Hi everyone,
Last month, commit d7514abe1 (acl-log: Log the direction (logical
pipeline) of the matching ACL.) was added to the main branch of OVN.
This commit was made because of the issue report at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992641 .
At the time the change was added, it was not considered for a backport
to OVN 21.12 because it modifies the contents of ACL logs. The fear was
that if people have written parsers for ACL logs, the addition of a new
field could cause issues. This is not a very friendly thing to do during
a minor update.
However, the change was made in an attempt to correct a deficiency in
the ACL logs. Without the change, it appears that there are duplicate
ACL logs since there is nothing to distinguish the pipeline on which the
ACL matched. Also, there is no documented contract about ACL log format;
they are intended to be human readable, and that's all.
My question is if the community would be OK with backporting this fix to
OVN 21.12 in light of the change to the ACL log contents. Please let me
know what you think.
Thanks,
Mark Michelson
