Hi Brady,

To better assess the impact of this patch 47739, could someone from your team 
please help us identify the following:
Regression: Is this bug a regression of functionality/performance/feature 
compared to Boron?
Severity: Could you elaborate on the severity of this bug?  Is this a BLOCKER 
such that we cannot release Boron-SR1 without it?  Is there a workaround such 
that we can write a release note?
Testing: Could you also elaborate on the testing of this patch?  How 
extensively has this patch been tested?  Is it covered by any unit tests or 
system tests?
Impact: Does this fix impact any dependent projects?

Best Regards,
An Ho

Here is the patch in stable/boron:

    https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/47739/

And here is the associated bug:

    https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7039

This is being tested in OPNFV now. Once successful, we'll merge the patch and 
close the bug.

Regards,

Brady

We did some more testing with more debug logs and found the problem.

The rsp (rendered service path, the actual service chain) is being created 
correctly, but we see it gets deleted 1 second later, before the netvirt 
classifier is created, thus the log message by netvirt that the rsp doesn't 
exist.

We investigated further to see why/who deletes the rsp. We figured out that 
tacker creates everything correctly for the first rsp and then starts creating 
a second rsp. When tacker is creating the second rsp, it modifies the sff 
(service function forwarder), which currently causes SFC to delete the rsp.

If the sff is deleted or if certain fields are modified, the rsp should be 
deleted. But in this case, the sff mods are minimal and the rsp should not be 
deleted. So the fix to sfc is when an sff is modified, only delete the rsp when 
absolutely necessary.

I can have this fix ready on Friday mid-day GMT+1. Will this still be in time 
for boron SR1?

Brady

Hi Brady and SFC Team,

Would your team be able to provide the full logs with trace enabled to help 
address Sam's concerns with missing RSP, etc.

I reassigned this bug back to sfc. netvirt can't do anything without an RSP and 
netvirt does not create RSP's either. That needs to be debugged why the RSP 
isn't there - either wrong name given or simply doesn't exist at the time the 
acl is requested.
Full logs with trace enabled for sfc and netvirt should provide the info to 
find the problem.=

Hi Sam and NETVIRT Team,

Could you please provide us some insight for bug 7039 [1].  Does your team have 
plans to provide a fix for Boron-SR1?  What is the ETA for merging the fix or 
should we retarget the bug for Boron-SR2 instead?  Please note that a dependent 
end user (OPNFV Colorado 2.0) will be impacted by this blocker issue.

Best Regards,
An Ho

Robert,

We wanted to get this fix into OPNFV Colorado 2.0 which releases October 27, 
but I doubt that will be possible. OPNFV Colorado 3.0 is scheduled for December 
1, but ODL Boron SR2 will release December 15, so if the fix isnt in ODL Boron 
SR2, we'll completely miss OPNFV Colorado if we want to use an "official" build.

If it wont be possible to get this fix in ODL Boron SR1, then we'll have to use 
a distro taken from ODL Boron post SR1. Personally I dont mind doing this, but 
this makes others in OPNFV nervous, since these sorts of builds are usually 
"permanent".

Manuel did a great analysis of this problem. He even gave stack traces of where 
the problem is. Ive been at the OpenStack summit and havent had time to try to 
fix it. If we could get an idea of how complicated it would be to fix the 
problem, that would probably help us decide how to proceed. If its a simple 
fix, then maybe we could try to get it into SR1. Otherwise we'll just have to 
go with an ODL post SR1 build.

Thanks,

Brady
