10:22:59 bauzas kashyap: yup and the travel ban is still effective, but that's a fresh change at least for dometic flights
10:24:06 kashyap bauzas: Domestic flights in the US, you mean?
10:24:13 bauzas yup
10:24:33 bauzas this gives us some direction
10:24:48 pjakuszew kashyap: this is something I wanted to add into nova_manage in a more accessible form, actually
10:25:05 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: func: Increase rpc_response_timeout in TestMultiCellMigrate tests https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803714
10:25:22 bauzas conferences could run for a mixed virtual+physical system until restrictions slowly improve
10:25:43 kashyap Mixed confs suck like hell :-( It frustrates both in-person and the remotees
10:26:10 kashyap "Can you hear me? Oh, I was talking to myself. Anybody there? Oh, you all went for a coffee break? Never mind"
10:34:02 pjakuszew kashyap: are these server properties visible in the libvirt xml in your case? looks like adding that property both under server create --property and manually on another one doesn't seem to propagate
10:34:26 kashyap pjakuszew: They are not; see stephenfin's comment earlier
10:34:51 pjakuszew oh I overlooked that
10:35:10 kashyap pjakuszew: Only way for existing instances are what lyarwood mentioned earlier (snapshot the image; adjust the property; and then boot an instance off the updated snapshot image)
10:43:57 opendevreview Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova stable/train: Add functional test for bug 1937375 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803727
10:43:58 opendevreview Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova stable/train: compute: Avoid duplicate BDMs during reserve_block_device_name https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803728
10:50:08 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: fup: Move _wait_for_volume_attach into InstanceHelperMixin https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/802623
11:50:55 lyarwood stephenfin / gibi ; https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/802801/ could I get a +W on this now it's passing again with the above func test landed
12:58:45 opendevreview Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: [nova-manage]support extended resource request https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/802060
13:15:32 bauzas stephenfin: hola, before I leave, I'd appreciate if you could just look at the last rev for https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp%252Fgeneric-mdevs%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged) we need a second pair of eyes
13:15:44 bauzas since you already looked at it
13:27:21 sean-k-mooney bauzas: im off today but i will sync with the rest of the team and see if i can push the mdev work forward while your on pto
13:27:38 kashyap sean-k-mooney: Don't taint your free day with work...
13:28:17 sean-k-mooney :) that is why im not going to review today
13:28:38 sean-k-mooney anyway i have almost finished what i need to do on my laptop soo ill be gone soonish
13:29:29 bauzas kashyap: by the way, I apologize for you, my co-worker for the mdev series ;)
13:29:43 bauzas kashyap: we hadn't time to discuss about this blueprint :p
13:30:06 bauzas sean-k-mooney: as you want, anyway I'll be back on Tuesday, 2 days before FF
13:30:09 kashyap bauzas: I was supposed to pair on it, right? Yeah, downstream-- stuff completely engulfed me :-(
13:30:15 bauzas ;)
13:30:21 bauzas kashyap: heh no worries
13:31:25 stephenfin bauzas: will do
13:31:31 bauzas ta
13:33:30 kashyap bauzas: I was reading the mdev class code yesterday and then had to reboot the laptop and my memory flushed it. I know, I sound lame.
13:36:34 kashyap bauzas: Did you get around to testing it on real hardware? Or "don't ask?"
13:37:00 bauzas kashyap: I did
13:37:19 bauzas I even bubbled the hostname in some pastebin, whoops
13:37:26 bauzas :)
13:37:56 bauzas I was smart enough to keep the hardware that was given for me for testing the Ampere GPU :p
13:38:13 bauzas so, technically, I tested this series against MIG-backed vGPUs ;)
13:38:14 kashyap I see; yeah, I know the hardware acquis on this PITA
13:38:46 kashyap s/on this/here is a/
13:39:04 bauzas hopefully I should still have this server when I'm back :p
13:39:53 kashyap bauzas: The only thing I know about MIG is that it can divide the GPU into several "mini GPUs".
13:40:36 kashyap s/mini/flexible/
13:52:36 gibi I associate to a fighter jet when I see MIG. Can we virtualize fighter jets these days? :)
13:55:08 kashyap gibi: Heh, I too had to overwrite my memory to refer to a GPU instead of a fighter-jet
13:58:40 bauzas gibi: lolelly
13:59:39 gibi we had MIGs in the past, nowadays we have Grippens
14:00:23 opendevreview Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: Block servers with vGPU and device profile in heal_allocations https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803603

14:08:21 opendevreview Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: api-ref: Update docs for microversion 2.89 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803758
14:11:06 bauzas gibi: maybe you got my last +2 before I leave
14:11:38 gibi bauzas: thanks
14:27:58 opendevreview Felix Huettner proposed openstack/nova stable/stein: Add functional test for bug 1937375 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803762

14:34:34 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: Add regression test for bug 1938326 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/802801
14:38:02 stephenfin bauzas: done. Left comments on the last three patches in the series
14:38:23 bauzas stephenfin: OK, I have 20 mins to look at them ;)
15:11:22 gibi stephenfin: I have a question about the documentation of the ignoring of use_db_reconnect in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/799524/3//COMMIT_MSG#24
15:12:06 stephenfin gibi: I can look into removing it from nova's config opts, but I have deprecated the option in oslo.db so we will be dropping it soon enough
15:12:45 stephenfin gibi: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.db/+/798133
15:13:31 stephenfin oh, wait, wrong config option
15:13:34 stephenfin :)
15:13:51 gibi you almost tricked me :)
15:14:09 stephenfin gibi: how about a simple check on nova-compute startup to warn if the option is set to a non-default value?
15:14:23 stephenfin i.e. "this option don't do nothing, foooool"
15:14:50 stephenfin I don't think the config generator supports excluding individual opts
15:15:37 gibi stephenfin: you mean other services than nova-compute as nova-compute cannot use direct db access
15:15:50 stephenfin sorry, yes
15:16:05 gibi an added warning works for me
15:16:11 stephenfin actually
15:16:21 stephenfin I have a patch to register options ourselves somewhere
15:16:31 stephenfin wonder can I simply del that option...
15:16:55 stephenfin actually, that won't help the docs generation problem
15:17:02 stephenfin warning it is
15:17:29 gibi ack
15:22:12 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Provide the mdev class for every PCI device https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/802918
15:22:12 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Provide and use other RCs for mdevs if needed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803233
15:22:13 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Expose the mdev class https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/801743
15:22:13 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Cleanup GPU vs. mdev wording https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803379
15:22:17 bauzas gibi: stephenfin: uploaded latest rev of mdev series due to stephenfin's nits ^
15:22:36 bauzas stephenfin: to make it clear, we accept FOO as a mdev_class option value
15:22:45 bauzas then, we persist FOO in the object set
15:22:52 stephenfin bauzas: okay, what is FOO used for in that case?
15:23:09 stephenfin does it correspond to something on the device or in libvirt?
15:23:14 bauzas but when looking at the mdev_classes, we use the normalize_rc command to provide a CUSTOM_FOO RC name
15:23:17 stephenfin or is it purely used as an identifier?
15:23:36 bauzas that's why we have the helper and why we don't directly return the list of classes
