[release-4.22] USHIFT-7267: fix conformance networking issues#7056
Conversation
The upstream OVN-K binary removed the --nb-address/--sb-address flags, changing the connection model from TCP to unix sockets. With TCP, each connection attempt was fresh and a missing SBDB caused a clean retry. With unix sockets on a shared hostPath, the socket file persists between container restarts. If ovn-controller connects to a leftover socket from a previous SBDB instance, it caches a stale raft commit index. When the new SBDB starts fresh, ovn-controller sees the lower index as "stale data" and enters an infinite reconnect loop, blocking all pod networking. Fix this with a two-part approach: - SBDB/NBDB containers remove stale sockets before starting ovsdb-server, which then creates fresh ones. - ovn-controller waits for the fresh SBDB socket to appear before connecting, ensuring it never grabs a leftover socket. Applied to both single-node and multi-node DaemonSets.
The northd container used template-rendered OVN_NB_DB_LIST and OVN_SB_DB_LIST with the node IP baked into the DaemonSet spec. In multinode, each node rendered the DaemonSet with its own IP, causing spec changes on every reconcile and triggering rolling updates that restarted the SBDB — the root cause of the stale data issue. Replace the baked-in template variables with the runtime env var K8S_NODE_IP, which is resolved per-pod from status.hostIP. This makes the DaemonSet spec identical regardless of which node renders it, eliminating spurious rolling updates. Remove the now-unused Controlplane field from MultiNodeConfig and the OVN_NB_DB_LIST/OVN_SB_DB_LIST render parameters.
