[Bug 1783654] Please test proposed package

[Corey Bryant]

Hello Arjun, or anyone else affected,

Accepted neutron into queens-proposed. The package will build now and be
available in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. To enable the -proposed
repository:

  sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:queens-proposed
  sudo apt-get update

Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-queens-needed to verification-queens-done. If it does
not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change
the tag to verification-queens-failed. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  Seems like collateral from
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1751396

  In DVR, the distributed gateway port's IP and MAC are shared in the
  qrouter across all hosts.

  The dvr_process_flow on the physical bridge (which replaces the shared
  router_distributed MAC address with the unique per-host MAC when its
  the source), is missing, and so is the drop rule which instructs the
  bridge to drop all traffic destined for the shared distributed MAC.

  Because of this, we are seeing the router MAC on the network
  infrastructure, causing it on flap on br-int on every compute host:

  root at milhouse:~# ovs-appctl fdb/show br-int | grep fa:16:3e:42:a2:ec
     11     4  fa:16:3e:42:a2:ec    1
  root at milhouse:~# ovs-appctl fdb/show br-int | grep fa:16:3e:42:a2:ec

  Where port 1 is phy-br-vlan, connecting to the physical bridge, and
  port 11 is the correct local qr-interface. Because these dvr flows are
  missing on br-vlan, pkts w/ source mac ingress into the host and br-
  int learns it upstream.

  The symptom is when pinging a VM's floating IP, we see occasional
  packet loss (10-30%), and sometimes the responses are sent upstream by
  br-int instead of the qrouter, so the ICMP replies come with fixed IP
  of the replier since no NAT'ing took place, and on the tenant network
  rather than external network.

  When I force net_shared_only to False here, the problem goes away:
  https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/stable/pike/neutron/plugins/ml2/drivers/openvswitch/agent/ovs_dvr_neutron_agent.py#L436

  It should we noted we *ONLY* need to do this on our dvr_snat host. The
  dvr process's are missing on every compute host. But if we shut
  qrouter on the snat host, FIP functionality works and DVR mac stops
  flapping on others. Or if we apply fix only to snat host, it works.
  Perhaps there is something on SNAT node that is unique


  Ubuntu SRU details:
  -------------------
  [Impact]
  See above

  [Test Case]
  Deploy OpenStack with dvr enabled and then follow the steps above.

  [Regression Potential]
  The patches that are backported have already landed upstream in the corresponding stable branches, helping to minimize any regression potential.
