On S6100 we are seeing almost 100K interrupts per second on intels i801 SMBUS controller which affects systems performance.
We now disable the i801 driver interrupt and instead enable polling
Microsoft ADO (number only): 24910530
How I did it
Disable the interrupt by passing the interrupt disable feature argument to i2c-i801 driver
How to verify it
This fix is NOT applicable for ARM based platforms. Applicable only for intel based platforms:-
- On SN2700 its already disabled in Mellanox hw-mgmt
- Celestica DX010 and E1031
- Dell S6100 verified the interrupts are no longer incrementing.
- Arista 7260CX3

There is a redundant line in init_cfg.json.j2. It would cause pmon service always has "has_timer=False". However, we know that PMON has a timer now. So, I try to fix it here.
* [chassis]Chassis DB cleanup when asic comes up
Cleanup the entries from the following tables in chassis app db in
redis_chassis server in the supervisor
(1) SYSTEM_NEIGH
(2) SYSTEM_INTERFACE
(3) SYSTEM_LAG_MEMBER_TABLE
(4) SYSTEM_LAG_TABLE
As part of the clean up only those entries created by the asic that
is coming up are deleted. The LAG IDs used by the asics are also
de-allocated from SYSTEM_LAG_ID_TABLE and SYSTEM_LAG_ID_SET
- Added check to run the chassis db clean up only for voq switches.

A workaround to back port the fix for a systemd issue.
The systemd issue: systemd/systemd#24668
The systemd PR to fix the issue: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/24673/files
The formal solution should upgrade systemd to a version that contains the fix. But, systemd is a very basic service, upgrading systemd requires heavy test.
Fixes#15667 and #13293

After docker_inram is enabled, the docker folder's default max size is 1.5G.
It's not big enough for some tests which need to install additional docker images or install extra packages.

* Re-add 127.0.0.1/8 when bringing down the interfaces
With #5353, 127.0.0.1/16 was added to the lo interface, and then
127.0.0.1/8 was removed. However, when bringing down the lo interface,
like during a config reload, 127.0.0.1/16 gets removed, but 127.0.0.1/8
isn't added back to the interface. This means that there's a period of
time where 127.0.0.1 is not available at all, and services that need to
connect to 127.0.01 (such as for redis DB) will fail.
To fix this, when going down, add 127.0.0.1/8. Add this address before
the existing configuration gets removed, so that 127.0.0.1 is available
at all times.
Note that running `ifdown lo` doesn't actually bring down the loopback
interface; the interface always stays "physically" up.

* [Arista] Fix boot0 code for docker_inram
Enable docker_inram for all systems with 4GB or less of flash.
This is mandatory to allow these systems to store 2 SONiC images.
This change also fixes the missing docker_inram attribute when
installing a new image from SONiC.
Because the SWI image can ship with additional kernel parameters within
such as `sonic_fips=` this lead to a conflict.
To prevent the conflict, the extra kernel parameters from the SWI are
now stored in the file `kernel-cmdline-append` which isn't used anywhere.
* Add optional zram compression for docker_inram
Some devices running SONiC have a small storage device (2G and 4G mainly)
The SONiC image growth over time has made it impossible to install
2 images on a single device.
Some mitigations have been implemented in the past for some devices but
there is a need to do more.
One such mitigation is `docker_inram` which creates a `tmpfs` and
extracts `dockerfs.tar.gz` in it.
This all happens in the SONiC initramfs and by ensuring the installation
process does not extract `dockerfs.tar.gz` on the flash but keep the file as is.
This mitigation does a tradeoff by using more RAM to reduce the disk footprint.
It however creates new issues for devices with 4G of system memory since
the extracted `dockerfs.tar.gz` nears the 1.6G.
Considering debian upgrades (with dual base images) and the continuous
stream of features this is only going to get bigger.
This change introduces an alternative to the `tmpfs` by allowing a system
to extract the `dockerfs.tar.gz` inside a `zram` device thus bringing
compression in play at the detriment of performance.
Introduce 2 new optional kernel parameters to be consumed by SONiC initramfs.
- `docker_inram_size` which represent the max physical size of the
`zram` or `tmpfs` volume (defaults to DOCKER_RAMFS_SIZE)
- `docker_inram_algo` which is the method to use to extract the
`dockerfs.tar.gz` (defaults to `tmpfs`)
other values are considered to be compression algorithm for `zram`
(e.g `zstd`, `zlo-rle`, `lz4`)
Refactored the logic to mount the docker fs in the SONiC initramfs under
the `union-mount` script.
Moved the code into a function to make it cleaner and separated the
inram volume creation and docker extraction.
On Arista platform with a flash smaller or equal to 4GB set
`docker_inram_algo` to `zstd` which produces the best compression ratio
at the detriment of a slower write performance and a similar read
performance to other `zram` compression algorithms.

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.
