| 12:47:58 | sean-k-mooney | Some PCI devices have non-prefetchable memory bar larger than 2MiB. Use this attribute to override value computed by firmware and thus make controller reserve more memory (in KiB) so that such PCI device can be hot plugged. For cold plugged PCI devices, the firmware will automatically reserve the correct amount of memory``` | |
| 12:48:25 | sean-k-mooney | but i dont think that is correect | |
| 12:59:59 | sean-k-mooney | grami[m]: you not trying to use resizable bar ar you? | |
| 13:04:16 | sean-k-mooney | just doing a little quick resarch qemu/libvirt wont do the resize for you you have to do that manually today before bindign the device to vfio-pci. second there is a limisation in ovmf by default where the adress apce resverd sames to default to 32GB for mmio mappings https://edk2.groups.io/g/discuss/topic/59340711 | |
| 13:05:37 | sean-k-mooney | we do not allow any use of <qemu:commandline> in nova so you woudl need that to be supproted in libvirt nativly before turnign the mmio apature via "fw_cfg name=opt/ovmf/X-PciMmio64Mb,string=65536" coudl be supproted | |
| 13:05:56 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: | |
| 13:06:07 | gibi | thanks for the review in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/954149 | |
| 13:06:42 | gibi | I responded inline. bottom line your reserved idea is probably correct, but I'm afraid of the complexity of the patch already | |
| 13:07:08 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: that not a blocker | |
| 13:07:16 | sean-k-mooney | we can consider it in a followup | |
| 13:07:24 | sean-k-mooney | i was jsut trying to think is there a way to close that gap | |
| 13:09:21 | grami[m] | sean-k-mooney: Yeah had to add that Nvidia says it's a requirement for the larger gpus | |
| 13:09:50 | sean-k-mooney | grami[m]: based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578278 it looks lime https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/2023.1/approved/libvirt-maxphysaddr-support.html may also impact that | |
| 13:09:57 | sean-k-mooney | but i dont think the two ar the same | |
| 13:10:12 | grami[m] | Already have a patch for this but it's medieval in its method but works for now. | |
| 13:10:16 | sean-k-mooney | we cant accapt any change that uses raw <qemu:commandline> elements in nova | |
| 13:10:52 | sean-k-mooney | so if we need to tweak the ovmf parmater seperatly form teh cpu adress space | |
| 13:10:58 | sean-k-mooney | we will need to modify libvirt first | |
| 13:11:52 | grami[m] | Ah thanks for that | |

| 13:41:01 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: it is the freqency and the impact of the gap vs. my fears of the complexity to close and test that gap is what makes me reluctant | |
| 13:45:44 | gibi | bauzas: re | |
| 13:45:45 | gibi | 10:32 < bauzas> honestly, I don't have any number, if the job works up to tomorrow, then if so, let's leave it to be voting :) | |

| 16:04:25 | Uggla | Anythink special with the gates ? | |
| 16:04:33 | Uggla | Anything special with the gates ? | |
| 16:04:34 | gibi | just a heads up | |
| 16:05:15 | gibi | that I see multiple cases when the ceph multistore job failed due to volume build issues and mostly in the encrypted volume tempest tests | |
| 16:05:41 | gibi | I did not dig deeper but I feel it is a pattern | |
| 16:07:06 | Uggla | an idea of the success/failure rate ? | |
| 16:07:30 | gibi | https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=nova-ceph-multistore&project=openstack/nova | |
| 16:07:33 | gibi | not terrible | |
| 16:08:49 | gibi | I will try to dig into the failure tomorrow | |
| 16:08:59 | Uggla | ok thanks gibi | |
| 16:09:16 | Uggla | although that looks not easy. | |

| 16:21:18 | jayaanand | i am from NetApp. Multiple customers asking for extending NFS volumes attached to instances | |
| 16:21:40 | gmaan | right, I opened those when you added me in review and then got distracted, will check those | |
| 16:21:51 | Uggla | gmaan 👍 | |
| 16:22:14 | jayaanand | Is it possible in G release | |
| 16:22:50 | Uggla | jayaanand, it is a feature if I'm not wrong. | |
| 16:23:17 | jayaanand | Related to spec https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/949504 | |
| 16:26:12 | Uggla | ok I'll put that in the PTG topic, it is in the pipe for quite a long time. So I'll try to set it as a "priority". | |
| 16:26:29 | Uggla | Any draft patches already attached to it ? | |
| 16:28:15 | jayaanand | Thank you! We don't have any draft patch | |
| 16:29:20 | dansmith | jayaanand: you don't have draft patches because... you expect someone else to work on it? | |
| 16:29:44 | jayaanand | We have partial fix proposed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/680648 for a Bug related to NFS extension. Is it possible to merge | |
