RHBA-2021:2772 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated container images are now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform
16.1.6 async (Train) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.

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.

Changes to the openstack-containers component:

This update fixes a bug that caused the creation of manila shares to fail in native CephFS and CephFS through NFS-Ganesha environments.

The Shared File Systems service (manila) communicates with CephFS through the `ceph_vol_client` library. With the previous manila-share container, using `stat` or `mkdir` operating system calls from the `ceph_vol_client` library raised an exception that was handled incorrectly. The exception caused the Shared File Systems service to disconnect from the back end, which caused the share creation process to fail.

This update introduces a safe function for directory creation that corrects the problem. (BZ#1980423)
