Hi Jarno, all,

Sorry for being slow to react.
I'd be glad to test a fix, but I'm unclear if there is one ready to be tested.

Perhasp "xlate: Recirculate also when MPLS POP is implicit." but I'm not sure there has been a follow-up to the discuss between you and Ben? Or is the new clone action possibly taking care of this issue (does not seem so, since datapath dependent, but I might have misunderstood)?

-Thomas

2017-01-06, Jarno Rajahalme:
I sent a patch to do this fix on OVS master. IMO we should also make the datapath more flexible so that it would be able to POP back to IP after PUSH actions on an IP packet in the same action list. But that will not make it to OVS 2.7.

I would appreciate if Thomas could apply the and test!

  Jarno

        I was confused, I in fact tested the patch (branch-2.5)
        on a /different/ setup as the one on which we hit the
        bug, using MPLS over a GRE tunnel port, rather than plain
        MPLS over an eth port.
        Sorry if any confusion arised... I can test on the first
        setup if relevant.


        Maybe the kernel datapath does not support MPLS over a GRE
        tunnel port. Having ‘dmesg’ output for the test run might
        reveal why the actions validation fails.

        The dmesg output was the following:

        [171295.258939] openvswitch: netlink: Flow actions may not
        be safe on all matching packets.

        I've tested the patch on the platform on which the bug was
        initially hit (*not* using MPLS/GRE), and I have the
        following a few times in the logs right after I do an
        "ovs-appctl fdb/flush":

        And dmesg:

        be safe on all matching packets.


    it's complaining about set ipv4 after pop_mpls because it
    doesn't know about the "restored" l3.
    while we can improve the kernel, i guess we need to stick with
    recirc for now.

    This should do it? Does not break any existing tests on
    branch-2.5, but I did not create a test for this yet.

i guess this check needs to be somewhere around "ctx->was_mpls = old_was_mpls" in
affected functions.


Right, as that is where the implicit MPLS POP action happens, when the ‘ctx->xin->flow’ is restored.

        Hi Ben,

        2016-11-30, Ben Pfaff:
        Do you have any idea what in your OpenFlow
        pipeline might do that,
        i.e. is there anything especially tricky in the
        OpenFlow flows?

        Are you willing to show us your OpenFlow flow table?

        The setup involves three OVS bridges connected
        with patch-ports: br-int --
        br-tun -- br-mpls, with the traffic that triggers
        the assert being processed
        by br-int with a NORMAL action (ie. MAC learning).

        The flows in this setup aren't particularly
        tricky, I think, although I'm
        not sure what qualifies as tricky or non-tricky :)

        Anyway, since yesterday I managed to identify the
        event that trigger the
        assert, by adding more logging before the assert
        and displaying the actions
        taken:

        push_mpls clears L3/L4, while pop_mpls re-populates
        them, and then processing the output to port 1 hits
        the assert?

        That's what I'm thinking too.

        Jarno, is this something you have time to look into?
        It'd be great, if
        you do.  I'm way behind.

        I’m looking at this.

        Based on the trace given it seems that:
        1. Packet is received on br-int port 32, which outputs
        it via NORMAL action over a patch port to another
        bridge. The only patch-port on br-int is 2
        (patch-tun). The NORMAL action adds dl_vlan=1.
        2. br-tun receives the packet on in_port 1
        (patch-int), and outputs it on it’s port 2 (patch-to-mpls)
        3. br-mpls receives the packet on it’s in_port 2
        (patch-to-tun), does pop_vlan, and outputs to it’s
        port 21 (ipvpn-pp-out), which is also an patch port.
        4. br-mpls (?) receives the packet on it’s in_port 20
        (ipvpn-pp-in), does
        
dec_ttl,push_mpls:0x8847,load:0x644c0->OXM_OF_MPLS_LABEL[],set_field:b8:2a:72:de:1b:e3->eth_src,set_field:00:17:cb:79:2c:01->eth_dst,output:1

        All this generates a megaflow:
        
set(ipv4(src=10.0.1.23,dst=10.0.0.3,ttl=63)),set(eth(src=b8:2a:72:de:1b:e3,dst=00:17:cb:79:2c:01)),push_mpls(label=410816,tc=0,ttl=63,bos=1,eth_type=0x8847),9

        This is only the beginning part of the trouble-some
        megaflow, in which br-int sends the packet also to
        another port (vlan 3), and as part of that pops the
        MPLS and restores the original ethernet addresses.
        Maybe this would happen with the trace too, if you
        flushed MACs before the trace?

        The patch ports 21 and 20 appear to be in the same
        bridge and patched to each other. Is this the case?

        The crashing megaflow has in_port=5,dl_vlan=3. Is this
        also on br-int?

        Also, OVS 2.6 is a little bit less aggressive about
        avoiding recirculation after mpls operations, and I’d
        be interested to know if your case fails the same way
        with OVS 2.6?

        Thanks,

        Jarno
