Why I did it
BGP service has always been starting after interface-config. However, recently we discovered an issue where some BGP sessions are unable to establish due to BGP daemon not able to read the interface IP.
This issue was clearly observed after upgrading to FRR 8.2.2. See more details in #12380.
How I did it
Delaying starting BGP seems to be a workaround for this issue.
However, caution is that this delay might impact warm reboot timing and other timing sequences.
This workaround is reducing the probability of hitting the issue by close to 100X. However, this workaround is not bulletproof as test shows. It is still preferrable to have a proper FRR fix and revert this change in the future.
How to verify it
Continuously issuing config reload and check BGP session status afterwards.

There's an odd crash that intermittently happens after the teamd container
exits, and a signal is raised to the main thread to exit. This thread (watching
teamd) continues execution because it's in a `while True`. The subsequent wait
call on the teamd container very likely returns immediately, and it calls
`is_warm_restart_enabled` and `is_fast_reboot_enabled`. In either of these
cases, sometimes, there is a crash in the transition from C code to Python code
(after the function gets executed). Python sees that this thread got a signal
to exit, because the main thread is exiting, and tells pthread to exit the
thread. However, during the stack unwinding, _something_ is telling the
unwinder to call `std::terminate`. The reason is unknown.
This then results in a python3 SIGABRT, and systemd then doesn't call the stop
script to actually stop the container (possibly because the main process exited
with a SIGABRT, so it's a hard crash). This means that the container doesn't
actually get stopped or restarted, resulting in an inconsistent state
afterwards.
The workaround appears to be that if we know the main thread needs to exit,
just return here, and don't continue execution. This at least tries to avoid it
from getting into the problematic code path. However, it's still feasible to
get a SIGABRT, depending on thread/process timings (i.e. teamd exits, signals
the main thread to exit, and then syncd exits, and syncd calls one of the two C
functions, potentially hitting the issue).

- Why I did it
interfaces-config service restarts networking service, during the restart loopback interface address is being removed and reassigned back, leaving loopback without an ipv4 address for a while.
On SONiC startup and config reload interfaces-config and bgp services start in parallel and sometimes
fpmsyncd in bgp attempts bind to loopback while it does not have an address, fails with the log
Exception "Cannot assign requested address" had been thrown in daemon
and exits with rc 0.

Multi-asic Docker instances are created behind Docker's default bridge
which doesn't allow talking to other Docker instances that are in the
host network (like database-chassis).
On linecards, we configure midplane interfaces to let per-asic docker
containers talk to CHASSIS_DB on the supervisor through internal chassis
network.
On the supervisor we don't need to use chassis internal network, but we
still need a similar setup in order to allow fabric containers to talk
to database-chassis

It could happen that a container has already crashed but docker-wait-any
will wait forever till it starts. It should, however, immediately exit
to make the serivce restart.
#### Why I did it
It is observed in some circumstances that the auto-restart mechanism does not work. Specifically for ```swss.service```, ```orchagent``` had crashed before ```docker-wait-any``` started in ```swss.sh```. This led ```docker-wait-any``` wait forever for ```swss``` to be in ```"Running"``` state and it results in:

```
The check for ```"Running"``` state is not needed because for cold boot case we do ```start_peer_and_dependent_services``` and for warm boot case the loop will retry to wait for container if this container is doing warm boot:
d01a91a569/files/image_config/misc/docker-wait-any (L56)
#### How I did it
Removed the check for ```"Running"```.
#### How to verify it
Kill swss before ```docker-wait-any``` is reached and verify auto restart will restart swss serivce.

On a supervisor card in a chassis, syncd/teamd/swss/lldp etc dockers are created for each Switch Fabric card. However, not all chassis would have all the switch fabric cards present. In this case, only dockers for Switch Fabrics present would be created.
The monit 'container_checker' fails in this scenario as it is expecting dockers for all Switch Fabrics (based on NUM_ASIC defined in asic.conf file).

echo "Before sleep"

Why I did it
The initial value has to be present for the state machines to work. In active-standby dual-tor scenario, or any hardware mux scenario, the value will be updtaed eventually with a delay.
However, in active-active dual-tor scenario, there is no other mechanism to initialize the value and get state machines started.
So this script will have to write something at start up time.
For active-active dualtor, 'active' is a more preferred initial value, the state machine will switch the state to standby soon if
link prober found link not in good state.

Update the script to always provide initial values.

"6" : "0" "6" : "6" Only change for leaf router to map TC 6 to PG 6 as PG 6 will be used for lossless PG
So, we have two new lossy PGs (2 and 6) for the T2 facing ports on T1, and two new lossless PGs (2 and 6) for the T0 facing port on T1.
However, there is no lossy PG profile for the T2 facing ports on T1. The lossless PGs for ports between T1 and T0 have been handled by buffermgrd .Therefore, We need to add lossy PG profiles for T2 facing ports on T1.
We don't have this issue on T0 because PG 2 and PG 6 are lossless PGs, and there is no lossy traffic mapped to PG 2 and PG 6
Map port level TC7 to PG0
Before the PCBB change, DSCP48 -> TC 6 -> PG 0.
After the PCBB change, DSCP48 -> TC 7 -> PG 7

In the script memory_checker, a function is added to get names of running containers. If the specified container name is not in current running container list, then this script will exit without checking its memory usage.
How to verify it
I tested on a lab device by following the steps:
Stops telemetry container with command sudo systemctl stop telemetry.service
Removes telemetry container with command docker rm telemetry
Checks whether the script memory_checker ran by Monit will generate the syslog message saying it will exit without checking memory usage of telemetry.
- Why I did it
Recent change to delay PMON service in case of fast/warm reboot introduce an issue when restarting only SWSS service after fast/warm reboot for Nvidia platform.
Since the timer is triggered only when the system boot, in a scenario when the system is after a fast/warm reboot and the user restart SWSS service, as part of syncd.sh script, PMON service will stop but the timer will not start again.
- How I did it
On syncd.sh script, in case of fast/warm indication, check if pmon.timer is running.
If it is running it means we are at the first boot and continue normally.
If it is not running, meaning the service was restarted, start the timer to keep the system behavior consistent.
- How to verify it
Run fast/warm reboot.
service swss restart.
Observe PMON service starting.

Why I did it
Revert the PR #10775, for it has impact on onie installation.
It is caused by the symbol links not supported in some of the onie unzip.
We will enable after fixing the issue, see #10914
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
At present, there is no mechanism in an event driven model to know that the system is up with all the essential sonic services and also, all the docker apps are ready along with port ready status to start the network traffic. With the asynchronous architecture of SONiC, we will not be able to verify if the config has been applied all the way down to the HW. But we can get the closest up status of each app and arrive at the system readiness.
How I did it
A new python based system monitor tool is introduced under system-health framework to monitor all the essential system host services including docker wrapper services on an event based model and declare the system is ready. This framework gives provision for docker apps to notify its closest up status. CLIs are provided to fetch the current system status and also service running status and its app ready status along with failure reason if any.
How to verify it

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 image size is too large, when there are multiple lazy packages and multiple platforms. It is not necessary to keep the lazy installation packages in multiple copies.
For cisco image, the image size will reduce from 3.5G to 1.7G.
How I did it
Use symbol links to only keep one package for each of the lazy package.
Make a new folder fsroot/platform/common
Copy the lazy packages into the folder.
When using a package in each of the platform, such as x86_64-grub, x86_64-8800_rp-r0, x86_64-8201_on-r0, etc, only make a symbol link to the package in the common folder.
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.

Profiling the system state on init after fast-reboot during create_switch function execution, it is possible to see few python scripts running at the same time.
This parallel execution consume CPU time and the duration of create_switch is longer than it should be.
Following this finding, and the motivation to ensure these services will not interfere in the future, PMON is delayed in 90 seconds until the system finish the init flow after fastboot.
- How I did it
Add a timer for PMON service.
Exclude for MLNX platform the start trigger of PMON when SYNCD starts in case of fastboot.
Copy the timer file to the host bin image.
- How to verify it
Run fast-reboot on MLNX platform and observe faster create_switch execution time.

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.
How to verify it
I verified this change on lab device str-s6000-acs-12. Another pytest PR (Azure/sonic-mgmt#5492) is submitted in sonic-mgmt repo for review.
The interface renaming logic fails if one interface is missing.
Because of the `set -e` the whole initramfs hook would abort early on
error.
This change fixes the current behavior to make sure missing interfaces
are properly skipped and ensure existing interface are renamed.
