Public bug reported:

Hi,

Using Openstack focal/ussuri - ovn version 20.03.1-0ubuntu1.2 and
neutron 2:16.2.0-0ubuntu2.

If "enable_snat" is enabled on an external gateway on a router, it's not
possible to disable it without completely removing said gateway from the
router.

For example :
I have a subnet called subnet_axino_test - 10.0.100.0/24
I run the following :

$ openstack router create router_axino_test
$ openstack router set --disable-snat --external-gateway net_stg-external 
router_axino_test
$ openstack router add subnet router_axino_test subnet_axino_test

And so on OVN, I get nothing :
$ sudo ovn-nbctl list NAT |grep -B5 -A4 10.131.100.0/24

Now, I enable SNAT :
$ openstack router set --enable-snat --external-gateway net_stg-external 
router_axino_test

This correctly adds an OVN SNAT entry as follows :
$ sudo ovn-nbctl list NAT |grep -B5 -A4 10.131.100.0/24

_uuid               : a65cc4b8-14ae-4ce4-b274-10eefdcc51dc
external_ids        : {}
external_ip         : "A.B.C.D"
external_mac        : []
logical_ip          : "10.131.100.0/24"
logical_port        : []
options             : {}
type                : snat

Now, I remove SNAT from the router :
$ openstack router set --disable-snat --external-gateway net_stg-external 
router_axino_test

I confirm this :
$ openstack router show router_axino_test | grep enable_snat
| external_gateway_info   | {"network_id": 
"4fb8304e-7adb-4cc3-bae5-deb968263eb0", "external_fixed_ips": [{"subnet_id": 
"60000d47-1e44-41af-8f64-dd802d5c3ddc", "ip_address": "A.B.C.D"}], 
"enable_snat": false} |

Above, you can see that "enable_snat" is "false". So I would expect OVN to 
_not_ have a NAT entry. Yet, it does :
$ sudo ovn-nbctl list NAT |grep -B5 -A4 10.131.100.0/24

_uuid               : a65cc4b8-14ae-4ce4-b274-10eefdcc51dc
external_ids        : {}
external_ip         : "162.213.34.141"
external_mac        : []
logical_ip          : "10.131.100.0/24"
logical_port        : []
options             : {}
type                : snat

The only way to remove SNAT is to completely remove the external gateway from 
the router, and to re-add it with SNAT disabled :
$ openstack router unset --external-gateway router_axino_test
$ openstack router set --disable-snat --external-gateway net_stg-external 
router_axino_test

Note that this requires removing all the floating IPs from VMs behind
this router, which obviously makes them unreachable - which is less than
ideal in production.

Thanks
