From: Numan Siddique <num...@ovn.org> This patch series tries to improve the time taken to proceess logical flows by caching the expr tree. For large scale deployments with lots of logical flows, the logical flow processing to OpenFlow rules takes a lot of time as it is CPU intensive.
This patch series tries to improve this by caching the expr tree generated for each logical flow so that we don't have to generate the expr tree for each lflow_run(). Below are the details of the OVN resource in my setup No of logical switches - 49 No of logical ports - 1191 No of logical routers - 7 No of logical ports - 51 No of ACLs - 1221 No of Logical flows - 664736 On a chassis hosting 7 distributed router ports and around 1090 port bindings, the no of OVS rules was 921162. Without this patch, the function add_logical_flows() took ~15 seconds. And with this patch it took ~10 seconds. There is a good 34% improvement in logical flow processing. v1 -> v2 ======= * Addressed review comments from Han.
