With the help of a new column in Logical_Flow table that stores ingress/egress
lport information, ovn-controller can avoid parsing a big portion of the
logical flows in SB DB, which can largely improve ovn-controller's performance
whenever a full recompute is required.
With a scale test topology of 1000 chassises, 20 LSPs per chassis, 20k
lports in total spread acrossing 200 logical switches, connected by a
logical router, the test result before & after this change:
Before:
- lflow-cache disabled:
- ovn-controller recompute: 2.7 sec
- lflow-cache enabled:
- ovn-controller recompute: 2.1 sec
- lflow cache memory: 622103 KB
After:
- lflow-cache disabled:
- ovn-controller recompute: 0.83 sec
- lflow-cache enabled:
- ovn-controller recompute: 0.71 sec
- lflow cache memory: 123641 KB
(note: DP group enabled for both)
So for this test scenario, when lflow cache is disabled, latency reduced
~70%; when lflow cache is enabled, latency reduced ~65% and lflow cache
memory reduced ~80%.

Han Zhou (4):
ovn-northd.at: Minor improvement for the dp group test case.
ovn-sb: Add tags column to logical_flow table of the SB DB.
ovn-northd: Populate in_out_port in logical_flow table's tags.
ovn-controller: Skip non-local lflows in ovn-controller before
parsing.
