Description Sergii Golovatiuk 2017-12-13 17:33:54 UTC 
Description of problem:
A lot of services such as puppet/ansible invoke 'reload' as part of configuration manager. However, 'systemctl reload openvswitch' times out, because of timeout of openvswitch.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openvswitch-2.8.1-2.1fc28.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
systemctl stop openvswitch
systemctl start openvswitch
systemctl reload openvswitch

or 
bash -xxx /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl --no-ovsdb-server --no-monitor --system-id=random restart

from ovs-vswitchd.service Unit

Actual results:
It times out (TimeoutSec=300).

Expected results:
Restart with restored flows.

The issue seems to be addressed by upstream with https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commit/ea36b04688f37cf45b7c2304ce31f0d29f212d54 can we please fix packaging?

Since ovs-team is not maintaining openvswitch RPM we have in RDO (which are based on Fedora Rawhide SRPM) I've backported that fix from ovs master, it will be openvswitch-2.8.1-3.1fc28.el7 in RDO Queens deps repo.
