What/Why I did:
Issue1: By setting up of ipvlan interface in interface-config.sh we are not tolerant to failures. Reason being interface-config.service is one-shot and do not have restart capability.
Scenario: For example if let's say database service goes in fail state then interface-services also gets failed because of dependency check but later database service gets restart but interface service will remain in stuck state and the ipvlan interface nevers get created.
Solution: Moved all the logic in database service from interface-config service which looks more align logically also since the namespace is created here and all the network setting (sysctl) are happening here.With this if database starts we recreate the interface.
Issue 2: Use of IPVLAN vs MACVLAN
Currently we are using ipvlan mode. However above failure scenario is not handle correctly by ipvlan mode. Once the ipvlan interface is created and ip address assign to it and if we restart interface-config or database (new PR) service Linux Kernel gives error "Error: Address already assigned to an ipvlan device." based on this:https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_main.c#L978Reason being if we do not do cleanup of ip address assignment (need to be unique for IPVLAN) it remains in Kernel Database and never goes to free pool even though namespace is deleted.
Solution: Considering this hard dependency of unique ip macvlan mode is better for us and since everything is managed by Linux Kernel and no dependency for on user configured IP address.
Issue3: Namespace database Service do not check reachability to Supervisor Redis Chassis Server.
Currently there is no explicit check as we never do Redis PING from namespace to Supervisor Redis Chassis Server. With this check it's possible we will start database and all other docker even though there is no connectivity and will hit the error/failure late in cycle
Solution: Added explicit PING from namespace that will check this reachability.
Issue 4:flushdb give exception when trying to accces Chassis Server DB over Unix Sokcet.
Solution: Handle gracefully via try..except and log the message.
Why I did it
To upgrade SSD firmware in initramfs while rebooting from SONiC to SONiC and during NOS to SONiC migration.
How I did it
New option 'ssd-upgrader-part’ is introduced in grub command line, to indicate the partition and its filesystem type in which the SSD firmware updater is present. ‘ssd-upgrader-part’ syntax is ssd-upgrader-part=<partition>,<filesystem type>. Example: ssd-upgrader-part=/dev/sda8,ext4
A new initramfs script ‘ssd-upgrade’ is included in init-premount and it invokes the SSD firmware updater (ssd-fw-upgrade) present in the partition indicated by the boot option 'ssd-upgrader-part'
How to verify it
In SONiC, the SSD firmware updater is copied to “/host/” directory.
Fast-reboot is to be initiated with the ‘-u’ option ([scripts/fast-reboot] Add option to include ssd-upgrader-part boot option with SONiC partition sonic-utilities#2150)
After reboot, while booting into SONiC the SSD firmware updater will be executed in initramfs.
Why I did it
The PR is aimed to fix a bug that mgmt port eth0 may loss IP even if user configured static IP of eth0. This is not a always reproduceable issue, the reproducing flow is like:
Systemd starts networking service, which runs a dhcp based configuration and assigned an ip from dhcp.
Systemd starts interface-config service who depends on networking service
Interface-config service runs command “ifdown –force eth0”, check line. but networking service is still running so that this line failed with error: “error: Another instance of this program is already running.”. This error is printed by ifupdown2 lib who is the main process of networking service. So, ifdown actually does not work here, the ip of eth0 is not down.
Interface-config service updates /etc/networking/interface to static configuration.
Interface-config service runs command “systemctl restart networking”. This command kills the previous networking related processes (log: networking.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=15/TERM), and try to reconfigure the ip address with static configuration. But it detects that the configured IP and the existing IP are the same, and it does not really configure the ip to kernel. Hence, the ip is still getting from dhcp. (this could be a bug of ifupdown2: previous ip is from dhcp, new ip is a static ip, it treats them as same instead of re-configuring the IP)
When the lease of the ip expires, the ip of eth0 is removed by kernel and the issue reproduces.
The issue is not always reproduceable because networking service usually runs fast so that it won't hit step#3.
How I did it
Check networking service state before running "ifdown –force eth0", wait for it done if it is activating.
How to verify it
Manual test.

This PR aims to fix the Monit issue which shows Monit can't reset its counter when monitoring memory usage of telemetry container.
Specifically the Monit configuration file related to monitoring memory usage of telemetry container is as following:
check program container_memory_telemetry with path "/usr/bin/memory_checker telemetry 419430400"
if status == 3 for 10 times within 20 cycles then exec "/usr/bin/restart_service telemetry"
If memory usage of telemetry container is larger than 400MB for 10 times within 20 cycles (minutes), then it will be restarted.
Recently we observed, after telemetry container was restarted, its memory usage continuously increased from 400MB to 11GB within 1 hour, but it was not restarted anymore during this 1 hour sliding window.
The reason is Monit can't reset its counter to count again and Monit can reset its counter if and only if the status of monitored service was changed from Status failed to Status ok. However, during this 1 hour sliding window, the status of monitored service was not changed from Status failed to Status ok.
Currently for each service monitored by Monit, there will be an entry showing the monitoring status, monitoring mode etc. For example, the following output from command sudo monit status shows the status of monitored service to monitor memory usage of telemetry:
Program 'container_memory_telemetry'
status Status ok
monitoring status Monitored
monitoring mode active
on reboot start
last exit value 0
last output -
data collected Sat, 19 Mar 2022 19:56:26
Every 1 minute, Monit will run the script to check the memory usage of telemetry and update the counter if memory usage is larger than 400MB. If Monit checked the counter and found memory usage of telemetry is larger than 400MB for 10 times
within 20 minutes, then telemetry container was restarted. Following is an example status of monitored service:
Program 'container_memory_telemetry'
status Status failed
monitoring status Monitored
monitoring mode active
on reboot start
last exit value 0
last output -
data collected Tue, 01 Feb 2022 22:52:55
After telemetry container was restarted. we found memory usage of telemetry increased rapidly from around 100MB to more than 400MB during 1 minute and status of monitored service did not have a chance to be changed from Status failed to Status ok.
How I did it
In order to provide a workaround for this issue, Monit recently introduced another syntax format repeat every <n> cycles related to exec. This new syntax format will enable Monit repeat executing the background script if the error persists for a given number of cycles.

The existing log file size in sonic is 1 Mb. Over a period of time this leads to huge number of log files which becomes difficult for monitoring applications to handle.
Instead of large number of small files, the size of the log file is not set to 16 Mb which reduces the number of files over a period of time.
How I did it
Changed the size parameter and related macros in logrotate config for rsyslog
How to verify it
Execute logrotate manually and verify the limit when the file gets rotated.

This commit adds support for changing the default console baud rate configured
within the U-Boot bootloader. That default baud rate is exposed via the value
of the U-Boot 'baudrate' environment variable. This commit removes logic that
hardcoded the console baud rate to 115200 and instead ensures that the U-Boot
'baudrate' variable is always used when constructing the Linux kernel boot
arguments used when booting Sonic.
A change is also made to rc.local to ensure that the specified baud rate is set
correctly in the serial getty service.

In version 3.0.0, If a broadcast address is specified in
/etc/network/interfaces, then when ifup is run, it will fail with an
error saying `'str' object has no attribute 'packed'`. This appears to
be because it expects all attributes for an interface to be "packable"
into a compact binary representation. However, it doesn't actually
convert the broadcast address into an IPNetwork object (other addresses
are handled).
Therefore, convert the broadcast address it reads in from a str to an
IPNetwork object.
Also explicitly specify the scope of the loopback address in
/etc/network/interfaces as host scope. Otherwise, it will get added as
global scope by default. As part of this, use JSON to parse ip's output
instead of text, for robustness.

Currently dhcp packets are disabled by the COPP manager for non ToRRouter type switches.
Even if the feature is enabled, DHCP packets wont hook to the CPU since the COPP manager will not trap this packets.
This change is to disable dhcp_relay by default for non ToRRouter switches from init_cfg.json.
With this approach, if the user want to enable the feature for non ToRRouter switches, manual enablement is required by the 'feature' configuration.
This is to keep the current approach for MSFT production issue with dhcp relay for non ToRRouter switched and allow the user to decide if to use it or not.
- How I did it
Configure dhcp_relay 'disabled' by default on init_cfg.json for non ToRRouter switches.
Remove the exclusion of dhcp packets on copp_cfg.json
- How to verify it
Enable dhcp_relay feature on a non ToRRouter switch.
Unit-tests modified so the default values on mocked CONFIG DB in 'test_vectors.py' for dhcp_relay will be 'disabled'.
This is by the change for 'init_cfg.json.j2'.
For ToRRouter the state will change from 'disabled' to 'enabled'.
Another test case added for a 'ToR' switch type, this is to test the state is 'enabled' if the user configured it to be so.

Currently, there is a bug in the ntp.conf jinja2 template where it will ignore the src_intf directive in CONFIG_DB if there are multiple IP addresses associated with an interface. This code change fixes that bug and allows the template to select the correct source interface for NTP.
How I did it
I did this by modifying the macro in ntp.conf.j2 which determines if there is an ip address associated with an interface to set a state variable when it detects a valid interface entry in CONFIG_DB instead of outputting "true" directly (which could result in multiple "trues" outputted for interfaces with multiple valid IP addresses).
How to verify it
Add two ipv4 addresses to an interface in SONiC
Add the following configuration to config_db.json
{
"NTP": {
"global": {
"src_intf": "Ethernet1"
}
}
}
Replace Ethernet1 with the interface name of the one you assigned the IP addresses to.
Run sudo config reload -y
Open /etc/ntp.conf and verify that the following line exists
...
interface listen Ethernet1
...
The interface specified should be the one set in the previous steps.
