Description Aniket Bhat 2020-03-03 19:11:06 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1809738 +++

Description of problem:

When a node is deprovisioned/deleted from the cluster, the southbound db's chassis record for this node doesn't get deleted. This results in stale geneve tunnels and vswitchd flows on the other nodes in the cluster. At scale, this can mean thousands of tunnels and unused stale flows.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a ovn cluster
2. Add a few nodes
3. Delete one node
4. Note that the tunnels corresponding to the deleted node and the ovs flows for this remote ip endpoint stay in ovs' on the other nodes.

Actual results:

Flows and tunnels corresponding to the node being deleted stay as stale entries.

Expected results:

All flows and the corresponding tunnels for the node being deleted are cleaned up when the node goes away.

Comment from Russell Bryant:

Just some more detail ... ovn-controller will delete its associated Chassis record if it shuts down gracefully. I'm not sure that's ever the case, though. The fallback is that something else needs to do the cleanup. ovn-kubernetes is already watching Nodes, so it can add this as another thing it does when syncing Nodes or when it sees a Node get deleted.

This will require knowing which Chassis record in the ovn southbound database corresponds to a Node. ovn-kubernetes already ensures that the hostname field of the Chassis is equal to the Node name.
