Apologies for Absence

Agenda for Next Neutron Team Meeting

Monday (7/20/2015) at 2100 UTC on #openstack-meeting

Announcements / Reminders

Liberty-2 is approaching very fast
- July 28-30
- https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Liberty_Release_Schedule
Neutron Policies are documented here:
- http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron/tree/doc/source/policies

Bugs

Important bugs:

- [1] DVR issues with supporting multiple subnets per network on DVR routers - PortbindingContext does not have the status.
- [2] Pre reference plugin code movement
- [3] Pylint 1.4.1 broken due to new logilab.common 1.0.0 release

Two bugs are hurting the functional job in the gate:
- [4] agent.test_l3_agent.MetadataL3AgentTestCase.test_access_to_metadata_proxy times out intermittently
- [5] radvd exits -1 intermittently in test_ha_router_process_ipv6_subnets_to_existing_port

Linuxbridge Gate Parity Bugs
- [6] nova libvirtError: Unable to add bridge brqxxx-xx port tapxxx-xx: Device or resource busy
- [7] Linux bridge: Dnsmasq is being passed None as an interface

Networking Guide

On Demand Agenda

pecan WSGI refactor
- Plan is this:
  - Merge pecan back into master as optional
  - Create gate job using pecan
  - Work to get that job to same stability as existing homegrown WSGI job
  - Dump homegrown WSGI by end of Liberty
Flavor Framework
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/139758/
nova-network compatibility tasks
- Summit session(s) in Vancouver were very productive
- Tasks tracked here: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-nova-network
- Need to find owners for a few of these
  - Rolling upgrades (mostly a grenade patch)
  - Distributed SNAT with DVR
  - "Get me a network (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/184857/) (kevinbenton to own this)
  - ARP Spoof patch series is stalled, need to make a decision on how to proceed. (kevinbenton will do this after beating requirements out of markmcclain)
partial upgrade support - http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-June/067156.html (armax/russelb)
Flow classifier work
- https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/flow-classifier
Linux Bridge CI Job
- Consistently failing - due to racy code
RFE - Packet logging API for Neutron
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1468366
  - Need to more review...
Where should Macvtap agent land? Own openstack repo, In-tree (as another reference impl), integrated into Linuxbridge, somewhere else? (scheuran)
- current discussion on: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/195907/
- Spec on github: https://github.com/scheuran/networking-macvtap/commit/bc239419398ec039da35ec949a14691280733bf6
- Linuxbridge integrated prototype (macvtap part working for compute attachments) on github: https://github.com/scheuran/networking-macvtap/commit/36a068cf3d3d6930ab9330efb099cd95a84ca785
Removing use of shell from neutron
- Current analysis: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/use-of-shell-in-neutron
- Can ryu patch (153946) be extended to cover calls to ovs-vsctl?
- Low hanging fruit:
  - How to remove uses that are parts of things that may not need to be part of neutron?
  - Patching ip_lib.py
When applicable, add documentation to networking guide rather than developer stuff.
