Creating a subnet is failed with a subnetpool when the min_prefixlen of subnetpool is not set.
[root@EXTENV-10-254-8-11 ~]# neutron subnetpool-create ww_v4_subnetpool1 --pool-prefix 172.1.0.0/16
neutron CLI is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Use openstack CLI instead.

I think when the min_prefixlen is not set,it is better to set it to be the prefixken(16) of pool_prefix (172.1.0.0/16) by default.And when the min_prefixlen is set(as the following test result),it should be checked whether it is bigger than the min prefixlen of pool prefix.
[root@EXTENV-10-254-8-11 ~]# neutron subnetpool-create --min-prefixlen 16 --pool-prefix 172.2.0.0/24 ww_v4_subnetpool2

A fix for this merged a few weeks ago and may need to be backported:
