16:37:04 stephenfin That's the bulk of it
16:37:14 stephenfin (It took ages to load for me too)
16:37:16 gibi bauzas: ahh I see
16:37:32 stephenfin bauzas: What are you thinking? Something AI/GPU-flavoured?
16:37:39 gibi bauzas: showing the latest updates might make sense
16:37:41 Uggla thx stephenfin
16:37:45 bauzas previously we were providing project updates
16:37:54 gibi yeah someting like that^^
16:37:56 bauzas looks like the pavilion is the new form
16:38:08 stephenfin Ah, nice one
16:38:23 bauzas cool, then that's settled
16:38:37 bauzas and Uggla, will you be at the summit ?
16:38:46 Uggla yes
16:38:47 bauzas fancy co-presenting ?
16:38:58 gibi bauzas: if you could also mention to the folks that we are removing eventlet and ask them to try threading mode and report any issues that would be awesomej
16:39:16 bauzas gibi: that will certainly be part of the project updates :)
16:39:16 dansmith gibi: yeah, definitely
16:39:24 Uggla gibi 👍
16:39:35 dansmith definitely try to get some people on board for testing and providing feedback
16:39:43 Uggla bauzas, will be happy to copresent with you
16:40:11 bauzas cool, settled as I said
16:40:12 gibi ahh I see it will be in France hence we will have nice representation
16:40:14 bauzas moving on ?
16:41:04 Uggla anything else you want to discuss ?
16:41:20 gibi o/
16:41:22 gibi pyroute2
16:41:39 Uggla sure, sorry I was about to forget about it! Thx
16:42:08 gibi so the previous issue about async loops are reproduces with 0.9.4 as well
16:42:27 gibi so the supposed fix wasn't a real fix, it probably decreased the chance of happening
16:42:54 gibi I pinged the release channel asking if we can revert back to 0.8.x so late in the cycle. I got no answers yet
16:43:19 tkajinam you mean requirements channel ?
16:44:01 gibi I pinged the release channel I'm not aware of having a separate channel to requirements
16:44:14 elodilles #openstack-requirements o:)
16:44:20 tkajinam yeah
16:44:26 sean-k-mooney gibi: is there a workaround
16:44:26 elodilles but i think i pinged the release folks
16:44:31 elodilles on release channel
16:44:32 sean-k-mooney beyond downgrading
16:44:46 gibi sean-k-mooney: try again and it will succeed
16:44:56 elodilles (yeah, i did ping them)
16:45:02 gibi the issue happens pretty infrequently
16:45:34 gibi https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-vif/+bug/2109396
16:45:37 sean-k-mooney i guess you could also use the legacy vsctl driver if we have not deleted that yet
16:45:40 gibi this is the bug it has the links
16:45:55 sean-k-mooney oh actully no
16:46:25 gibi I also don't have clear answer if we can revert the requirements
16:46:28 gibi later on stable
16:46:47 tkajinam though I've been struggling to get any feedback there. Maybe sending an email to ml would be a good option, hoping that Tony and Sean may be reading it. though I know release team has full +2 access to requirements, too.
16:47:03 tkajinam I mean I've been struggling to get any feedback in #openstack-requirements
16:47:25 gibi I will drop a mail to the ML
16:47:26 sean-k-mooney gibi: i guess the reals concern with the cap
16:47:32 tkajinam frickler has been the only one there for some time (though he is not a req team member but a release team member)
16:47:34 sean-k-mooney is has neutron started depending on it
16:47:39 sean-k-mooney and what are distos shiping
16:48:45 sean-k-mooney if we cant cap it later we mgith eb able to work around it with a retry in os-vif by cathcing the RuntimeError
16:48:52 gibi at least ykarel is aware of the issue from neutron as he discovered that the issue is happening with 0.9.4
16:49:22 sean-k-mooney meaning they likely would not object to the cap?
16:49:36 sean-k-mooney i.e. its impacting them also
16:49:36 gibi I don't want to solve it here. I will drop a mail to ML asking for guidance from requirements team
16:49:42 sean-k-mooney ack
16:49:49 gibi I think they saw it in CI
16:49:57 gibi making interface attach failing
16:50:14 gibi but the failure is during the call from nova
16:50:22 gibi not a call form neutron to os-vif
16:50:34 sean-k-mooney ack well as i said we may be able to catch that excption and retry a limtied number of tiem in os-vif
16:50:43 sean-k-mooney kind of like we do for powering off cores
16:50:48 gibi sure. I rather want pyroute2 to fix the async code
16:50:49 sean-k-mooney btu i know neutron uses it more widely
16:51:09 gibi anyhow I have nothing further on this
16:52:17 elodilles (i added this to release team's weekly meeting's agenda for Friday, but i really hope that this will be sorted out until then :S)
16:53:02 gibi no worries I think we can go out with Flamingo even if the bug is there. Occasional failures that are fixed by the human retrying is not an end of the world
16:53:27 gibi elodilles: thanks!j
16:53:54 elodilles gibi: thanks too in advance for your mail to ML about this
16:55:03 Uggla good, anything else ?
16:55:43 tkajinam I was wondering if I could get any thoughts for https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2122296 . we don't have enough time and I likely skip the meeting next week but we can discuss it later here or the meeting in 2 weeks
16:56:20 tkajinam that's about sateless firmware but I also want to discuss similar problem with sev/sev-es, too
16:56:45 sean-k-mooney i belive we had a similar situration with secure boot before
16:57:19 sean-k-mooney i.e. if you enabel uefi adn dont reqeust secure boto we shoudl not use the SB+SMM one right
16:57:30 tkajinam yeah
16:57:31 tkajinam we have firmware detection logic for secure boot now so I'm wondering if I should follow that pattern.
16:57:46 tkajinam though this means that we may break existing usage with firmware without explicit support declared
16:58:09 tkajinam (I feel like such usage would be anyway broken but want to hear any opinion about it
16:58:13 sean-k-mooney ya i dont have context loaded but i think that would be a good thing to fix eventually
16:58:36 tkajinam this is just for early heads-up
16:59:16 sean-k-mooney we cant rely on libvirt to select it?
16:59:29 sean-k-mooney i vagely recall that being a thing in newer relases
16:59:29 tkajinam we can, though that would be a huge change
16:59:47 tkajinam libvirt is now capable to select a correct firmware with only flags provided
16:59:47 sean-k-mooney ack. that is prbaly the correct long term solution
17:00:00 tkajinam Uggla, I think we can wrap up the call (unless anyone else has additional topics)
17:00:11 tkajinam s/call/meeting/
17:01:02 Uggla ok time to close. Thanks everyone.
