Hi all,


The ovs ran into a problem in our  environment: Flow continuous to upcall(can 
not generate corresponding megaflow) , because of flow_put_on_pmd failed.



flow configuration:

ciagent-9-:/Images/fzt/ovs # ovs-ofctl show br0

OFPT_FEATURES_REPLY (xid=0x2): dpid:000070c7f2cb5874

ciagent-9-:/Images/fzt/ovs # ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0

cookie=0x0, duration=395.501s, table=0, n_packets=717, n_bytes=70266, 
priority=28,ip,in_port=bond0 actions=IN_PORT

cookie=0x0, duration=2015.547s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
priority=29,ip,nw_dst=198.159.208.0/24 actions=output:test

cookie=0x0, duration=2.763s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
priority=29,ip,nw_dst=139.159.208.0/24 actions=output:test



Steps to reproduce the problem:

Step1:

Generate an ip stream into bond,

SIP:1.2.1.2   DIP:130.119.101.60  Type:icmp request



A megaflow will be generated:

recirc_id(0),in_port(2),packet_type(ns=0,id=0),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(dst=130.119.101.60/248.0.0.0,frag=no),
 packets:751, bytes:73598, used:0.730s, actions:2



Step2:

Delete the flow of “nw_dst=139.159.208.0/24”

ovs-ofctl del-flows br0 "table=0,ip,nw_dst=139.159.208.0/24"



Note: The megaflow of 130.119.101.60 will not be changed.





Step3:

Generate another ip stream into bond,

SIP:1.2.1.2   DIP:168.119.102.61  Type:icmp request



Now, We can find that this stream cannot generate the corresponding megaflow. 
It will keep upcalling, and the miss counter in “ovs-appctl dpctl/show” will 
keep increasing. If we open the dpif’s debug, can find continuous log of “File 
exist”.



Root cause analysis:

The key to lookup cls in fast_path_processing(-->dp_netdev_pmd_lookup_flow) is 
different from the one in flow_put_on_pmd(-->dp_netdev_pmd_lookup_flow).





Is there any suggestion to fix this bug? How about the following two 
modifications:

1.       Use the same key to lookup cls in handler thread

2.       Modify the revalidate_ukey__ to delete the megaflow when mask changes

Looking forward to your reply.



Thanks.
