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)

Given everything else done here and the change in nova is (1) a single
change and (2) self-contained and (3) relatively uncomplicated, I'm OK
with this. Please create a blueprint in nova so we can track it as a
feature since that's what it is.

Thanks,
