[Bug 1992953] [NEW] Disable in-band flow management in the ovs bridges

 

Public bug reported:

Currently when restarting neutron, neutron do following setup

a) set controller 127.0.0.1
b) set out-of-band mode

between a) and b), ovs runs with in-band mode and it has hidden flow in
bridge. The hidden flow causing odd dataplane flow.

To avoid that potensial odd dataplane flow we should do one of below:
a) configure the controller and set it to out-of-band in a single db transaction, i.e. "ovs-vsctl set-controller br-tenant tcp:127.0.0.1:6633 -- set controller br-tenant connection-mode=out-of-band" or
b) configure disable-in-band to true for the bridge before configuring the controller, i.e. “ovs-vsctl set bridge br-tenant other-config:disable-in-band=true”

** Affects: neutron
     Importance: Medium
