New versions of neutron for queens has been uploaded to the cosmic and
bionic unapproved queues where they are awaiting acceptance:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=

** Description changed:

  We just ran into a case where the openvswitch agent (local dev destack,
  current master branch) eats 100% of CPU time.
  
  Pyflame profiling show the time being largely spent in
  neutron.agent.linux.ip_conntrack, line 95.
  
  
https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/neutron/agent/linux/ip_conntrack.py#L95
  
  The code around this line is:
  
          while True:
              pool.spawn_n(self._process_queue)
  
  The documentation of eventlet.spawn_n says: "The same as spawn(), but
  it’s not possible to know how the function terminated (i.e. no return
  value or exceptions). This makes execution faster. See spawn_n for more
  details."  I suspect that GreenPool.spawn_n may behave similarly.
  
  It seems plausible that spawn_n is returning very quickly because of
  some error, and then all time is quickly spent in a short circuited
  while loop.

+ SRU details for Ubuntu:
+ -----------------------
+ [Impact]
+ We're cherry-picking a single bug-fix patch here from the upstream 
stable/queens branch as there is not currently an upstream stable point release 
available that includes this fix. We'd like to make sure all of our supported 
customers have access to this fix as there is a significant performance hit 
without it.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ The following SRU process was followed:
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStackUpdates
+ 
+ In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team
+ will run their continuous integration test against the packages that are
+ in -proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required
+ before the proposed packages can be let into -updates.
+ 
+ The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of
+ the executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark
+ ‘verification-done’ until this has happened.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
+ aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.
