creates network (SB datapath changes) and router ports (port_binding
changes for non VIF), the incremental processing would not help much,
because most steps in your test should trigger recompute. It would help if
you create more Fake VMs in each iteration, e.g. create 10 VMs or more on
each LS. Secondly, when VIF port-binding happens on current chassis, the
ovn-controller will still do re-compute, and because you have only 4
compute nodes, so 1/4 of the compute node will still recompute even when
binding a regular VIF port. When you have more compute nodes you would see
incremental processing more effective.

ovn-controller vlog/set file:dbg. There may be too many logs so please
enable it for as short time as any VM with ping failure is reproduced. If
the last step "wait until the test can ping the port" is there then it
should be able to detect the first occurrence if the VM is not reachable in

some rebase/refactor problem caused this. To eliminate this, I'd suggest to
try a branch I created for 2.10 (
https://github.com/hzhou8/ovs/tree/ip12_rebase_on_2.10), which matches the
base test you did which is also 2.10. It may also eliminate compatibility
problem, if there is any, between OVN master branch and OVS 2.10 as you
mentioned is used in the test.

you mentioned were mainly introduced by the Security Group use, if all
ports were put in same group). The incremental processing is expected to be
correct for security-groups, and handling it incrementally because of
address_set and port_group incremental processing. However, since the
testing only relied on the regression tests, I am not 100% sure if the test
coverage was sufficient. So could you try disabling Security Group to rule
out the problem?

I expect that the operations in your test trigger recomputing and the worst
case should be similar performance as withour I-P. It is weird that it
turned out so much slower in your test. There can be some extra overhead
when it tries to do incremental processing and then fallback to full
recompute, but it shouldn't cause that big difference. It might be that for
some reason the main loop iteration is triggered more times unnecessarily.
I'd suggest to compare the coverage counter "lflow_run" between the tests,
and also check perf report to see if the hotspot is somewhere else. (Sorry
that I can't provide full-time help now since I am still on vacation but I
will try to be useful if things are blocked)

the extremely long latency (7 min) was observed without I-P and it didn't

condition change. To confirm if it is same problem, could you:

Hi Numan/Daniel,

I spent some time investigating this problem you reported. Thanks Numan for
the offline help sharing the details.

Although I still didn't reproduce the slowness in my current single node
testing env with almost same steps and ACLs shared by Numan, I think I may
have figured out a highy probable cause of what you have seen.

Here is my theory: there is a difference between the I-P and non-I-P in the
main loop. The non-I-P version checks ofctrl_can_put() before doing any
flow computation (which is introduced to solve a serious performance
problem when there are many OVS flows on a single node, see [1]). When
worked out the I-P version, I found this may not be the best approach,
since there can be new incremental changes coming and we want to process
them in current iteration incrementally, so that we don't need to fallback
to recompute in next iteration. So this logic is changed so that we always
prioritize computing new changes and keeping the desired flow table up to
date, while the in-flight messages to ovs-vswitchd may still pending for an
older version of desired state. In the end the final desired state will be
synced again to ovs-vswitchd. If there are new changes that triggers
recompute again, the recompute (which is always slow) will slow down the
ofctrl_run() which keeps sending old pending messages to ovs-vswitchd by
the same main thread. (But it won't cause the original performance problem
any more because incremental processing engine will not recompute when
there is no input change).

However, when the test scenario triggers recompute frequently, each single
change may take longer to be enforced in OVS, because of this new approach.
The later recompute iterations would slow down the previous computed OVS
flow installation. In your test you used parallel 10, which means at any
point there might be new changes from one client such as creating new
router that triggers recomputing, which can block the OVS flow installation
triggered earlier for another client. So overall you will see much bigger
latency for each individual test iteration.

This can also explain why I didn't reproduce the problem in my
single-client single-node environment, since each iteration is serialized.

To prove this theory, could you help with two tests reusing your
environment? Thanks a lot!

1. Instead of parallelism of 10, try 1, to make sure the test is
serialized. I'd expect the result should be similar w/ v.s. w/o I-P.

2. Try below patch on the I-P version you are testing, to see if the
problem is gone.
