15:52:19 kashyap Hm, I see.
15:52:31 gibi so the patch itself is not related
15:53:50 kashyap dansmith: Hm, if we can't figure out a way get a local reproducer, it throws a wrench in our communication with kernel maintainers (whether it be distro or upstream). I'm sure you know this
15:54:09 kashyap I'm wondering how we can unjam this "deadlock" situation.
15:54:38 dansmith there's still information in the stack traces to provide hints on where to go from here
15:55:19 bauzas nova meeting in 5 mins
15:55:23 bauzas *here
15:55:29 dansmith and also, kernel developers are (IME) used to working on issues they can't reproduce because they're related to hardware and/or deadlocks where we can't get forensics out
15:56:28 dansmith a kernel developer might also have a better idea about how to force a repro from the details of what was happening when it faulted
15:57:43 kashyap dansmith: Yeah; that's a fair point; at least _some_ of the traces should lead us somewhere
15:59:14 kashyap And to your previous point, from a recent experience one kernel trace, I did see at least one kernel maintainer immediately say "it's a known issue due to a hardware bug"
15:59:20 dansmith it's also in very early boot of a kernel and userspace they have good access to

16:07:21 bauzas elodilles: your time
16:07:25 elodilles o/
16:07:32 elodilles nothing to report actually
16:07:37 elodilles state is the same as last week
16:07:57 elodilles (i've pinged release cores to approve Nova's Zed release)
16:08:02 bauzas ++
16:08:02 elodilles that's all
16:08:13 bauzas I think I did +1 for the zed release
16:08:21 elodilles yepp, you did
16:08:25 bauzas cool
16:08:36 bauzas elodilles: thanks
16:08:39 elodilles thanks too :)
16:08:40 bauzas #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights
16:08:50 bauzas grandchild: fwiesel: your time :)
16:09:01 fwiesel #Info ETA on exemption for public access by end of week. Hopefully under DNS name: openstack-ci-logs.global.cloud.sap
16:09:12 bauzas <3
16:09:14 fwiesel So, not much happened. Still wrapped in red tape. But at least I have a dns name.
16:09:35 bauzas so we'll wait :)
16:09:36 fwiesel That's it from my side. Any questions?
16:09:41 bauzas thanks a lot
16:09:44 bauzas nope from me
16:09:50 fwiesel You're welcome.
16:10:27 bauzas I think we said we should wait until milestone-2 for seeing whether we would remove vmwareapi, but given what you did and what you continue, of course we won't
16:10:45 bauzas so let's continue to see what things happen
16:11:01 fwiesel Thanks. Much appreciated.
16:11:08 bauzas thanks folks for the work, definitely nice
16:11:21 bauzas #topic Open discussion
16:11:32 bauzas nothing in the agenda, anything anyone ?

16:13:02 fwiesel Thanks chat with you next week, hopefully with more news
16:14:39 bauzas ++
16:26:16 Uggla @bauzas, sorry I was discussing with Artom, and I did not managed to answer.
16:27:47 Uggla Yep I updated the status of the bugs. I read a lot of them, but did not manage to triage a lot of them.
16:29:06 opendevreview Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/placement master: Bump hacking https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/905706
16:29:08 Uggla I think https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2048154 is important to be fixed. I hope @Amit could have a look.
16:30:26 opendevreview Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/python-novaclient master: Bump hacking https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-novaclient/+/905707
16:41:58 opendevreview Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/osc-placement master: Bump hacking https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/osc-placement/+/905715
16:44:24 frickler kashyap: dansmith: added some comments on the etherpad. given that the issue (afaict) only happens for volume resize tests, I'm wondering how we could verify that no actual data corruption is happening on the volume in that scenario
16:44:42 frickler because if it does happen, chasing possible kernel bugs is kind of moot
16:45:14 kashyap frickler: Hi, yeah, I've just seen your comment on the Etherpad. Good question. (I'm in a meeting, and will be slow here)
16:45:31 dansmith frickler: these test instances haven't even made it out of initial kernel boot, so no real opportunity to corrupt anything yet
