[NETVIRT-391] VPN-Interfaces not handled due to VPN-Instance data not ready

Mon, 13 Mar 2017 21:10:44 +0000

In a setup with more compute nodes than CPU cores for the ODL, there is a problem in the way VpnOpDataSyncer class in used with DataStoreJobCoordinator jobs.

In such setup, when creating an external network, it immediately creates a VPN interface on each compute. All those interfaces are running as DjC jobs.

Those jobs, are using VpnOpDataSyncer:waitForVpnDataReady() method to wait for VPN-Instance data to be ready.
VPN-Instance data is handled in AddVpnInstanceWorker which is also a DjC job.

An issue rises because the VPN-interfaces jobs are running on all the threads available in the fork-join pool, and there are no available threads to run AddVpnInstanceWorker job.
This causes some of the VPN-Interface jobs to give up after 90 seconds, with the following print to the log:
