Port: add propagationUplinkStatus field by winiciusallan · Pull Request #641 · k-orc/openstack-resource-controller

winiciusallan · 2026-01-12T14:42:17Z

This PR introduces the propagationUplinkStatus

https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/network/v2/index.html#uplink-status-propagation

Notes:

I've decided to keep the default value for that field as false, even if the doc says that the default value is true. The reason is that in environments where this extension is not enabled, we can't update that field and it always returns false, so if we enforce it as true, it may raise an error. So if the user wants to enable it, they must explicitly define it.

edit:

If the extension is enabled in the environment, the default value for this field is the Openstack default value, which is true. Otherwise, it'll be nil

Partial #616

weird... the uplink_status_propagation extension was not added to the devstack deployment. I tested locally and it only works by setting Q_ML2_PLUGIN_EXT_DRIVERS directly.

Has anyone ever seen something like this?

winiciusallan · 2026-01-13T17:28:42Z

Ok, here we go. I needed to add the neutron plugin on CI so that devstack can run this line and enable uplink-status-propagation accordingly. However, it looks like that Dalmatian release doesn't enable the ability to update propagateUplinkStatus by default on Devstack like did in newer releases, so the CI ended up failing. I believe that adding a line explicitly enabling uplink_status_propagation_updatable extension should work.

About the job failing on Flamingo I really don't get the why. The E2E job has failed in domain-import-error tests.

cc. @mandre I'll wait for you feedback before making any additional change.

We've discussed this privately already, after you brought the issue to my attention: gophercloud implements the PropagateUplinkStatus in the response Port structure as a bool while it should really be a *bool with omitempty, and because of this we can't reliably know the status for PropagateUplinkStatus. I suggest that until the issue if fixed in gophercloud, we make that field immutable.

It's been a while and I don't remember all of the discussion. From reading the PR comments again, I believe we're past the gophercloud limitation (thanks to custom unmarshalling) but we still need to make the field immutable because dalmatien doesn't support updating the field. If that's effectively the case, we should add that as a comment so we know when we can change that behavior.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I'll add this comment.

I re-ran this job and the error is gone. I was most likely a flake (bound to happen as we add more tests).

@mandre let me know when you think it is ready to go, I can squash the commits to make the PR cleaner. :)

+func (p *PortExt) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) error {


This custom unmarshaller omits portsecurity.PortSecurityExt or portsbinding.PortsBindingExt meaning that they'll always have the zero value (it's weird that we do not detect this bug via the tests, don't we have coverage for those fields?).

It is something that I was in doubt about... I'm not sure, and if you can correct me if I'm wrong, I'll appreciate it, but it looks like Gophercloud uses reflection to populate the result rather than simply using a json.Unmarshal, am I wrong?

https://github.com/gophercloud/gophercloud/blob/main/results.go#L70

You're right that they will always have the zero value, but maybe in the above phase, the fields are populated using reflection. I need to better understand this. Any initial thought?

A well crafted test should give us the answer.

Sorry for the late response.

The idea of this test is to show that using ports.Get(...).ExtractInto(&p), the fields are populated even though they're not explicitly set in the UnmarshalJSON function, as you highlighted in your initial comment, unlike using json.Unmarshal directly, which calls the custom Unmarshal and ignores the PortSecurityEnabled and PortBindings.

https://go.dev/play/p/iUMKGSjAFoo

After understanding more about how the parse actually works, I've decided to add PortSecurityExt and PortsBindingExt to the Unmarshal function.

This helps us especially when listing ports because we are not using the default Gophercloud's Extract mechanisms, and we do need to populate fields using the unmarshaler function.

We shouldn't have to update ListPort I believe.

IIRC, there was a failing test, and the solution was to change the ListPort function, but I'll double-check this to confirm what exactly the error was.

After discussion, we found a potential bug in Gophercloud, and a PR has been created. More information is there.

@mandre I'm working again to have this PR merged. A lot of work has been done since the last commit, so I'll rebase and start addressing the comments.

We have a missing pointer on Gophercloud, this is causing a misbehavior. For workarouding purposes, was added a new struct to support a pointer for that field. Tests were also fixed.
