[OVSDB-450] Deleting a bridge in OVS deletes the ProtocolEntry for all bridges

Wed, 1 May 2019 23:55:31 +0000

Hello,

I found a bug when using ODL to manage multiple bridges on a single OVS.

The problem is as follows:

I create two bridges br1 and br2 on an OVS node and set them to use OpenFlow 1.3 by setting a ProtocolEntry with OvsdbBridgeProtocolOpenflow13.class in OvsdbBridgeAugmentationBuilder.
Setting the ProtocolEntry is required because OVS 2.8.1 defaults to a version of OpenFlow not supported by ODL
I then delete bridge br2 through the OVSDB REST API
At that point, br2 is correctly deleted but br1 gets disconnected from ODL OpenFlow plugin

The following line appears in the log:

instead of something like

When checking the ovsdb topology through the REST API, it appears that the ProtocolEntry has been removed for br1 as well

It is possible to get back the connectivity using

ovs-vsctl set bridge br1 protocols=OpenFlow13

but that requires manual action on the OVS.

Do not hesitate to contact me if more info is required.

Thanks

Thomas
