gibimelwitt: dansmith: sean-k-mooney: here is the result for a 13 measurement on the PCI device tpool proxy situation https://paste.openstack.org/show/bKHhndSgMIVJtRn1HQLe/09:18
gibiI see some runtime increase but the timing is pretty noisy09:19
gibihttps://www.pasteboard.co/w-LCl8LzsgIk.png09:19
gibithe minimum run times are increasing I would say09:23
MaxLamprecht[m]gibi: can you share the libvirt version you have running?09:36

gibiMaxLamprecht[m]: 10.0.0-2ubuntu8.1210:30
MaxLamprecht[m]The increase of the minimum run time sounds similar to my reported finding. I assume that if you are updating to libvirt > 10.5 this constant increase is gone.10:48
gibihm, interesting. That would suggest that the actual increase is due to libvirt and not due to nova itself11:01
gibiso if that is a theory then that suggests something accumlates on the libvirt side and a libvirt restart without a compute restart could clear it11:08
gibiMaxLamprecht[m]: do you have a link to the bug / bugfix in libvirt 10.5 that supposed to help?11:09
gibisorry I saw it in the bug11:10
gibithanks for adding it there11:10
gibiit seems we both wrote a comment to that bug around the same time11:10
gibihence I missed your comment11:10
gibiuntil now11:10
gibimeanwhile I tried what happens when libvirt is restarted in my env while keep the nova-compute running11:11
gibiindeed after the libvirt restart the timing of the _get_pci_passthrough_devices call is back to the value it was at the start of my measurement run11:12
MaxLamprecht[m]gibi: thx for testing :) I guess that confirms it 11:13
gibiI will try to pull in libvirt > 10.5 to see if that also proves it11:20
sean-k-mooneygibi: well libvir tdoes have a nodedevd which si listening to udev events and has a chache compoent11:20
MaxLamprecht[m]We observed this half a year ago and had massive freezes of nova-compute after having libvirt running for multiple days/months. I thought this is also related to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2091033. Thats also why I referenced it in my caching MR und mentioned the libvirt issue in the releasenote of it.11:20
sean-k-mooneyso maybe that was buggy in older version and degraged over tiem with repeated calls11:21
sean-k-mooneygibi: the system i have had up for almost 4 months is runing 11.3.0 for what it worth11:22
sean-k-mooneyand the perodic tiems were ~5seconds total11:22
sean-k-mooneysorry nova-compute as up  3 weeks 6 days ago and libvirt 2 months 13 days ago11:24
sean-k-mooneyso with newer libvirt maybe it does not happen11:25
sean-k-mooneywitht that said Memory: 14.1G (peak: 28.6G) for libvirtd seams... high11:25

sean-k-mooneyi guess that actully ok11:38
sean-k-mooneythat only 22MB of shared memory not 22G11:38
sean-k-mooneygibi: can you check https://paste.opendev.org/show/bnD6HOACPqVczxGCqYBi/ with your libvirts pid if you have not already replaced it11:39
sean-k-mooneyi wonder if your seeing high memory usage form it or not11:39
gibiApr 08 11:06:56 aio systemd[1]: libvirtd.service: Consumed 12min 42.721s CPU time, 1.7G memory peak, 24.0K memory swap peak.11:40
gibithis was the libvirt restart after more than 13 hours of usage11:41
gibiafter 40 minutes passed since and the now it is on 11:42
gibi     Memory: 205.9M (peak: 206.7M)11:42
gibisame libvirt version still11:42
sean-k-mooneyack, i was conderd because this is what min shows https://paste.opendev.org/show/bxt9j6Mtzs4Is99u9nbv/11:44
sean-k-mooneyi guess it might be countign all the shile thread/processes11:46
sean-k-mooneyhttps://paste.opendev.org/show/bEi3uoHoWJ7JNjcYXSA7/11:46
sean-k-mooneybug given free tell me im using 16G total i dont think 14 of that is used by libvirt so im unsure how much we can really trust that systemd is reprotign in this case11:48
sean-k-mooneythat proably not relvent to this issue however11:48
sean-k-mooneyUggla: would tuesday 13:00 utc work for you for the nova/cyborg cross project time?12:52
sean-k-mooneyits the hour before the nova sessiosn start and we coudl have it in the cyborg room12:52
sean-k-mooneythat means we can wrap the cyborg session in the following hour when nova is startign up and i can then proably join the nova room for the rest of the day12:53
sean-k-mooneysince watcher is not starting its ptg until wednesday12:53
sean-k-mooneyfor wednesday and thrusday i do not have a conflict with wathcer/nova on the last hour of the windows as wather is tartign and fisniing 1 hour early then nova each day12:55
sean-k-mooneyso that would be the other option unless you prefered monday?12:55
