Public bug reported:

Nova fails to boot a VM with Neutron trunk port (vlan-aware-vms; [1])
attached if running with DPDK-enabled OVS (i.e. networking-ovs-dpdk
devstack plugin).

n-cpu.log (attached) shows an attempt to use os-vif with "No conversion
for VIF type vhostuser" message reported by nova.network.os_vif_util.
That causes Nova to fallback to 'Legacy non-os-vif codepath' [2] which
fails with "ovs-vsctl: no bridge named tbr-%s" error. That is because
'Legacy non-os-vif codepath' does not include the 'ensure_ovs_bridge'
functionality present in os-vif (e.g. [3]) that Neutron trunk port
support relies upon.


The issue was reproduced using (stable/newton) devstack with local.conf from [4] and OVS firewall_driver and trunk service_plugin enabled:

[[post-config|/$Q_PLUGIN_CONF_FILE]]
[securitygroup]
firewall_driver=openvswitch
[[post-config|$NEUTRON_CONF]]
[DEFAULT]
service_plugins=neutron.services.l3_router.l3_router_plugin.L3RouterPlugin,trunk

To reproduce the issue, create a trunk port [1] and boot a VM using that port (port0):
openstack network create net0
openstack network create net1
openstack network create net2
openstack subnet create --network net0 --subnet-range 10.0.4.0/24 subnet0
openstack subnet create --network net1 --subnet-range 10.0.5.0/24 subnet1
openstack subnet create --network net2 --subnet-range 10.0.6.0/24 subnet2

openstack port create --network net0 port0
openstack port create --network net1 port1
openstack port create --network net2 port2
openstack network trunk create --parent-port port0 \
  --subport port=port1,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=101 \
  --subport port=port2,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=102 \
  trunk0
