[ovs-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] Avoid packet drop on LACP bond after link up

Nitin Katiyar nitin.katiyar at ericsson.com
Wed Feb 27 04:56:32 UTC 2019


Problem:
========
On certain Fortville NICs it has been observed that PHY UP detection can
get delayed (sometimes up to 4-5 secs). When the driver fails to fetch
PHY status as UP even though its actually UP,  LACP packets can get
exchanged and LACP slave brought UP. In such a case, the remote end
would start sending traffic on that slave, but OVS drops it, as the
bond-slave is not yet enabled due to PHY DOWN.

Fix:
====
The main intention here is delay LACP negotiation until carrier (PHY)
status is read as UP.

1. In port_run()/bundle_run(), cache the carrier status in
  "struct ofport_dpif"/"struct bond_slave".

2. When carrier state is DOWN, do not send any LACPDUs and
  drop any received LACPDUs.

3. When LACP state changes or LACPDU is received, trigger re-checking
  of carrier-state (in port_run()) by incrementing the connectivity
  sequence number to find out the true carrier state as fast as
  possible.
