| rmnijgh | Hi! It came to my attention that nova live migrate also calls the periodic task update_available_resource() in the post_live_migration... | 09:03 |
| rmnijgh | However, 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 |
| rmnijgh | Is this necessary to run at post_live_migrate? Since this task already runs periodically (I believe every 2 minutes by default) | 09:04 |
| rmnijgh | Not having this function at post_live_migrate completes migration tasks significantly faster | 09:05 |
| rmnijgh | I've just found a bug report with the exact problem I am experiecing #2085709 :D | 09:49 |

| opendevreview | sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: [WIP] docs: update startup.md with post-optimisation measurements https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/980680 | 10:37 |
| sean-k-mooney | rmnijgh: 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 seperatly | 10:50 |
| sean-k-mooney | i dont think that call shoudl be needed in antelop+ possibly a little eailer but | 10:51 |
| sean-k-mooney | we have not exaimed if it can be remvoed again | 10:52 |
| rmnijgh | I 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 |

| zigo | https://paste.opendev.org/show/bgO4WRXAvotrU1s66cx8/ | 13:59 |
| zigo | sean-k-mooney: Does some of them ring a bell? | 13:59 |
| zigo | As much as I can see, I have 5 types of failures. | 14:04 |
| nicolairuckel | elodilles: 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 |
| elodilles | nicolairuckel: 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 |
| zigo | The 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 | |
| nicolairuckel | Fingers are crossed that it works now. :D | 14:26 |
| elodilles | nicolairuckel: 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 |

| zigo | Ok, 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 |
| zigo | The healthcheck thing is probably due to my own patch. | 15:05 |
| zigo | Yeah, all is passing now. :P | 15:11 |
| zigo | Any reason why oslo.policy was taken away from nova.conf namespace list when generating it? | 15:13 |
| zigo | Is this handled in nova.conf namespace? | 15:13 |

| Uggla | #topic Open discussion | 16:19 |
| Uggla | We have a couple of topic from r-taketn | 16:19 |
| * Uggla giving the mic to r-taketn | 16:19 | |
| r-taketn | yes, thanks | 16:19 |
| 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#L43 | 16:19 |
| r-taketn | Regarding these sev refactor series, most patches were skipped in the previous development cycle. | 16:20 |
| r-taketn | Is 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 |
| Uggla | To my mind there is no reason to wait. | 16:21 |
| Uggla | As soos as ready we can merge on 2026.2 | 16:21 |
| Uggla | and yes it will be great because it is useful for SEV SNP and TDX | 16:22 |
| Uggla | I'll try to review them this week | 16:23 |
| dansmith | 2026.2 is open for merging patches now right? | 16:24 |
| dansmith | the stable branch was cut, AFAICT, so we should be good to go | 16:24 |
| Uggla | dansmith yep | 16:25 |
| Uggla | r-taketn does it answer your question ? | 16:26 |
| r-taketn | Yes. 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-taketn | I'll move to the second topic. | 16:27 |
| r-taketn | (r-taketn): Update on Arm CCA software status | 16:27 |
| r-taketn | Just sharing an update on Arm CCA kernel development status. | 16:27 |
| r-taketn | During 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-taketn | However, it has not be merged and postponed by approximately one year.. | 16:28 |
| r-taketn | So, Arm CCA feature development in OpenStack might realistically begin within 2701(I release) or 2702(J release) cycle. | 16:28 |
| r-taketn | I'm sorry for a delay of this notification. | 16:29 |
| r-taketn | Any questions or comments? If not, that' all from me. | 16:29 |
| Uggla | What about hw, do you have them now ? | 16:30 |
| Uggla | Anyway I'm not surprised that this feature takes time. | 16:31 |
| r-taketn | No HW is available publicly in the market at this time. | 16:32 |
| Uggla | r-taketn and you are still using simulator atm ? | 16:32 |
| r-taketn | Yes. I'm testing and verifying CCA on the emulated env. | 16:34 |
| Uggla | ok r-taketn thanks for the info. | 16:34 |
| Uggla | Is there anything else people want to discuss? | 16:35 |
| lajoskatona | one small thing for qemu libvirt versions: | 16:36 |
| lajoskatona | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/980703 | 16:36 |
| Uggla | oh yes, thanks lajoskatona | 16:37 |
| lajoskatona | I 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 |
| Uggla | yes I think so too | 16:38 |
| Uggla | Anything else ? | 16:39 |
| Uggla | if not moving to latest topic | 16:40 |
| Uggla | #topic Bug scrubbing | 16:40 |
| Uggla | #info up to 206 (-6) | 16:40 |
| Uggla | #link: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-bug-triage-roster | 16:40 |
| Uggla | fyi, I have assigned a couple of new bugs to some people | 16:40 |
| Uggla | #link: https://truc.uggla.fr/ revisited to see the open bug trend. | 16:41 |
| Uggla | I managed to triage several of them last week, I will continue this week too. | 16:41 |
| Uggla | Does someone want to share about a specific bug ? | 16:42 |
| Uggla | seems not | 16:43 |
| Uggla | so time to close, thanks for joining this meeting. Have a nice day/evening and see you next week. | 16:43 |
