For context of the review, I had asked for this "standalone" test for
garp-max-timeout so that we can backport the following patch to 21.12:

Nit: We don't really need tcpdump, we could use the ovs-pcap utility
directly.  But it's not mandatory I guess, we already have a bunch of
tests using tcpdump.

Missing "check .." for all these.

Please use fmt_pkt instead.

Why do we need this?

Using OVN_WAIT_PATCH_PORT_FLOWS makes the patch harder to backport to
21.12.  Do we really need this?

Why do we need to remove the "chassis" option on lr0?

This checks that one ARP packet is there, why?  The test is about
garp-max-timeout.

Why is this needed?

This doesn't actually test the timeout value.  It will wait until 10
packets are received; they could be received at any intervals and the
test will pass as long as it doesn't take more than OVS_TIMEOUT to
receive all 10 packets.

The comment says "2s" but we set the value to 1 second.

I'm still confused about why we keep changing the options:chassis value.

Same comment as above about not really testing the timeout.

I'm not sure whether we can do better than: clear pcap file, configure
"x seconds" timeout, sleep for "x * (y + 1)" seconds, check that the the
pcap contains at least y arp packets.

But that might be enough.  We could also tag the test as "unstable"
(TAG_UNSTABLE) pro-actively so that it gets rechecked on failure in
GitHub actions.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Dumitru
