Description Haresh Khandelwal 2021-10-06 12:52:29 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently on RHEL8, few kernel modules are not part of kernel-core and
added to kernel-modules-extra. Those are
 - bareudp (for bareudp tunnels support, which is for MPLSoUDP)
 - act_mpls (TC support for MPLS)
 - act_ct (TC support for CT)
 - sctp

In case of ovs-hw-offload, without k-m-e installed,
it will have a performance because of excessive upcalls due to the lack of act_ct.
MPLS stuff may hit a similar situation. It's better to have this module in overcloud image.

This patch is intended to provision k-m-e in overcloud image through tripleo-common.

On RHEL9, only sctp will remain in kernel-modules-extra, while the rest was moved to kernel-core already.
