Title:
[sriov] Modifying or removing pci_passthrough_whitelist may result in
inconsistent VF availability
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
Invalid
Bug description:
OpenStack Version: v14 (Newton)
NIC: Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro
While testing an SR-IOV implementation, we found that
pci_passthrough_whitelist in nova.conf is involved in the population
of the pci_devices table in the Nova DB. Making changes to the
device/interface in the whitelist or commenting out the line
altogether, and restarting nova-compute, can result in the entries
being marked as 'deleted' in the database. Reconfiguring the
pci_passthrough_whitelist option with the same device/interface will
result in new entries being created and marked as 'available'. This
can cause PCI device claim issues if an existing instance is still
running and using a VF and another instance is booted using a 'direct'
port.
In the following table, you can see the original implementation that
includes an allocated VF. During testing, we commented out the
pci_passthrough_whitelist line in nova.conf, and restarted nova-
compute. The entries were marked as 'deleted', though the running
instance was not deleted and continued to function. The
pci_passthrough_whitelist config was then returned and nova-compute
restarted. New entries were created and marked as 'available':

A new instance was then booted using a new 'direct' port. The instance
was marked in an ERROR state with the following error:

No attempt was made to provision a different VF, or to re-populate the
entries in pci_devices based on the existing VF allocation on the
host. I'm not sure what the expected action was meant to be in this
circumstance, if any.
