[Bug 2029952] Please test proposed package

[Corey Bryant]

Hello Edward, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-oslo.privsep into wallaby-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:wallaby-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-wallaby-needed to verification-wallaby-done. If it
does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and
change the tag to verification-wallaby-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:
  [Impact]
  Hosts running Openstack Neutron from Ussuri to Yoga release are impacted by
  the fact that their use of oslo.privsep is thwarted by a default buffer size
  on python-msgpack such that commands that return strings > 1MB in size cause
  privsep to crash and agents to stop working. This patch backports a fix that
  increased the buffer size to one that is more appropriate to neutron usage.

  [Test Plan]

    * deploy Openstack (version corresponding to release of SRU) with l3ha
    * need at least one compute host and two neutron-gateway hosts
    * create a large number of routers each with several networks attached
    * restart neutron-l3-agent
    * wait for restart to complete then do 'journalctl --unit neutron-l3-agent --grep ValueError'
    * if the error does not appear then the patch is working
    * note that it is necessary to create routers with enough networks and ports to trigger the > 1MB size limit for the netlink info message returned by privsep to trigger

  [Where problems could occur]
  No regressions are expected to occur as a result of this patch as it is
  increasing the buffer size by a fairly small amount to allow neutron
  function correctly in loaded environments.

  The main explanation for this backport can be found in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-
  oslo.privsep/+bug/1896734/comments/37 but I'm opening a new bug for
  the privsep backport since 1896734 was used to backport a neutron fix.
