![]() Problem statement:
==================
When a vrf is deleted from the kernel, before its removed from the FRR
config, zebra gets to delete the the vrf and assiciated state.
It does so by sending a request to delete the l3 vni associated with the
vrf followed by a request to delete the vrf itself.
2023/10/06 06:22:18 ZEBRA: [JAESH-BABB8] Send L3_VNI_DEL 1001 VRF
testVRF1001 to bgp
2023/10/06 06:22:18 ZEBRA: [XC3P3-1DG4D] MESSAGE: ZEBRA_VRF_DELETE
testVRF1001
The zebra client communication is asynchronous and about 1/5 cases the
bgp client process them in a different order.
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [VP18N-HB5R6] VRF testVRF1001(766) is to be
deleted.
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [RH4KQ-X3CYT] VRF testVRF1001(766) is to be
disabled.
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [X8ZE0-9TS5H] VRF disable testVRF1001 id 766
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [X67AQ-923PR] Deregistering VRF 766
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [K52W0-YZ4T8] VRF Deletion:
testVRF1001(4294967295)
.. and a bit later :
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [MRXGD-9MHNX] DJERNAES: process L3VNI 1001 DEL
2023/10/06 06:22:18 BGP: [NCEPE-BKB1G][EC 33554467] Cannot process L3VNI
1001 Del - Could not find BGP instance
When the bgp vrf config is removed later it fails on the sanity check if
l3vni is removed.
if (bgp->l3vni) {
vty_out(vty, "%% Please unconfigure l3vni %u\n",
bgp->l3vni);
return CMD_WARNING_CONFIG_FAILED;
}
Solution:
=========
The solution is to make bgp cleanup the l3vni a bgp instance is going
down.
The fix:
========
The fix is to add a function in bgp_evpn.c to be responsible for for
deleting the local vni, if it should be needed, and call the function
from bgp_instance_down().
Testing:
========
Created a test, which can run in container lab that remove the vrf on
the host before removing the vrf and the bgp config form frr. Running
this test in a loop trigger the problem 18 times of 100 runs. After the
fix it did not fail.
To verify the fix a log message (which is not in the code any longer)
were used when we had a stale l3vni and needed to call
bgp_evpn_local_l3vni_del() to do the cleanup. This were hit 20 times in
100 test runs.
