opendevreviewThibaut Démaret proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: add disk rotation_rate support for local disks  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/97969307:57
rmnijghHi! It came to my attention that nova live migrate also calls the periodic task update_available_resource() in the post_live_migration... 09:03
rmnijghHowever, this tasks can take a few minutes. And in those minutes the migration task is still seen as running, even though the migration is already finished.09:03
rmnijghIs this necessary to run at post_live_migrate? Since this task already runs periodically (I believe every 2 minutes by default)09:04
rmnijghNot having this function at post_live_migrate completes migration tasks significantly faster 09:05
rmnijghI've just found a bug report with the exact problem I am experiecing #2085709 :D09:49
opendevreviewribaudr proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Move Gazpacho implemented specs  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/97928310:10
opendevreviewsean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] perf: add ironic startup perf simulator and analysis  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98064110:37
opendevreviewsean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] perf(ironic): eliminate O(N²) ProviderTree deepcopy at startup (B6)  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98067610:37
opendevreviewsean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] perf(ironic): suppress redundant _refresh_cache calls during startup (B1)  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98067710:37
opendevreviewsean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] perf(ironic): background _error_out_interrupted during startup (B4)  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98067810:37
opendevreviewsean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] perf(compute): parallelise per-node update_available_resource loop (B2)  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98067910:37
opendevreviewsean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] docs: update startup.md with post-optimisation measurements  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98068010:37
sean-k-mooneyrmnijgh: it calls it because it was oen of the ways we heal the resouces asyncornsly,   it runs every 5 mintues by defualt. it used to be used to move pci device form claimed to allocated. although on newer release i belive we do that seperatly10:50
sean-k-mooneyi dont think that call shoudl be needed in antelop+ possibly a little eailer but10:51
sean-k-mooneywe have not exaimed if it can be remvoed again10:52
rmnijghI can confirm this bug report #2085709, we have a large kolla-ansible openstack cluster. And nodes with 50+ instances take ages to migrate (or even timeout), but also the regular periodic task update_available_resource takes ages. Can the reviews in this report perhaps get review priority? I think I'm able to make changes in these two commits when neccesary.11:05
opendevreviewLajos Katona proposed openstack/nova master: docs: Update libvirt version support matrix for 26.1 Gazpacho  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98070312:33

zigoBuilding Nova backport to Trixie leads me to these unit test failures:13:59
zigohttps://paste.opendev.org/show/bgO4WRXAvotrU1s66cx8/13:59
zigosean-k-mooney: Does some of them ring a bell?13:59
zigoAs much as I can see, I have 5 types of failures.14:04
nicolairuckelelodilles: Thanks for restarting the pipeline. The same test failed a few times already though so I'm wondering if that's a bigger issue with the CI. And when it doesn't fail, another (unrelated) test fails.14:07
elodillesnicolairuckel: i was having the same feeling - that something introduced a bug in tempest (?) - but then i saw a successful job run on stable/2025.2 branch, so it's either got fixed, or it's disappeared somehow o:) so i gave it another try now :)14:14
zigoThe aquire_lock thingy looks like probably comming from the fasterners version, I'm fixing that.14:19
* zigo rebuilds nova with fasterners 0.20 to see if the aquire_lock thing gets fixed.14:21
nicolairuckelFingers are crossed that it works now. :D14:26
elodillesnicolairuckel: grenade-skip-level passed already ( https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/337549cbec7f480a8f36bba5cd23f208 ) now only the others should do the same. fingers crossed, indeed ;)14:27
opendevreviewElod Illes proposed openstack/placement stable/2025.1: [CI][stable-only] Fix docs job  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/98076114:34
opendevreviewElod Illes proposed openstack/osc-placement stable/2024.2: [CI][stable-only] Workaround for missing pkg_resources  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/osc-placement/+/97969114:52
zigoOk, that fixed 10 unit tests, now only got the oslo.middleware api-paste.ini loading thingy to fix ... (plus one unit test that looks like non-deterministic).14:56
zigoThe healthcheck thing is probably due to my own patch.15:05
zigoYeah, all is passing now. :P15:11
zigoAny reason why oslo.policy was taken away from nova.conf namespace list when generating it?15:13
zigoIs this handled in nova.conf namespace?15:13
UgglaNova upstream meeting in ~40mn15:19
worteks-thidemHey, I try to propose a PR for rotatation rate in Libvirt, I know it is a old subject. But I have few applications use this informations to make a choice on specific scheduler. My PR is here : https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/979693. If somebody can review my code and explain me if I forget something. 15:32

s3rj1kHi, I would like to ask for review of https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/973924, this is mainly needed for Metal3 support and complementary PR is already proposed to Cloud-Init, I am hoping that Nova can consider merging this so cloud-init feature gets unblocked for merge 15:56

Uggla#topic Open discussion 16:19
UgglaWe have a couple of topic from r-taketn16:19
* Uggla giving the mic to r-taketn16:19
r-taketnyes, thanks16:19
r-taketn(r-taketn): SEV refactor series: I'd like to discuss the timing for restarting reviewing and merging the remaining patches.16:19
r-taketn#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-status#L4316:19
r-taketnRegarding these sev refactor series, most patches were skipped in the previous development cycle.16:20
r-taketnIs the target for restarting reviews During Nova Implementation Days of the next cycle (maybe, early July and late August)?Or, could they be reviewed and merged earlier?16:20
r-taketn My concern is the potential for conflicts between these patches and the implementation for the next proposed confidential computing features (SEV-SNP/Intel TDX)16:21
UgglaTo my mind there is no reason to wait. 16:21
UgglaAs soos as ready we can merge on 2026.216:21
Ugglaand yes it will be great because it is useful for SEV SNP and TDX16:22
UgglaI'll try to review them this week16:23
dansmith2026.2 is open for merging patches now right?16:24
dansmiththe stable branch was cut, AFAICT, so we should be good to go16:24
Uggladansmith yep16:25
Ugglar-taketn does it answer your question ?16:26
r-taketnYes. thanks. I understand that you can review these and there's no need to wait for review days. I'll wait for the review.16:26
r-taketnI'll move to the second topic.16:27
r-taketn(r-taketn): Update on Arm CCA software status16:27
r-taketnJust sharing an update on Arm CCA kernel development status.16:27
r-taketnDuring the previous PTG (https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-ptg#L716), the Arm CCA kernel merge was anticipated for Dec. 2025. 16:28
r-taketnHowever, it has not be merged and postponed by approximately one year..16:28
r-taketnSo, Arm CCA feature development in OpenStack might realistically begin within 2701(I release) or 2702(J release) cycle.16:28
r-taketnI'm sorry for a delay of this notification. 16:29
r-taketnAny questions or comments? If not, that' all from me.16:29
UgglaWhat about hw, do you have them now ?16:30
UgglaAnyway I'm not surprised that this feature takes time.16:31
r-taketnNo HW is available publicly in the market at this time. 16:32
Ugglar-taketn and you are still using simulator atm ?16:32
r-taketnYes. I'm testing and verifying CCA on the emulated env.16:34
Ugglaok r-taketn thanks for the info.16:34
UgglaIs there anything else people want to discuss?16:35
lajoskatonaone small thing for qemu libvirt versions:16:36
lajoskatonahttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/98070316:36
Ugglaoh yes, thanks lajoskatona16:37
lajoskatonaI suppose if merged it can be backported to 26.1 to have the good table in the doc (https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/libvirt-distro-support-matrix.html )16:37
Ugglayes I think so too16:38
UgglaAnything else ?16:39
