Current state of distro packages systemd unit deps (extract): - dpdk.service wants network-pre.target; - network-pre.target wants openvswitch-nonetwork.service; - openvswitch-switch.service wants openvswitch-nonetwork.service, network.target; However, openvswitch-nonetwork requires ports to be bound already, handled by dpdk service. On system boot, since openvswitch-nonetwork starts before dpdk (succesfully, despite the binding issue), and the ulterior start of openvswitch-switch does not trigger a restart, the system is left in a slightly broken state, fixed by restarting either of the openvswitch-* services. To avoid another race condition leading to dead openvswitch-switch, restart the openvswitch-nonetwork service directly. Signed-off-by: Alexandru Avadanii <[email protected]>

The OVS documentation recommends not to touch openvswitch-nonetwork directly, so an alternative method would be for dpdk.service to wait for openvswitch-switch.service (counterintuitive), and when dpdk.service is done, it can restart openvswitch-switch.service directly. |

This took me a few hours to sort out.
The first bit (missing dependency on dpdk service) is quite straightforward, and also described by the last comments in [1].
The second part - using systemctl in a post-start hook - definitely not clean, but I couldn't find anything better in systemd that works for this corner case of interleaved dependencies ...
