[Bug 1732067] [NEW] openvswitch firewall flows cause flooding on integration bridge

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Environment: OpenStack Newton
Driver: ML2 w/ OVS
Firewall: openvswitch

In this environment, we have observed OVS flooding network traffic
across all ports in a given VLAN on the integration bridge due to the
lack of a FDB entry for the destination MAC address. Across the large
fleet of 240+ nodes, this is causing a considerable amount of noise on
any given node.

In this test, we have 3 machines:

Client: fa:16:3e:e8:59:00 (10.10.60.2)
Server: fa:16:3e:80:cb:0a (10.10.60.9)
Bystander: fa:16:3e:a0:ee:02 (10.10.60.10)

The server is running a web server using netcat:

while true ; do sudo nc -l -p 80 < index.html ; done

Client requests page using curl:

ip netns exec qdhcp-b07e6cb3-0943-45a2-b5ff-efb7e99e4d3d curl
http://10.10.60.9/

We should expect to see the communication limited to the client and
server. However, the captures below reflect the server->client responses
being broadcast out all tap interfaces connected to br-int in the same
local vlan:

^^^ On the bystander tap we see the flooded traffic

The FDB tables reflect the lack of CAM entry for the client on br-int
bridge. I would expect to see the MAC address on the patch uplink:

root@osa-newton-ovs-compute01:/home/ubuntu# ovs-appctl fdb/show br-int | grep 'fa:16:3e:e8:59:00'
root@osa-newton-ovs-compute01:/home/ubuntu# ovs-appctl fdb/show br-provider | grep 'fa:16:3e:e8:59:00'
    2   850  fa:16:3e:e8:59:00    3
    
Sources[1] point to the fact that an 'output' action negates the MAC learning mechanism in OVS. Related Table 82 entries are below, and code is here[2]:

cookie=0x94ebb7913c37a0ec, duration=415.490s, table=82, n_packets=5, n_bytes=424, idle_age=31, priority=70,ct_state=+est-rel-rpl,tcp,reg5=0xd,dl_dst=fa:16:3e:80:cb:0a,tp_dst=80 actions=strip_vlan,output:13

cookie=0x94ebb7913c37a0ec, duration=415.491s, table=82, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=415, priority=50,ct_state=-new-est+rel-inv,ct_zone=4,ct_mark=0,reg5=0xd,dl_dst=fa:16:3e:80:cb:0a actions=strip_vlan,output:13

My testing shows that massaging the flow rules to remove the 'output'
action and instead use a 'mod_vlan_vid' action (for the sake of getting
it working) results in expected behavior:

cookie=0x85cd1a977dd54be0, duration=0.359s, table=82, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=2110, priority=70,ct_state=+est-rel-rpl,tcp,reg5=0xd,dl_dst=fa:16:3e:80:cb:0a,tp_dst=80 actions=mod_vlan_vid:4,NORMAL

cookie=0x85cd1a977dd54be0, duration=0.361s, table=82, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=5263, priority=50,ct_state=+est-rel+rpl,ct_zone=4,ct_mark=0,reg5=0xd,dl_dst=fa:16:3e:80:cb:0a actions=strip_vlan,output:13
cookie=0x85cd1a977dd54be0, duration=0.361s, table=82, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, idle_age=5373, priority=50,ct_state=-new-est+rel-inv,ct_zone=4,ct_mark=0,reg5=0xd,dl_dst=fa:16:3e:80:cb:0a actions=strip_vlan,output:13

The MAC of the client shows up now on br-int FDB:

root@osa-newton-ovs-compute01:/home/ubuntu# ovs-appctl fdb/show br-int | grep 'fa:16:3e:e8:59:00'
    1     4  fa:16:3e:e8:59:00    2

The test below shows that traffic is only seen on server tap and not
bystander tap:

I need to build out an environment using the master branch, but the code
at [3] seems to indicate the 'output' action is still specified.

Thanks for taking a look and let me know if you have any questions.

Title:
  openvswitch firewall flows cause flooding on integration bridge

Status in neutron:

Bug description:

  In this environment, we have observed OVS flooding network traffic
  across all ports in a given VLAN on the integration bridge due to the

  My testing shows that massaging the flow rules to remove the 'output'
  action and instead use a 'mod_vlan_vid' action (for the sake of
  getting it working) results in expected behavior:

  >> Nothing! As expected.

  I need to build out an environment using the master branch, but the
  code at [3] seems to indicate the 'output' action is still specified.

  Thanks for taking a look and let me know if you have any questions.
