[Bug 2003054] Re: [SRU] OVN 22.09.1 point release

[Frode Nordahl]

Brian, thank you for raising this question.

There are unfortunately a number of tests in the OVN testsuite that have
timing issues and as a consequence appear as flaky when run under load
in the Debian and Ubuntu build farms.  The upstream is currently working
through these issues, but it is a sizable undertaking, which will still
take some time to fully fix.

We go through lengths to identify the underlying issue whenever a new
test starts to fail, which can be observed in a recent bash regression
which was caught by us [0].

The listed tests are passing when run on an unloaded system from the
Debian/Ubuntu package sources, so there is no doubt that the
functionality is intact in our composition of bits.  For completeness I
have included the output of a successful test run with the affected
tests [1].

The same tests have been disabled in Debian unstable with bug references
[2][3][4][5][6][7], and I unfortunately did not go through the same
rigor in tying these listings in the stable backport, for which I
apologize.

  [SRU] OVN 22.09.1 point release

Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in ovn source package in Kinetic:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
  supported customers have access to these improvements.
  The update contains the following package updates:

     * ovn 22.09.1

  [Test Case]

  The following SRU process was followed:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/StableReleaseUpdates

  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.
