16:03:51 <gibi> s/eletrhozas/letrehozas/
16:03:55 <artom> The old channel was better, I could understand what people were saying :(
16:04:02 <artom> (Some of the time)
16:04:09 <gibi> #topic Bugs (stuck/critical)
16:04:15 <gibi> no critical onse
16:04:18 <gibi> ones
16:04:25 <gibi> #link 14 new untriaged bugs (+3 since the last meeting): #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?search=Search&field.status=New
16:04:44 <gibi> besides gate bugs (coming in the next topic) is there any bug we need to talk about?
16:06:23 <gibi> #topic Gate status
16:06:27 <gibi> Nova gate bugs #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=gate-failure
16:07:03 <gibi> we fixed the mypy blockage but the gate is still shaky
16:07:23 <gibi> we are tracking a list of new bugs that causing intermittent failures
16:08:07 <gibi> and rechecking fixes
16:08:23 <gibi> I don't want to go through the whole list of bugs
16:08:28 <sean-k-mooney> we have made some progress on https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1929446 , otherwiseguy summerised some of the steps forward in https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1929446/comments/3 while https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ovsdbapp/+/795789 seams to fix it we are not going to proceedd with merging it
16:08:52 <sean-k-mooney> im going to try and implement the os-vif changes this week
16:09:26 <gibi> sean-k-mooney: it is the one that suspected to causing timeouts in live migrations?
16:09:34 <sean-k-mooney> terry is proceedign with the fix in ovs.
16:09:36 <sean-k-mooney> yes
16:09:40 <sean-k-mooney> not just live migrations
16:10:06 <sean-k-mooney> it i causeing the agent to periodically block for several seconds whenever there is a disconnection form ovs
16:10:21 <sean-k-mooney> so its likely makeing the many things flaky
16:11:03 * melwitt majorly looks forward to that fix
16:11:13 <gibi> sean-k-mooney: thanks
16:11:24 <gibi> any other bug needs discussion?
16:13:17 <gibi> Placement periodic jobs looks green
16:13:23 <gibi> #link https://zuul.openstack.org/builds?project=openstack%2Fplacement&pipeline=periodic-weekly
16:13:28 <gibi> #topic Release Planning
16:13:32 <gibi> Milestone 2 is 15 of July
16:13:46 <gibi> anything else about the release?
16:14:38 <gibi> #topic Stable Branches
16:14:44 <gibi> stable/ussuri is blocked -- fix needs to be merged: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/794675
16:14:48 <gibi> other branches should be OK
16:14:52 <gibi> stable/ocata will be EOL'd -- nova patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/795664
16:14:55 <gibi> EOM
16:14:59 <gibi> thanks elodilles for the summary
16:15:09 <elodilles> np
16:15:20 <gibi> anything else on stable?
16:15:23 <tosky> gibi: about that first patch, I think it's a bit more complicated, melwitt created a squashed patch with more changes
16:15:29 <tosky> but it's failing too
16:15:55 <melwitt> yeah elodilles has added a comment wrt the fail
16:16:08 <elodilles> yes, I've just commented on it as it is failing on the post tasks
16:16:22 <elodilles> :]
16:16:36 <melwitt> and yes it's a megasquash. I defer to elodilles as to how the commit message should be bc I don't know :)
16:17:03 <tosky> this one: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/795432/2 (which should probably get a better combined subject)
16:17:35 <lyarwood> I missed our reasoning for doing this but as it's mostly my work I'll try to take a look before I leave today
16:17:43 <tosky> or you can preserve https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/794675 as it is, but set nova-live-migration as non-voting, and re-enable it in a subsequent commit
16:18:08 <tosky> which would reduce the diff and avoid a supermegasquash
16:18:23 <gibi> lyarwood: thanks
16:18:27 <melwitt> lyarwood: tl;dr is tosky recommended we backport the native zuul v3 patches instead of fixing legacy versions
16:19:05 <melwitt> so I tried to do it. it worked ok until ussuri
16:19:17 <lyarwood> ack understood
16:19:37 <tosky> it's mostly working in fact: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/795432/ shows that the backported change works, but something else fails
16:19:55 <melwitt> so feel free to take another approach if it's too messy
16:20:24 <elodilles> maybe just that post task should be fixed (to avoid the supermegasquash :))
16:20:40 <elodilles> I mean... if that is possible...
16:20:50 <elodilles> without the supermegasquash
16:21:10 <lyarwood> yeah it's possible
16:21:26 <elodilles> \o/
16:21:27 <lyarwood> it's just because this was written against focal but the nodes here are bionic AFAICT
16:21:44 <sean-k-mooney> on ussuri?
16:21:45 <elodilles> yes, it's bionic
16:21:46 <gmann> yeah ussuri is on bionic
16:21:55 <sean-k-mooney> really ok i thought that was focal
16:22:04 <gmann> from victoria we moved to focal
16:22:07 <sean-k-mooney> hopefully that wont be hard to fix then
16:22:35 <sean-k-mooney> Could not find the requested service libvirtd-ro.socket: host
16:22:43 <sean-k-mooney> ok so likely hte service names are different
16:22:59 <sean-k-mooney> both that should be a quick fix
16:23:14 <gibi> OK I think we generated ideas about the way forwards
16:23:23 <gibi> anything else about stable?
16:23:38 <elodilles> nothing from me
16:24:29 <gibi> OK moving on
16:24:44 <gibi> skipping the libvirt subteam topic as bauzas is absent, but he said nothing to report
16:24:50 <gibi> #topic Open discussion
16:24:57 <gibi> there is one item on the agenda
16:25:04 <gibi> (yonglihe)smartnic support need one extra core reviewer , we have alex now, anyone else could help? thanks : https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/779913 (yongli could not attending due to time slot...)
16:25:58 <gibi> looking at the patches I think alex_xu haven't reviewed them
16:26:18 <gibi> or at least not recently
16:26:50 <gibi> as I reviewed these in the past I can be the second core
16:27:05 <gibi> but I will wait for Alex to to the first rounds
16:27:50 <gibi> any comment?
16:28:38 <sean-k-mooney> i can proably take another look at that although i kind of wanted
16:28:48 <sean-k-mooney> someone else who can review the code to be on board with it
16:28:58 <sean-k-mooney> oh that the implemtion not the spec
16:29:06 <gibi> yep the spec is approved
16:30:24 <sean-k-mooney> well i can try and review the code i guess but maybe stephenfin  or bauzas could take a look?
16:30:59 <stephenfin> I can give it a shot
16:31:18 <gibi> OK thanks I think this is more than enough :)
16:31:25 <gibi> any other topic for today?
16:32:23 <stephenfin> oh, one
16:32:27 <stephenfin> specless BP approval
16:32:31 <stephenfin> for https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/remove-sqlalchemy-migrate
16:32:40 <stephenfin> I thought I had done this before, but clearly not
16:32:53 <stephenfin> that's the spec to track replacing sqlalchemy-migrate with alembic
16:33:18 <sean-k-mooney> you mean blueprint
16:33:22 <sean-k-mooney> or is there actully a spec
16:33:52 <stephenfin> sorry, blueprint, yeah
16:33:57 <sean-k-mooney> i assume you want to track it as a specless blueprint
16:34:00 <sean-k-mooney> ok
16:34:23 <opendevreview> Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova stable/ussuri: zuul: Start to migrate nova-live-migration to zuulv3  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/795432
16:34:49 <gibi> stephenfin: do you forsee any complication that might warrant a spec?
16:35:09 <stephenfin> not at the moment, no. It's very simple if tedious so far
16:35:28 <sean-k-mooney> in the ptg we said """create a contributor doc showing how a migration will look like after the change. Document how to backport a migration to stable""" and """figure out if alembic collapsing migrations can this cause timeouts for big migrations"""
16:35:34 <stephenfin> if I encounter something that I think warrants discussion, I'll happily write one then
16:35:44 <sean-k-mooney> did we we figure out the latter
16:36:06 <stephenfin> I haven't managed to rewrite all the migrations yet, so no
16:36:19 <sean-k-mooney> i think that was the only concern we had e.g. how does it scale
16:36:25 <sean-k-mooney> ok
16:36:43 <opendevreview> Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: gate: Remove test_evacuate.sh  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/796523
16:36:46 <stephenfin> though neutron's use of this suggests we'll be fine (famous last words :))
16:36:47 <sean-k-mooney> i suspect as well as what we currently use or at least well enough for neutron
16:36:53 <stephenfin> yup
16:37:18 <sean-k-mooney> i dont really have any open quetsion that woudl warrent a spec
16:37:31 <sean-k-mooney> provided you provide the contib doc as part of the series
16:38:12 <gibi> any objection against approving it as specless bp?
16:39:12 <gibi> then it is approved
16:39:19 <gibi> any other topic for today?
16:39:27 <stephenfin> hurrah
16:39:29 <stephenfin> not from me
16:40:15 <sean-k-mooney> am one
16:40:19 <gibi> any feedback on having the meeting on this channel?
16:40:29 <sean-k-mooney> gibi: when did you want to do the next spec review day
16:40:38 <dansmith> ++ on meeting in channel :)
16:40:39 <sean-k-mooney> gibi: and i think it worked ok
16:40:51 <gmann> ++
16:40:57 <gibi> sean-k-mooney: 6th of July maybe?
16:41:24 <stephenfin> meeting in the channel seems sensible so far, yup
16:41:26 <sean-k-mooney> ya that gives a few days befor m2 on the 12th
16:41:27 <gibi> that is a bit more than a week before the freeze
16:41:29 <sean-k-mooney> so works for me
16:41:36 <stephenfin> as does that date
16:42:05 <sean-k-mooney> oh m2 is the 15th
16:42:07 <sean-k-mooney> ya
16:42:25 <sean-k-mooney> ok that was all i wanted to ask
16:42:38 <gibi> if nothing else then thanks for joining.
16:42:53 <gibi> I give the channel back :)
