bgpd: Suppress redundant L3VNI delete processing
Consider a master bridge interface (br_l3vni) having a slave vxlan99 mapped to vlans used by 3 L3VNIs. During ifdown br_l3vni interface, the function zebra_vxlan_process_l3vni_oper_down() where zebra sends ZAPI to bgp for a delete L3VNI is sent twice. 1) if_down -> zebra_vxlan_svi_down() 2) VXLAN is unlinked from the bridge i.e. vxlan99 zebra_if_dplane_ifp_handling() --> zebra_vxlan_if_update_vni() (since ZEBRA_VXLIF_MASTER_CHANGE flag is set) During ifup br_l3vni interface, the function zebra_vxlan_process_l3vni_oper_down() is invoked because of access-vlan change - process oper down, associate with new svi_if and then process oper up again The problem here is that the redundant ZAPI message of L3VNI delete results in BGP doing a inline Global table walk for remote route installation when the L3VNI is already removed/deleted. Bigger the scale, more wastage is the CPU utilization. Given the triggers for bridge flap is not a common scenario, idea is to simply return from BGP if the L3VNI is already set to 0 i.e. if the L3VNI is already deleted, do nothing and return. NOTE/TBD: An ideal fix is to make zebra not send the second L3VNI delete ZAPI message. However it is a much involved and a day-1 code to handle corner cases.
