Description Randy Rubins 2022-11-18 12:50:18 UTC
Description of problem:
Creating octavia loadbalancer fails due to openflow rules not being matched when port security enabled on healthmanager port in octavia-worker.  egress traffic from octavia-worker does not reach amphora on tcp/9443.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OSP 16.2, openstack-octavia-worker-5.1.3-2.20220328185156.el8ost

How reproducible:
With openvswitch native firewall and port-security enabled on octavia-worker (o-hm) port, the creation of load balancer does not complete and errors out (see below).  Removing port-security on that port enables loadbalancer to be created.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create loadbalancer with port security enabled (ovs-fw) on o-hm port
2. traffic unable to egress/reach amphora instance on tcp/9443
3. only entirely removing port-security resolves the issue.  If security group rules are adjusted to allow all egress tcp/udp traffic from that port, it still does not resolve the issue.

Actual results:
Failure in ovs-fw / openflow rules matching cause dropped packets and octavia loadbalancer creation fails.

Expected results:
Openflow rules should be matched and egress should be allowed.
