X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e10dfcf35;p=openvswitch rconn: Be pickier about what constitutes a successful connection. When secchan is configured to "fail open" after failing to connect to a controller for a period of time, it needs a heuristic for what constitutes a successful connection. Until now, that heuristic was simply that when it received an OpenFlow message from the controller (any OpenFlow message), it considered the connection successful. However, this is no longer good enough, because NOX performs admission control on connections after sending a number of OpenFlow messages, in particular after doing OpenFlow version negotiation and requesting the switch features (and receiving the reply). Thus, this commit adjusts the heuristic by only considering certain OpenFlow messages to demonstrate that admission control checks have passed and thus that the connection should be considered successful. As a fallback, any connection that persists for 30 seconds or longer is also considered successful. An alternate and complementary approach (that this commit does not implement) would be to use an OpenFlow error message to indicate why the connection is closing. Fixes bug #239. --- diff --git a/include/rconn.h b/include/rconn.h index 53054c14..1ce73e9c 100644 --- a/include/rconn.h +++ b/include/rconn.h @@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ void rconn_add_monitor(struct rconn *, struct vconn *); const char *rconn_get_name(const struct rconn *); bool rconn_is_alive(const struct rconn *); bool rconn_is_connected(const struct rconn *); -int rconn_disconnected_duration(const struct rconn *); +int rconn_failure_duration(const struct rconn *); bool rconn_is_connectivity_questionable(struct rconn *); uint32_t rconn_get_ip(const struct rconn *); diff --git a/lib/rconn.c b/lib/rconn.c index e5f377b9..7db14e21 100644 --- a/lib/rconn.c +++ b/lib/rconn.c @@ -92,6 +92,17 @@ struct rconn { time_t last_connected; unsigned int packets_sent; + /* In S_ACTIVE and S_IDLE, probably_admitted reports whether we believe + * that the peer has made a (positive) admission control decision on our + * connection.
