History

Bob Kukura be8a068943 Replace binding:capabilities with binding:vif_details In addition to binding:vif_type, the neutron core plugin needs to supply various information to nova's VIF driver, such as VIF security details and PCI details when SR-IOV is being used. This information is read-only, requires admin privileges, and is not intended for normal users. Rather than add separate mechanisms throughout the stack for each such requirement, the binding:capabilities port attibute, which is a dictionary and is not currently not used by nova, is renamed to binding:vif_details to serve as a general-purpose mechanism for supplying binding-specific details to the VIF driver. This patch does not remove or replace the CAP_PORT_FILTER boolean previously used in binding:capabilities. A separate patch should implement the specific key/value pairs carried by binding:vif_details to implement VIF security. Another patch will implement the key/value pairs needed for SR-IOV. The ML2 plugin now allows the bound mechanism driver to supply the binding:vif_details dictionary content, instead of just the CAP_PORT_FILTER boolean previously carried by the binding:capabilities attribute. DocImpact: Need to update portbinding extension API, but no impact on user or administrator documentation. Implements: blueprint vif-details Related-Bug: 1112912 Change-Id: I34be746fcfa73c70f72b4f9add8eff3ac88c723f		2014-02-23 22:56:45 -05:00
