17:35:35 sean-k-mooney 2026-05-18 13:15:38.441296 | compute1 | "msg": "ssh: connect to host 23.253.56.19 port 22: Connection timed out\r\nrsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]\nrsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(232) [Receiver=3.2.7]\n",

17:35:39 sean-k-mooney 2026-05-18 13:15:38.441417 | compute1 | }
17:35:48 sean-k-mooney that i think was the actual reason it fiald but ill check again when it reports back
17:36:32 sean-k-mooney ah the live migration job in the recheck has already passed https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/ea322beec7b145c49f2316d6b1b5ec7e
17:37:07 sean-k-mooney so ya it was just a network blip on teh ci vms
17:41:03 sean-k-mooney lajoskatona: if your intreested in whta th job was doing we run this as a post playbook in the job https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/playbooks/nova-live-migration/post-run.yaml which invokes this role to test evacuate https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/roles/run-evacuate-hook/tasks/main.yaml
17:52:07 lajoskatona sean-k-mooney: thanks, I check these good to look exotic non-neutron jobs sometimes :-)
17:52:40 sean-k-mooney so form a neutron perspective
17:52:50 sean-k-mooney nova-live-migration tests live migration with ovn
17:53:04 sean-k-mooney nova-next tests live migraiton with ml2/ovs and the ovs firewall driver
17:53:18 sean-k-mooney and nova-alt-config tests ml2/ovs with the iptabels firewall driver
17:53:25 sean-k-mooney all with local nova storage
17:53:40 sean-k-mooney and nova-live-migration-ceph is ovn + cpeh for the vm storage
17:54:31 sean-k-mooney so we try to cover the most common cofnigurations
18:20:35 blanson[m] Hello guys, quick question. I'm seeing a seemingly "normal" alert on my rabbitmq cluster for nova because scheduler_fanout stream queue il pilling up with nova_instance_info messages ? from what I could read in the code this is normal, expected behavior ? Is it up to the operator to tweaks retention on this queue to not have it pile up to infinity ?
18:21:34 blanson[m] https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/compute/manager.py#L2428 <- this specifically from my understanding produces those messages which are never consumed ? or is something broken on my end ?
19:03:16 sean-k-mooney soh those are consumed by the schduelr if you have that enabled
19:08:52 blanson[m] I see, but it's not consumed by default ? in which case retention policy should be fine ?
19:35:40 sean-k-mooney blanson[m]: sorry was disctrcted
19:36:30 sean-k-mooney blanson[m]: i woudl have to confirm but i belive this is contole by https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#filter_scheduler.track_instance_changes
19:36:52 sean-k-mooney blanson[m]: and by defautl these are both sent by the compute nodes and consubed by the schduler
19:37:09 blanson[m] I arrived to the same bit of code by digging, I will give that a try to see if that indeed starts consumming messages, thank you !
19:37:18 sean-k-mooney however if you have multiple cells then it may not work
19:40:21 sean-k-mooney blanson[m]: the other thing that is related to this si you shoudl only enable notificaion if there is a consumer in general
19:41:07 sean-k-mooney if you have notificaion enabel dits ecpected tha tyou either have a consumer for those or you have implemetin a retaion policy on rabbit ectra to discard them after a given treashold
19:42:11 sean-k-mooney blanson[m]: actully looking again https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.scheduler_instance_sync_interval i sthe confgi to contol this and you can disble it by seting that to -1
19:48:14 blanson[m] I will have a look into the track_instance_change, but my next plan was to indeed disable the whole thing otherwise ! thank you very much !
20:28:48 blanson[m] well, apparently that's an oslo_messaging/rabbitmq issue. I had the correct consumer configuration on the scheduler side, but messages in stream fanout queues are never ack'd. as per https://docs.openstack.org/openstack-ansible/latest/user/messaging/messaging.html#managing-rabbitmq-stream-policy tthose keep piling up until 500MB unless there is a retention policy on the rabbitmq side. TIL !

12:13:12 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: Is that what you were suggesting? ^
12:13:25 sean-k-mooney more or less yes
12:13:56 sean-k-mooney i have 3 or 4 other memory optimisation patches in flight to neturon and devstack too
12:14:05 sean-k-mooney to help out but that is a quick and easy win
12:15:43 sean-k-mooney if we disable it in the vars section i dont think we need to replciate that ot subnodes but it will fail if we do and we can add it
12:16:15 sean-k-mooney i think all the os-vif jobs are single node anyway

15:36:11 melwitt sean-k-mooney: ok nice, I will take a look

16:01:55 Uggla melwitt, dansmith if you can have a look at 987704: Fix resize to unpermitted flavors | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/987704, that should not take long
16:02:46 dansmith ?
16:08:20 melwitt Uggla: it looks like that is merged already?
16:09:40 Uggla melwitt, dansmith oops sory wrong CC here: I mean 988501: Do not log metadata proxy shared secret | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/988501
16:17:05 melwitt Uggla: ah ok, sure I will look
16:24:45 sean-k-mooney https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2150094 is a secuirty weakness more then a security vulnerablity
16:25:07 sean-k-mooney but we shoudl avoid logging it in general
16:26:30 sean-k-mooney im not sure that rotaion of the metadata_proxy_shared_secret is strictly require but it does not hurt
16:52:09 sean-k-mooney elodilles: mind addign a unit test for the log message just to assert the secret is not in it. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/988501
17:07:02 melwitt sean-k-mooney: thought you might find this interesting -- this is a bug that first appeared in downstream CI intermittently where I found the root cause ... but I figured it was probably too rare to prioritize. then it showed up again recently in a customer case so I proposed a fix for it https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/988547 you might be good to comment on it bc you know a lot about NFS
17:07:48 sean-k-mooney less then you might think and more then i ever wanted
17:07:59 sean-k-mooney but sure i can take a look
17:08:06 melwitt heheh
17:08:24 sean-k-mooney that sound liek a nfs lockign issue
17:09:22 sean-k-mooney melwitt: on enit. @mock.patch('os.open',
17:09:32 sean-k-mooney i belive we have mock open helper
17:09:42 sean-k-mooney because mocking builting like open is a littel od
17:09:47 sean-k-mooney it might be better to use that
17:10:05 sean-k-mooney ill read the rest but just somthign i notced initally
17:10:11 melwitt yeah in debugging the CI issue we put debug printing _everywhere_ in it and were able to confirm a false positive of the exists() call -- returned true when it was not there
17:10:22 melwitt oh gotcha
17:10:37 melwitt thanks, that sounds familiar. I'll go look for it
17:12:17 sean-k-mooney we might have got rid of our helper since mock not does if for you
17:12:26 sean-k-mooney we often do @mock.patch('builtins.open', new_callable=mock.mock_open())
17:12:36 sean-k-mooney but mocing os.open will probaly work
17:13:46 sean-k-mooney melwitt: i just know that used to be a bit flaky in older version fo python so im alwasy a litte carful of it failing in the gate if we dotn do that correctly
17:14:16 melwitt yeah, it's a good point
17:17:11 opendevreview Maximilian Stinsky proposed openstack/nova master: Remove experimental warning from UnifiedLimitsDriver https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/989102
17:17:34 sean-k-mooney melwitt: so the fix si to add O_CREAT|O_EXCL
17:17:55 sean-k-mooney to bypass the cache
17:19:49 melwitt that is the idea. I'm not aware if there could be any possible pitfall with that or rather if there is some way that it would not work
17:22:17 sean-k-mooney well the constrati woudl be if one of the open modes was not supproted by a given version of nfs or the kernel
17:22:29 sean-k-mooney i dont think you are usign anyting exotic in this patch
17:23:23 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: Reproduce bug/2152697 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/988769
17:23:34 sean-k-mooney we did have to do soem O_DIRECT check for a time but apprently that was added in kernel 2.4.10 so we may not need that anymore
17:24:08 sean-k-mooney O_EXCL Ensure that this call creates the file: if this flag is
17:24:10 sean-k-mooney specified in conjunction with O_CREAT, and path already
17:24:12 sean-k-mooney exists, then open() fails with the error EEXIST.
17:24:23 sean-k-mooney ok so that is the behvior we want for the probe
17:25:04 sean-k-mooney On NFS, O_EXCL is supported only when using NFSv3 or later
17:25:06 sean-k-mooney on kernel 2.6 or later.
17:25:17 sean-k-mooney ya i think we are good with those min versions in 2026
17:25:53 melwitt yeah from what I saw O_EXCL not exotic
