16:57:04 opendevreview Ghanshyam Maan proposed openstack/nova master: Task tracking mechanism for graceful shutdown https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/996299
16:58:25 gmaan dansmith: ^^ updated the doc string for fixture. for whitebox testing. i replied about the graceful shutdown job. I think that still make sure graceful shutdown works as an end-to-end scenario. Please check if we need to extend/modify those tests
17:01:02 dansmith ack
17:14:17 opendevreview Merged openstack/python-novaclient master: bindep: Remove stale marker https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-novaclient/+/999529
18:34:05 dansmith gmaan: what are you doing to test long-running tasks? I could do a migration and maybe try to slow it down, but do you have a better obvious thing to try/
18:36:14 gmaan dansmith: no other things, job start the migration and make sure SIGTERM signal is raised before migration is completed and make sure service does hot shutdown before migration is completed
18:37:00 dansmith okay.. maybe I can just put a sleep(300) in some action
18:40:14 gmaan yeah, that should work. make sure to change the graceful shutdown timeouts if you want shutdown to wait or timeout before action completed
18:40:35 gmaan devstack set graceful_shutdown_timeout to 5 sec for each service
18:40:54 gmaan manager_shutdown_timeout is 160 defaults
19:04:19 dansmith gmaan: yeah, so I put a long sleep at the beginning of stop_instance() and I see it doing the delay.. but when I SIGTERM compute I see "no in progress tasks" and it exits immediately
19:04:24 dansmith timeout is set to 180s
19:04:46 dansmith stop_instance should be waiting because it's not @skip'd right?
19:05:38 gmaan yeah, it should be. even both @skip'd or non @skip'd should be same in-progress tasks list
19:06:17 gmaan did you put sleep in manager stop_instance right? i mean manager picked up stop operation form RPC
19:06:56 dansmith correct
19:07:25 dansmith I will make the record_task_start log always to see if it's getting recorded
19:08:00 gmaan k
19:09:22 gmaan dansmith: wait, I think it is completed in rpcserver.wait() before manager log it, I am changing the order in this, can you pick this https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/996583/8
19:09:43 gmaan so it is more of missing logging and ^^ fixes that
19:10:11 dansmith okay but I just added logs and I never see it get recorded
19:11:51 dansmith gmaan: https://termbin.com/22tn I never see these
19:12:34 dansmith gmaan: I've been sitting too long so I gotta get up, but I'll keep poking at this a bit later
19:16:02 gmaan ok, it should record at the time RPC method is called. i also need to step out for a while. will check it after coming back

02:02:01 gmaan dansmith: i checked/tested it, it is same reason why you are not seeing in-progress task in log because of the order of RPC server wait and manager shutdown. rpcserver.wait -> manager.graceful_shutdown() this is log example https://pastebin.com/yj96YiRJ
02:03:56 gmaan and with https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/996583, the order is rpcserver.stop -> manager.graceful_shutdown() -> rpcserver.wait() . This is log example with this change and you can see the proper in-progress task logging https://pastebin.com/q0Mm9bNF
02:04:12 gmaan Aug 11 01:28:44 ubuntu-resolute nova-compute[289050]: INFO nova.manager [-] Graceful shutdown initiated with 1 in-progress tasks: stop_instance(instance=c4b95ab0-1098-45a9-b03e-7139e1ce5bfc, request_id=req-9746ce32-bcb0-4913-8861-b1499d6abfd6, elapsed=8.216098441998838)

02:07:07 gmaan dansmith: ^^ i added the exact logs checks in the tests
02:47:39 gmaan dansmith: This is a better example where I started 1 start, 2 stop instance operations. It logs all in-progress at start, logs as soon as any task is completed, and keeps logging overall progress every 10 sec; at the end, it summarizes the number of completed and failed tasks. https://pastebin.com/3fLsiMwG

13:43:15 dansmith gmaan: hmm, I'm not sure I understand, but let me apply that on top while I let the caffeine soak in and see if it helps
13:46:04 dansmith gmaan: nova-compute still exits immediately

14:58:56 gmaan dansmith: ohk, what is graceful_shutdown_timeout value
15:38:54 dansmith gmaan: 180
15:39:02 dansmith I gotta run soon, back later
15:57:27 gmaan then it should work. and i hope manager_shutdown_timeout is not set so default 160 applies
16:02:07 gmaan dansmith: just to make sure, 'nova-compute still exits immediately' you mean instance stay active right and stop instance is being interrupted by shutdown immediately and instance did not go to shutoff state
16:24:32 bryanfraschetti Hi folks, I hope you're doing well. Would someone be able to take a look at this patch series https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22improve_attachment_resiliance_against_timeout%22? It prevents situations where cinder and nova become out of sync due to volume attachment timeouts (launchpad.net/bugs/2141355) and adds a nova-manage command that could be used to remedy such situations

20:08:02 dansmith gmaan: correct..
20:11:00 gmaan dansmith: other thing to check is systemd timeout TimeoutStopSec, i think that is set as 300 sec in devstack but if that is less than that will stop service immediately
20:12:42 dansmith gmaan: I'm doing a manual kill, not using systemd
20:25:29 gmaan not sure why its not working, I tried with manual kill also and it works fine for me
20:26:00 gmaan can you please paste the log when stop is started and ended
20:28:53 dansmith gmaan: yeah, I'll do some debug myself, I've just had a bunch of other things going on here
20:29:03 gmaan k
21:50:29 dansmith gmaan: hmm, I dunno what was going on but my devstack VM OOMed and I had to restart it ... after that it all seems to be running properly
21:50:43 dansmith I dunno, must have been something not picking up the code changes I was making or something
21:51:17 dansmith however, while I was in graceful shutdown, I sent a stop command for a second instance and it looks like it was received/ignored by nova-compute which AFAIK means it won't be left on the rabbit queue
21:51:34 dansmith when I restarted, it indeed didn't seem to pick up the queued stop request
21:51:54 dansmith I was hoping we'd be able to close the connection so that rabbit would hold inbound requests like that for playback after the shutdown and restart but it appears not.. what is the expectation/
21:51:56 dansmith ?
21:55:53 cardoe Any chance https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/989002 can land?
22:18:38 gmaan dansmith: yes, it should have stayed in rabbit Q and picked up if compute is coming up again
22:19:33 gmaan compute main rpc server is stopped so it should not have picked by compute
22:19:38 gmaan let me try
22:24:51 gmaan dansmith: humm it worked for me. did you send 2nd stop immediately after service stop? I am wondering if rpcserver stop was racing with that
22:31:37 gmaan i stop instance1 then stopped service, waited for few sec and then stop on instance2. shutdown waited for instance1 stop to complete and then instance1 was in shutoff state and instance2 as active
22:32:58 gmaan when i started the service again (after 60 sec as i added sleep of 35 sec in stop_instance so want to make sure 2nd stop is not picked by compute), instance2 went to shutoff state
22:41:34 dansmith gmaan: but the message from nova-compute that it received and is ignoring it means that we received it (i.e. dequeued from rabbit, no?)
22:42:09 gmaan dansmith: yes, once received it is gone from rabiit q
22:43:15 gmaan but if 2nd stop was received by compute then it should have completed as we do wait on main RPC server so that already picked up things will be completed before shutdiown
22:43:26 dansmith Received method (60, 30) during closing channel 1. This method will be ignored
22:43:34 dansmith right^ ?
22:44:39 gmaan ignored but whom? compute
22:45:25 dansmith that's in the n-cpu log.. my point is, the fact that it's being even noticed by n-cpu means the message is being dequeued from rabbit right?
22:45:57 gmaan yes, it should be dequeued
22:46:10 dansmith I'm confused
22:47:03 dansmith After I started the shutdown and manager is waiting for tasks to complete (the first stop) I issued the second stop.. looks like to me after the first task is completed and we go to do the actual shutdown is when the above message is logged, right before we actually terminate
22:47:58 dansmith gmaan: https://paste.opendev.org/show/boU5DwvAGi3WLacQcn1r/
22:48:19 dansmith those first few lines show the end of waiting for the first stop, second stop was already sent at that point
22:49:06 dansmith then actual shutdown starts "graceful shutdown finished", then "Received method during closing channel" and then stopping RPC server, then again for some reason
22:49:15 dansmith but those were like a minute or two after I sent the second stop
22:49:24 gmaan can you paste a few more log above that. whn shutdown started
22:49:38 gmaan because that time we do stop main rpcserver where 2nd stop_instance should not be picked
22:50:28 dansmith it waited for minutes, so nore than a few lines but..
