Datapaths, ports, igmp groups and load balancers can now
be iterated over in parallel in order to speed up the lflow
generation. This decreases the time needed to generate the
logical flows by a factor of 4+ on a 6 core/12 thread CPU
without datapath groups - from 0.8-1 microseconds per flow
down to 0.2-0.3 microseconds per flow on average.

The decrease in time to compute lflows with datapath groups
enabled is ~2 times for the same hardware - from an average of
2.4 microseconds per flow to 1.2 microseconds per flow.

Tested for on an 8 node, 400 pod K8 simulation resulting
in > 6K flows.

Hi Anton,

I tested the first 3 patches applying  on top of the latest master.
(The patch series
needs a rebase though). I noticed a few issues with clang.

ovn-northd is crashing with the below stack trace

I pushed a commit to my github repo force enabling parallel
computation and I see many tests fail
and the reason is this crash. You can download the test log tar file
and inspect it if you want.

But the crash is seen 100% of the time on my local machine.

I have not noticed any CLANG specific issues except its compile time thread 
lock detection being a bit on the broken side.

wait_for_work is just a wrapper around sem_wait(), so the only way it can 
core-dump is if it somehow is given a null pointer.

I do not see how this can happen, but I can dig into it. Can you give me the 
test numbers on which you see this every time?

A.


Please see below for a few comments.

Thanks
Numan

I see a problem here. Lets say add_worker_pool() returns NULL for some
reason. Then we don't allocate memory for 'build_lflows_pool', but the
function build_lswitch_and_lrouter_flows() after calling
init_lflows_thread_pool()
accesses 'build_lflows_pool'.

Since init_lflows_thread_pool() is called only if 'use_parallel_build' is set,
I'd expect add_worker_pool() to not return NULL.

So I'd suggest adding
ovs_assert(pool) here.
