jbernardhello everyone14:07
jbernard#topics annoucements14:08
jbernardwe're doing a final review gathering on friday14:08
jbernardwe've been reviewing as much as possible, but there are still a lot of patches that need attention14:08
jbernardrosmaita: stable updates?14:08
rosmaitayeah14:09
rosmaitawe have new stable/2026.1 branches for os-brick, cinderclient, and the brick-cinderclient-extension14:09
rosmaitacinder stable gates are borked14:09
rosmaitabut, i think we have a solution14:10
rosmaitahttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97823814:10
rosmaitathat's for flamingo, will need to be backported to epoxy, and i think dalmatian (need to check)14:10
rosmaitai guess that's it14:11
erlonbtw, thanks jbernard and rosmaita for the help with the os-brick patch. Really appreciated your effort to get the iSCSI patch in14:11
rosmaitanp, sure hope it doesn't break anything :P14:12
erlon:O, fingers crossed14:12
opendevreviewNimesh Desai proposed openstack/cinder master: [IBM SVf Driver] Define meaningful names for error constants  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/95968314:12
agalica_Yeah, thank you guys for your help with our patches as well.14:14
jbernardsince we're here, quick update on upcoming PTG14:15
jbernardit's late April, 20 - 2414:15
nimeshdesaiopendevreview: That patch got merge conflicts due to merge of some other patch. I'll be resolving it and uploading again. Will require +2s.14:15
jbernardthe release name is 'Hibiscus'14:15
jbernardand our working etherpad is https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-hibiscus-ptg14:16
jbernardfeel free to add topics and details as you wish, ill construct an agenda from those notes and fill gaps with review time14:17
agalica_Guessing those dates are just copy/paste for now14:17
jayaanandi need core attention for this patch https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/976335 14:17
jbernardagalica_: yes14:17
jbernardit's that week, but not necessarily all of those days, we typically skip monday, mondays suck14:18
agalica_Mondays do suck14:19
jbernardrosmaita: i haven't looked yet, how is the stable gate? did you squash the problematic commits?14:19
jungleboyjLol.  Indeed.14:19
rosmaitajbernard: yes, that patch is in the gate now14:19
jbernardawesome14:19
rosmaitaapproved about 40 minutes ago, so we're probably looking at 2.5 more hours14:20
jbernardkk14:20
Anoop_ShuklaWe have multiple patches from NetApp pending for first reviews. Our concern is a lot of these features are being awaited by customers on our side. Wanted to understand how to address these reviews.14:20
rosmaitawhat's your CI situation?14:20
jbernardre netapp patches, what is the CI status? ive looked a few of them and i see it's not passing14:20
Anoop_ShuklaNetApp CI has some issues currently (which seems temporary) and we are trying to address it ASAP.14:22
jbernardk, let us know when that's resolved14:22
harshHi.. two of our patches have multiple +2s. Waiting for the workflow +1 so that they can be merged: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/916722/91 and https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/929906/6214:24
sanketh_shettyRequesting one more +2 for - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/973908. Very small change.14:24
jbernardharsh: i looked at at least one of those earlier, you need to stop making changes once it's been approved, a new change removes the +W14:25
jbernardharsh: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/929906 for example14:25
jbernardharsh: it's been approved 5 times14:25
jbernardbut a rebase clobbers the +W on each attempt14:26
harshouh. yea there were some rebasing going on on some related patches. sorry about that. We have asked the team to stop the rebasing for a while. 14:26
jbernardwhich costs time and could be frustrating14:26
harshCould you please approve them once again .. sorry for the multiple rebasing.. 14:26
jbernarddoes "for a while" mean that the patches are not truely ready for review?14:26
jbernardthe continous updates could be interpreted that way, potentially14:27
harshthese ones are ready. there are some newer patches that we submitted and are still in review.14:27
hong-p[m]jbernard: hi I requested some bug fix could you review this? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/96190614:28
jbernardok, i will try to circle back today, raise them in friday's meeting if not14:28
harshbut since all these features are dependent on each other and if anyone from the team rebases one of the new patch, the whole chain looses the +W14:28
jbernardyeah, i understand the dilema, ideally things should settle at some point14:29
harshi totally agree. and trust me we are working towards it. These older patches have been ready for a while now. but the newer ones are getting customer reviews as well. Hence the multiple rebasing. Team is building some process to drastically reduce the rebasing which will save your and our time as well.14:31
jbernardhong-p[m]: ack, noted for our friday meeting (https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-festival-of-reviews#L23) unless we get to it sooner14:31
hong-p[m]thank you!14:31
jbernardharsh: ok, will take a look at the ones you've mentioned, remind us friday if no movement14:32
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: your patch is on the list too14:32
Anoop_Shukla@jbernard: while we are trying to fix our CI - can we not get exceptions for the patches where NetApp CI has failed? At least can we have the review process start on these patches becuase for us to address the comment will anyway be a cyclic review process14:32
opendevreviewMerged openstack/cinder stable/2025.2: [stable-only] pep8, unit tests, doc fixes  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97823814:32
harshthankyou ! appreciate your patience :)14:32
rosmaitaAnoop_Shukla: the problem is that as you can see, everyone needs reviews, so the priority is to review the driver patches with green third party CI, because those can merge14:34
rosmaitaso even though theoretically, your patches could be reviewed14:34
rosmaitaas a practical matter, they get back-burnered until the CI shows that they are working14:35
noonedeadpunkjbernard: isn't we're past feature freeze?14:35
rosmaitaor at least not causing regressions14:35
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: technically, but we will evaluate a ff exception14:35
noonedeadpunk++ gotcha, would be much appreciated14:36
kaisersrosmaita: regarding gate checks, do we need to rebase changes on stable/2025.2 in order to profit from the change that just merged (see above, pep8...) or can we simply recheck?14:36
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: if you're available for friday's review meeting, i added an agenda item (https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-festival-of-reviews#L25) 14:37
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: if questions come up, having you there synchronously will be most efficient14:37
rosmaitakaisers: not entirely sure, i think for the gate you may be ok, but for the initial check you may need a rebase14:37
kaisersrosmaita: k, thnx14:37
hong-p[m]And I also requested a patch for python-openstackclient about cinder. Is this the right place to discuss here too? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-openstackclient/+/97334914:38
rosmaitahong-p[m]: sure14:38
noonedeadpunkyes, I will be around, but but potentially not following all discussions.14:38
noonedeadpunkbut a ping would work for sure to bring my attention :)14:39
nimeshdesaiPlugin Register has also received +2 and =1 for workflow. it would be good if this gets another +2 and gets merged - [IBM SVf driver] Adding support for CINDER plugin registration | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/95182914:39
jbernardhong-p[m], rosmaita: clients have already released, or are at least frozen for .1, i believe14:39
nimeshdesaiin fact, Plugin Register has 2 +2s.14:39
jbernardnimeshdesai: and +W, im not immediately sure why that didn't go in, maybe need to nudge it, will look today14:41
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: sounds good14:42
rosmaitajbernard: maybe just +2A it again, i'm surprised the workflow didn't clear when the patch got stopped on feb 1914:42
hong-p[m]Got it, thanks for letting me know. I’d appreciate your feedback whenever possible.14:43
jbernardnimeshdesai, rosmaita: i re-voted, im hoping that will get things moving14:43
rosmaitalooks like it got picked up: https://zuul.openstack.org/status?change=95182914:44
harshawesome ! :)14:46
agalica_Now to cross your fingers and pray for a successful Zuul lottery, haha14:46
harsh:D14:46
jbernardok, that's all from me14:46
jbernard#topic open discussion14:47
Jyotsnawe have hot customer fix in review https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/976596 from HPE requires immediate attention. Both CI and zuul passed till 24th Feb.14:47
JyotsnaWe are looking for +2 to get it merged, as we are approaching the deadline for bugs, request reviewers to look into this patch. 14:48
Jyotsnaeharney and jbernard can you please help us with reviews14:50
eharneyyes this one is on my list to get back to14:51
jbernardi think eharney has that on his list14:51
Jyotsnawe also had new driver for review https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/969373 which was in review, at last moment due to our backend library was not open source it was not approved 14:52
Jyotsnanow that we have the library open source and internally approved by HPE can we have a chance of exception for new driver merge ?14:53
jbernardthat patch is not ready14:55
jbernardat least, it references a package in driver-requirements but it doesn't exist currently https://pypi.org/project/hpe-storage-flowkit/14:55
Jyotsnadue to the opensource comment we had moved to DNM state, but in case we have chance we can open for review 14:56
jbernardit's very unlikely at this stage, there remains far more to do than we have bandwidth for14:56
Jyotsnawe just got approval for hpe-storage-flowkit repo to be opensource and yet to create pypi 14:56
Jyotsnaok thanks for all reviewers patience 14:57
Jyotsnahttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/976596 we will await for any further feedback or +2 14:58
jbernardsounds good, that one should receive some feedback soon14:58
Jyotsnasure thanks 14:59
jbernardok, last call15:00
raghavendratthanks15:00
