at boot time
10:06:25 Yumeng yes
10:10:03 bauzas OK, I think I still need to go thru the etherpad to understand the reasoning but that's a good first step
10:10:49 Yumeng gibi,bauzas: Thanks for your time! I am going off line now. my time is UTC+8. You can either ping me in IRC at #openstack-cyborg channel if you have more question. or just leave comments at ehterpad(topic 13):https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cyborg-victoria-goals https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cyborg-victoria-goals
10:11:04 Yumeng bauzas: thanks for taking time reading it!
10:11:10 gibi Yumeng: thanks I tried to add some not the nova etherpad.
10:11:17 bauzas gibi: fwiw, playing with stestr run --until-failure and then stestr --last helps me reproduce the failure everytime
10:11:52 Yumeng gibi: ok, thanks. I will go back to nova ehterpad later.
10:12:12 gibi bauzas: meantime I was able to reproduce the problem only runnig the single test case test_multiple_instance_create$ so it is not test case interference
10:12:35 gibi (it took 356 runs though)
10:12:51 gibi Yumeng: OK. have a nice evening
10:12:54 bauzas you mean, the single test method() without nova.tests.functional.libvirt.test_vgpu.VGPUTests.test_multiple_instance_create_filling_up_capacity ?
10:13:02 bauzas Yumeng: ack, will do
10:13:23 gibi bauzas: yes a single test method nova.tests.functional.libvirt.test_vgpu.VGPUTests.test_multiple_instance_create [7.793940s] ... FAILED
10:13:31 bauzas gibi: if so, the race is probably because we need to hold for a few things
10:14:05 gibi bauzas: yeah it is most likele a missing wait_for_<something> at some point in the test
10:14:07 bauzas gibi: lemme see if adding a pause of 1 sec will just solve the problem
10:14:18 gibi ack
10:14:24 bauzas gibi: because what's failing is that we lookup the mdevs
10:14:34 bauzas gibi: we should potentially wait a bit
10:15:02 bauzas this being said, we wait for the ACTIVE status
10:15:22 bauzas oh wait
10:15:30 bauzas this is a multiple instance creation
10:15:43 bauzas so we only check the first instance creation
10:16:05 gibi that could explain it
10:16:19 bauzas lemme try
10:16:38 bauzas --until-failure allows me to run the test easily
10:18:07 bauzas ahah, interesting
10:18:11 bauzas we don't hold
10:26:21 bauzas gibi: okay, changed my test to wait for all servers, running it
10:26:28 gibi cool
10:26:28 bauzas gibi: will leave it run for one hour or so
10:26:44 gibi if you push the patch up I can do the same while I have lunch
10:26:54 bauzas and if I no longer see any issues after, say, 200 runs, then we will know it's fixed
10:27:01 bauzas k
10:27:28 bauzas gibi: just writing a bug and uploading then
10:28:09 gibi ack
10:29:36 bauzas ah shit, they started it :p

10:30:44 openstack Launchpad bug 1877281 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "vGPU multiple instance creation test is racey" [High,Confirmed] - Assigned to Sylvain Bauza (sylvain-bauza)
10:31:27 bauzas gibi: worth thinking about RC3 for this one ? :(
10:31:50 bauzas or, maybe we just release and then backport later
10:31:59 bauzas the issue isn't that bad
10:32:12 jazeltq hello gibi
10:32:41 jazeltq I have one question about nova-scheduler
10:35:56 openstackgerrit Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Wait for all servers to be active when testing vGPUs https://review.opendev.org/726087
10:36:19 bauzas gibi: ^
10:37:01 bauzas gibi: FYI (functional) [sbauza@sbauza nova]$ stestr --test-path=./nova/tests/functional run --until-failure nova.tests.functional.libvirt.test_vgpu.VGPUTests.test_multiple_instance_create
10:42:21 stephenfin melwitt: When you're about, can you take a look at https://review.opendev.org/#/c/677444/ please?
10:48:39 gibi bauzas: I don't think we need an RC for a racy func test. It is OK to merge it after GA
12:00:36 bauzas gibi: okay, after 4560 seconds, no errors were found
12:00:57 gibi bauzas: no error seen in 412 runs
12:01:02 gibi so I agree you fixed it!
12:01:28 gibi nice work
12:27:54 efried stephenfin: go ahead and update that commit message. I'm here to re+1, for all the good it'll do ya.

12:40:01 stephenfin if you don't want to, I can live with it as-is
12:43:59 bauzas stephenfin: no worries, I can write a new rev
12:44:06 bauzas there is no urgency to fix this race
12:44:18 bauzas we only get it for around 0.5%
