My understanding of those race conditions are the following - but I might
be wrong
When we run ovn-nbctl --wait=hv, there is no guarantee that, after
ovn-nbctl returns, conf.db is already updated.
If that ovsdb-server process is very slow (or not scheduled on a busy
system), it might still take some time before the db gets properly updated.
That's the reason for the OVS_WAIT_UNTIL above.
But even after the db gets updated, ovs-vswitchd has to get notified of
that db change and run mirror_configure (sorry the above comment on
mirror_run was wrong) to reconfigure the mirror.
And, again, it might take a while for ovs-vswitchd process to get scheduled
on a busy system.
The only way I found to ensure that ovs-vswitchd had run at least one loop
is to have some appctl command talking to ovs-vswitchd (i.e. ovs-appctl
dpif/show does not show the change, and I did not find any other
appctl/vsctl command to do show it).
I am not sure that "one" ovs-appctl would be enough as it does not
guarantee the run of a full loop in ovs-vswitchd.
This is really hacky, but I do not know any way.
Do you agree with that analysis, and, if yes, do you have any better way to
fix this ?
