Build Update for dceara/ovs
-------------------------------------

Build: #105
Status: Passed

Duration: 14 mins and 41 secs
Commit: ceb3b85 (review-pws247768-ovsdb-idl-signaling)
Author: Ilya Maximets
Message: ovsdb-idl: Fix the database update signaling if it has never been connected.

The symptom of this issue is that OVS bridge looses its IP address on
restart.

Simple reproducer:
 0. start ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd
 1. ovs-vsctl add-br br0
 2. ifconfig br0 10.0.0.1 up
 3. ovs-appctl -t ovs-vswitchd exit
 4. start ovs-vswitchd back.

After step #3 ovs-vswitchd is down, but br0 interface exists and
has configured IP address.  After step #4 there is no IP address
on the port br0.

What happened:
1. ovsdb-cs connects to the database via ovsdb-idl and requests
   database lock.
   --> get_schema for _Server database
   --> lock request

2. ovsdb-cs receives schema for the _Server database.  And sends
   monitor request.
   <-- schema for _Server
   --> monitor_cond for _Server

3. ovsdb-cs receives lock reply.
   <-- locked
   At this point ovsdb-cs generates OVSDB_CS_EVENT_TYPE_LOCKED
   event and passes it to ovsdb-idl.  ovsdb-idl increases change_seqno.

4. ovsdb_idl_has_ever_connected() is 'true' now, because change_seqno
   is not zero.

5. ovs-vswitchd decides that it has connection with database and
   all the initial data, therefore initiates configuration of bridges.
   bridge_run():ovsdb_idl_has_ever_connected() --> true

6. Since monitor request for the Open_vSwitch database is not even
   sent yet, the database is empty.  This leads to removal of all the
   ports and all other resources.

7. When data finally received, ovs-vswitchd re-creates bridges and
   ports, but IP addresses can not be restored.

While splitting out ovsdb-cs from ovsdb-idl one part of the logic
was lost.  Particularly, before the split, ovsdb-idl updated
change_seqno only in MONITORING state.

Restoring the logic by updating the change_seqno only if may send
transaction, i.e. lock is ours and ovsdb-cs is in the MONITORING
state.  This matches with the main purpose of increasing change_seqno
at this point, i.e. to force the client to re-try the transaction.
With this change ovsdb_idl_has_ever_connected() remains 'false'
until the first monitor reply with the actual data received.

This issue was reported several times during the last couple of weeks.
