This series fixes a few issues uncovered during the 25.09.0 pre-release testing: - the SB.Datapath_Binding.type schema was not backwards compatible (patch 1/4) - the way "old-style" Datapath_Binding records were updated/re-created upon upgrade could cause infinite looping in ovn-northd continuously trying to reconcile the SB contents (patch 2/4) - SB.Static_Mac_Binding updates would be processed as change alerts by ovn-northd but that's not really needed because ovn-northd is the only entity who should be writing to those (patch 3/4) - when constructing the link between router and switch 'struct ovn_port' peers ovn-northd was incorrectly querying the ports map sometimes selecting "not bound" ovn ports in favor of "bound" ones (with a ovn_datapath pointer set). This could lead to some of the logical flows being updated *after* the transaction that recreated datapath bindings happened, potentially affecting traffic. (patch 4/4)
Patches 1-2 should go to main and 25.09. Patches 3-4 should be backported to all stable branches. Changes in v2: - v1 only had the schema update, v2 now includes fixes to all the issues uncovered while debugging Ilya's bug report: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2025-August/425790.html Dumitru Ceara (4): ovn-sb: Make Datapath_Binding.type optional to avoid upgrade issues. northd, controller: Reconcile SB datapaths to new type in a single run. northd: Omit alert for write-only SB.Static_Mac_Binding table. northd: Always prefer bound ovn_port versions when available. lib/ovn-util.c | 27 ++++++++-------------- lib/ovn-util.h | 5 ++-- northd/en-datapath-sync.c | 3 ++- northd/northd.c | 48 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------ northd/northd.h | 4 ++++ northd/ovn-northd.c | 4 ++++ ovn-sb.ovsschema | 5 ++-- 7 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) -- 2.50.1 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
