Hi, I've been recently debugging some issues I've had with the OVS agent, and I found out that in many cases (possibly every case) the code just logs errors from ovs-vsctl and ovs-ofctl without taking any action in the control flow. For instance, the routine which should do the wiring for a port, port_bound [1], does not react in any way if it fails to configure the local vlan, which I guess means the port would not be able to send/receive any data. I'm pretty sure there's a good reason for this which I'm missing at the moment. I am asking because I see a pretty large number of ALARM_CLOCK errors returned by OVS commands in gate logs (see bug [2]), and I'm not sure whether it's ok to handle them as the OVS agent is doing nowadays.
