For Ubuntu, a new version of neutron with this fix has been uploaded to
the focal unapproved queue. This will have to wait until
2:16.4.2-0ubuntu4 is promoted from focal-proposed.

Bug description:
  the Neutron port dns_assignment dont match the designate DNS records
  assigned to the Neutron port

  as explained in the link below
  https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/pike/admin/config-dns-int.html

  when a user creates a neutron port using the command below
  neutron port-create 37aaff3a-6047-45ac-bf4f-a825e56fd2b3 \
    --dns-name my-vm --dns_domain port-domain.org.

  The actual output for dns_assignment is:
  {"hostname": "my-vm", "ip_address": "203.0.113.9", "fqdn": "my-vm.example.org."}
  {"hostname": "my-vm", "ip_address": "2001:db8:10::9", "fqdn": "my-vm.example.org."}

  and the Designate DNS records is
  67a8e83d-7e3c-4fb1-9261-0481318bb7b5 | A    | my-vm.port-domain.org.  | 203.0.113.9
  5a4f671c-9969-47aa-82e1-e05754021852 | AAAA | my-vm.port-domain.org.  | 2001:db8:10::9

  while the expected output for dns-assignment:
  {"hostname": "my-vm", "ip_address": "203.0.113.9", "fqdn": "my-vm.port-domain.org."}
  {"hostname": "my-vm", "ip_address": "2001:db8:10::9", "fqdn": "my-vm.port-domain.org."}

  most likely right now the dns_domain is taken from the Neutron network
  dns_domain or from neutron dns_domain configuration

  A good approach would be to always make the dns_assignment for Neutron
  port synced with the Designate DNS records if Designate is used

  === Ubuntu SRU Details ===

  [Impact]
  If a network is created it assumed the dns_domain from neutron.conf if one is not provided when the network is created but if it we expect that one to take precendence. We also expect ports created on this network to use the network dns_domain. This was not happening and is fixed with this patch.

  [Test Case]
  * deploy Openstack Ussuri
  * configure neutron-api dns-domain="test.dom1."
  * create a network with --dns-domain test.dom2.
  * create a vm with port on that network and check that the port is using test.dom2.

  [Where things could go wrong]
  This will not fix existing networks and ports but is not expected to cause any regressions.
