RHBA-2017:1785 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Networking packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 11.0 (Ocata) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building, deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Networking service

OpenStack Networking (neutron) is a virtual network service for OpenStack.
Just as OpenStack Compute (nova) provides an API to dynamically request and
configure virtual servers, OpenStack Networking provides an API to
dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect
'interfaces' from other OpenStack services (e.g. virtual NICs from Compute
VMs). The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced
network capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)

This advisory applies the following updates:

• This release includes a workaround for a Linux kernel bug that made

it possible for network peers to miss gratuitious ARP updates. When
this occurred, connectivity recovery slowed down when moving an IP
address between devices.
(BZ#1438662)

• A bug in tempest.exceptions that caused some tests to incorrectly

fail is now fixed.
(BZ#1445228)

• The default messaging driver has now been corrected, thereby

ensuring that notifications are enabled correctly.
(BZ#1458053)

• With this release, the following components have been rebased:
• python-networking-vmware-nsx to version 391df31 (BZ#1465015)
• openstack-neutron-lbaas to version 47ffd13 (BZ#1465101)
• openstack-neutron to version 47ffd13 (BZ#1465109)
• openstack-neutron-fwaas to version e32e82d (BZ#1465426)
• openstack-neutron-vpnaas to version 6fece0e (BZ#1465451)
• python-networking-bigswitch to version d882315 (BZ#1465832)
• python-networking-cisco to version 2c5523f (BZ#1465834)
