[Bug 1915255] Re: [Victoria] nova-compute won't start on aarch64 - raises PciDeviceNotFoundById

 

This is a real issue because the Cavium ThunderX hardware violates an assumtion we have with regards to PF having netdevs if VF do.
we just need to re add this try excpet that was removed.
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/739131/12/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#b6957

it was orginally removed as we are only looking at the sub set of VFs that are nics
but since the Cavium ThunderX does not assing a PF to all VFs
per https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-nova-compute/+bug/1771662

we need to catch the exception in this case as we did before.

this means that minium bandwidth based QOS cannot be implemented on
this hardware as we rely on the PF netdev name to correlate the
bandwidth between nova and neutron but other functionality shoudl work.
The only way to support min bandwith qos on thsi hardware would be to
altere the nic driver or enhance nova/neutron to support using the PF
pci address instead of the parent netdev name.

  [Victoria] nova-compute won't start on aarch64 - raises

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  When deploying OpenStack Victoria on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) on
  arm64/aarch64, nova-compute 22.0.1 fails to start with (nova-
  compute.log):

  ----------
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nova/pci/utils.py", line 156, in get_ifname_by_pci_address
      dev_info = os.listdir(dev_path)
  FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0002:01:00.1/physfn/net'

  During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nova/compute/manager.py", line 9823, in _update_available_resource_for_node

      pci_info = [self._get_pcidev_info(name, dev, net_devs) for name, dev
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py", line 7199, in _get_pcidev_info
      device.update(_get_device_type(cfgdev, address, dev, net_devs))
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py", line 7154, in _get_device_type
      parent_ifname = pci_utils.get_ifname_by_pci_address(
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/nova/pci/utils.py", line 159, in get_ifname_by_pci_address
      raise exception.PciDeviceNotFoundById(id=pci_addr)
  nova.exception.PciDeviceNotFoundById: PCI device 0002:01:00.1 not found
  ----------

  This results in an empty `openstack hypervisor list`.

  This does not happen with OpenStack Ussuri (nova-compute 21.1.0). We
  also haven't seen this on other architectures (yet?). This code
  actually appeared between Ussuri and Victoria, [0] i.e. the first
  version having it is 22.0.0.

  $ lspci | grep 0002:01:00.1
  0002:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Cavium, Inc. THUNDERX Network Interface Controller virtual function (rev 09)

  Indeed /sys/bus/pci/devices/0002:01:00.1/physfn/ doesn't contain `net`
  but I'm not sure if that's really a problem or if nova-compute should
  just catch the exception and move on?

  A similar issue in the past [1] shows that this might be an issue
  specific to the Cavium Thunder X NIC.

  Related issue: [2]

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  Install and run nova >= 22.0.0 on an aarch64 machine (with a Cavium
  Thunder X NIC if possible). I personally use Juju [3] for deploying an
  entire OpenStack Victoria setup to a lab:

  $ git clone https://github.com/openstack-charmers/openstack-bundles
  $ cd openstack-bundles/development/openstack-base-focal-victoria/
  $ juju deploy ./bundle.yaml

  Expected result
  ===============

  `openstack hypervisor list` shows at least one hypervisor.
  nova-compute.log doesn't contain nova.exception.PciDeviceNotFoundById

  Actual result
  =============

  `openstack hypervisor list` doesn't show any hypervisor.
  nova-compute.log contains nova.exception.PciDeviceNotFoundById
