Subject: [PVE-User] Kernel panics when using OpenVSwitch bridges (Proxmox VE 7.3)
Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 14:28:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAD=jCXP3x_PrZRx_kSXQy7_YMTwsD3H0_Ja8s3C3J+h3GHSmrg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello community,
we're using OpenVSwitch bridges on a productive Proxxmox 7.3 cluster with 4
nodes (different hardware). Some weeks ago, a sudden reboot happened on one
of the cluster nodes. Further analysis showed that we had kernel panics /
CPU stalls which seem to be related to OpenVSwitch. After more analysis, we
found out that we're able to reliably reproduce the OVS related kernel
panic jst by restarting running LXC containers with network interfaces. The
behaviour could be reproduced on all our nodes. As these nodes are quite
different in their hardware specifications, we assume that it's caused by
some software-related (OVS) bug.
The kernel panics do NOT occur when switching to linux bridged on a node.
See kernel log extract attached.
Did someone have a similar behaviour?
What experiences do you have with linux bridges compared to OVS bridges
regarding network performance?
We could do without OVS features but must rely on good enough performance.
System:
pveversion: pve-manager/7.3-6/723bb6ec (running kernel: 5.15.102-1-pve)
OVS 2.15.0
Thank you in advance.
All the best
Benjamin
