** Description changed:
[Impact]
Netlink calls to the kernel can return more than 16k bytes (they can
return 32k on newer kernels). The pyroute2 library has a default buffer
size of 16k and fails to read the data when kernel response data
overflows this.
One example of where users encounter this is booting OpenStack instances
with SRIOV when there are more than 32 VFs, as seen in the original
problem description (included below).
[Test Case]
Use an SRIOV capable card and enable more than 32 VFs on a modern
kernel. Attempt to launch an instance using OpenStack as follows:
1. Create example network:
$ juju switch openstack
$ source ~/deploy/novarc
$ openstack network create \
--provider-physical-network sriovfabric \
--provider-segment 300 \
--provider-network-type vlan \
test-sriov
$ openstack subnet create --network test-sriov \
--no-dhcp \
--gateway none \
--subnet-range 192.168.1.0/24 test-sriov
2. Create ports over virtual function:
$ juju switch openstack
$ source ~/deploy/novarc
$ openstack port create \
--network test-sriov \
--vnic-type direct \
sriov-vf1
$ openstack server create \
--image bionic-kvm \
--flavor m1.small \
--network ext-net-300 \
--port sriov-vf1 \
--key-name ubuntu-keypair \
--availability-zone nova:cmp4az1cz20300kvs.mgt.pst.stg.tlc.example.com \
sriov-vf1
3. The instance stalls in build state (virsh list shows paused VM) and
drops to ERROR
[Where problems could occur]
Problems may occur in existing customers already using openstack to
schedule SRIOV instances and may show up as failure to build instances.
Additional problems could include the increased memory usage of the nova
processes which occurs by increasing the default buffer size. For
tightly spec'd systems with small memory allocated to the host, this
could further eat into any margin available and push memory usage over
the edge.

- - apply environment config as above
- - create networking and the instance
- Create example network:
- $ juju switch openstack
- $ source ~/deploy/novarc
- $ openstack network create \
- --provider-physical-network sriovfabric \
- --provider-segment 300 \
- --provider-network-type vlan \
- test-sriov
-
- $ openstack subnet create --network test-sriov \
- --no-dhcp \
- --gateway none \
- --subnet-range 192.168.1.0/24 test-sriov
-
- Create ports over virtual function:
- $ juju switch openstack
- $ source ~/deploy/novarc
- $ openstack port create \
- --network test-sriov \
- --vnic-type direct \
- sriov-vf1
-
- $ openstack server create \
- --image bionic-kvm \
- --flavor m1.small \
- --network ext-net-300 \
- --port sriov-vf1 \
- --key-name ubuntu-keypair \
- --availability-zone nova:cmp4az1cz20300kvs.mgt.pst.stg.tlc.example.com \
