16:14:41 bauzas cool

16:16:04 elodilles nope, i think that was all
16:16:07 elodilles from my side
16:16:15 elodilles sorry :)
16:17:10 bauzas cool, moving on
16:17:19 bauzas #topic Open discussion
16:17:29 bauzas (ykarel) Allow to add tb-cache size libvirt option for qemu, context https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1949606
16:17:33 bauzas ykarel: go for it
16:19:20 ykarel hi
16:19:41 ykarel so qemu-5.0.0(included in ubuntu jammy) update default tb cache size to 1 GiB(from 32 MiB) for system-emulated guest vms and with that each guest VM is using much more system memory(1 GB+ memory for guest), resulting into oom-kill issues when creating multiple guest vms concurrently in neutron scenario jobs using ubuntu guest vms
16:20:17 ykarel libvirt-8.0.0 added an option to configure it per guest vm
16:20:25 ykarel Currently testing WIP nova patch https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/868419 in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/+/881391
16:20:46 ykarel should this be a specless RFE or can continue as a bug?
16:20:54 sean-k-mooney ykarel: did you file the specless pluprint i asked for
16:20:56 sean-k-mooney ah
16:20:58 sean-k-mooney its not a bug
16:21:19 ykarel sean-k-mooney, i just added to meeting agenda to get clearity
16:21:29 ykarel but if it's a way to go then i will file it
16:21:30 sean-k-mooney we might conider it to be a small enough workaround that we might want to backport it upstream
16:21:33 sean-k-mooney to enable ci testing
16:22:27 ykarel hmm mainly would be needed for releases running on jammy
16:22:30 sean-k-mooney the issue is that i dont think 22.04 has libvirt 8.0.0
16:22:37 ykarel it has
16:22:44 ykarel that's what we testing
16:22:54 sean-k-mooney ah ok
16:23:07 bauzas we damn need update of https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/libvirt-distro-support-matrix.html
16:23:19 sean-k-mooney yes
16:23:30 sean-k-mooney so your patch is mising a min libvirt version check
16:23:33 bauzas we're still having libvirt 6.0.0 as a min, right?
16:23:35 sean-k-mooney so that will need to be added
16:23:40 ykarel from job logs libvirt-daemon 8.0.0-1ubuntu7.4
16:23:55 sean-k-mooney bauzas: yes and im hoping to bump that to 7.0.0 this release
16:23:58 ykarel sean-k-mooney, yes will include that in next update
16:24:10 sean-k-mooney but we will sitll need to check 8.0.0 supprot
16:24:15 sean-k-mooney ack
16:24:16 bauzas sean-k-mooney: but we would still need to only set it if libvirt >=8
16:24:32 bauzas do we want to schedule on it, or is it just a performance fix ?
16:24:34 sean-k-mooney ya either only set it or preferable check this in init-host
16:24:43 sean-k-mooney and raise an error if you set the config option on an old libvirt
16:24:58 bauzas will there be any config knob ?
16:25:07 sean-k-mooney yes there shoudl be
16:25:12 ykarel yes that's second question
16:25:14 sean-k-mooney to set the cache size
16:25:15 ykarel Default setting for this new option, unconfigured or set to defaults like 32MB or 128 MB etc?
16:26:07 bauzas ykarel: if that's a config option, that indeed needs to be an hard fail if the operators sets this config value
16:26:18 bauzas and libvirt isn't recent enough
16:26:23 sean-k-mooney its not somethign we should hardcode
16:26:28 ykarel bauzas, sure will take care that in the patch
16:26:29 bauzas for that reason, I'm not happy with a default value except none
16:26:47 sean-k-mooney so it shoudl eb a config option im ok with a low default or leaving it unset
16:27:02 bauzas I'd prefer it unset for upgrade reasons
16:27:04 ykarel okk Thanks will keep it like that no default and let user configure it
16:27:05 sean-k-mooney bauzas: to your poitn it woudl be nice to have a triat for this but not required
16:27:28 bauzas ykarel: s/user/operator but I think I get your point
16:27:50 ykarel so will propose the blueprint and update the patch with as per all the suggestions, Thanks
16:27:50 sean-k-mooney in this case really it will be the zuul job
