In some of our destructive testing of ovn-dbs inside containers managed
by pacemaker we reached a situation where /var/run/openvswitch had
empty .pid files. The current code does not deal well with them
and pidfile_is_running() returns true in such a case and this confuses
the OCF resource agent.

- Before this change:
Inside a container run:
  killall ovsdb-server;
  echo -n '' > /var/run/openvswitch/ovnnb_db.pid; echo -n '' > /var/run/openvswitch/ovnsb_db.pid

We will observe that the cluster is unable to ever recover because
it believes the ovn processes to be running when they really aren't and
eventually just fails:
 podman container set: ovn-dbs-bundle [192.168.24.1:8787/rhosp15/openstack-ovn-northd:pcmklatest]
   ovn-dbs-bundle-0     (ocf::ovn:ovndb-servers):       Master controller-0
   ovn-dbs-bundle-1     (ocf::ovn:ovndb-servers):       Stopped controller-1
   ovn-dbs-bundle-2     (ocf::ovn:ovndb-servers):       Slave controller-2

- After this change the cluster is able to recover from this state and
correctly start the resource:
 podman container set: ovn-dbs-bundle [192.168.24.1:8787/rhosp15/openstack-ovn-northd:pcmklatest]
   ovn-dbs-bundle-0     (ocf::ovn:ovndb-servers):       Master controller-0
   ovn-dbs-bundle-1     (ocf::ovn:ovndb-servers):       Slave controller-1
   ovn-dbs-bundle-2     (ocf::ovn:ovndb-servers):       Slave controller-2

Hi. Thanks for the fix!

Maybe it's better to add additional check for an empty argument to
'pid_exists' function instead? This will cover more cases like invocations
from the utilities/ovs-lib.in.

I think, you may also add following tag to commit-message in this case:
Fixes: 3028ce2595c8 ("ovs-lib: Allow "status" command to work as non-root.")

This patch also will be needed in ovn-org/ovn repository too.
(Use 'PATCH ovn' subject prefix while sending patches targeted for ovn repo.)

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.

Thanks for the feedback Ilya, I have amended things (hopefully correctly) in
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1147111/ (I could not figure out how
to update an existing patch in patchwork, I hope this is okay)

Kind regards,
Michele

Hi Michele and Ilya,

I applied this fix to the OVN repo. It's possible that the fix to address
this issue in ovs-lib.in could
be missing in some deployments if older ovs version is used. I thought its
no harm in having
the fixes in both ovn-ctl and ovs-lib.in.

Thanks
Numan

Hi Numan,

There was already v2 for this patch (a bit renamed):
OVS: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2019-August/361678.html
OVN: https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2019-August/361679.html

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.

Sorry, maybe I misunderstood what you wanted to do.
Do you suggest to apply v1 to OVN repo and v2 to OVS repo?
What about applying v2 to OVN repo?

Yes.  v1 to OVN repo and v2 to OVS repo.
OVN repo doesn't have the ovs-lib.in file. So v2 won't apply there.

We could apply v1 to OVS repo too, but that wouldn't make sense as we may
delete the ovn folder once
this patch is accepted - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1147617/
