| #openstack-nova - 2021-10-26 | |||
| 16:28:00 | bauzas | which I failed with rhel 8.2 | |
| 16:28:05 | bauzas | but meh | |
| 16:28:21 | bauzas | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:28:23 | sean-k-mooney | bauzas: now that we have generic mdev support it might want to see if we can support the dummy kernel moduels at some point | |
| 16:28:30 | bauzas | elodilles: floor is yours | |
| 16:28:38 | elodilles | from xena till train the gates are not blocked | |
| 16:28:40 | kashyap | bauzas: On a phone call :-( Will come back here; it's not super urgent | |
| 16:28:42 | bauzas | sean-k-mooney: agreed | |
| 16:28:48 | kashyap | bauzas: In short, it's this one: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-October/025500.html | |
| 16:28:49 | elodilles | stein and older stable branches are blocked, needs the setuptools pinning patch to unblock: https://review.opendev.org/q/I26b2a14e0b91c0ab77299c3e4fbed5f7916fe8cf | |
| 16:28:56 | kashyap | And it's resolved now. | |
| 16:29:12 | elodilles | Ussuri Extended Maintenance transition is in two weeks (Nov 12) | |
| 16:29:22 | kashyap | (The resolution: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-October/025527.html) | |
| 16:29:29 | elodilles | we might not need another release on ussuri before the transition, as there are not that many patch merged since the last release from early October | |
| 16:29:52 | elodilles | (the list of open and unreleased patches anyway: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-ussuri-em ) | |
| 16:30:02 | elodilles | that's it ^^^ | |
| 16:30:05 | gibi | elodilles: when you say not many, you mean zero bugfix? | |
| 16:30:07 | bauzas | elodilles: if you feel we need to do some reviewing efforts before EM, let me know | |
| 16:30:26 | elodilles | gibi: i mean 1 or 2 bugfix :) | |
| 16:30:29 | sean-k-mooney | elodilles: ack i might try to rebase and submit the libvirt os-vif deleagtion patchs | |
| 16:30:51 | sean-k-mooney | before ussuri em if there is another release | |
| 16:30:56 | gibi | elodilles: hm if there are real fixes there then I might make sense to release them before we EM | |
| 16:31:11 | gibi | s/I/it/ | |
| 16:31:19 | bauzas | agreed with gibi | |
| 16:31:25 | elodilles | yes, it makes sense to release, | |
| 16:31:55 | elodilles | though we shouldn't hurry with merging things if we are not sure that it won't cause any regression | |
| 16:32:05 | elodilles | as this will be the *final* release | |
| 16:32:39 | bauzas | elodilles: I'm a bit busy tomorrow as I promised many things but I'd appreciate if you could chase me and a couple of other cores about reviews either Thursday or next week | |
| 16:33:11 | elodilles | bauzas: sure, | |
| 16:33:28 | elodilles | there are some bug fixes that needs a 2nd +2 | |
| 16:34:01 | elodilles | but if anyone see any other bugfix that would be good to merge, then let us know | |
| 16:34:14 | bauzas | cool | |
| 16:34:52 | bauzas | #topic Sub/related team Highlights | |
| 16:35:01 | bauzas | lyarwood is still on PTO | |
| 16:35:23 | bauzas | so I'll skip this part and I don't think we need to discuss about libvirt by now | |
| 16:35:30 | bauzas | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:35:36 | bauzas | #agreed Reminder : The Asian-friendly meeting is now cancelled due to lack of presence. | |
| 16:35:56 | bauzas | so we won't run a meeting on Nov 4th | |
| 16:36:05 | bauzas | I'll send an email accordingly | |
| 16:36:57 | bauzas | just a personal note, I'll be on company PTO on Friday 29th and Nov 1st is bank holiday in France | |
| 16:37:15 | bauzas | so don't expect me between Thursday EOB and Tuesday | |
| 16:37:54 | bauzas | we have one item that was written in the wiki | |
| 16:38:01 | bauzas | add Support volumes backed by VStorageObject -> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vmware-fcd and https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/808791 | |
| 16:38:37 | sean-k-mooney | yes so as far as i can tell i think they implemented the feature in cinder and likely the out of tree driver | |
| 16:38:39 | bauzas | not sure the proposer is around | |
| 16:38:49 | sean-k-mooney | now they are looking to add support in the intree one | |
| 16:38:53 | bauzas | I don't know his IRC nick | |
| 16:39:04 | bauzas | so I can't ping him | |
| 16:39:49 | gibi | looking at the patch the change is confined in the vmware driver | |
| 16:39:57 | sean-k-mooney | ya so i reviewed this and to me this si a feature not a bug so i assed them to raise this in this meeting | |
| 16:40:10 | gibi | so I think it is OK as a specless bp | |
| 16:40:13 | sean-k-mooney | im infavor of just proceeding with this as a speckless bp | |
| 16:40:52 | bauzas | OK, we don't have a lof of people around | |
| 16:40:58 | sean-k-mooney | its not a bug so it should not be backported but as i mentioned above i stonly suspect this was implemente din the out of tree driver and they are just closing the gap | |
| 16:40:59 | bauzas | but we can make it a specless BP | |
| 16:41:06 | bauzas | do people agree ? | |
| 16:41:48 | sean-k-mooney | yep | |
| 16:41:54 | bauzas | #agreed https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/vmware-fcd approved as a specless blueprint | |
| 16:41:54 | gibi | yep | |
| 16:42:01 | sean-k-mooney | the cinder feature was completed 4 years ago by the way https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/521213/ | |
| 16:42:32 | bauzas | (/me can't remember how to formally approve BPs in Launchpad but that's something I'll sort out after this meeting) | |
| 16:42:53 | sean-k-mooney | that one already is | |
| 16:42:58 | bauzas | I just did | |
| 16:43:04 | sean-k-mooney | ah | |
| 16:43:08 | bauzas | direction and definitions are now approved | |
| 16:43:24 | bauzas | but nevermind, will figure it out or will hassle gibi | |
| 16:43:25 | sean-k-mooney | you likely shoudl set the serise goal to yoga too | |
| 16:43:41 | gibi | bauzas: set approver, series goal, and maybe milestone target | |
| 16:43:55 | gibi | bauzas: you can also set implementation status as we have a patch already | |
| 16:44:09 | sean-k-mooney | right it should be in need_review | |
| 16:44:57 | bauzas | ok, done | |
| 16:45:00 | bauzas | anyway | |
| 16:45:23 | bauzas | kashyap: are you done chatting ? you said you had a thing to discuss | |
| 16:45:49 | kashyap | bauzas: Yes, here | |
| 16:45:51 | bauzas | #link http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-October/025500.html | |
| 16:45:54 | kashyap | bauzas: Sorry for "talking over" earlier | |
| 16:46:08 | bauzas | is this^ more a FYI ? | |
| 16:46:12 | kashyap | Yep | |
| 16:46:26 | kashyap | bauzas: In short: DevStack now defults to "Nehalem" CPU model for reasons outlined there. | |
| 16:46:43 | bauzas | kashyap: devstack/rhel you mean ? | |
| 16:46:47 | kashyap | No | |
| 16:46:50 | kashyap | DevStack upstream | |
| 16:47:06 | kashyap | I worked w/ Clark to get the patch merged in DevStack | |
| 16:47:20 | bauzas | I mean, devstack all distros or only upstream devstack with rhel ? | |
| 16:47:40 | kashyap | For all. | |
| 16:47:44 | bauzas | ack | |
| 16:47:54 | sean-k-mooney | for all on x86 | |
| 16:47:57 | kashyap | Everything is summarized and resolved in that thread. | |
| 16:48:23 | kashyap | Yes, x86 is "implied architecture", when we don't name an arch :) | |
| 16:48:47 | bauzas | okay, do we need further actions, like documenting it ? | |
| 16:48:55 | bauzas | in our relnotes or in the install docs ? | |
| 16:49:07 | sean-k-mooney | no we dont need to document anythign in nova | |
| 16:49:15 | kashyap | Yep; nothing needs documentation in Nova | |
| 16:49:27 | bauzas | my confusion comes from the fact we changed default for all distros, not only rhel | |
| 16:49:27 | sean-k-mooney | rhel have documented there new compilation target already in a blog | |
| 16:49:37 | kashyap | bauzas: No further action; just an FYI here ... if anyone in case notices "why is DevStack giving me Nehalem by default" | |
| 16:49:48 | kashyap | Yep; linked to in the post to the upstream list | |
| 16:50:05 | bauzas | kashyap: little chances that people notice this change by looking at our meeting minutes, honestly | |
| 16:50:24 | bauzas | but okay, noted. | |
| 16:50:31 | kashyap | bauzas: I've notified the Whitebox / CI folks to change their scripts too | |
