#openstack-nova - 2022-06-21
09:46:41 sean-k-mooney is there a reason we allow that
09:46:57 sean-k-mooney unlike the flavor for example we are not embdeding a copy fo the instance group
09:47:16 sean-k-mooney so we really should not allow ti to be remvoed if its in use
09:47:23 sean-k-mooney do we know why we do today?
09:48:44 bauzas sean-k-mooney: because Instance Groups are a terrible concept ?N
09:49:03 sean-k-mooney not nessiarly they may be implemented badly
09:49:23 sean-k-mooney the concept is not a bad one but the way we implemeted them is not good
09:52:56 gibi bauzas: could this be the reason we bail out https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/ebe08834f311e8e22bfd9685d7e6e91dab967382/nova/compute/manager.py#L1742
09:53:11 gibi (still instrumenting the code with logs then I will rerun the repro attempt)
09:55:00 gibi btw I agree with sean that group is a better concept than same_host / different_host hints, as the hints were not reflexive
09:55:24 gibi strike reflexive
09:55:28 gibi symmetric
09:55:34 gibi they wasnt symmetirc
09:56:01 bauzas let's discuss this tomorrow at the bug call
09:56:04 bauzas shit, d/s
10:11:03 gibi I have /etc/nova/nova-cpu.conf:disable_group_policy_check_upcall = True in my env, restaring repro ....
10:12:25 sean-k-mooney isnt that our default
10:14:45 gibi nope
10:14:49 gibi the default is false
10:14:57 gibi I had an explicit True set for some reason
10:17:21 sean-k-mooney devstack set it to true by defualt i think
10:17:37 gibi yepp devastack by default does not even support the upcall
10:17:54 gibi so If I enable the upcall nova blows as no DB access
10:19:00 sean-k-mooney wait what
10:19:08 sean-k-mooney it shoudl be doing that via rpc to conductor
10:19:20 sean-k-mooney is it trying to use the old local conductor path
10:19:23 sean-k-mooney and directly access the db
10:20:37 gibi https://paste.opendev.org/show/bxWFPkh1OoBfWlM15mS0/
10:20:59 gibi it calls up to the cell conductor
10:21:06 gibi and cell conductor fails to read the api db
10:21:13 gibi as cell conductors has no access to the api db
10:21:14 sean-k-mooney oh
10:21:20 sean-k-mooney right
10:21:27 gibi the upcall is between the cell and the super conductor
10:21:27 sean-k-mooney so this will only work in singel conductor mode
10:21:32 sean-k-mooney which devstack support
10:21:35 sean-k-mooney but its not the default
10:21:59 gibi I can simply promote my cell conductor to a super one by adding the api db settings to it
10:22:10 sean-k-mooney yep that would work
10:22:21 gibi but this really feels like something that upstream we dont test hence dont really support
10:22:37 gibi anyhow I do the propomotion and retry
10:22:38 sean-k-mooney well we do have supprot to test this in devstack
10:22:46 gibi do we have jobs testing it?
10:22:51 sean-k-mooney i dobt it
10:22:56 gibi we have code, we dont have test :D
10:23:09 sean-k-mooney ill check with codesearch
10:23:13 sean-k-mooney and see if anything enables it
10:23:30 gibi anyhow I go and do the promotion now and retry. I still believe that nova handles the missing group gracefully
10:24:20 sean-k-mooney so kolla-ansible disable the upcall out of the box i didnt get any hits form tripleo or pupet so i assuem they have it enabled
10:24:32 sean-k-mooney ooo actully would work since it does not supprot super conductors
10:25:10 sean-k-mooney well if you do multi cell its usign the cell1 conductor as the super conductor
10:25:18 sean-k-mooney so it would work only in cell1
10:26:04 gibi intersting setup
10:26:04 gibi :)
10:26:19 sean-k-mooney https://opendev.org/openstack/grenade/src/branch/master/.zuul.yaml#L188=
10:26:31 sean-k-mooney so our grenade job apprently uses singel conductor mode
10:27:12 sean-k-mooney so we could renable the upcall check there if we wanted
10:27:52 sean-k-mooney gibi: could we consider changing the default for this or removing the call eventually
10:27:58 gibi yeah but there we dont do evac testing
10:28:19 gibi sean-k-mooney: I don't know what is the startegy I think originally we wanted to get rid of all the upcall
10:28:22 gibi s
10:28:36 sean-k-mooney yes we did
10:28:42 gibi but apperantly we never went there and replaced them with calls pushing down the necessary daya
10:28:42 sean-k-mooney we currently only have 2 i think
10:28:45 gibi data
10:29:13 sean-k-mooney we have the track_instance_changes config option ot push data to the schduler
10:29:22 sean-k-mooney and the group policy check upcall
10:32:20 gibi OK now I can reproduce the issue on master https://paste.opendev.org/show/btK22SLw4UH6oDDu5wKw/
10:32:23 gibi we go this way https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/ebe08834f311e8e22bfd9685d7e6e91dab967382/nova/compute/manager.py#L1733
10:32:37 gibi and there we dont have the except branch
10:32:48 gibi not like in L1741
10:33:37 sean-k-mooney yep
10:33:53 sean-k-mooney that what i was saying downstream
10:34:04 gibi now we have proof :)
10:34:15 sean-k-mooney we jut need to move the try to the top of the if
10:34:21 gibi bauzas: ^^ I go re-triage the upstream bug
10:34:39 sean-k-mooney so https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/ebe08834f311e8e22bfd9685d7e6e91dab967382/nova/compute/manager.py#L1738= need to move to https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/ebe08834f311e8e22bfd9685d7e6e91dab967382/nova/compute/manager.py#L1718=
10:35:18 sean-k-mooney it shoudl be easy to prove that with a unit test too
10:39:57 gibi sean-k-mooney, bauzas: I updated the upstream bug. I agree that we should fix this as suggested ^^.
10:40:16 gibi but now I go get some lunch and go back to the pci tracking patches
10:42:33 sean-k-mooney gibi: do you want me to just submit a unit test repoducer and then move the try
10:42:41 gibi sean-k-mooney: sure you can go
10:42:59 gibi I'm not assigning the bug to me :)
