haleyb#link https://releases.openstack.org/flamingo/schedule.html13:02
haleybThis week is general library freeze, I have seen reviews out already13:02
haleybon that ^^ I did have a question on an os-ken change for eventlet13:04
haleyb#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-ken/+/93833713:04
elvirao/13:04
haleybit seems we should merge that for this cycle13:04
haleybof course i realize rodolfo is not here, or lajos13:05
ykarelrodolfo will be back next week13:07
rubasovlajos will be back Thursday13:07
haleybykarel: right, it's just that os-ken release has been proposed so it really should merge this week13:07
haleybrubasov: ack, i will wait and discuss with Lajos, thanks for the info13:08
ykareli see multiple +2s there, what it was waiting for?13:08
ykarelsince feb13:09
haleybykarel: really just based on rodolfo's comment - "I would wait a bit to merge this patch. This can always be selected via env var OSKEN_HUB_TYPE."13:09
haleybbut i think it's been "a bit"13:10
haleybykarel: i guess at worst we have to add an OSKEN_HUB_TYPE=eventlet to anything that gets broken13:11
ykarelyes can run some more jobs before landing if we want13:11
ykarelwill do update test patch for sanity https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/94150813:13
haleybykarel: ah, yes let's update that for a check, thanks for finding13:14
haleybok, back to announcements13:15
haleybso for library releases, neutron-lib will be next week, so please check any reviews you have there13:16
haleybalso, i will be out next Wed to Friday, so will not be around to approve anything, the release liaiason will have to do it (slaweq)13:17
haleybi will remind everyone at next weeks meeting13:17
haleybThe next OpenInfra PTG will take place October 27-31, 2025 and registration for the event is now open13:18

haleybi did propose myself for PTL (again) so you will be stuck with me for another 6 months13:19
bcafarelnoooo (</joking> of course)13:20
haleybit is easy to lead such a great team :)13:21
haleyband final announcement13:21
haleybReminder: If you have a topic for the drivers meeting on Friday, please add it to the wiki @ https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings/NeutronDrivers13:21
haleybwith the RH day this week i will cancel the meeting13:22
haleybthat was all the announcements i had, any others?13:22
haleybok, moving on13:23
haleyb#topic bugs13:23
haleybbcafarel was the deputy last week13:23
haleyb#link https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/3LE4LHA76MTTRCRZDPV6IRXRKAKTJ4YH/13:23
haleybthere was a fair amount of bugs13:24
haleybfirst one13:24
haleyb#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/212072313:24
opendevreviewyatin proposed openstack/neutron master: dnm: tests neutron master with osken native  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/94150813:24
haleyb[OVN] Metadata agent errors when returning gzip-encoded data13:24
haleybthis is a regression in 2025.1, and they were able to test with master and still broken13:25
haleybnot sure if anyone has seen something similar, we definitely changed the code last cycle and introduced the bug but it wasn't obvious how to fix13:27
haleybok, will ping rodolfo about that next week13:28
haleybthere were a number of medium bugs that all had patches proposed so we're good there :)13:29
haleybnext is regarding vpnaas13:30
haleyb#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/212031613:30
haleybDalmatian: Second IPsec site connection on same VPN service/router stays PENDING_CREATE; no agent-side rendering (works on Zed L3 agent)13:30
haleybthis was reported on ML as well13:31
haleybnot sure who can look at this, maybe Bodo?13:32
haleybi'll ping as well13:33
haleybthere were also two RFEs, i'm not sure if the first one is just a bug13:34
haleyb#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/212073213:34
haleyb[RFE] Add metadata caching for immutable values13:34
haleyb#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/957197 proposed13:34
haleybdo others think adding a cache to metadata is a bad idea? or have any opinions on it being an RFE?13:36
mlavalleat least, let's discuss it13:36
mlavalleI don't know yet if it is a good or bad idea13:37
ykarel+113:37
haleybyeah, it definitely helps the use case/bug where it's getting repeatedly queried13:38
mtomaska_yes I will have to read it in detail.... but doesnt nova already cache metadata? we (neutron) just retrieve it? .... i will have to look13:38
haleybmtomaska_: that's a good question, i don't know13:40
amorinhi! I vote +1 for metadata cache13:40
amorinIIRC we have a custom downstream patch regarding this13:40
mtomaska_i can look into it but not until next week...13:41
haleybthe only other place we use cache_method_results is in the policy code13:41
amorinit's definitely a good idea, I will talk about it internally see if one of the team member can share13:41
haleybamorin: ack, is it similar to https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/957197 ?13:41
mtomaska_What is this RFE going to solve? do we have some performance issues?13:41
haleybmtomaska_: it would solve the case where an instance is asking for static info, and reduce the neutron->nova api calls13:42
amorinhaleyb: will check13:42
amorinwe also have some sort of rate limiting, to force users slowing down13:42
haleybamorin: ack, thanks, and if you could leave a comment there or the bug would be great13:43
mtomaska_But how often does that happen? I thought it is just used when a VM is booting13:43
haleybmtomaska_: this is a poorly behaved set of VMs13:43
mtomaska_ACK13:43
haleybi'm trying to remember, do we have rate-limit settings for haproxy?13:44
haleybseems we do13:44
ykarelhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/198919913:44
haleybrate_limit_enabled13:44
mlavalleyes we do13:45
haleybi will ask if they've tried that13:45
mtomaska_+1 on rate limiting 13:46
amorinmtomaska_: in our situation, these are VM that are used by k8s, they heavily rely on metadata, and they were ddos-ing it13:47
mlavallehttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/85887913:47
haleybok, i think we have enough info there to make progress. we can move forward once we have a little more info, i'm not averse to caching but if the rate limit helps...13:48
amorinthanks mlavalle, this is the things we pushed :)13:48
mlavallehttps://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/admin/config-metadata-rate-limiting.html13:49
mlavalleamorin: yeap13:49
haleybamorin: great, and i'll keep an eye on things for comments on the caching proposal, thanks!13:49
mtomaska_amorin: reading your situation I wonder if you are going to be affected by this https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/955951 . just fyi13:50
amorinthanks, will check13:50
haleybthere was one other RFE from the same person13:50
haleyb#link https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/212074013:50
haleyb[RFE] Set additional search domains via DHCP13:51
haleybi did drop a comment there since we can add this via port-specific options, but only for OVN13:51
haleybit definitely needs more discussion will have to put on the RFE list13:52
haleybmlavalle: the proposed change did scare me regarding dns - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/95757313:52
haleybbut it could be we need a better way for such options on a subnet or network basis? instead of port-specific - something to think about if people look at the bug13:54
haleybany other bugs to discuss?13:54
haleyboh, and mtomaska_ is the deputy this week, elvira next week - is that good for both?13:55
mtomaska_ACK . bcafarel thanks for covering this week for me13:55
mtomaska_sorry last week :)13:55
bcafarelno problem, I hope you do not get a busy week this week :)13:55
haleyb+1 there13:56
haleyb#topic community goals13:56
elvirait's all good o/13:56
haleybwithout lajos or rodolfo here not sure there's any updates on community13:56
mlavalleprobably not13:57
haleyb#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928022 is still a WIP13:57
haleybok, we can move on then13:57
haleyb#topic on-demand13:57
haleybi see nothing on agenda, but the floor is open13:57
mlavallethanks for leading us another cyclw13:58
bcafarel+113:58
ykarel+113:59
haleybmlavalle: np13:59
haleybit's a good team of people so makes it easy :)13:59
haleybok, one minute left so will end, have a good week everyone!14:00

cardoeJust wanted to ping on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/955842 I know it waited on me a bit but once that goes in I'll do 2024.214:08
bcafarelcardoe: on it15:18
haleybbcafarel: can you take a look at these cherry-picks? i forgot i proposed so shouldn't approve  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/95681416:08
haleybthen we can finally release a stable/2024.116:09
fungihttps://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2025q3/018288.html looks like it could potentially impact a bunch of openstack users? i don't know enough about neutron's use of dnsmasq to know whether it could be impacted16:27
haleybi'm dissapointed they sent something like that to a public ML instead of the CVE route. I will have to say i have no comment at the moment16:44
tkajinamhttps://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2025q3/018289.html16:56
tkajinammaybe not according to this but it's too later to read network specs so I can be wrong16:56
