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

[Christian Rohmann]

Corey, Jared I believe your analysis is running a little in the wrong
direction here:

1) We run OpenStack TRAIN (15) and also experienced the described
issues. So there cannot be any relation to the database schema upgrades.

2) We did experience the issue even before the recent upgrade and we believe it's a coincidence that it was triggered just now. There also is a bug report about exactly the observations I made (all gateway interfaces where down): https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1916024
Did you observe anything else while running the potentially flawed 16.3.1 and when looking the interfaces of a virtual router?

3) The commit
https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron/commit/12c07ba3ea9c6501dd7494561e2920496407c48b
was just about trying to fight a race condition with a static "sleep 3",
but it also gave us an error message now and we saw this multiple times
during a larger batch of machine migrations. So the issue is real in
TRAIN and likely also in USSURI and later.

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.
