Hi,
I finally got some debug logs, truncated after the failure occurs, the
truncated entries just
are repeated updates of the same entry.
So some more light on this, It seems this is a timing issue. The test being run
involves
creating a number of Logical switches (LS), Routers (LR) and Distributed
Router Port
gateways (DR). And then immediately deleting them, with the last created DR
being
deleted first. Our CMs is using the ovsdbapp python lib to do this.
So it occurs to me that perhaps the objects get created in NB, but before they
have been
propagated to SB and to the HV chassis, we get the delete, and this causes
updates to
be sent to the chassis for a logical port that does not exist? Just a
hypothesis.
The ovn-nbctl has synchronization flags (--wait) to guard against such
behavior, does
ovsdbapp I wonder?
In any-case the test fails (we see a runaway conf.db) pretty regularly, but not
every time.
The failure is always observed on the delete operations. If I put a delay after
create and
before delete, then we don't see the failure.
If anyone can shed light on this from the logs would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
So what is very odd here, is that I have used ovn-nbctl to delete the NB
config, so

Yet I still see /etc/openvswitch/conf.db growing with updates for
Logical switch ports that no longer exist!

A shortened version of one entry Could it be that switch ports must be
deleted before
deleting the switch? I was under the impression once a switch is deleted
it's ports get deleted?
Yes. If you delete the switch, the switch ports get deleted too.
After deleting the logical switch (or switch ports) do you see them to
be deleted by
ovn-northd in SB DB ?
Run - ovn-sbctl list port_binding <deleted_port>
or/and
ovn-sbctl list datapath_binding <deleted_lswitch>
I'd suggest you enable jsonrpc debug in ovn-controller and see what's happening.
It would be helpful if you can share the ovn-controller debug logs.
ovn-appctl -t ovn-controller vlog/set jsonrpc:dbg
So in my test I create a simple network then delete it so NB DB and SB DB
are empty.
# ovn-sbctl list port_binding
# ovn-sbctl list datapath_binding
#
The network has a number of LS's and LR's and two Distributed Router (DR) ports
(on
separate LRs). When I just create one DR all seems fine, but when I add the
second into
the mix I get a runaway openvswitch/conf.db but NOT on all chassis. I have 4
chassis
that I can schedule the DR ports to. In this latest test I observed the
runaway conf.db
on pcacn003 & pcacn005. The logs are too large to send in email, is there an
ftp server
that I can upload to?
I will redo with debug enabled and collect updated logs. The conf.db on both
pcacn003 &
pcacn005 is several GBs.
The only way to recover is to stop the OVS/OVN procs, then delete
/etc/openvswitch/conf.db
and restart them.

Have to step out for a bit will look at this when I can
What I can say is that we are using ovsdbapp to configure central, and
I see /etc/openvswitch/conf.db
getting up to several Gb! so much so that systemd times out when you
try start the service using it.
I am also seeing ovs-vswitchd getting a SEGV on a regular basis which
I think is related.
I wondering if this patch might help
[External] : Re: [ovs-dev] [PATCH branch-2.14] python:

up.
I'm not sure. /etc/openvswitch/conf.db is the local ovsdb-server database
and not the OVN database.

If you run a tail on /etc/openvswitch/conf.db, do you see the ct zone
ids toggling between 2 values constantly ?
