Bug Description

Our ENV:
1. Around 80 VMs in a compute node (Dell620, 2x8core CPU, 192G RAM)
2. Using OVS and GRE tunnel
3. Overlapping IP enabled
4. Quantum port security enabled

Symptom:
1. 'alive stats' of compute node's OVS agent in 'quantum agent-list' is keeping change.
2. Can't get DHCP address and network is not connective for a period of time when new created VM boot up.

Possible cause
1. The looping tasks of OVS agent take a long time, e.g. retrive all ovs port information. 'quantum-rootwrap' is very low performance, it takes around 0.2s for scaning each port, so 80 ports for 80 vm will take around 16s, the default 'report_interval' is 4s and 'agent_down_time' is 5s. It will be 10 times faster if using 'sudo' as the 'root_helper'.
2. OVS agent is updating 'port filter for' all ports in the compute node along with new VM creation. Each process for one port will take around 1s, so 80 ports will take around 80s. If there are 3 VMs created at same time in the same compute node, OVS agent will update 'port filter for' all ports 3 times, which means it will take around 240s.
3. Seems OVS agent set appropriate 'tag' and 'flow' for a port of new created VM after the above process of 'update port filter' completed.

Further investigation:

looks like the default 'ingress' rule of quantum security group is using parameter ‘--remote_group_id’ and point to it self, the description of this is ‘Selecting a security group as the source will allow any other instance in that security group access to any other instance via this rule.‘.

In this case, each port in every created instance which is assigned same security group will be scanned and refreshed new 'firewall rule' set when new port created along with the creation of VM.

So in one scenario, in a large scale of cloud, there are hundred of VMs are assigned same security rule, then the nightmare happended. Each time to create a new VM, hundred of ports of rest created VMs will be scanned and updated with hundred of iptable-rules (most of rules is allowing access from the IP of existed ports ), the whole process will take very long time to complete. Further more, the network of new created VM will not be able to connect until the previous process completed, because OVS agent set 'tag' and 'flow' for the new created port after the existed ports been updated.

Security Group:

    faster quantum-openvswitch-agent periodic reports

    One of two patches that fixes bug #1194438.

    Instead of spawning ovs-vsctl for every port on br-int, we just dump the
    required columns from the Interfaces table and grab the rows that we need. This
    is a big win because the time it takes for ovs-vsctl to connect to the
    openvswitch controller is orders of magnitude greater than the time it takes to
    parse the rows. In practice, instead of taking roughly 1s per interface, the
    agent's periodic task only takes 1s in total.

In the meantime, https://review.openstack.org/34872 was merged to master and we entered stable/grizzly freeze for 2013.1.3 without backport to stable/grizzly.
Since this is marked as "High" I'll go ahead and propose it as a freeze exception.
