My env:
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS AMD x64
Kernel: 5.4.0-169-generic
OVS: ovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 3.2.1 DB Schema 8.4.0

test:

create ovs bridge and port:

ovs-vsctl add-br br0
ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow13,OpenFlow14,OpenFlow15 -- add-port br0 sp -- set Interface sp type=internal ofport_request=1
ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow13,OpenFlow14,OpenFlow15 -- add-port br0 back -- set Interface back type=internal ofport_request=2
ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow13,OpenFlow14,OpenFlow15 -- add-port br0 svc1 -- set Interface svc1 type=internal ofport_request=10
ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 protocols=OpenFlow10,OpenFlow13,OpenFlow14,OpenFlow15 -- add-port br0 svc2 -- set Interface svc2 type=internal ofport_request=20

ifconfig sp up
ifconfig back up
ifconfig svc1 up
ifconfig svc2 up

ifconfig sp mtu 65535
ifconfig back mtu 65535
ifconfig svc1 mtu 65535
ifconfig svc2 mtu 65535

# add test eth
sudo ip link add src1 type dummy
ifconfig src1 up
ifconfig src1 mtu 65535

set ovs flows:

ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 add-flow br0 "table=0,in_port=sp,actions=encap(nsh(md_type=1)),set_field:0x1234->nsh_spi,set_field:0xff->nsh_si,encap(ethernet),svc1"
ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 add-flow br0 "table=0,in_port=back,dl_type=0x894f,nsh_mdtype=1,nsh_spi=0x1234,actions=decap(),decap(),svc2"

graph:

packet route: src1 -> sp -> ovs -> flows -> svc1 -> sf proxy1(nsh) -> container -> sf proxy1(nsh) -> back port -> ovs -> flows -> svc2

ovs flows:

root@monkey:~# ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 dump-flows br0
 cookie=0x0, duration=12.619s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, in_port=sp actions=encap(nsh(md_type=1)),set_field:0x1234->nsh_spi,set_field:255->nsh_si,encap(ethernet),output:svc1
 cookie=0x0, duration=7.747s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, in_port=back,dl_type=0x894f,nsh_mdtype=1,nsh_spi=0x1234 actions=decap(),decap(),output:svc2

I wrote test data from src1 to sp.
The individual packet sizes tested were: 64-128-256-512-1024-2048, and everything worked stably up to 2048.

However, when I set the packet size to 4096, a kernel crash occurred. I was only able to gather very limited information:

Message from syslogd@monkey at Dec 25 16:55:53 ...
kernel:[ 424.229272] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

I attempted to use kdump, but without success. I'm not familiar with kdump......

However, through my testing, the crash was due to this rule:

ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 add-flow br0 table=0,in_port=back,dl_type=0x894f,nsh_mdtype=1,nsh_spi=0x1234,actions=decap(),decap(),svc2

Without setting this rule, it can run stably up to ⑧. I'm not sure what's wrong with this rule because it can work with packet sizes up to 2048 or smaller.

I tried both OVS 2.13 and 3.2.1 versions, and they yielded the same results. Did I miss something?

Hi, @monkey92t . Could you provide the output of the ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows executed while the traffic is running in a working case (small packets)?

@igsilya Thank you for your reply. Below, I'll explain my testing process:

OVS rule list:

root@monkey:~# ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 dump-flows br0
 cookie=0x0, duration=214.102s, table=0, n_packets=11, n_bytes=866, in_port=sp actions=encap(nsh(md_type=1)),set_field:0x1234->nsh_spi,set_field:255->nsh_si,encap(ethernet),output:svc1

The packet path for testing is: sp (source port) -> ovs (Open vSwitch) -> rule-1 -> svc1 -> svc (read svc1 write back) -> rule-2 -> svc2

In the sp network card, I wrote test data with a single packet size of 2048 bytes (2KB). In total, ten million packets were written. The output result of the 'ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows' command is:

At this point, it was functioning without issues, but when I set the individual packet size to 4096 bytes (4KB), the kernel crashed immediately. I couldn't retrieve any data or logs in time.

Thank you very much for your help.

@igsilya Hi, In my testing process, the first rule:

ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 add-flow br0 "table=0,in_port=sp,actions=encap(nsh(md_type=1)),set_field:0x1234->nsh_spi,set_field:0xff->nsh_si,encap(ethernet),svc1"

Changing it to:

ovs-ofctl -Oopenflow13 add-flow br0 "table=0,in_port=sp,actions=encap(nsh(md_type=1)),set_field:0x1234->nsh_spi,set_field:0xff->nsh_si,encap(ethernet),set_field:11:22:33:44:55:66->dl_dst,svc1"

Their difference lies solely in the addition of set_field:11:22:33:44:55:66->dl_dst.

But it seems to have affected the normal functioning of the second rule.

The modification allows it to function properly with packets of 4096 bytes or larger. Do we need to set the MAC address for Ethernet? I'm puzzled because it works fine for packets smaller than 2048 bytes; I'm not sure if there might be another reason...
