[net,2/2] selftests: add openvswitch selftest suite
Commit Message
Previous commit resolves a WARN splat that can be difficult to reproduce,
but with the ovs-dpctl.py utility, it can be trivial. Introduce a test
case which creates a DP, and then downgrades the feature set. This will
include a utility 'ovs-dpctl.py' that can be extended to do additional
work.

Hey, Aaron and Kevin. Selftests sounds like a very important and
long overdue thing to add. Thanks for working on this!
I have some worries about the libnl3 library though. It doesn't
seem to be maintained well. It it maintained by a single person,
it it was at least 3 different single persons over the last 7
years via forks. It didn't get any significant development done
since 2015 as well and no commits at all for a last 1.5 years.
It is not packaged by any major distributions.
I'm talking about https://github.com/coolshou/libnl3 . Please,
correct me if that is not the right one. There are too many
libraies with the name libnl out there... That is also not a great
sign.
The C library libnl (https://github.com/thom311/libnl) seems to
be well maintained in general. It has experimental python
bindings which are not really supported much. Python bindings
received only 2 actual code-changing commits in the last 7 years.
Both of them are just python 2/3 compatibility changes.
Maybe that is not that big of a deal since it's not really a
real python library, but a wrapper on top of a main C library.
However, I didn't find these python bindings to be packaged in
distributions. And they seem to be not available in pip as well.
So, building them is kind of a pain.
There is another option which is pyroute2. It positions itself
primarily as a netlink library and it does include an
pyroute2.netlink module indeed:
https://github.com/svinota/pyroute2/tree/master/pyroute2/netlink
See the __init__.py for usage examples.
This one looks to me like the most trustworthy. It is actively
used by everyone in the python networking world, e.g. by OpenStack.
And it is actively developed and maintained unlike other
netlink-related python projects. It is also packaged in most of the
main distributions, so it's easy to install and use. Many people
already have it installed for other purposes.
TBH, I didn't compare the functionality, but I'd expect that most
of the things we need are implemented.
What do you think?
On the other note, I'm not a real python developer, but the code
looks more like a C than a python even for me. Firstly, I'd say
that it would be great to maintain some coding style, e.g. by
checking with flake8 and/or black. See some issues/suggestions
provided by these tools below.
Secondly, we shouldd at least use argparse for argument parsing.
It's part of the standard library since python 3.2, so doens't
require any special dependencies to be installed.
Some parts of the code can probably be re-written to be more
"pythonic" as well, but I won't dive into that for now. I didn't
review the code deep enough for that.
Best regards, Ilya Maximets.

Yes, this is the project. We did look at some of the ones you
mentioned, but didn't find much.
It is a sparse landscape of projects that provide netlink support in
python.

Well, the python libnl3 should be installable via pip3. Ex:
11:27:15 aconole@RHTPC1VM0NT ~$ pip3 install libnl3
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting libnl3
Using cached libnl3-0.3.0-py3-none-any.whl (89 kB)
Installing collected packages: libnl3
Successfully installed libnl3-0.3.0
So I guess that is worth something.
At least on Fedora it is installable from distribution as well.

We can certainly look at switching, but having a quick glance, it seems
pyroute2 expects to provide the genl commands as well, so they would
want us to create an ovs module in pyroute2 that includes all of the ovs
family support. Of course, we can always do this just in our module,
but I think it isn't the way pyroute2 project wants to be structured.
More like a library that provides all the command functionality.

Agreed. BTW, on the rhel8 system I developed on:
[root@wsfd-netdev60 openvswitch]# flake8 ./ovs-dpctl.py
[root@wsfd-netdev60 openvswitch]#
So, I guess it is probably that I should have used a different system to
do the flake8 checks.

Okay - I can switch to argparse. TBH, I haven't kept up with python
standard library for some time.

I have difficulty sometimes understanding what it means to be "Real
Python (tm)" - I don't plan to change things too much. I can certainly
switch to using argparse, but unless you give something you want to
change, I would not change anything.

Okay, I'll install black on my system and do some development there.

You're right, I missed that somehow. But this is not an
https://github.com/coolshou/libnl3 project. :)
These are python bindings for the C libnl library:

And this is https://pypi.org/project/libnl3/, which is the
https://github.com/coolshou/libnl3 project. So, by installing
libnl3 via pip and installing python3-libnl3 from the fedora
you're getting two completely different libraries.
So, which one users should use?
I can't find python bindings for the C libnl (which is the
python3-libnl3 package) in pypi, so it can't be installed
with pip.

What I was thinking is to import pyroute2.netlink and the
pyroute2.netlink.generic and go from there. But I didn't
look too deep on how to actually implement the functionality.
The python bindings for the C libnl (python3-libnl3) sounds
like a fine option since they are actually packaged in
distributions (missed that in my initial reply). However,
the fact that you can not install them via pip and actually
you will install something but completely different is kind
of weird. This has to be at least better documented, so
users will know what to install and they will not try to use
pip for that.

Maybe the python version is different... I was running on f36
with python 3.10. Also, the list of defaults might be different.
flake8 doesn't use default ignore list if one is explicitly provided.

Well, 3.2 was released 11 years ago. :)

I breifly looked through code and though I don't fully
understand what this piece supposed to do:
+ segment = hdrval.find(":")
+ if segment == -1:
+ segment = len(hdrval)
+ hdrver = int(hdrval[:segment], 0)
+ if len(hdrval[:segment]):
+ userfeatures = int(hdrval[:segment], 0)
but I have a strong feeling that this part can benefit
from use of hdrval.split(':').
I won't insist on that too much. :)

Actually, I can't find an equivalent package for Ubuntu 22.04.
And since pip is not an option (pip install libnl3 is a different
package), there is no way to install it there beside building
from sources.
Am I still missing something?

Well, I have switched the latest version to using pyroute2 - hopefully
this will be acceptable :)
