[ovs-dev] [PATCH ovn 4/4] rhel: Run ovn services with the 'openvswitch' user

Hello

Some comments, that probably are due to me being confused checking the
new repo:

1)

> sed -i 's:\(.*su\).*:\1 ovn ovn:' %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/ovn

I dont see the file %{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/ovn included anywhere.
Anyway, since OVN_USER_ID defaults to openvswitch:openvswitch,
shouldn't this be

sed -i 's:\(.*su\).*:\1 openvswitch openvswitch:'
%{_sysconfdir}/logrotate.d/ovn

What about when the group is hugetlbfs?

2)

#OVN_USER_ID="openvswitch:openvswitch"

Again, what about when the group should be hugetlbfs?

2)

> chown -R $INSTALL_USER:$INSTALL_GROUP $ovn_dbdir
> chown -R $INSTALL_USER:$INSTALL_GROUP $OVN_RUNDIR
> chown -R $INSTALL_USER:$INSTALL_GROUP $ovn_logdir

Since OVN and OVS still share log and run directories (right?, anyway I
dont see where ovn_dbdir and ovn_logdir are set), changing OVN_USER_ID
to a different value than OVS_USER_ID without changing a bunch of other
stuff will break things. Doesn't it make sense to use OVS_USER_ID
instead of introducing OVN_USER_ID until there is a more meaningful
split?

BR
Jaime.

Subject: [PATCH ovn 4/4] rhel: Run ovn services with the 'openvswitch'
user
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 21:58:22 +0530

From: Numan Siddique <nusiddiq at redhat.com>

This patch could have created a new user 'ovn' for ovn services instead
of using 'openvswitch' user. But this would require some amount of work
and
proper testing since the new user 'ovn' should be part of 'openvswitch'
group (to access /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock.). If ovs is compiled
with dpdk,
then it may get tricky (as ovs-vswitchd is run as user -
openvswitch:hugetlbfs).
We can support a new user for 'ovn' services in the future.

Recently the commit [1] in ovs repo added support to run ovn services
with the
'openvswitch' user, but this commit was not applied to ovn repo as we
had
already created a new OVN repo. During the OVS/OVN formal split, we
missed
out on applying the patch [1]. This patch takes some code from [1].

[1] - 94e1e8be3187 ("rhel: run ovn with the same user as ovs").
