Title:
  /0 subnet causes dhcp failures

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Neutron allow for creating /0 subnet. This alone does not make a lot
  of sense.

  It also causes DHCP failures as the agent is not able to start the dnsmasq process.
  Trouble is that the DHCP agent goes into perennial fully resync mode.
  This might cause huge delays in setting up DHCP for other subnets, thus resulting in a potential DoS.

  So it might be better to prevent /0 subnets at all.
