Change the date type of error status from u64 to atomic_long_t, and use atomic
operation, then remove the lock which is used to protect the error status.

8b7ea2d480 Extend OVS IPFIX exporter to export tunnel headers
Extend IPFIX exporter to export tunnel headers when both input and output

Add three other_config options in IPFIX table: enable-input-sampling,
enable-output-sampling and enable-tunnel-sampling, to control whether
sampling tunnel info, on which direction (input or output).
Insert sampling action before output action and the output tunnel port
is sent to datapath in the sampling action.
Make datapath collect output tunnel info and send it back to userpace
in upcall message with a new additional optional attribute.
Add a tunnel ports map to make the tunnel port lookup faster in sampling
upcalls in IPFIX exporter. Make the IPFIX exporter generate IPFIX template
sets with enterprise elements for the tunnel info, save the tunnel info
in IPFIX cache entries, and send IPFIX DATA with tunnel info.
Add flowDirection element in IPFIX templates.

09f27436b1 datapath: Change u64_stats_* to use _irq instead of _bh().
The upstream u64_stats API has been changed to remove the _bh()
versions and switch all consumers to use IRQ safe variants instead.
This was done to be safe for netpoll generated packets, which can
occur in hard IRQ context. From a safety perspective, this doesn't
directly affect OVS since it doesn't support netpoll. However, this
change has been backported to older kernels so OVS needs to use the
new API to compile.

c1fc1411d2 datapath: Add support for Geneve tunneling.
This adds support for Geneve - Generic Network Virtualization
Encapsulation. The protocol is documented at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gross-geneve-00

The kernel implementation is completely agnostic to the options
that are in use and can handle newly defined options without
further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array
of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

Userspace currently implements only support for basic version of
Geneve. It can work with the base header (including the VNI) and
is capable of parsing options but does not currently support any
particular option definitions. Over time, the intention is to
allow options to be matched through OpenFlow without requiring
explicit support in OVS userspace.

f0cd669f19 datapath: Wrap struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel in a new structure.
Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and
the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However,
as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable,
as in the case of pointers.

This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains
only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel
since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version
of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.

f8dfbcb77d datapath: hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

a6ae068b7b Add support for LISP tunneling
LISP is an experimental layer 3 tunneling protocol, described in RFC
6830.  This patch adds support for LISP tunneling.  Since LISP
encapsulated packets do not carry an Ethernet header, it is removed
before encapsulation, and added with hardcoded source and destination
MAC addresses after decapsulation.  The harcoded MAC chosen for this
purpose is the locally administered address 02:00:00:00:00:00.  Flow
actions can be used to rewrite this MAC for correct reception.  As such,
this patch is intended to be used for static network configurations, or
with a LISP capable controller.

necessary for tunnel ports (the addresses for actual devices can be

reflects these changes, so this drops the functionality from the
kernel.

Currently brcompat does not work on master due to recent

79f827fa8b datapath: Add support for VXLAN tunnels to Open vSwitch
Add support for VXLAN tunnels to Open vSwitch. Add support
for setting the destination UDP port on a per-port basis.
This is done by adding a "dst_port" parameter to the port
configuration. This is only applicable currently to VXLAN
tunnels.

Please note this currently does not implement any sort of multicast
learning. With this patch, VXLAN tunnels must be configured similar
to GRE tunnels (e.g. point to point). A subsequent patch will implement
a VXLAN control plane in userspace to handle multicast learning.

This patch set is based on one posted by Ben Pfaff on Oct. 12, 2011
to the ovs-dev mailing list:

http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2011-October/012051.html

The patch has been maintained, updated, and freshened by me and a
version of it is available at the following github repository:

https://github.com/mestery/ovs-vxlan/tree/vxlan

I've tested this patch with multiple VXLAN tunnels between hosts
using different UDP port numbers. Performance is on par (though
slightly faster) than comparable GRE tunnels.

See the following IETF draft for additional information about VXLAN:

356af50bc2 datapath: Add support for tun_key to Open vSwitch datapath
This is a first pass at providing a tun_key which can be
used as the basis for flow-based tunnelling. The
tun_key includes and replaces the tun_id in both struct
ovs_skb_cb and struct sw_tun_key.

This patch allows all existing tun_id behaviour to still work. Existing
users of tun_id are redirected to tun_key->tun_id to retain compatibility.
However, when the userspace code is updated to make use of the new
tun_key, the old behaviour will be deprecated and removed.

NOTE: With these changes, the tunneling code no longer assumes input and
output keys are symmetric.  If they are not, PMTUD needs to be disabled
for tunneling to work.
