ovsdb: generate update notifications for monitor_cond session
Hold session's conditions in ovsdb_monitor_session_condition. Pass it to ovsdb_monitor for generating "update2" notifications. Add functions that can generate "update2" notification for a "monitor_cond" session. JSON cache is enabled only for session's with true condition only. "monitor_cond" and "monitor_cond_change" are RFC 7047 extensions described by ovsdb-server(1) manpage. Performance evaluation: OVN is the main candidate for conditional monitoring usage. It is clear that conditional monitoring reduces computation on the ovn-controller (client) side due to the reduced size of flow tables and update messages. Performance evaluation shows up to 75% computation reduction. However, performance evaluation shows also a reduction in computation on the SB ovsdb-server side proportional to the degree that each logical network is spread over physical hosts in the DC. Evaluation shows that in a realistic scenarios there is a computation reduction also in the server side. Evaluation on simulated environment of 50 hosts and 1000 logical ports shows the following results (cycles #): LN spread over # hosts| master | patch | change ------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 24597200127 | 24339235374 | 1.0% 6 | 23788521572 | 19145229352 | 19.5% 12 | 23886405758 | 17913143176 | 25.0% 18 | 25812686279 | 23675094540 | 8.2% 24 | 28414671499 | 24770202308 | 12.8% 30 | 31487218890 | 28397543436 | 9.8% 36 | 36116993930 | 34105388739 | 5.5% 42 | 37898342465 | 38647139083 | -1.9% 48 | 41637996229 | 41846616306 | -0.5% 50 | 41679995357 | 43455565977 | -4.2% Signed-off-by: Liran Schour <lirans@il.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@ovn.org>
