[Bug 1988542] [NEW] [RFE] OVN support for vnic type virtio-forwarder

 

Public bug reported:

Problem Description

The current neutron OVN plugin does not supports vnic type virtio-forwarder,
which is supported by Nova. 

Reference:
https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/pike/implemented/netronome-smartnic-enablement.html

Proposed Change

Implement the functionality of supporting vnic type virtio-forwarder in neutron
OVN mech driver. The neutron will generate a detailed vif and send it to nova
when a virtio-forwarder vnic is requested.

The existing vnic types support in OVN plugin will not be impacted. Other network
plugins also will not be impacted.

** Affects: neutron
     Importance: Undecided
