libvirt 9.5.0 and later by default doesn't allow using a pre-created TAP device; instead it expects to create and manage the TAP device itself, which is incompatible with how Nova works. To restore compatibility with Nova we need to add the managed="no" flag to the target device section in the XML domain file. The libvirt change is here[1]. In particular it breaks Calico for OpenStack, because the Calico plugin (out of tree[2]) uses VIF type TAP. 1. https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/commit/a2ae3d299cf 2. https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/master/networking-calico/networking_calico/plugins/ml2/drivers/calico/mech_calico.py#L217 Many thanks to Masahito Muroi <masahito.muroi@linecorp.com> for proposing an earlier version of this fix.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
