Public bug reported: After (re)starting the L3 agent, a failure during L3NATAgentWithStateReport.periodic_sync_routers_task was encountered. This resulted in a Python traceback being dumped to the log ending with "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable". The error repeats every minute or so. (See below.)
While the error persists, no routers are provisioned by the L3 agent. It just keeps failing and failing and failing in an seemingly infinite loop. The fix/workaround was to remove a random router from the L3 agent having problems, like so: $ neutron l3-agent-router-remove <uuid-of-l3-agent-having-problems> <uuid-of-some-router> It did not seem to matter exactly which of the many routers scheduled to run on the problematic L3 agent that was removed in this way. The removal itself seemed to get rid of the blockage, allowing the L3 agent to start normal operations shortly after.
