Hi Sukhdev, Dave, I think this backport is acceptable.
In Kilo release, neutron is in a middle way of splitting vendor codes to separate repositories. The master fix is available at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/309622/ and as far as I checked, stable/kilo fix are split into two parts: - networking-arista (db_api code): https://review.openstack.org/#/c/309651/ - neutron : https://review.openstack.org/#/c/309653/ It satisfies the guideline of backport of split-out vendor code [1]. One point I'd like to mention is that this change requires a new release of networking-arista because the change uses new method from networking-arista. Do you need to update the vendor requirements.txt file [2] ? Otherwise it looks good.
