| 11:34:13 | gibi | thanks | |
| 12:25:52 | opendevreview | Merged openstack/nova master: Replace deprecated remotable_classmethod https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/995370 | |
| 12:41:11 | opendevreview | Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/nova master: ovo: Drop deprecated item_cls argument https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1002937 | |
| 13:39:55 | clif | sean-k-mooney: is there anything I can do to help that perf patch merge? | |
| 14:11:59 | sean-k-mooney | did it fail after the rebase? im on pto today so not really paying attaentio, gibi is lookign at some stablity impovment | |
| 14:12:17 | sean-k-mooney | i think you just geting unlucky with the test failures | |
| 14:12:48 | sean-k-mooney | the db locked error is oen of the knwo issues withthe func tests under threading mode currently | |
| 14:13:07 | sean-k-mooney | and it was in an entirly differnt area of the code so not related to that patch | |
| 14:40:54 | clif | gotcha | |
| 14:41:05 | clif | sorry to ping you on your day off, enjoy | |
| 14:41:34 | sean-k-mooney | its fien i would not be on irc if it bothered me | |

| 16:02:56 | Uggla | Hello everyone | |

| 16:03:02 | gmaan | o/ | |
| 16:03:42 | elodilles | o/ | |
| 16:04:37 | lajoskatona | o/ | |
| 16:05:14 | Uggla | Let's start | |
| 16:05:22 | Uggla | #topic Bugs (stuck/critical) | |
| 16:05:32 | Uggla | #info No Critical bug | |
| 16:05:43 | Uggla | #topic Gate status | |
| 16:05:46 | tkajinam | o/ | |
| 16:05:52 | Uggla | #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=gate-failure Nova gate bugs | |
| 16:06:01 | Uggla | #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-ci-failures-minimal | |
| 16:06:12 | Uggla | #link https://zuul.openstack.org/builds?project=openstack%2Fnova&project=openstack%2Fplacement&branch=stable%2F*&branch=master&pipeline=periodic-weekly&skip=0 Nova&Placement periodic jobs status | |
| 16:06:23 | Uggla | #info Please look at the gate failures and file a bug report with the gate-failure tag. | |
| 16:06:32 | Uggla | #info Please try to provide a meaningful comment when you recheck | |
| 16:06:33 | gmaan | we ,merged a lot of fixes last week, I will remove the bugs from that etherpad one we alrady fixed | |
| 16:07:13 | Uggla | #info last week we had gate instability. Any progress? | |
| 16:07:54 | Uggla | gmaan 👍 | |
| 16:08:00 | tkajinam | I found a few strange errors this evening like dead workers or zombie process causing job failure, but I'm not sure if that appears consistently | |
| 16:08:11 | gmaan | we merged almost all the fixes up for the frequent bugs happening but I dod not check today how gate is behaving | |
| 16:08:12 | tkajinam | (these are not specific to nova but look like infra problems | |
| 16:08:23 | gmaan | seems like, no change in CI pipeline | |
| 16:09:03 | tkajinam | gmaan, https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/1002223 is the one which is supposed to fix unstable threading job, right ? | |
| 16:09:05 | gmaan | tkajinam: ack, if you see them agian, please log the bug and we can check that if it happens more frequently | |
| 16:09:29 | gmaan | tkajinam: yes, this is one of that. but there were 5-6 totals | |
| 16:09:35 | tkajinam | gmaan, yeah or I'll report it to infra team, because that's a infra problem rather than a nova bug I believe. | |
| 16:09:38 | tkajinam | ok. good | |
| 16:09:43 | gmaan | cool, thanks | |
| 16:09:52 | tkajinam | will be careful about threading unit tests this week | |
| 16:10:53 | Uggla | I think we can move on | |
| 16:11:12 | Uggla | #topic Release Planning | |
| 16:11:18 | Uggla | #link https://releases.openstack.org/hibiscus/schedule.html | |
| 16:11:20 | tkajinam | yup | |
| 16:11:29 | Uggla | #info Nova deadlines are set in the above schedule | |
| 16:11:37 | Uggla | #info Feature freeze was last week. | |
| 16:12:09 | Uggla | #topic Review priorities | |
| 16:12:22 | Uggla | #info Starting: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.2-status#L16 interesting bugs to review. | |
| 16:13:32 | Uggla | virtiofs cold migration needs focus too. I focused on testing it last week. | |
| 16:14:08 | Uggla | #topic Stable Branches | |
| 16:14:25 | elodilles | thx | |
| 16:14:29 | elodilles | #info stable gates should be OK | |
| 16:14:51 | elodilles | though there were not so many patches against stable branches in the past week o:) | |
| 16:15:13 | elodilles | anyway, if you see any stable gate issue, then please ping and/or: | |
| 16:15:16 | elodilles | #info stable branch status / gate failures tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-stable-branch-ci | |
| 16:15:22 | elodilles | add here ^^^ | |
| 16:17:06 | Uggla | thx elodilles | |
| 16:17:40 | Uggla | skipping vmware topic fwiesel is still on PTO I guess | |
| 16:18:39 | Uggla | #topic Kamil's news about eventlet removal | |
| 16:19:09 | Uggla | sambork is not available today. But he left this info about eventlet: btw only update regarding eventlet is perf testing, so we're done there.Scaling down to 9 scheduler/conductor pods gave native threading a lower, peak-free, steady-state memory footprint (still marginally above eventlet), while CPU usage and timing stayed on par with eventlet | |
| 16:19:10 | Uggla | and occasionally beat it thanks to native low-level thread scheduling. Setting executor_thread_pool_size to 32 for both the scheduler and conductor kept the queue depth at ~1, making those two the only default config changes required | |
| 16:19:38 | gibi | + Last week we worked on stabilizing the functional-py313-threading job | |
| 16:20:17 | Uggla | oh gibi, I thought you were not part of the meeting. My bad. | |
| 16:20:35 | tkajinam | I like hearing such "the new model works better than the old model" news :-) | |
| 16:20:51 | gibi | I think we eventually need to reopen https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2165149 as it might still happne | |
| 16:21:03 | gibi | also I saw TIMED_OUTs from this job | |
| 16:21:08 | gibi | that needs to be investiaget | |
| 16:21:11 | gibi | investigated | |
| 16:21:31 | Uggla | tkajinam ++ | |
| 16:21:31 | tkajinam | gibi, is that what you discussed with sean today ? | |
| 16:22:17 | gibi | yepp | |
| 16:22:27 | gibi | or mostly we discussed the DB locked issue | |
| 16:22:32 | gibi | not the TIMED_OUT one | |
| 16:22:37 | tkajinam | ok | |
| 16:22:46 | gibi | I have some local work on the former | |
| 16:22:59 | gibi | but it is hard to reproduce the problem lcoally | |
| 16:23:02 | gibi | locally | |
| 16:24:36 | Uggla | anything else ? | |
| 16:25:11 | Uggla | #topic Confidential computing, status of SNP and TDX features | |
| 16:25:32 | Uggla | Not sure there are new stuffs on that topic. | |
| 16:25:54 | antia | one question regarding TDX | |
| 16:26:01 | antia | Should I make a patch for Glance? | |
| 16:26:18 | tkajinam | antia, oh yes we have to update metadef | |
| 16:26:32 | tkajinam | antia, I think you can find my change to add sev-snp and follow it | |
| 16:26:48 | tkajinam | or I can do that if you want | |
| 16:26:59 | antia | I can fix it after this | |
| 16:27:03 | tkajinam | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/glance/+/995179 | |
| 16:27:19 | antia | great! | |
| 16:27:33 | tkajinam | you don't have to care a new release note file but modify the file added by that change | |
| 16:28:12 | tkajinam | no news about sev-snp either. these features are in master so please try these and give your feedback :-) | |
| 16:30:35 | Uggla | ok can we move on ? | |
| 16:31:05 | Uggla | #topic Nova using openstack sdk for neutron | |
| 16:31:18 | Uggla | lajoskatona something you'd like to sharE ? | |
| 16:31:30 | lajoskatona | small things: SDK release is out | |
| 16:31:49 | lajoskatona | so I can update the patch series to have fields=[....] like filtering with SDK also | |
