#openstack-nova - 2021-08-27
13:36:38 sean-k-mooney there are some https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp%252Funified-limits-nova%22+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged)
13:36:57 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tempest/+/790186 and https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tempest/+/804311
13:37:05 dansmith I see gibi has a bunch of +2s over the patch I'm -1 on, but I think some of those have code that reaches into oslo.limit
13:38:01 dansmith ah okay cool, glad to see those tempest patches
13:38:18 dansmith missed them being WIP I guess
13:38:32 gibi dansmith: as far as I understand even if we land unified limits it will be a sort of experimental optional feature
13:38:58 gibi there was no API impact so I considered it safe to experiment
13:39:09 dansmith mmmkay :)
13:39:19 gibi :)
13:40:40 sean-k-mooney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wJXBUfcIOE
13:43:39 dansmith gibi: did you see my comment on this patch you have +Wd? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/712139
13:43:46 dansmith I think those exceptions are wrong, no?
13:45:44 stephenfin gibi: I'm +2 on basically the whole QoS series now, bar the things you've already talked about and the last two patches (small issues there)
13:46:13 gibi dansmith: could be a bit more chatty yes, but ValueError tend to be used to point out which formal parameter got an unexpected value in the functin call
13:47:01 gibi stephenfin: thanks, much appreciated
13:47:26 dansmith gibi: sure, but is that caught and logged appropriately?
13:48:13 dansmith gibi: usually that sort of thing ends up as not a trace in a log line where you just see "ValueError: entity_type" and never know what was going on when it happen
13:48:17 dansmith but if so, cool
13:48:53 gibi dansmith: thanks for pointing that out. I dropped my vote. I have to go back and see how that error is propagated
13:49:26 dansmith gibi: I see there's a test for the specific string, so I guess it's intentional, but I still would like to know that it's turned into something useful :)
13:50:35 gibi dansmith: I agree with your concerns
13:53:26 dansmith btw, is the plan really to just outright revert the consumer types stuff because of that bug?
13:53:30 gibi it felt for multiple cycles that this work is just sitting there waiting, I'm happy that now it got enough attention that we can make progress with it
13:54:22 dansmith gibi: definitely been sidelined and I'm very happy to see it moving. having just implemented this for glance I've also got context on it, which is helpful since nova's situation is obviously more complex
13:54:37 sean-k-mooney dansmith: i think we are going with the force flag instead of a full revert
13:54:59 sean-k-mooney dansmith: although melwitt has also proposed patches for the revert if we decied that is what we want to do
13:55:35 dansmith orly
13:55:44 sean-k-mooney sorry melwitt revert patches are for the delete of the allocation using put
13:56:10 sean-k-mooney is ther a reason to revert the consumer types if the force flag patch merges
13:56:27 dansmith is the force flag safe?
13:56:31 sean-k-mooney gibi: that already making its way through the gate correct
13:56:51 dansmith that conflict is specifically to avoid deleting or changing data you don't realize has changed right?
13:57:09 sean-k-mooney dansmith: it is but im not sure the orginial premis of this was valid
13:57:11 gibi sean-k-mooney: I had to respin due to couple of missed tests
13:57:18 gibi sean-k-mooney: so it is not on the gate but no passed check queue
13:57:43 dansmith sean-k-mooney: premise of what, the force flag or the premise of the conflict?
13:57:59 sean-k-mooney the conflict on allocation delete
13:58:08 sean-k-mooney or rahter the precident in hte non soft delete case
13:59:08 sean-k-mooney if we got a delete form the user i think that shoudl have taken precendce over allocation changes in general
13:59:34 sean-k-mooney gibi raised a vaild concern with soft delete which the force flag patch adresses
13:59:56 sean-k-mooney e.g. restore should take precidence over soft delete
14:02:28 dansmith the bug discusses a retry, which is what I expect to do when I get a 409 from placement
14:02:35 dansmith but the proposed solution is to force?
14:03:41 sean-k-mooney perhaps its better for gibi to surmiarse or look at his patch so i dont butcher the answer :)
14:03:43 gibi retry here means read the new allocatin with the new generation and null it out in the response
14:04:03 gibi so for me that logically the same as ignore the current allocaiton and force the delete
14:04:07 dansmith null it out in the request?
14:04:24 gibi dansmith: yepp the current code deletes an allocation with an empty PUT
14:04:36 gibi "empty" as there is the generation
14:05:09 dansmith okay, the current proposed patch does a delete with no generation right off the bat if force=true, never tries "nicely" once AFAICT
14:06:10 gibi dansmith: correct
14:06:17 sean-k-mooney so i think doing a http delete is the corrct thing if your ar enot using soft delete and the user request the instnace to be deleted
14:06:31 dansmith okay, confused about the "retry" terminology then :)
14:06:32 sean-k-mooney which is one of the case we will pass force=true
14:07:33 gibi dansmith: we can only do a meaningful retry if our original intention depends on the current state of the resource we are updated
14:07:50 gibi in many delete case we don't care about the current state we just want to delete
14:08:35 dansmith gibi: yeah, technically now we're just nulling out the allocations and PUTing the thing back as-is, and generation + retry would be the right thing to do in that case,
14:08:48 dansmith but I understand, if we're deleting the thing then maybe delete is the right answer
14:11:39 dansmith the thing I was saying above was that it seemed like you (all) were saying try the put, and if the put fails, delete to override
14:11:44 dansmith but I see that's not what the patch does
14:12:15 sean-k-mooney right no the patch adds a force flag and we are selectivly setting it depening on which behavior we want
14:12:38 sean-k-mooney force=true to jsut delete regardless of state and force=false if we want an operturnity to reconider
14:12:50 gibi dansmith: if we know we force on failure then what the point to try first nicely?
14:13:21 dansmith gibi: I'm not arguing that we should, I was just trying to understand the proposed new behavior
14:13:29 gibi ack
14:14:46 dansmith I guess I'm wondering why we did the PUT with empty allocations in the first place instead of delete
14:15:02 sean-k-mooney we used to do delete
14:15:09 sean-k-mooney we started doing put when we added generations
14:15:16 dansmith well, right :)
14:15:39 sean-k-mooney but that is why we also have the straight revert patches as an option to consider
14:15:55 sean-k-mooney melwitt: myslef and possibel other were wondering the same thing
14:16:32 sean-k-mooney the force flag patch is kind of a middle ground
14:16:44 dansmith it also seems super odd to have force=True as the default
14:17:03 dansmith I'm guessing that's just for expediency, but..
14:17:23 sean-k-mooney i think in most case we really do just want to delete not put
14:17:40 sean-k-mooney althogh callign it force is perhaps questioable in that case
14:17:43 dansmith right
14:18:04 dansmith inverting the logic to "extra_checks=False" or something if you opt into it might be good,
14:18:07 dansmith but again,
14:18:21 dansmith we're opting out of the force for things like move and soft delete,
14:18:28 dansmith which I kinda expect to exist more places than actual instance delete
14:18:56 dansmith anyway, I didn't mean to come in here and throw a wrench in things, I just wanted to understand what as going on
14:19:18 dansmith I saw 409s in failed runs yesterday, but I assumed those were just retries and didn't give it much thought
14:19:53 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: Provide the mdev class for every PCI device https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/802918
14:19:54 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: Provide and use other RCs for mdevs if needed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/803233
14:19:54 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: Expose the mdev class https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/801743
14:19:55 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] update vgpu docs to account for generic mdev support https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/806412
14:21:29 artom Oooohhhh
14:21:53 sean-k-mooney this will be good. why so
14:21:58 artom If something's changed between PSN and PSN+1 that's not actually part of the change itself, it'll show the diff in yellow, not green
14:22:08 sean-k-mooney ah yes
14:22:10 sean-k-mooney it does
14:22:31 dansmith and sometimes blue right?
14:22:34 sean-k-mooney the colours depend on light vs dark mode
14:22:37 dansmith I haven't figured out the pattern
14:22:39 dansmith ah
14:22:45 artom I've only seen yellow so far
14:23:10 dansmith yeah, probably the dark switch, I had one machine in dark the other day
14:23:19 artom Reading the scrollback, what *was* the logic behind PUTing empty allocations instead of outright DELETE?
14:23:27 artom We had consumer generations, so... just because we could?
