--- fixes: - | Since the 16.0.0 (Pike) release, nova has collected NIC feature flags via libvirt. To look up the NIC feature flags for a whitelisted PCI device the nova libvirt driver computed the libvirt nodedev name by rendering a format string using the netdev name associated with the interface and its current MAC address. In some environments the libvirt nodedev list can become out of sync with the current MAC address assigned to a netdev and as a result the nodedev look up can fail. Nova now uses PCI addresses, rather than MAC addresses, to look up these PCI network devices.
