Thanks for following this up Aaron! See comments on this patch below. I have no 
additional comments on patch 2.

Cheers,

You are missing the specific flow_result result section. This is from the 
previous patch:

@@ -358,6 +360,27 @@  See also the ``main:run_start`` probe above.
 - ``utilities/usdt-scripts/bridge_loop.bt``


+probe revalidate:flow_result
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Description**:
+This probe is triggered when the revalidator decides whether or not to
+revalidate a flow. ``reason`` is an enum that denotes that either the flow
+is being kept, or the reason why the flow is being deleted. The
+``flow_reval_monitor.py`` script uses this probe to notify users when flows
+matching user-provided criteria are deleted.
+
+**Arguments**:
+
+- *arg0*: ``(enum flow_del_reason) reason``
+- *arg1*: ``(struct udpif *) udpif``
+- *arg2*: ``(struct udpif_key *) ukey``
+
+**Script references**:

It was called FDR_FLOW_LIVE before, which might make more sense. As the flow is 
just NOT deleted. It might or might not have been revalidated. Thoughts?

Looking at the comment from Han on FDR_PURGE, and this patch needing another 
spin, we should probably add it.

We do not filter on the flow itself but on the packet content/keys creating the 
flow.
We might want to clarify this as the actual DP flow might not include., for 
example, the IP fields.

Can we add some details on what kind of filters/format is supported? For 
example no mask support.

We should add a note that the flow_put part is not included when HW offload 
(TC) is used for the kernel datapath, or if DPDK is used.

Maybe change this to “Insert (put) flow to kernel module.” to valid missing tc 
flow put?

This is confusing as, it’s not the flow information, i.e. flow installed, but 
the keys from the packet.

Should we maybe define this with something like this:

Event = IntEnum("flow_del_reason", ["FDR_FLOW_LIVE",
                                    "FDR_FLOW_TIME_OUT",
                                    ...], start=0)

If we do this, we can also use flow_del_reason.FDR_FLOW_LIVE below.

            Can we just not break out of this right away without doing the two 
above lines?

if bytes_left:
   “Can we report that our buffer was truncated?!”

Not sure how to do this, but with 64 bytes being the default the -k option only 
showed in_port() which took me a while to figure out. Maybe 128 would be better 
when -k is configured?

Here we should also define an enum for the probe events, see ‘Event = 
IntEnum("Event”...’ and ‘<EVENT_ENUM>’ in reval_monitor.py

Here we could do “event.reason > flow_del_reason.FDR_FLOW_LIVE”, see comment 
above.

I think we can remove this sleep.

Missing my previous comment on adding a check to make sure we do not lose 
events:

“
Forgot to mention that you probably also want to add some checking to make sure 
you do not lose events.

See __sync_fetch_and_add() below:

+BPF_TABLE("percpu_array", uint32_t, uint64_t, dropcnt, 1);
+
+static struct event_t *get_event(uint32_t id) {
+    struct event_t *event = events.ringbuf_reserve(sizeof(struct event_t));
+
+    if (!event) {
+        uint32_t type = 0;
+        uint64_t *value = dropcnt.lookup(&type);
+        if (value)
+            __sync_fetch_and_add(value, 1);
+
+        return NULL;
+    }
+
+    event->id = id;
+    event->ts = bpf_ktime_get_ns();
+    event->pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
+
+    return event;
+}
“

The other missing part is to include the PID/TID in the output so we can relate 
to which revalidator thread did this (or add the comm with the name).

And finally, the part that got this patch delayed, not adding static OVS 
structure definitions. Which is still the case in this version. For now, you 
should probably copy the get_ovs_definitions() implementation from 
reval_monitor.py.
