Description Salvatore Daniele 2021-12-07 15:46:16 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1982743 +++

Description of problem:

When restarting ovs, if it contains a flow that matches igmp traffic, ovs-ctl fails to restore the flows (and in fact all flows on the bridge are lost).

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

Tested with latest (and upstream) openvswitch2.15

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl start openvswitch
2. ovs-vsctl add-br br0
3. ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "ip,nw_proto=2 actions=drop"
4. /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl restart openvswitch

Actual results:

 /usr/share/openvswitch/scripts/ovs-ctl restart

Restoring saved flows ovs-ofctl: /tmp/ovs-save.FmwE0BbwhG/br0.flows.dump:2: field igmp missing value

$ ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0
(Does not contain flows after offending flow)

Expected results:

Error should not be generated and flows should be restored

Comment 3 Rick Alongi 2022-03-08 15:19:22 UTC
Please confirm that this BZ is for the fix in openvswitch2.13-2.13.0-113.el7fdp.  I'm asking because comment #1 indicates it for errata
https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/89442 which is for package openvswitch2.13-2.13.0-162.el8fdp.

Comment 4 Rick Alongi 2022-03-08 15:22:41 UTC
For clarification, the question is: is this BZ for the fix in OVS for el7 or in el8 because there is no errata for el7.

Comment 5 Rick Alongi 2022-03-09 12:26:53 UTC
I am marking this as Verified (see notes below).  I confirmed that this fix is for el7 as the BZ that added the fix to OVS 2.13 for RHEL-8 is [1] which was part of FDP 22.A OVS 2.13 RHEL-8 errata [2].

I believe this BZ should be removed from FDP 22.B OVS 2.13 RHEL-8 errata [3].
