gaudenzI would like to restore two old changes in gerrit originally submitted by others, but I don't have the permission to do so. Can someone restore them for me or should I just submit them with a new change ID?08:11
gaudenzThis is about https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/196393 and https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/18447408:11
fricklergaudenz: I think it will be useful to discuss the topic first, maybe at a team meeting or at the PTG next week09:12
gaudenzfrickler: What's the best way to get this discussed? Should I add it to the PTG etherpad?09:36
fricklergaudenz: maybe wait for haleyb to chime in when they're around later10:22

haleybgaudenz: those are really old changes and related to a really old bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1365438 - and there were concerns raised about the overhead of running conntrackd.15:09
haleybcan you describe the use case?15:09
gaudenzhaleyb: The use case for conntrackd is basically HA failover of long lived TCP connections on a NAT router from an instance without a floating IP. This only works reliably if connection tracking states are synced to the standby router.15:24
gaudenzDepending on exact kernel tunables (eg. nf_conntrack_tcp_loose and nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal) it does not work at all otherwise or only works if the "inside" end of the connection sends a packet next. Packets from the outer side of the NAT will be rejected after a failover without connection tracking state synchronization.15:29
haleybgaudenz: does https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/618208 help at all? doing a big change like conntrackd would be something we'd need to discuss further and prioritize15:38

* haleyb wonders if he was disconnected all day or it's just very quiet19:55
gaudenzhaleyb: I think nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal can help in some cases. Not sure if it actually helps in the HA failover case. For conntrackd I'm willing on to work on this. I have an updated patch and fullstack test case ready for review. I don't think adding conntrackd will significantly increase the load on the hosts. Would be nice if we could discuss this at the PTG next week.21:05
haleybgaudenz: ok, thanks for the follow-up. if you put it in the etherpad I can schedule it to one of our sessions21:06

greatgatsby_Hi.  We've upgraded from yoga to zed in our kolla-ansible deployment.  New VMs don't seem to be picking up an IP, and the only thing I've found so far is the new ports being created don't have `os-vif-delegation: true` while our older/existing VMs do.  Not sure if this is the cause, or where to look for further troubleshooting.21:10
haleybgreatgatsby_: i don't think that flag would break anything, but I don't know much about it. you could try asking sean mooney in the nova channel since he would know more about the field21:24
haleybare there any other things in the logs that might give a clue? dhcp or ovs agent logs?21:25
haleyband i don't know much about kolla either :(21:25
greatgatsby_haleyb: thanks.  I did turn on debug logging and grepped for errors through all the logs when I spun up a VM, but nothing so far.  Thanks for the nova channel suggestion.22:09
