When testing force-reload-kmod on XenServer 6.2 running OVS 2.1/2.3 with
bonded LACP configurations, the disruption to data plane connectivity is
much longer than non-bonded configurations.

While debugging, one area that longer than expected was in the dp-ctl
del-dp calls[1]. The earlier dump-dps call only returned "system@ovs-system
".

I straced the calls and was surprised with this call taking over 3s:

But non bonded <1s:

Repeated testing on different bonded servers all took between 3s-5s.
Testing on non-bonded servers was always ~1s.

Within 1s of the del-dp command running, traffic drops from the host. Does
anyone have ideas on why this would take so much longer on a bonded
configuration?
