[SRU] ovs 2.9.2

[James Page]

[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:

   * openvswitch 2.9.2

[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.

Hello James, or anyone else affected,

Accepted openvswitch into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/2.9.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

After installing this upgrade, my openstack neutron services didn't start anymore.
Neutron log shows:
2018-10-18 08:08:10.573 16703 CRITICAL neutron [-] Unhandled error: ImportError: No module named compat
...
2018-10-18 08:04:30.302 14895 ERROR neutron File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ovs/db/custom_index.py", line 12, in <module>
2018-10-18 08:04:30.302 14895 ERROR neutron from ovs.compat import sortedcontainers
2018-10-18 08:04:30.302 14895 ERROR neutron ImportError: No module named compat

Downgrading openvswitch-common, openvswitch-switch and python-openvswitch to version python-openvswitch solved the problem.

I found https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619712 which suggests the issue is due to a change in openvswitch 2.9.1.

[James Page (james-page)]

I see the patch we need to pick - doing so now with a revised upload.

I confirm the issue I reported in comment #7 has been fixed.
After installing openvswitch-common, openvswitch-switch, python-openvswitch 2.9.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 the neutron-openvswitch-agent continued working and after restarting neutron-openvswitch-agent network traffic between running instances was working again.
Restarting the neutron nodes also worked, neutron-ovs-cleanup.log did not complain about the missing compat module anymore.
(leaving formal verification to the openstack team, as mentioned in the bug description)
