Fixes #658
Summary
This change fixes a crash in
dcnm_interfaceduringstate=overriddenwhen the module processes non-deletable Ethernet interfaces returned by NDFC without a resolvable underlay policy source.Problem
In the deferred override flow, the module assumes that every non-deletable Ethernet interface has:
That is not always true.
With NDFC 4.2, ISN and External fabrics can return physical Ethernet interfaces with:
deletable: falseunderlayPolicies: nullWhen those interfaces enter the deferred path, the module crashes with:
Root Cause
The deferred flow treats all
deletable=falseEthernet interfaces as if they were resolvable later viaunderlayPolicies[].source.That assumption is invalid for protected or unmanaged Ethernet interfaces in ISN and External fabrics.
