Hi Han,

For the series,
Acked-by: Mark Michelson <[email protected]>

I think this series is good to go in as-is. I'm curious if a future enhancement might be to add an in_out_port tag to flows that use is_chassis_resident(). It might even make sense to eventually deprecate is_chassis_resident() in favor of in_out_port tags since it means not having to parse the expression. What do you think?

With the help of logical_flow's in_out_port tag, we can skip parsing a
big portion of the logical flows in SB DB, which can largely improve
ovn-controller's performance whenever a full recompute is required.

With a scale test topology of 1000 chassises, 20 LSPs per chassis, 20k
lports in total spread acrossing 200 logical switches, connected by a
logical router, the test result before & after this change:

Before:
- lflow-cache disabled:
     - ovn-controller recompute: 2.7 sec
- lflow-cache enabled:
     - ovn-controller recompute: 2.1 sec
     - lflow cache memory: 622103 KB

After:
- lflow-cache disabled:
     - ovn-controller recompute: 0.83 sec
- lflow-cache enabled:
     - ovn-controller recompute: 0.71 sec
     - lflow cache memory: 123641 KB

(note: DP group enabled for both)

So for this test scenario, when lflow cache is disabled, latency reduced
~70%; when lflow cache is enabled, latency reduced ~65% and lflow cache
memory reduced ~80%.

Changes after the RFC patch:
- Rebase on master
- Add ddlog changes
- Add an ovn-northd test case to make sure the tags are added

Han Zhou (4):
   ovn-northd.at: Minor improvement for the dp group test case.
   ovn-sb: Add tags column to logical_flow table of the SB DB.
   ovn-northd: Populate in_out_port in logical_flow table's tags.
   ovn-controller: Skip non-local lflows in ovn-controller before
     parsing.
