RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem: OVS-dpdk: /var/log/openvswitch has wrong permission when OVS gets changed to 2.8 from < 2.8
With 2.7 or older releases /var/log/openvswitch directory has been owned by root,root. This doesn't get changed when changed to 2.8.
[root@netqe5 openvswitch]# ls -ld /var/log/openvswitch
drwxr-x---. 2 root root 4096 Sep 7 03:39 /var/log/openvswitch
The consequence is that ovs-vswitchd.log cannot be opened caused by permission denied.
2017-09-07T07:39:01.566Z|00198|vlog|WARN|failed to open /var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log for logging: Permission denied
-rw-r--r--. 1 openvswitch hugetlbfs 0 Sep 7 03:39 ovs-vswitchd.log
Same issue happened to ovsdb-server.log:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce: Reproducible
1. Either by upgrade or remove existing pre 2.8 OVS
2. Restart OVS
3. Check /var/log/openvswitch permission
Actual results:
It's owned by (root,root) as used to.
Expected results:
Should be owned by (openvswitch,hugetlbfs) with 2.8 OVS
Additional info:
By "rm -rf /var/log/openvswitch" and "systemctl restart openvswitch" we got the right ownership for /var/log/openvswitch:
[root@netqe19 log]# systemctl restart openvswitch
[root@netqe19 log]# ls -ld openvswitch/
drwxr-x---. 2 openvswitch hugetlbfs 54 Sep 7 10:49 openvswitch/
