dvo-plvHello, Community08:53
dvo-plvMaybe you will have a chance to review this patch https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/87607508:54
opendevreviewMerged openstack/nova stable/yoga: enable validations in nova-lvm  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/88878411:02
elodillesbauzas: sorry, my OCD couldn't leave the 'unrelated whatespace change' in the train-eol patch o:) could you please +1 it, to have PTL-Approved triggered on the patch? o:)11:37

elodillesthx o/12:35
kashyapHm, this timeout looks like an unrelated failure to me - https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/8525a961871c4602bedf3df605f7279113:02

sean-k-mooneyi have not seen that in a very long time13:14
dansmithkashyap: I saw one of that test failing just now too13:43
dansmiththe test failure maybe kinda looked like it didn't actually rebuild the guest, because the host key didn't match (or something)13:43
kashyapdansmith: Aah, I see.  The host key mismatch means hopeffully it's a transient issue 13:45
dansmithwell, I dunno, if we just saw two of them...13:45
kashyapHeh13:57
mnasersean-k-mooney: i know you play a fair bit with these things .. besides asap2, is there another way to get hw accelerated vxlan.. i'm wondering if ovs-dpdk can work for tenant networks (vxlan) too... but havent seen much reference in docs17:14
sean-k-mooney[m]we do not have support for hardware offloads with dpdk yet18:05
sean-k-mooney[m]in openstack18:05
sean-k-mooney[m]mnaser: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/2023.2/approved/support-napatech-linkvirtualization-smartnic.html is the spec you want18:07
sean-k-mooney[m]that will add support for hardwar offloads with ovs-dpdk in general18:07
sean-k-mooney[m]you do not need asap2 by the way18:08
sean-k-mooney[m]upstream kernel ovs support hardware offloads18:08
sean-k-mooney[m]but you do need the right nic driver18:08
sean-k-mooney[m]you do not need the forked ovs however18:09
sean-k-mooney[m]mnaser: https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/topics/dpdk/phy/#representors is the upstream ovs doc for dpdk hardware offloads18:10
sean-k-mooney[m]https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/Documentation/howto/dpdk.rst#flow-hardware-offload-experimental18:15
mnasersean-k-mooney[m]: so from an openstack pov, only offload we can do right now is asap218:35
sean-k-mooney[m]technially we only supprot kernel ovs hardware offload with upstream ovs18:35
sean-k-mooney[m]the in tree melanox kernel  nic driver should be sufficient18:36
sean-k-mooney[m]but asap is what nvidia/mellonx brand it as18:37
mnaserdo you know if intel has similar support?18:37
sean-k-mooney[m]not currently. they had poc but no product in the market18:37
mnasersean-k-mooney[m]: i see, cause i ran into this https://networkbuilders.intel.com/docs/networkbuilders/intel-ethernet-controller-700-series-open-vswitch-hardware-acceleration-application-note.pdf18:40
sean-k-mooney[m]yep with fortvial and ovs-dpdk18:40
mnasersean-k-mooney[m]: so only possible if that spec gets implemented?18:41
sean-k-mooney[m]yep. dpdk hardware offloads in ovs is experimental18:42
sean-k-mooney[m]but ovs-dpdk has had support for using rte_flow with some offload using fortviale/700 series and later18:42
sean-k-mooney[m]for years18:43
sean-k-mooney[m]but an end to end solution has not really matiarlised18:43
mnaseri see, so really dont have a lot of choices in this section unfortunatel18:43
mnasery18:43
sean-k-mooney[m]the  spec i linked should enable that18:43
mnaserbummer, ive been trying to get these palo alto vm series18:44
mnaserand they refuse to work with mlx nics18:44
mnaserand dpdk cant be offloaded for tenant networks18:44
sean-k-mooney[m]for what its worth i joined redhat form intel 5 years ago and i was working on intel hardware offload support before i left18:45
sean-k-mooney[m]and in that time they have not really made any forward progress until recently18:45
sean-k-mooney[m]napatech are partly doing the enabling in that spec on behalf of intel18:46
sean-k-mooney[m]which i found kind of odd when there PM said that at the PTG as intel used to have peole that worked on openstack18:46
mnaseryeah its been frustrating since PA only supports a few sriov vf's which doesnt include mlx ones18:51
