[Bug 1896506] Re: keepalived_use_no_track default=True breaks bionic deploys

[Chris MacNaughton]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ In the latest Neutron stable release, a new config option was introduced
+ to control using no_track in Keepalived. This config options defaults to
+ true which is broken on releases before Focal.
+ 
+ The proposed fix for this in earlier releases is to change the default
+ to False.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ TBD
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The regression potential is low as the fix is changing a configuration
+ default.
+ 
+ 
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
  Presumably the default of keepalived_use_no_track default=True breaks
  bionic deploys and the patch [1] has been backported to several bionic-
  based stable branches with a conflicting default config value; it's been
  backported back to stable/rocky.

  This doesn't seem like a good backport to stable branches without having
  some logic in it that detects the version of keepalived and sets the
  default appropriately based on that version.
  
  More discussion with slaweq from #openstack-neutron:
  
  coreycb> Corey Bryant slaweq: about this backport, will it break deployments that are on bionic? https://review.opendev.org/#/c/747857/1
  10:40 AM I don't think there are any stein deployments on focal
  11:06 AM
  <slaweq> Sławek Kapłoński coreycb: what keepalived version is available on Bionic?
  11:06 AM coreycb: ahh, ok it's 1.x
  11:06 AM
  <coreycb> Corey Bryant slaweq: correct 1.x
  11:06 AM
  <slaweq> Sławek Kapłoński so it should be set to False on Bionic
  11:10 AM → armax joined  ⇐ priteau quit
  11:12 AM
  <coreycb> Corey Bryant slaweq: it would be really nice to if we could detect the version and set it appropriately
  
  Can we revert this for all releases prior to Ussuri?
  
  For Ubuntu, Ussuri is available by default with Focal, but we also
  backport Ussuri to bionic so we would have to change the default for
  keepalived_use_no_track default to False for bionic.

  For Ubuntu, Ussuri is available by default with Focal, but we also
  backport Ussuri to bionic so we would have to change the default for
  keepalived_use_no_track default to False for bionic.
