Hi Chaudron, thanks for your reply. Considerthe following scenario:
- set a net device alias name (such as *enpxx*) into ovs.
- |OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW -> ||dev_get_by_name can query the net device using
*enpxx* name, but the dev->name that return is *ensxx* name. the |net_device|struct including: ``` |struct net_device {
char name[IFNAMSIZ];
RH_KABI_REPLACE(struct hlist_node name_hlist,
struct netdev_name_node *name_node)
...
|``` name_hlist include enpxx and ensxx name and both of them point to
the same net_device, the net_device's name is ensxx. So when using
*enpxx* name to query net device, the ||net device's name that return is
*ensxx* name.|
Then, openvswitch.ko will save the net device that name is*ensxx* to a hash
table. So this will cause the below process:
- ovs can'tobtain the enpxx net device by |OVS_VPORT_CMD_GET.|
-|dpif_netlink_port_poll will get a |notification after |OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW|,
but the vport's name is ensxx. ovs will query the ensxx net device from
interface table, but nothing. So ovs will run the port_del operation.
- this will cause|OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW| and OVS_VPORT_CMD_DEL operation to run
repeatedly.
So the above issue can be avoided by the patch.

Hi Jun, not sure if I get the point here, as ovs_vport_name() translates into
vport->dev->name.
So are we trying to catch the interface rename between the dev_get_by_name(),
and the code below? This rename could happen at any other place, so this check
does not guarantee anything. Or am I missing something?
err = -ENODEV;
goto error_free_vport;
}
