New work enqueued to the dplane_fpm_nl provider is initially de-queued
and re-enqueued, in fpm_nl_process(), to be processed by the provider's
own thread.
After performing this initial de-queue/enqueue we return to
dplane_thread_loop() and check the dplane_fpm_nl output queue for any
work which has been completed.
Since this work is being processed in another thread it is very likely
that there will be some (or all) work still outstanding at this point.
The dataplane thread finishes up any other tasks and then waits until
it is next scheduled. In the meantime the dplane_fpm_nl thread is
processing its work queue until completion.
The issue arises here as the dataplane thread is not explicitly
re-scheduled once dplane_fpm_nl has drained its work queue and
populated its output queue with completed work.
This completed work can sit in the output queue for an indeterminate
period of time, depending upon when the dataplane thread is next
scheduled for other work. If the RIB has reached a stable state then
this could be a significant period of time. During this period zebra
marks these routes as queued, even though they have actually been
processed by all dataplane providers.
An un-related RIB change which triggers a FIB update will result in
the dataplane thread being scheduled and this completed work then
being processed. At this point the routes will then no longer be
marked as queued by zebra. However this new FIB update might itself
then fall victim to the same scenario!
We can observe the above behaviour in these detailed dplane logs.
11:24:47 zebra[7282]: dplane: incoming new work counter: 2
11:24:47 zebra[7282]: dplane enqueues 2 new work to provider 'Kernel'
11:24:47 zebra[7282]: dplane provider 'Kernel': processing

11:24:47 zebra[7282]: dplane has 1 completed, 0 errors, for zebra main
2 contexts (all incoming work) have been queued to dplane_fpm_nl - all good.
1 completed context was de-queued, so there is outstanding work.
11:24:58 zebra[7282]: dplane: incoming new work counter: 2
11:24:58 zebra[7282]: dplane enqueues 2 new work to provider 'Kernel'
11:24:58 zebra[7282]: dplane provider 'Kernel': processing

11:24:58 zebra[7282]: dplane enqueues 2 new work to provider 'dplane_fpm_nl'
11:24:58 zebra[7282]: dplane dequeues 2 completed work from provider dplane_fpm_nl
11:24:58 zebra[7282]: dplane has 2 completed, 0 errors, for zebra main
A further 2 contexts (all incoming work) have been queued to dplane_fpm_nl - all good.
2 completed contexts were de-queued, which sounds good as that is what we en-queued.
However, there is an outstanding context from earlier, so there is still outstanding
work.
Indeed the new 5.5.5.5/32 route is marked as queued:
O>q 5.5.5.5/32 [110/10] via 192.168.2.2, dp0p1s3, weight 1, 00:01:19
This remains the case until we trigger a FIB update by installation of the
(eg.) 10.10.10.10/32 route:
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane: incoming new work counter: 2
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane enqueues 2 new work to provider 'Kernel'
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane provider 'Kernel': processing
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: ID (195) Dplane nexthop update ctx 0x55c429b78ce0 op NH_INSTALL
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: 0:10.10.10.10/32 Dplane route update ctx 0x55c429b7a040 op ROUTE_INSTALL
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane dequeues 2 completed work from provider Kernel
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane enqueues 2 new work to provider 'dplane_fpm_nl'
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane dequeues 2 completed work from provider dplane_fpm_nl
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: dplane has 2 completed, 0 errors, for zebra main
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: zebra2proto: Please add this protocol(2) to proper rt_netlink.c handling
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: Nexthop dplane ctx 0x55c429b6fed0, op NH_INSTALL, nexthop ID (193), result SUCCESS
11:26:41 zebra[7282]: default(0:254):5.5.5.5/32 Processing dplane result ctx 0x55c429b79690, op ROUTE_INSTALL result SUCCESS
We observe the same 2 enqueues and 2 dequeues as before, which again suggests
that there is outstanding work.
As expected, the 5.5.5.5/32 route is no longer marked as queued:
O>* 5.5.5.5/32 [110/10] via 192.168.2.2, dp0p1s3, weight 1, 00:02:06
But the 10.10.10.10/32 route is, as we have not yet processed the completed
context:
C>q 10.10.10.10/32 is directly connected, lo, 00:26:05
