test:
[sig-network] pods should successfully create sandboxes by getting pod 

is failing frequently in CI, see search results:
https://search.ci.openshift.org/?maxAge=168h&context=1&type=bug%2Bjunit&name=&maxMatches=5&maxBytes=20971520&groupBy=job&search=%5C%5Bsig-network%5C%5D+pods+should+successfully+create+sandboxes+by+getting+pod


FIXME: Replace this paragraph with a particular job URI from the search results to ground discussion.  A given test may fail for several reasons, and this bug should be scoped to one of those reasons.  Ideally you'd pick a job showing the most-common reason, but since that's hard to determine, you may also chose to pick a job at random.  Release-gating jobs (release-openshift-...) should be preferred over presubmits (pull-ci-...) because they are closer to the released product and less likely to have in-flight code changes that complicate analysis.

FIXME: Provide a snippet of the test failure or error from the job log

There are other "similar" tests failing which might be caused by the same underlying issue:
- [sig-network] pods should successfully create sandboxes by other
- [sig-network] pods should successfully create sandboxes by reading container
- [sig-network] pods should successfully create sandboxes by writing network status

Assigning to Tim.

--- Additional comment from Eric Paris on 2020-10-12 15:00:26 UTC ---

This bug has set a target release without specifying a severity. As part of triage when determining the importance of bugs a severity should be specified. Since these bugs have not been properly triaged we are removing the target release. Teams will need to add a severity before setting the target release again.

There looks to be a problem with the test itself that it categorizes "error getting pod: pods "pod1" not found" as a failure, when really that is usually because a pod was deleted right after it was created, so the sandbox creation cant find it anymore. An example here:

https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/origin-ci-test/pr-logs/pull/openshift_ovn-kubernetes/301/pull-ci-openshift-ovn-kubernetes-master-e2e-ovn-hybrid-step-registry/1315650856250511360

ovnkube adds the port, then sees a delete 1 second later:

We should fix the test to remove false positives, then recheck the CI afterwards. David, can you create a bug/fix for this test and link it to this bug please?

For some reason the delete came in 23 seconds later...investigating

--- Additional comment from Tim Rozet on 2020-11-11 14:58:35 UTC ---

So it turns out in OVN we could have a case where we have a series of events like this:
1. pod add happens (ovnkube-node is waiting for annnotation from ovnkube-master)
2. ovnkube-master annotates pod
3. ovnkube-node begins cmdAdd CNI
4. pod delete happens (ovnkube-master deletes the LSP)
5. ovnkube-node in cmdAdd is stuck waiting for 20 seconds for openflow flow to show up for the now deleted pod

This results in a failed to add pod time of over 20 seconds. Really we should be able in ovnkube-node to detect the pod was deleted somehow and then cancel the waiting for flows. Similarly we also wait for annotation for some time, we could cancel the wait there as well.

The new failures look like they have nothing to do with ovn-kubernetes. I can see this happens:

tl;dr the pod is deleted right after it is created, and kube runtime still tries to make the sandbox anyway. At that point crio calls multus and multus cannot find the pod so it errors out. ovn-kubernetes never even gets to CNI ADD the pod. This looks like either expected behavior and the test needs to be tweaked or a bug in kubelet.
