There are several cases in the Nova/Neutron/os-vif interaction where the knowledge of the neutron core plugin or ML2 driver would be useful to facilitate a more robust handling of guest networking. For example, in Icehouse, a external event mechanism was introduced to allow neutron to notify Nova of network changes and VIF plugging. As the occasion on which these events are emitted is dependent on the driver that bound the port and Nova does not have knowledge of that. Therefore, Nova cannot rely on the event to synchronize the operation between Nova and neutron, which has lead to a race condition in the past.

OpenStack Neutron Specifications
This git repository is used to hold approved design specifications for additions to the Neutron project. Reviews of the specs are done in gerrit, using a similar workflow to how we review and merge changes to the code itself.
The layout of this repository is:
specs/<release>/
You can find an example spec in specs/template.rst.
Specifications are proposed for a given release by adding them to the specs/<release> directory and posting it for review. The implementation status of a blueprint for a given release can be found by looking at the blueprint in launchpad. Not all approved blueprints will get fully implemented.
Specifications have to be re-proposed for every release. The review may be quick, but even if something was previously approved, it should be re-reviewed to make sure it still makes sense as written.
Prior to the Juno development cycle, this repository was not used for spec reviews. Reviews prior to Juno were completed entirely through Launchpad blueprints:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron
Please note, Launchpad blueprints are still used for tracking the current status of blueprints. For more information, see:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Blueprints
For more information about working with gerrit, see:
https://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow
To validate that the specification is syntactically correct (i.e. get more confidence in the Jenkins result), please execute the following command:
$ tox
After running tox
, the documentation will be available
for viewing in HTML format in the doc/build/
directory.
