Hello Dmitrii, or anyone else affected,
Accepted neutron into victoria-proposed. The package will build now and
be available in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. To enable the -proposed
repository:
sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:victoria-proposed
sudo apt-get update
Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-victoria-needed to verification-victoria-done. If it
does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and
change the tag to verification-victoria-failed. In either case, details
of your testing will help us make a better decision.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!

Title:
A privsep daemon spawned by neutron-openvswitch-agent hangs when debug

Bug description:
When there is a large amount of netdevs registered in the kernel and
debug logging is enabled, neutron-openvswitch-agent and the privsep
daemon spawned by it hang since the RPC call result sent by the
privsep daemon over a unix socket exceeds the message sizes that the
msgpack library can handle.
The impact of this is that enabling debug logging on the cloud
completely stalls neutron-openvswitch-agents and makes them "dead"
from the Neutron server perspective.
The issue is summarized in detail in comment #5

========================================================================
Old Description
While trying to debug a different issue, I encountered a situation
where privsep hangs in the process of handling a request from neutron-
openvswitch-agent when debug logging is enabled (juju debug-log
neutron-openvswitch=true):

The issue gets reproduced reliably in the environment where I
encountered it on all units. As a result, neutron-openvswitch-agent
services hang while waiting for a response from the privsep daemon and
do not progress past basic initialization. They never post any state
back to the Neutron server and thus are marked dead by it.
The processes though are shown as "active (running)" by systemd which
adds to the confusion since they do indeed start from the systemd's
perspective.

--------------------------------------------------------
An strace shows that the privsep daemon tries to receive input from fd
3 which is the unix socket it uses to communicate with the client.
However, this is just one tread out of many spawned by the privsep
daemon so it is unlikely to be the root cause (there are 65 threads
there in total, see https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fbGvN2P8rP/)
# there is one extra neutron-openvvswitch-agent running in a LXD container which can be ignored here (there is an octavia unit on the node which has a neutron-openvswitch subordinate)
