14:01:23 <mriedem> #link agenda https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/Nova#Agenda_for_next_meeting
14:01:38 <mriedem> #topic release news
14:01:45 <mriedem> #link Stein release schedule: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/Stein_Release_Schedule
14:01:51 <mriedem> s-1 was last week
14:01:55 <mriedem> i don't think we did a release
14:02:01 <mriedem> because milestone projects don't need to do those anymore
14:02:05 <efried> o/
14:02:12 <mriedem> #link Stein runway etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-runways-stein
14:02:12 <johnthetubaguy> o/
14:02:16 <edleafe> \o
14:02:27 <mriedem> #link runway #1: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/reshape-provider-tree (bauzas/naichuan) [END: 2018-11-08]
14:02:38 <mriedem> https://review.openstack.org/599208 and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/521041
14:02:50 <mriedem> #link Part #2 of https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/use-nested-allocation-candidates (gibi) [END 2018-11-08]
14:03:12 <mriedem> gibi is preparing for the bw provider demo for the summit so ^ has stalled a bit,
14:03:19 <mriedem> i might update the bottom two patches there to keep things moving
14:03:32 <mriedem> #link runway #3 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/initial-allocation-ratios (yikun) [END 2018-11-09]
14:03:53 <mriedem> i think that might need to be updated since https://review.openstack.org/#/c/613126/ changed some of that logic
14:04:13 <mriedem> any questions about runways or the release schedule?
14:04:33 <mriedem> #topic bugs
14:04:43 <mriedem> nothing marked critical
14:05:05 <mriedem> #link 55 new untriaged bugs (up 5 since the last meeting): https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New
14:05:16 <mriedem> #link bug triage how-to: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/BugTriage#Tags
14:05:27 <mriedem> #link check queue gate status http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/index.html
14:05:30 <mriedem> gate status ^
14:05:38 <mriedem> we have a recentish gate failure in the functional tests
14:05:45 <mriedem> http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/index.html#1800472
14:06:18 <mriedem> it's a weird issue, but the tests are trying to boot servers into an anti/affinity policy that should fail to schedule with NoValidHost and the last server goes to ERROR,
14:06:31 <mriedem> but while waiting for that last server to go to ERROR, we get a 404 out of the API, which shouldn't happen
14:06:42 <mriedem> so we're losing something between the time the server is a build request and when it's in cell0
14:07:26 <mriedem> could be something with a timing window where the instance mapping isn't updated to cell0 yet, or we do'nt look in the right place, idk
14:07:33 <mriedem> debug would be helpful
14:07:41 <mriedem> 3rd party CI, i don't have any news
14:07:46 <mriedem> questions about bugs?
14:08:08 <mriedem> did everyone have an excellent halloween? lots of candy?!
14:08:12 <johnthetubaguy> ttsiouts: that might be worth a look, seems related to your rebuild from cell0 blueprint

14:10:06 <mriedem> #link rocky 18.0.3 release request: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/614575/
14:10:14 <mriedem> ^ has several upgrade-related fixes in it
14:10:33 <mriedem> there are also a lot of rocky backports with +2s that need another core

14:11:23 <efried> It turned out to be a busy, productive meeting.
14:11:28 <efried> gibi brought up the
14:11:28 <efried> #link last patch of the use-nested-allocation-candidates https://review.openstack.org/#/c/608298/
14:11:28 <efried> which may be controversial in its approach, so early reviews are encouraged.
14:11:34 <efried> Extraction:
14:11:34 <efried> #link Extraction etherpad https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/placement-extract-stein-4
14:11:34 <efried> The
14:11:34 <efried> #link call for upgrade deployment tooling volunteers http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-October/136075.html
14:11:34 <efried> had yielded no fruit as of the meeting, but has since seen responses, so yay.
14:11:42 <efried> Recognizing that it needed a new owner, we agreed to send out a
14:11:42 <efried> #link call for reshaper FFU volunteers http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-October/136110.html
14:11:42 <efried> which has seen a response, so yay. (Though it sounds like some initial encouragement/mentorship/guidance would not go amiss.)
14:11:52 <efried> db upgrade work proceeds apace via this nice tall
14:11:52 <efried> #link stack of alembic and related patches https://review.openstack.org/#/c/614307/
14:12:03 <efried> Discussed bug 1799727, agreed to make virt drivers the Source Of Truth for all inventory information, including allocation ratios and reserved values, even when they come from conf. We have since merged
14:12:03 <openstack> bug 1799727 in OpenStack Compute (nova) rocky "CPU_Allocation_Ratio from nova.conf doesn't update exisiting providers" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1799727 - Assigned to Matt Riedemann (mriedem)
14:12:03 <efried> #link setting allocation ratio and reserved amounts in update_provider_tree https://review.openstack.org/#/c/613126/
14:12:03 <efried> and
14:12:03 <efried> #link stop calling _normalize_inventory_from_cn_obj in the upt flow in the RT https://review.openstack.org/#/c/613991/
14:12:03 <efried> so yay.
14:12:12 <efried> Finally, bug 1799246 and its fix
14:12:12 <openstack> bug 1799246 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "module level init of db transation contexts cause failure under mod_wsgi on module reload" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1799246 - Assigned to sean mooney (sean-k-mooney)
14:12:12 <efried> #link harden wsgi https://review.openstack.org/#/c/610034/
14:12:12 <efried> were mentioned as needing a look. You know, for people who can spell wsgi.
14:12:18 <efried> END
14:12:56 <mriedem> fwiw, i think the FFU script thing might still be up for grabs if anyone wants it, kevin has 2 blueprints he has to get started as well
14:13:01 <mriedem> so i gently reminded him of priorities
14:13:06 <efried> heh
14:13:19 <mriedem> he's an eager beaver
14:13:20 <efried> But he's finished his downstream work
14:13:27 <efried> so all the time in the world now.
14:13:29 <mriedem> there is always downstream work
14:13:47 <mriedem> gmann: api news?
14:14:03 <gmann> mriedem: no office hour this week. i was out on wed.
14:14:06 <mriedem> ok
14:14:19 <mriedem> #topic stuck reviews
14:14:26 <mriedem> i don't see anything on the agenda
14:14:41 <mriedem> #topic open discussion
14:14:45 <mriedem> we have two items
14:14:46 <mriedem> first,
14:14:51 <mriedem> Further questions for the Image Encryption? (mhen)
14:14:55 <mriedem> Spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/608696/
14:15:00 <mriedem> mhen: go
14:15:06 <mhen> o7
14:15:29 <mhen> just put this up on the agenda in case anyone of you has further feedback to share on this topic
14:16:01 <mhen> we updated the spec according to the points that have been brought up
14:16:03 <mriedem> so you don't have anything specific?
14:16:18 <mriedem> if not, we'll leave it to the review
14:16:23 <mriedem> we have lots of specs :)
14:16:29 <mhen> that's fine
14:16:43 <mriedem> jackding added (at my request): Add I/O Semaphore to limit number of concurrent disk operations
14:16:48 <mriedem> #link bp: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/io-semaphore-for-concurrent-disk-ops
14:16:51 <mriedem> Review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/609180/
14:17:00 <mriedem> this is a specless blueprint which we talked about at the ptg,
14:17:05 <mriedem> and said it should be fine to do,
14:17:09 <mriedem> so this is mostly just paperwork
14:17:17 <mriedem> i put the ptg notes into the blueprint whiteboard already
14:17:39 <mriedem> i'm good with this, are there any objections?
14:18:06 <mriedem> ok i'll approve for stein then
14:18:30 <mriedem> for everyone going to the summit i guess i'll see you in about a week
14:18:44 <mriedem> that's it
14:18:45 <mriedem> thanks
