Does it need more functional tests there? 14:09:54 cinder should fail on that request 14:10:10 and it does!!! problem solved!!! 14:10:15 if the client asks for all_tenants info and it doesn't have access, it should fail 14:10:36 imo 14:10:40 geguileo: yeah but client doesn't know if the user is admin or not, we fixed similar issues before for revert to snapshot and transfer show by name 14:11:01 whoami-rajat: I hope I didn't review those patches, because I think the approach is wrong 14:11:11 we should not be passing client problems into the REST API 14:11:19 it's a relatively new bug, so let's discuss at the bug squad meeting 14:11:20 geguileo: i think you provided the fix for revert to snapshot 14:11:28 #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1917574 14:11:38 enriquetaso: Error: Could not gather data from Launchpad for bug #1917574 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1917574). The error has been logged 14:11:38 * geguileo dies inside 14:12:03 rosmaita: +1 14:12:09 +1 14:12:10 ok, whoami-rajat brings up a good point about how we will be determining release-critical bugs 14:13:17 i guess i should continue that thought 14:14:34 i guess an etherpad? 14:14:55 +1 for etherpad 14:15:05 +1 14:15:07 i am very inarticulate this morning 14:15:12 ok, etherpad it is 14:15:35 #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-wallaby-release-critical-bug-nominations 14:16:12 so, if you are working on something you think may be release critical, add it ^^ and i will decide & raise priority accordingly 14:16:33 reviewers, you can work from the dashboard 14:16:35 #link http://tiny.cc/CinderPriorities 14:18:14 ok, announcements continued 14:18:30 next week is last week of the month, so time for a video meeting 14:18:54 connection info will be on the agenda and i will try to remember to send out a reminder email 14:19:21 and, we now have two more "official" meetings 14:19:35 sofia is leading the bug squad, right after this meeting 14:19:42 \ΓΈ/ 14:19:46 #link http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#Cinder_Bug_Squad_Meeting 14:20:07 and we decided last week to hold the festival of reviews the third friday of each month 14:20:17 #link http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#Cinder_Festival_of_XS_Reviews 14:20:38 if you go to those links, you can find a handy ICS file to add them to your calendar 14:21:15 ok, that's all from me ... anyone else have an announcement to share with the team? 14:21:26 Nice. 14:22:24 ok, moving on 14:22:32 #topic lower constraints job 14:22:51 the TC has decided that the lower-constraints job is optional 14:23:07 and that even if you do run it in master, it is *really* optional in the stable branches 14:23:34 so, there are a few issues we should consider as a team, but we will do that at the PTG 14:24:03 so we'll keep it as is for the wallaby release (it's working!), because it will be removed from stable/wallaby anyway 14:24:18 and we can decide later how to handle it in the development branch 14:24:37 but on that note, i have a patch up to tell cinder to use wallaby os-brick 14:24:57 and that patch adjusts the requirements and lower-constraints to match os-brick 14:25:10 so that does need to merge soon (like today?) 14:25:27 #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/779646 14:25:52 btw, other than that, i will not be adjusting requirements or lower-constraints 14:26:22 i looked last night, and the change in february caused by pip 20+ brought us pretty close to reality 14:26:42 but take a look, and if you have questions, please leave them on the review 14:26:51 unless someone has a question now? 14:27:58 yeah, i know, the excitement of lower constraints has everyone speechless 14:28:07 #topic cgroups in cinder 14:28:21 ok, this one is from zigo who said he couldn't be here 14:28:38 so he left a big message in the agenda 14:28:52 well, the proposal to move to cgroups v2 makes sense, and we should do it 14:29:04 is it related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1920912 ? 14:29:05 Launchpad bug 1920912 in Cinder "add of volume to a group which was created from group snapshot of another consistency group fails and group goes into error state" [Undecided,New] 14:29:05 i haven't yet looked into how much work that involves 14:29:12 oh, OK it's not 14:29:17 no 14:29:26 i noticed by the way that we don't have cgroup-tools or whatever it's called in our bindep file 14:29:27 sorry about that 14:29:34 cgroups is a linux process/resource management feature 14:30:53 seems like cgroups v2 has been around a while, i guess there's support in all the other distros? 14:31:22 yeah fedora did it in 2019 or so 14:32:01 ok, key issue at the moment is whether this is wallaby release critical 14:32:24 i am thinking no 14:32:25 unless i'm mistaken the cgroups commands aren't used unless you enable throttling in cinder.conf (should probably confirm this) 14:32:33 eharney: that is correct 14:32:41 (i was looking at that yesterday) 14:33:07 i think zigo's suggestion of mentioning this in a release note is probably a good one 14:33:13 and i assume we could backport this, so it's probably not release critical 14:33:21 that was my thought too 14:33:57 ok, i will write up a release note and people can comment on it, and we can talk more at the PTG 14:34:25 but from what i was looking at yesterday v1 and v2 are like completely incompatible 14:34:37 yes 14:35:01 ok, in the meantime, anyone who wants to get up to speed on cgroups, please do! 14:35:17 zigo says he won't have time to work on it himself 14:35:27 but thanks to him for bringing this to our attention 14:35:44 #topic stable branch release update 14:35:51 whoami-rajat: you have the floor 14:35:56 thanks 14:36:15 Hi, so we are remaining with train release and we still have unmerged patches 14:36:39 although a lot of patches were merged last week so thanks to everyone who reviewed 14:36:52 we currently have 3 patches, 2 from netapp and 1 from SVF 14:37:20 the SVF patch author hasn't replied or updated on my comment since 15th march so not sure what to do about it 14:37:44 #link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/stable-releases-review-tracker-22-02-2021 14:38:15 rosmaita: I've a question for you, can we propose the release without the SVF patches? they're included in victoria and ussuri release 14:38:50 yes 14:39:34 great, i will put up a release after the 2 netapp patches merge which might soon since sfernand updates patches quickly 14:40:08 Sounds good. 14:40:34 that's all from my side 14:40:38 what's the deal with SVF? that train patch has a dependency patch that has not been proposed to train? 14:40:54 yes 14:41:15 if we wait for it then we might release train after wallaby... 14:41:16 and it looks like you mentioned that over a week ago 14:41:38 yep 14:41:43 Strange that they haven't responded. They were very active for a while. 14:42:01 yes, and also extremely annoying asking for reviews 14:42:07 (did i say that out loud?) 14:42:20 rosmaita: I didn't hear anything. ;-) 14:42:43 *Sigh* That used to be part of my team. Don't have anyone to mentor them anymore I guess. 14:43:16 sorry folks I will update all netapp patches right after this meeting 14:43:54 how about we say aim for releasing train next week 14:43:56 tuesday maybe 14:44:25 works for me 14:44:36 that will give SVF team time to respond, and sfernand you may need to work on the wallaby feature bug patches ... keep an eye on those 14:44:46 ok, thanks whoami-rajat 14:44:57 #topic open discussion 14:45:44 ack 14:46:44 a few folks are already tracking this, but https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/781788 seems to help with our lio-barbican gate failures, so reviews there would be helpful 14:47:05 eharney: Oooh, good news. 14:48:24 yes, it would be a good idea to get that patch merged 14:48:30 and the one that depends on it 14:49:18 i need to go figure out which third party CIs are interesting for the second patch (remove_export_snapshot) and look at their results 14:49:41 oh, ok 14:50:40 the first patch seems pretty safe, though 14:51:15 Yeah. Can't make things worse. :-) 14:54:43 anything else for open discussion? 14:55:03 #action rosmaita add cgroup v2 topic to PTG etherpad 14:55:11 actually, that reminds me 14:55:18 don't forget to register for the PTG 14:55:26 Oh yeah. 14:55:30 and add topics to the etherpad if you have them 14:56:04 I have had a tab open for that since last week. 14:56:13 any hopes of getting https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/766751 at this point? 14:57:06 that has been sitting a long time 14:59:02 Looks like a good idea to me. 14:59:11 I am all for making failures more obvious. 14:59:35 i agree 14:59:35 yeah, when this happens, it makes a mess and isn't terribly clear to an admin looking at the logs 14:59:45 yeah, that's one that's tricky to see in the logs for non developers 14:59:53 ok, we are out of time 14:59:56 thanks everyone! 15:00:04 thanks! 15:00:15 #endmeeting
