This merge commit introduces QoS feature into Liberty release of
Neutron.
The feature is documented in: doc/source/devref/quality_of_service.rst
included with the merge patch.
It includes:
- QoS API service plugin with QoS policy and QoS bandwidth limit
(egress) rule support;
- core plugin mechanism to determine supported rule types, with its ML2
implementation;
- new agent extension manager;
- QoS agent extension with pluggable backend QoS drivers (Open vSwitch
and SR-IOV support is included).
To extend network and port core resources with qos_policy_id attribute,
a new ML2 extension driver (qos) was introduced that relies on the QoS
core resource extension (the idea is that eventually we'll get a core
resource extension manager that can be directly reused by core plugins).
Agent-server interaction is based on:
- get_device_details() method that is extended with qos_policy_id;
- a new push/pull mechanism that allows agents and servers to
communicate using oslo.versionedobjects based objects sent on the
wire.
The merge includes the following types of test coverage:
- unit tests;
- functional tests for OVS agent, QoS agent extension, and low level
ovs_lib changes;
- API tests to cover port/network qos_policy_id attribute and new QoS
resources.
The client changes can be found at:
* https://review.openstack.org/189655
* https://review.openstack.org/198277
The team also prepared fullstack test but it needs to wait for client
merge before it can pass in the gate:
* https://review.openstack.org/202492
Gerrit does not show diff for merge changes that did not result in any
conflict, so to facilitate review, rely on the following steps:
- fetch the patch locally
- git fetch origin
- git diff origin/master...
This merge also disables qos extension API tests until the service is
enabled in master gate.
Local changes apart from conflicts:
- updated down_revision for qos migration to reflect master expand head;
- disabled qos API tests with gate_hook.sh until we have it enabled in
master gate;
- bumped oslo.versionedobjects requirement to reflect what is in
openstack/requirements' global-requirements.txt
