[Bug 1927868] Re: vRouter not working after update to 16.3.1

[Christian Rohmann]

Yes, Billy Olsen, we are a little in doubt about this
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1927868/comments/18) as well.

We have been observing such non functioning gateways on our Train
installation occasionally also before this patch / update.

Usually a "clear gateway" and a recreation via the Horizon GUI by the
user fixed this - one more reason to pursue the idea of a race condition
as it then works on another attempt.

Also killing the master keepalived did work as it then switched over to
another node usually just worked.


With the recent change though, we appear to have had a larger number
broken gateways after migrations and node reboots.

Title:
  vRouter not working after update to 16.3.1

Status in neutron:
  New
Status in neutron package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  We run a juju managed Openstack Ussuri on Bionic. After updating
  neutron packages from 16.3.0 to 16.3.1 all virtual routers stopped
  working. It seems that most (not all) namespaces are created but have
  only the lo interface and sometime the ha-XYZ interface in DOWN state.
  The underlying tap interfaces are also in down.

  neutron-l3-agent has many logs similar to the following:
  2021-05-08 15:01:45.286 39411 ERROR neutron.agent.l3.ha_router [-] Gateway interface for router 02945b59-639b-41be-8237-3b7933b4e32d was not set up; router will not work properly

  and journal logs report at around the same time

  Downgrading to 16.3.0 resolves the issues.
