Description Harald Jensås 2019-03-28 12:12:00 UTC
Description of problem:
When upgrading from OSP-14 to OSP-15 the update fail's when Heat is updating the overcloud networks.

Neutron Server Log:
-------------------
2019-03-27 13:28:00.184 20 DEBUG neutron.api.v2.base [req-aee208d0-e3e8-40b8-8316-0530bb512a77 dda66281282842eea51aa60e69ff4861 a2329f55cdb5439789f17a5ab226cb73 - default default] Request body: {'network': {'provider:physical_network': 'external', 'provider:network_type': 'flat', 'mtu': 1500}} prepare_request_body /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/neutron/api/v2/base.py:714


The data in ^^ request is what is places in 'value_spec' for the OS::Neutron::Net resource[1]:

  {'network': {'provider:physical_network': 'external', 'provider:network_type': 'flat', 'mtu': 1500}}


Since change[2] we added the 'mtu' value by doing a map_merge in heat.
      value_specs:
        map_merge:
          - {get_param: {{network.name}}NetValueSpecs}
          - {'mtu': {get_param: {{network.name}}Mtu}}


Neutron refuses any update of the provider attributes, despite the actual values did not change.
Heat does not do a deep compare of value_specs and consider the entrire property a diff, and passes the provider net attributes in the update.


It looks like Heat[3] does not support setting these provider net attributes outside of value_spec.


I can think of three possible ways to fix this:
 - Change neutron to filter the data from the request if the value did'nt actually change
   I.e {'provider:physical_network': 'external', 'provider:network_type': 'flat'} in the request is actually what is already set. So it's not an actual update of the attributes.
 - Change Heat to do a deep property diff on the 'value_spec' property, and filter any key/values that did'nt actaully change.
 - Add provider net properties, or mtu properties, on OS::Neutron::Net so that THT can set these "individually" without using 'value_spec'

Comment 1 Harald Jensås 2019-03-28 15:36:03 UTC
Changed the component to openstack-neutron, and set DFG:Networking.
We had a little discussion and agree that this should be fixed in neutron. Upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1822100 opened for the issue.

Comment 2 Harald Jensås 2019-04-08 12:27:16 UTC
The original patch was rebased on top of some feature work.

A mistake was made, so we also need https://review.openstack.org/650599.
