We are reading this config item as:

    cfg.ListOpt('mechanism_drivers',
                default=[],
                help=_("An ordered list of networking mechanism driver "
                       "entry points to be loaded from the "
                       "neutron.ml2.mechanism_drivers namespace.")),

which states by defaults its [] hence neutron-server keeps running.

I don't feel we could do anything in the  code to validate the config is
correctly spelled or has some typo mistake.

Anyway, It is well documented in OpenStack-manuals what needs to be
configured in ml2_conf.ini.


Hence, marking this bug as invalid.

Title:
  neutron server should quit without a valid mechanism_drivers setting

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I've made a typo while setting up my environment, accidentally writing
  "mechanism_driver = openvswitch" instead of "mechanism_drivers =
  openvswitch", which caused neutron to start without any warnings but
  port binding fails instantly thus cannot boot VMs.

  Should we throw an ERROR while starting and quit, or should we throw
  an ERROR in the port_binding code?
