Bug#858418: openvswitch-switch: deadlock in /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ifupdown.sh

[Philippe Latu]

Hello,

I experienced the same issue on many routers with openvswitch-switch 
internal interfaces (aka SVIs).

Commenting out the status test in 
'/usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ifupdown.sh' solves the problem.

#if /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch status > /dev/null 2>&1; then :; else
#    /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start
#fi

At my low level of understanding, this test conflicts with systemd 
networking initialization process.

HTH,
