Just so we can set realistic expectations, it is not likely that the patches required for this feature will make it into os-vif, neutron and nova this late in Pike release cycle. This sounds very much like a Queens/OSP 13.0 feature at this point Some excellent help was received from upstream Nova developers in refactoring the original patches. This has resulted in lower impact on Nova. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/483459/ One final issue remains: the addition of a new VIF type to allow the external Neutron plugin to select the external os-vif plugin. Work in Queens is proposed to eliminate even that, but it is hoped that this VIF type is isolated enough to have minimal impact to the rest of Nova in stability or maintainability. The os-vif patches landed and were released at version 1.7.0 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/485366/ is currently in the gate to pull in this new version. The os-vif required version was bumped for Nova. The change to add VIFHostDevice support to libvirt was split off into: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/486426 This change is independent and should be common to other reviews. The patches were merged into mainline Nova. The patches were released at Nova version 16.0.0.0b3 Jan, Apologies for the delay here, can you confirm what if anything is still outstanding here? Thanks in advance, Lee Apologies for only closing this now, this has been in place for quite a while, no action needed! |
