Hi all, In the last few week I was working on hardware offload support for openvswitch. The idea is to leverage SR-IOV technology with OVS control plane management. Just last month the ovs community merged all the required patches to enable this feature [1] should be in OVS-2.8.0. I was working on the required patches to enable this in OpenStack. On the neutron side the RFE approved [2] and the neutron patch is already merged [3] On the OS-VIF side the patch is merged [4] On the Third party CI side we have a Mellanox CI which is currently commenting on os-vif [5] ( we will extend it to nova and neutron as well)
The missing piece is the nova patch [6] I just notice that this week is feature freeze in OpenStack and I would like to request an exception for this feature. I will appreciate if nova-core reviewers will review it. ( Jay , Sean and Jan already review it several times and I think it is close to be merged) [1] - https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commit/bf090264e68d160d0ae70ebc93d59bc09d34cc8b [2] - https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1627987 [3] - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/275616/ [4] - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/460278/ [5] - http://52.169.200.208/25/485125/6/check-os-vif/OVS_HW_offload/aaf2792/ [6] - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/398265/
