chassis-packet: missing arp entries for static routes causing high orchagent cpu usage
It is observed that some sonic-mgmt test case calls sonic-clear arp, which clears the static arp entries as well. Orchagent or arp_update process does not try to resolve the missing arp entries after clear.
How I did it
arp_update should resolve the missing arp/ndp static route
entries. Added code to check for missing entries and try ping if any
found to resolve it.
How to verify it
After boot or config reload, check ipv4 and ipv4 neigh entries to make sure all static route entries are present
manual validation:
Use sonic-clear arp and sonic-clear ndp to clear all neighbor entries
run arp_update
Check for neigh entries. All entries should be present.
Testing on T0 setup route/for test_static_route.py
The test set the STATIC_ROUTE entry in conifg db without ifname:
sonic-db-cli CONFIG_DB hmset 'STATIC_ROUTE|2.2.2.0/24' nexthop 192.168.0.18,192.168.0.25,192.168.0.23
"STATIC_ROUTE": {
"2.2.2.0/24": {
"nexthop": "192.168.0.18,192.168.0.25,192.168.0.23"
}
},
Validate that the arp_update gets the proper ARP_UPDATE_VARDS using arp_update_vars.j2 template from config db and does not crash:
{ "switch_type": "", "interface": "", "pc_interface" : "PortChannel101 PortChannel102 PortChannel103 PortChannel104 ", "vlan_sub_interface": "", "vlan" : "Vlan1000", "static_route_nexthops": "192.168.0.18 192.168.0.25 192.168.0.23 ", "static_route_ifnames": "" }
validate route/test_static_route.py testcase pass.
arp_update should resolve the missing arp/ndp static route
entries. Added code to check for missing entries and try ping to
resolve the missing entry.

Vendor platform may require running platform specific pre-shutdown routine before shutting down the syncd process which runs the SAI and vendor sdk instance.
How I did it
Added a platform script hook which will be executed if the plugin script is provided by the platform in device//plugins/
Changing the default config knob value to be True for killing radv, due to the reasons below:
Killing RADV is to prevent sending the "cease to be advertising interface" protocol packet.
RFC 4861 says this ceasing packet as "should" instead of "must", considering that it's fatal to not do this.
In active-active scenario, host side might have difficulty distinguish if the "cease to be advertising interface" is for the last interface leaving.
6.2.5. Ceasing To Be an Advertising Interface
shutting down the system.
In such cases, the router SHOULD transmit one or more (but not more
than MAX_FINAL_RTR_ADVERTISEMENTS) final multicast Router
Advertisements on the interface with a Router Lifetime field of zero.
In the case of a router becoming a host, the system SHOULD also
depart from the all-routers IP multicast group on all interfaces on
which the router supports IP multicast (whether or not they had been
advertising interfaces). In addition, the host MUST ensure that
subsequent Neighbor Advertisement messages sent from the interface
have the Router flag set to zero.

Limiting #12804 changes to PikeZ platform only (Arista-720DT-48S). Note that this is a short term workaround for this platform until SDK investigation on SDK init failure on docker syncd restart due to DMA issues is resolved.

Why I did it
There is an issue on the Arista PikeZ platform (using T3.X2: BCM56274) while running SONiC. If the 'syncd' container in SONiC is restarted, the expected behaviour is that syncd will automatically restart/recover; however it does not and always fails at create_switch due to BCM SDK kmod DMA operation cancellation getting stuck.
Sep 16 22:19:44.855125 pkz208 ERR syncd#syncd: [none] SAI_API_SWITCH:platform_process_command:428 Platform command "init soc" failed, rc = -1.

Reloading the BCM SDK kmods allows the switch init to continue properly.
How I did it
If BCM SDK kmods are loaded, unload and load them again on syncd docker start script.
How to verify it
Steps to reproduce:
In SONiC, run 'docker ps' to see current running containers; 'syncd' should be present.
Run 'docker stop syncd'
Wait ~1 minute.
Run 'docker ps' to see that syncd is missing.
Check logs to see messages similar to the above.

Fix the issue where arp_update will not ping some of the ip's even
though they are in failed state since grep of that ip on ip neigh show
command does not do exact word match and can return multiple match.
Why I did it
If the SWSS services was restarted, the MACsec service should also be restarted. Otherwise the data in wpa_supplicant and orchagent will not be consistent.
How I did it
Add dependency in docker-macsec.mk.
How to verify it
Manually check by 'sudo service swss restart'.
The MACsec container should be started after swss, the syslog will look like

After pinging any failed IPv6 neighbor entries, set the remaining failed/incomplete entries to a permanent INCOMPLETE state. This manual setting to INCOMPLETE prevents these entries from automatically transitioning to FAILED state, and since they are now incomplete any subsequent NA messages for these neighbors is able to resolve the entry in the cache.

As part of PR #11754
Change was added to use variable SONIC_DB_NS_CLI for
namespace but that will not work since ./files/scripts/syncd_common.sh
uses SONIC_DB_CLI. So revert back to use SONIC_DB_CLI and define new
variable for SONIC_GLOBAL_DB_CLI for global/host db cli access
Also fixed DB_CLI not working for namespace.
Change `sxdkernel start` to `sxdkernel restart`. If `syncd` service crashes in `ExecStartPre` systemd will not call `ExecStop` and thus will not call `sxdkernel stop`. Use of `sxdkernel restart` is more robust in terms of guarantees to restore the system after unexpected crashes.

Why I did:
In case of multi-asic platforms gbsyncd is not getting added to Feature Table of Host Config DB. Without this container_checker complains of not needed gbsyncd container's are running.
How I did:
Update Both Host and Namespace config db when gbsyncd docker is starting.
How I verify:
Verified on Multi-asic platforms.
bgp should be a per-asic service, and runs for each namespace on
multi-asic platforms. However, putting bgp in MULTI_INST_DEPENDENT
causes swss to be restarted as well as bgp. this is causing issues after #11000
Issue: #11653
This fix:
removes bgp from dependents list
adds a conditional that either adds bgp, or bgp@$DEV to separate
between single and multi-asic platforms
In arp_update, check for FAILED or INCOMPLETE kernel neighbor entries and manually ping them to try and resolve the neighbor

When using trap on SIGTERM the script will not react to the SIGTERM signal sent while a child is executing.
I.e, the following script does not react on SIGTERM sent to it if it is
waiting for sleep to finish:
```
trap "echo Handled SIGTERM" 0 2 3 15
echo "Before sleep"
sleep inf
echo "After sleep"
```
Instead, trap only on EXIT which covers also a scenario with exit on
SIGINT, SIGTERM.

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.
How I did it
Update the script to always provide initial values.
How to verify it
Tested on active-active dual-tor testbed.

What I did:

Why I did it:
bgp container was not restarting on swss crash. When swss crashes, linkmgrd
doesn't initate a switchover because it cannot access the default route from
orchagent. Bringing down bgp with swss will isolate the ToR, causing linkmgrd
to initiate a switchover to the peer ToR avoiding significant packet loss.

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.
