Hello Miro, or anyone else affected,

Accepted neutron into ussuri-proposed. The package will build now and be
available in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. To enable the -proposed
repository:

  sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:ussuri-proposed
  sudo apt-get update

Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-ussuri-needed to verification-ussuri-done. If it does
not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change
the tag to verification-ussuri-failed. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  Runtime exception:

  ovsdbapp.backend.ovs_idl.idlutils.RowNotFound: Cannot find Port_Group
  with name=pg_aa9f203b_ec51_4893_9bda_cfadbff9f800

  can occure while performing database sync between Neutron db and OVN NB db using neutron-ovn-db-sync-util.
  This exception occures when the `sync_networks_ports_and_dhcp_opts()` function ends up implicitly creating a new default security group for a tenant/project id. This is normally ok but the problem is that `sync_port_groups` was already called and thus the port_group does not exists in NB DB. When the `sync_acls()` is called later there is no port group found and exception occurs.

  Quick way to reproduce on ML2/OVN:
  - openstack project create test_project
  - openstack create network --project test_project test_network
  - openstack port delete $(openstack port list --network test_network -c ID -f value)  # since this is an empty network only the metadata port should get listed and subsequently deleted
  - openstack security group delete test_project

  So now that you have a network without a metadata port in it and no
  default  security group for the project/tenant that this network
  belongs to run

  neutron-ovn-db-sync-util --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf
  --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini --ovn-
  neutron_sync_mode migrate

  The exeption should occur

  Here is a more realistic scenario how we can run into this with
  ML2/OVS to ML2/OVN migration. I am also including why the code runs
  into it.

  1. ML2/OVS enviroment with a network but no default security group for the project/tenant associated with the network
  2. Perform ML2/OVS to ML2/OVN migration. This migration process will run neutron-ovn-db-sync-util with --migrate
  3. During the sync we first sync port groups[1] from Neutron DB to OVN DB
  4. Then we sync network ports [2]. The process will detect that the network in question is not part of OVN NB. It will create that network in OVN NB db and along with that it will create a metadata port for it(OVN network requires metadataport). The Port_create call will implicitly notify _ensure_default_security_group_handler which will not find securty group for that tenant/project id and create one. Now you have a new security group with 4 new default security group rules.
  5. When sync_acls[4] runs it will pick up those 4 new rules but commit to NB DB will fail since the port_group(aka security group) does not exists in  NB DB

  ===== Ubuntu SRU Details =====
  [Impact]
  See bug description.

  [Test Case]
  Deploy openstack with OVN. Follow steps in "Quick way to reproduce on ML2/OVN" from bug description.

  [Where problems could occur]
  The fix mitigates the occurrence of the runtime exception, however the fix retries to sync port groups one more time, so there is potential for the same runtime exception to be raised.
