whoami-rajat#link https://pypi.org/project/os-brick/6.4.0/14:06
whoami-rajatlast week was non-client library release14:06
whoami-rajatso os-brick was part of that release cycle14:07
whoami-rajatthe patch was merged on monday but proposed last week so technically we were on time14:07
whoami-rajatanyway, os-brick is released with it's latest version 6.4.014:07
whoami-rajatfinally we have some upcoming deadlines14:08
whoami-rajatBobcat-3 milestone (feature freeze): August 31st (R-5 week)14:08
whoami-rajatRC1 deadline: September 14th (R-3 week)14:08
whoami-rajatFinal RC deadline: September 28th (R-1 week)14:08
whoami-rajatFinal 2023.2 Bobcat release: October 4th, 202314:08
whoami-rajatWe are going to discuss the feature freeze as a topic14:08
whoami-rajatthat were all the announcements, I couldn't find any other thing of interest on the mailing list14:08
whoami-rajatbut i remember we had a gate issue with tox that rosmaita was referring to14:09
whoami-rajatwhich seems to be fixed now, but if you would like to highlight it? rosmaita 14:09
rosmaitathere was an issue with a dependency of tox, got fixed by a new release of that dependency and a new release of tox14:09
rosmaitaso 4.11.0 should be good14:09
whoami-rajatthanks!14:10
whoami-rajatso if you see any gate failures due to tox, you can recheck and it should be good14:10
whoami-rajatalso I'm working on the mid cycle summary, it should be up today or tomorrow, I will update on the mailing list14:12
whoami-rajatand a reminder that if you haven't registered for the virtual PTG in October, here is the link14:14
whoami-rajat#link https://openinfra.dev/ptg/14:14
whoami-rajatthat's all for the announcements14:15
whoami-rajatanyone has anything else?14:15
whoami-rajatfor the announcements i mean14:15
whoami-rajatok, let's move to topics14:17
whoami-rajat#topic Feature Discussion14:17
whoami-rajat#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-2023.2-bobcat-features14:17
whoami-rajatit would have been easier in the video meeting that was planned for today but since we met last week for midcycle, I thought of skipping this week's video meeting14:18
whoami-rajatanyway, let's get started with discussing the features one by one14:18
whoami-rajatfirst, Add the os-extend_volume_completion volume action14:18
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/87355714:18
whoami-rajatThe reason I've held reviews on this is that cinder calls Nova to extend the volume (in case of FS drivers)14:19
whoami-rajatlast time i checked this morning, nova side changes haven't merged yet14:19
whoami-rajatso I'm skeptical of merging the cinder changes since the extend operation might start failing14:19
whoami-rajatis the author of this feature around?14:19
whoami-rajati think he just disconnected ...14:20
whoami-rajathere is the nova patch14:21
whoami-rajat#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/87356014:21
kgubesorry, i disconnected just at the wrong moment14:22
whoami-rajatkgube, no worries14:22
whoami-rajatkgube, I was pointing out the dependency on nova for this feature which is still not merged14:22
kgubeso the nova change is actually dependent on the first cinder change14:22
kgubethe cinder change is multi-part14:23
kgubethe first one just adds the new volume action14:23
kgubethen there is the nova change that depends on that14:24
kgubeand then there is the second cinder change that relies on the new behavior of nova: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/87356014:24
kgubethis is reflected in the gerrit dependencies14:25
kgubeand Nova actually held back reviews because the first cinder change was still open :/14:26
whoami-rajatok, thanks for clarifying that14:28
kgubeSo I guess I should have tried to communicate this more clearly14:28
whoami-rajatkgube, another question is, if we merge the first change, will it impact the current workflow we have? I haven't gone through the code yet so not sure if it's making any functional changes in the extend workflow14:28
kgubeIt won't impact the current workflow, as far as I can tell14:30
kgubebut it adds dead code for now14:31
whoami-rajatok, a related question is, how flexible is nova on granting an FFE for the nova changes?14:31
whoami-rajatlooks like there is only one change from nova side14:31
kgubeI don't think it's a priority feature for them14:32
whoami-rajathmm, we could grant an FFE but it would be useless until nova is also willing to do the same14:33
whoami-rajatwe will be just adding a microversion and an API call that is never made14:34
kgubethey told me last week that either the dependencies needs to merged asap, or they aren't going to allocate review time to it14:34
whoami-rajatok, i wasn't aware but last week's midcycle was a good place for this discussion14:34
kgubeYeah, I couldn't make it, unfortunately14:35
whoami-rajatnot denying the fact that we lack review bandwidth and that also needs to be addressed, but that's a separate topic for now14:35
whoami-rajatat this moment, even if we merge the first cinder change (given it doesn't require changes to be made), we need commitment from nova that they will merge their side of changes in this cycle14:36
whoami-rajatthat's my thought on it at least14:36
whoami-rajatwould like to see if the team has other comments on it14:37
rosmaitai think we need at least one +2 on the patch before nova will take it seriously14:38
whoami-rajatI can commit on reviewing it, since mostly it's just adding a new action14:42
whoami-rajatif bauzas is around, he can provide us the nova team's thought on the feature14:43
* bauzas scrolling up14:43
whoami-rajatbauzas, thanks for joining, i will summarize the discussion14:44
bauzaswell, we haven't defined any FFE period14:44
bauzasand we don't plan it14:44
whoami-rajatwe're discussion about the feature https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/87356014:44
bauzasthe nova consensus is more about letting the feature to be merged in Cinder ideally during the Bobcat release so we can merge it quickly on Caracal on our side14:45
whoami-rajathmm, the problem i see is that will introduce a new microversion on the cinder side in the bobcat release that is unused ...14:46
whoami-rajatmaybe it's not a big issue, but i would avoid having that in our cycle highlights14:46
whoami-rajatkgube, if the feature is going to be used in Caracal by nova, would you mind if the cinder changes are also part of the same cycle?14:48
kgubewhoami-rajat, I mean, its not ike we can use the feature, when only half of it is merged14:49
kgubeso, no, I guess not14:49
kgubebut It would be nice if we can avoid keeping it to the last minute, next cycle14:50
bauzasthanks kgube14:50
whoami-rajatsure14:50
whoami-rajatso I will plan on getting this reviewed and merged by milestone-1 of Caracal14:50
bauzaskgube: will you be able to repropose the feature as soon as I'm opening the dev cycle on Caracal ?14:50
bauzasthis won't be long, a matter of 2.5 weeks14:50
kgubebauzas: sure!14:51
bauzasmaybe you don't know, but Caracal feature development cycle opens as soon as we deliver Bobcat RC114:51
whoami-rajatthanks bauzas and kgube for the discussion14:51
whoami-rajatah, that's good to know14:52
bauzashttps://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/schedule.html#rc1-target-week14:52
bauzaswhich is planned Sep 11th14:52
bauzasafter that, I'll shortly create the specs directory for caracal and the blueprint release tag name14:52
whoami-rajatack, I will carry out the similar work for cinder14:53
whoami-rajatwould be good if kgube can provide some reminders if we miss out on anything :)14:53
kgubewhoami-rajat, I will try to be less shy about it :)14:53
whoami-rajatthanks again14:54
bauzaskgube: thanks and yeah, don't feel you offense ourselves14:54
whoami-rajatthanks for your time bauzas , really appreciate it14:54
bauzaswe just have a reasonable amount of different priorities and somehow communication helps sorting them14:54
whoami-rajat++14:55
whoami-rajatso i would quickly like to go through some of the other features14:56
whoami-rajatFujitsu Driver: Add QoS support14:56

whoami-rajatbut we require another reviewer to take a look at this14:56
inori1Here I am. Previously, rajat provided some comments on it, and I have addressed those comments and passed both Zuul and our CI tests.14:57

inori1Thank you. whoami-rajat14:58
whoami-rajatno problem14:58
msaravanyes, the main patch got +2, and one of the dependent patch has zull failure and its not related. I re-triggered it now. It'll go through. 14:59
