In case when new external network is set as gateway network for
dvr router, neutron tries to create floating IP agent gateway port.
There should be always max 1 such port per network per L3 agent but
sometimes when there are 2 requests to set external gateway for 2
different routers executed almost in same time it may happend that
there will be 2 such ports created.
That will cause error with configuration of one of routers on L3 agent
and this will cause e.g. problems with access from VMs to metadata
service.
Such issues are visible in DVR CI jobs from time to time. Please check
related bug for details.
This patch adds lock mechanism during creation of such FIP gateway port.
Such solution isn't fully solving exising race condition as if 2
requests will be processed by api workers running on 2 different nodes
than this race can still happend.
But this should mitigate the issue a bit and solve problem in U/S gates
at least.
For proper fix we should probably add some constraint on database level
to prevent creation of 2 such ports for one network and one host but
such solution will not be easy to backport to stable branches so I would
prefer first to go with this easy workaround.
