Fixed In Version: openstack-neutron-7.0.4-7.el7ost
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
This update removes unnecessary downtime caused by updating OvS switch reconfiguration when restarting the OvS agent. Previously, dropping flows on physical bridges caused networking to drop. The same issue was experienced when the patch port between br-int and br-tun was deleted and rebuilt during startup. This enhancement resolves these issues, making it possible to restart the OvS agent without unnecessarily disrupting network traffic. This results in no downtime when restarting the OvS neutron agent if the bridge is already set up and reconfiguration was not requested.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2016:1353 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE openstack-neutron bug fix advisory 2016-06-29 17:57:46 UTC

Description Hynek Mlnarik 2016-05-30 07:20:59 UTC 
Dropping flows on the the physical bridges causes networking to drop. It's one of the two places that still causes networking to drop when OVS agent is restarted. The other is that the patch port between br-int and br-tun is being deleted and rebuilt during startup.

This issue prevents no-downtime upgrades. It has been fixed in upstream and backported to stable/liberty branch. As there is not known plan for next stable RHEL OSP 8 release, the relevant patches are going to be backported proactively.
