20:12:40 artom cpu_dedicated_set = 4-6
20:12:48 artom cpu_shared_set = 2,3
20:13:03 sean-k-mooney oh this was on the contoler
20:13:15 artom No you got it right, it's the compute
20:13:42 sean-k-mooney so ya sound like a trivial bug with isolate
20:13:54 sean-k-mooney that should eb simple to reproduce and fix
20:14:57 artom I think there are others
20:15:10 artom It's failing with a similar error on NUMA live migration...
20:15:21 sean-k-mooney that is the only one that can use a core form the cpu dedicated set that is not for a vcpu
20:15:22 artom But I need to track down the exact instance that it's live migrating...
20:16:02 sean-k-mooney so isolate is the only way we have a non vcpu pinned to the cpu_dedicated_set
20:16:42 sean-k-mooney for numa live migration this would cause issues if we dont have renes fix for the cpu pinning
20:17:16 artom Which we don't
20:17:33 sean-k-mooney well we should merge and backport that fix
20:17:39 sean-k-mooney for now can you file a bug for isolate
20:18:23 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/877773
20:18:37 sean-k-mooney so ya still open
20:18:53 artom Yeah, I guess he's concentrating on the manila stuff
20:19:05 sean-k-mooney which is fair
20:20:24 sean-k-mooney but that why that is broken
20:20:47 sean-k-mooney it should assumign its not in mergee confict
20:21:15 artom I'll see you in two hours ;)
20:21:43 sean-k-mooney i was going to say i wont be around then....
20:21:53 artom Which is entirely legitimate
20:21:56 sean-k-mooney but when has that happend when i planed
20:22:26 artom That's between you and your sense of disipline ;)
20:23:36 sean-k-mooney and my stomach
20:23:50 sean-k-mooney for some reasons it has notions that i should feed it at least once a day
20:24:22 artom Pfft, what does it think it is
20:25:23 sean-k-mooney so the bug is here by the way https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/cpu/api.py#L105
20:25:52 sean-k-mooney i could have sworn instance.numa_topology.cpu_pinning also had the isolated core for emulator threads
20:26:03 sean-k-mooney when using that policy
20:26:49 artom More in power_up(), but yeah
20:26:54 artom Both, really
20:28:50 sean-k-mooney so based on the docs string https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/objects/instance_numa.py#L291-L296
20:29:07 sean-k-mooney it should be all the cores for teh instance
20:29:18 artom When has a docstring ever been wrong ;)
20:39:06 sean-k-mooney i said this hsould be easy but this behviaor is berried deep in the cpu pinning code
20:39:57 sean-k-mooney looking at it quickly https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L2693-L2709
20:40:05 sean-k-mooney i think it shold be working...
20:40:13 artom Yeah, same, the more I look, the more I'm lost
20:40:45 sean-k-mooney as far as i can tell we are correctly reserving 1 addtional core in the vms numa node 0 for the isolated thread
20:41:09 sean-k-mooney and then storign it in the same set/dict as all the rest
20:41:25 sean-k-mooney that what if instance_cell.cpuset_reserved:
20:41:27 sean-k-mooney pinned_cpus |= instance_cell.cpuset_reserved
20:41:31 sean-k-mooney is doing
20:42:01 sean-k-mooney anyway first stpe file bug
20:42:18 sean-k-mooney second step create repoducer
20:43:50 artom So at least for that same instance
20:43:57 artom With the emulator thread on host CPU 4
20:44:01 artom It logs this:
20:44:06 artom Feb 21 19:15:30.167111 [compute/logs/screen-n-cpu.txt] np0036828693 nova-compute[42254]: DEBUG nova.virt.hardware [None req-ec45061f-e9a4-4b02-9354-0cb390bd28cf tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592 tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592-project-member] Selected cores for pinning: [(0, 6), (1, 5)], in cell 0 {{(pid=42254) _pack_instance_onto_cores /opt/stack/nova/nova/virt/hardware.py:905}}
20:44:21 sean-k-mooney so im sus that https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L2689-L2694
20:44:39 sean-k-mooney does not have a bug
20:44:54 sean-k-mooney but i cant fully say why i felll like that
20:45:56 artom So it doesn't log the "extra" emulator thread core
20:46:03 sean-k-mooney right
20:46:08 artom And doesn't pin it at https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L908
20:46:08 sean-k-mooney just doing an or
20:46:10 sean-k-mooney pinned_cpus |= instance_cell.cpuset_reserved
20:46:48 sean-k-mooney would work if cpuset_reserved is disjoit from instance_cell.cpu_pinning.values()
20:46:52 sean-k-mooney which it should be
20:47:03 sean-k-mooney but...
20:48:37 sean-k-mooney this do you see this debug message https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L663-L673
20:48:55 sean-k-mooney Packing an instance onto a set of sibling ...
20:49:33 artom Feb 21 19:15:30.165439 [compute/logs/screen-n-cpu.txt] np0036828693 nova-compute[42254]: DEBUG nova.virt.hardware [None req-ec45061f-e9a4-4b02-9354-0cb390bd28cf tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592 tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592-project-member] Packing an instance onto a set of siblings: host_cell_free_siblings: [{6}, set(), {5}, {4}, set()] instance_cell: InstanceNUMACell(cpu_pinning_raw=None,cpu_policy='dedi

20:50:07 sean-k-mooney ok so ya its asking for the the isolated core
20:50:22 artom Well, we know the policy itself works
20:50:37 artom But is it recording the extra pinned core in a way that the CPU power management code can then power on/off
20:50:52 sean-k-mooney so we should run https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L754-L782
20:51:18 sean-k-mooney its recordigin it in cpuset_reserved
20:51:34 sean-k-mooney which is then |= with the other cores
20:51:35 artom The comment on that says that it's reserved for the hypervisor
20:51:46 artom In the object
20:52:12 sean-k-mooney in this case hypervior means qemu
20:52:22 sean-k-mooney its reserved for the qemu emulator thread
20:52:28 artom Hah
20:52:58 artom So should the power management code be powering down/up cpuset_reserved as well?
20:53:25 artom Without going through the whole paperwork, we can do a quick POC and Depends-on in whitebox to see
20:53:29 sean-k-mooney it should already be incldued into pinned_cpus
20:53:33 sean-k-mooney but yes
20:53:44 sean-k-mooney it should be powering up the emulator thread core
20:53:59 sean-k-mooney do you see this message https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L776-L777
20:54:55 artom It just checks cpu_pinning...
20:54:58 sean-k-mooney yep
20:55:00 sean-k-mooney Feb 21 19:15:30.166825 np0036828693 nova-compute[42254]: INFO nova.virt.hardware [None req-ec45061f-e9a4-4b02-9354-0cb390bd28cf tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592 tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592-project-member] Computed NUMA topology reserved pCPUs: usable pCPUs: [[], [], [4]], reserved pCPUs: {4}
20:55:13 sean-k-mooney but notice anythying odd
20:55:36 sean-k-mooney we have these two logs back to back
20:55:39 sean-k-mooney Feb 21 19:15:30.166472 np0036828693 nova-compute[42254]: INFO nova.virt.hardware [None req-ec45061f-e9a4-4b02-9354-0cb390bd28cf tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592 tempest-EmulatorThreadTest-1184416592-project-member] Computed NUMA topology CPU pinning: usable pCPUs: [[6], [5], [4]], vCPUs mapping: [(0, 6), (1, 5)]

20:56:29 sean-k-mooney it calulated both
20:56:34 sean-k-mooney and we shoudl be merging them
20:57:22 sean-k-mooney but then it prints
20:57:24 sean-k-mooney Selected cores for pinning: [(0, 6), (1, 5)], in cell 0 {{(pid=42254) _pack_instance_onto_cores /opt/stack/nova/nova/virt/hardware.py:905}}
20:58:29 sean-k-mooney which is form here https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3209f6551652cff7bef0b9d9719ab940dd05a0f8/nova/virt/hardware.py#L905-L906
20:59:44 sean-k-mooney artom: tldr adding cpuset_reserved to power on and power off would fix it
20:59:56 artom Yeah, lemme try a quick hax of that
21:00:16 sean-k-mooney but but i thin kbased on the code we ere expiectin that not to be required
21:00:50 sean-k-mooney so maybe we need to update the doc string or the propery to include cpuset_reserved
