[Bug 1552089] [NEW] Make agent interface plugging utilize network MTU

 

Public bug reported:

https://review.openstack.org/283790
Dear bug triager. This bug was created since a commit was marked with DOCIMPACT.
Your project "openstack/neutron" is set up so that we directly report the documentation bugs against it. If this needs changing, the docimpact-group option needs to be added for the project. You can ask the OpenStack infra team (#openstack-infra on freenode) for help if you need to.

    Make agent interface plugging utilize network MTU
    
    This changes the 'plug' and 'plug_new' interfaces of the
    LinuxInterfaceDriver to accept an MTU argument. It then
    updates the dhcp agent and l3 agent to pass the MTU that
    is set on the network that the port belongs to. This allows
    it to take into account the overhead calculations that are
    done for encapsulation types.
    
    It's necessary for the L3 agent to have the MTU because it
    must recognize when fragmentation is needed so it can fragment
    or generate an ICMP error.
    
    It's necessary for the DHCP agent to have the MTU so it doesn't
    interfere when it plugs into a bridge with a larger than 1500
    MTU (the bridge would reduce its MTU to match the agent).
    
    If an operator sets 'network_device_mtu', the value of that
    will be used instead to preserve previous behavior.

    DocImpact: Neutron agents now support arbitrary MTU
               configurations on each network (including
               jumbo frames). This is accomplished by checking
               the MTU value defined for each network on which
               it is wiring VIFs.
