This is the ported version of commit 36d5fe6a with the same name from net-next.
Apart from the small datapath.c changes it adjust the compat layer files as
well. This is the original commit message:
"skb_zerocopy can copy elements of the frags array between skbs, but it doesn't
orphan them. Also, it doesn't handle errors, so this patch takes care of that
as well, and modify the callers accordingly. skb_tx_error() is also added to
the callers so they will signal the failed delivery towards the creator of the
skb."

Flow statistics need to take into account the TCP flags from the packet
currently being processed (in 'key'), not the TCP flags matched by the
flow found in the kernel flow table (in 'flow').
This bug made the Open vSwitch userspace fin_timeout action have no effect
in many cases.
Bug #1219516.

Add support for building the in-tree kernel datapath for
Linux kernels up to 3.13. There were some changes in the
netlink area which required adding new compatibility code
for this layer. Also, some new per-cpu stats initialization
code was added.

Reduce and clarify locking requirements for ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info(),
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() and ovs_flow_cmd_build_info().
A datapath pointer is available only when holding a lock. Change
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() and ovs_flow_cmd_build_info() to take a
dp_ifindex directly, rather than a datapath pointer that is then
(only) used to get the dp_ifindex. This is useful, since the
dp_ifindex is available even when the datapath pointer is not, both
before and after taking a lock, which makes further critical section
reduction possible.
Make ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info() take an 'acts' argument instead a
'flow' pointer. This allows some future patches to do the allocation
before acquiring the flow pointer.
The locking requirements after this patch are:
ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info(): May be called without locking, must not be
called while holding the RCU read lock (due to memory allocation).
If 'acts' belong to a flow in the flow table, however, then the
caller must hold ovs_mutex.
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info(): Either ovs_mutex or RCU read lock must be held.
ovs_flow_cmd_build_info(): This calls both of the above, so the caller
must hold ovs_mutex.

Move most memory allocations away from the ovs_mutex critical
sections. vport allocations still happen while the lock is taken, as
changing that would require major refactoring. Also, vports are
created very rarely so it should not matter.
Change ovs_dp_cmd_get() now only takes the rcu_read_lock(), rather
than ovs_lock(), as nothing need to be changed. This was done by
ovs_vport_cmd_get() already.

Flow SET can accept an empty set of actions, with the intended
semantics of leaving existing actions unmodified. This seems to have
been brokin after OVS 1.7, as we have assigned the flow's actions
pointer to NULL in this case, but we never check for the NULL pointer
later on. This patch restores the intended behavior and documents it

Minimize padding in sw_flow_key and move 'tp' top the main struct.
These changes simplify code when accessing the transport port numbers
and the tcp flags, and makes the sw_flow_key 8 bytes smaller on 64-bit
systems (128->120 bytes). These changes also make the keys for IPv4
packets to fit in one cache line.
There is a valid concern for safety of packing the struct
ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel, as it would be possible to take the address of
the tun_id member as a __be64 * which could result in unaligned access
in some systems. However:
- sw_flow_key itself is 64-bit aligned, so the tun_id within is always
64-bit aligned.
- We never make arrays of ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel (which would force every
second tun_key to be misaligned).
- We never take the address of the tun_id in to a __be64 *.
- Whereever we use struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel outside the sw_flow_key,
it is in stack (on tunnel input functions), where compiler has full
control of the alignment.

While the zerocopy method is correctly omitted if user space
does not support unaligned Netlink messages. The attribute is
still not padded correctly as skb_zerocopy() will not ensure
padding and the attribute size is no longer pre calculated
though nla_reserve() which ensured padding previously.
This patch applies appropriate padding if a linear data copy
was performed in skb_zerocopy().

Use percpu allocator for stats due to objection to stats array.
But percpu allocator is not designed for high churn allocation/
deallcation. so we need to avoid allocating percpu flow for
short lived flows. One cheaper way to detect flow is by checking
if 5-tuple used in RSS are masked or not. if any one of them is
masked, flow is likely shared across CPU where percpu stat
should be more scalable. And that flow should be relatively
long lived flow.
