[OPNFLWPLUG-156] The Finisher queue size is unbounded and causes the controller to run out of memory under stress

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 09:01:11 +0000

The TicketFinisher queue is unbounded (created with integer.MAX_VALUE). Now that the MD-SAL queues do backpresssure,the plugin's Finisher queue will grow indefinitely and cause the controller to run out of memory under stress.

To reproduce, run the the cbench throughput test on a controller that uses the IF1.3 plugin, for example:

cbench -c 192.168.162.1 -p 6633 -m 1000 -l 10 -s 16 -M 100000 -

This bug is similar to ~~OPNFLWPLUG-119~~

The Finisher queue should be created with a max number of elements (say 500 or 1000). The max number of elements in the Finisher queue should be configurable.
