In this situation, where the mirror session is inactive, was the ACL rule created and then removed?

Hi, thank you for reviewing. In this case the ACL rule, was not created at all by SAI.
ACL entry creation happens at the bottom of AclRuleMirror::activate() function via AclRule::createRule(), but code execution never reaches that point since function returns earlier when state == false, i.e., for inactive session.

If the ACL rule was never created, would it be possible not to create the counter at the beginning?
(Instead of it being created and then removed)

Looking into it. Thanks for your suggestion.

* Don't install counters when session rule is inactive. Mirror session is not activated and thus, the ACL rule is not created in sairedis/SAI (there is no next hop for the mirror destination IP). However, orchagent creates and registers the ACL counter with the flexcounter (FC) and the counter is being polled every polling interval. Since the ACL counter is not attached to any ACL rule, the BCM SAI introduces print errors in syslog. Signed-off-by: fountzou <[email protected]>

Hi @prsunny. Title has been fixed -- thanks. Looking into this but not sure yet if it is related to my code changes; Noticed in the pipelines that there are several PRs that fail in the same testcase. Thank you |
