Commit Message

Flaviof Nov. 20, 2020, 6:22 p.m. UTC
When multiple ACL rows use the same Meter for log rate-limiting, the
'noisiest' ACL matches may completely consume the Meter and shadow other
ACL logs. This patch introduces a column in northbound's Meter table
called fair that allows for a Meter to rate-limit each ACL log separately.

The change is backward compatible. Based on the fair column of a Meter row,
northd will turn a single Meter in the NB into multiple Meters in the SB
by appending the ACL uuid to its name. It will also make action in logical
flow use the unique Meter name for each affected ACL log. In order to
make the Meter behave as described, add Meter with this option:

  ovn-nbctl --fair meter-add  ${meter_name} drop ${rate} ${unit}

Example:

  ovn-nbctl --fair meter-add meter_me drop 1 pktps

Thanks for addressing the comments. I applied this patch to master.
Since I only provide review comments
and didn't suggest any solution, I removed the suggested-by tag with my name :).
