[Bug 1475256] Re: sriov: VFs attributes (vlan, mac address) are not cleaned up after port delete

 

That vif is created/deleted by nova during vif plug/unplug. It sounds
like you've discovered a case where the unplug operation is not
happening.

** Project changed: neutron => nova

  sriov: VFs attributes (vlan, mac address) are not cleaned up after
  port delete

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):

Bug description:
  Image we create a port like this:

  $ neutron port-create  --binding:vnic_type=direct --name rjuly013 sriovtest0

  $

  And then create a VM with this port:

  $ nova boot --image 3c3a5387-7471-4e88-a19e-09e0c9a08707 --flavor 3
  --nic port-id=2ec3b30e-e3cf-4a8f-a7cb-68a910a59e9a rjuly013

  Now we can see a VF configured:

  $ ip link|grep fa:16:3e:ca:11:87
      vf 7 MAC fa:16:3e:ca:11:87, spoof checking on, link-state auto
  $

  After deletion of VM, we can see that the VF is still configured:

  $ ip link|grep fa:16:3e:ca:11:87
      vf 7 MAC fa:16:3e:ca:11:87, spoof checking on, link-state auto
  $

  This situation could cause troubles, for example, if user would want
  to create a new port with the mac address of the removed port, and if
  a port would be allocated on the same PF, there would be 2 VFs with
  the same MAC address in result. This could cause an unexpected
  behavior, with 'ixgbe' at least.
