Title:
  Metadata broken for SR-IOV external ports

Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OpenStack Usurri/OVN SR-IOV instances are unable to connect to the
  metadata service despite DHCP and normal traffic work.

  The 169.254.169.254 metadata route is directed at the DHCP port IP,
  and no arp reply is received by the VM for this IP. Diagnosis finds
  that the ARP reply returns from the ovnmeta namespace on the chassis
  hosting the external port but is dropped inside OVS.

  20.03.2-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 backported the following patch:
  Do not forward traffic from localport to localnet ports (LP: #1943266)
  (d/p/lp-1943266-physical-do-not-forward-traffic-from-localport-to-a-.patch)

  This patch broke metadata for SR-IOV external ports and was fixed in 1148580290d0ace803f20aeaa0241dd51c100630 "Don't suppress localport traffic directed to external port":
