This seems to not happen in VMs running on ppc64el, and doesn't occur
on x86_64. I've also tested latest mainline tree and it also occurs.
With numa=off this problem doesn't occur.
reverting commit 3af229f2071f5b5cb31664be6109561fbe19c861 fixes the
issue.
[Test Case]
# apt-get install openvswitch-switch
# ip link add type veth peer name testveth0
# ovs-vsctl add-br integbr
