Add support matching the IPv4 TTL and IPv6 hop limit fields. This
commit also adds support for modifying the IPv4 TTL. Modifying the IPv6
hop limit isn't currently supported, since we don't support modifying
IPv6 headers.
We will likely want to change the user-space interface, since basic
matching and setting the TTL are not generally useful. We will probably
want the ability to match on extraordinary events (such as TTL of 0 or 1)
and a decrement action.

On some platforms, the in6_addr structure is made up of 16- or 32-bit
members. Depending on the members of the "flow" structure, this can
lead to holes in the middle. Moving the IPv6 addresses to the middle
fixes that on these platforms.
Following patch adds skb-priority to flow key. So userspace will know
what was priority when packet arrived and we can remove the pop/reset
priority action. It's no longer necessary to have a special action for
pop that is based on the kernel remembering original skb->priority.
Userspace can just emit a set priority action with the original value.
Since the priority field is a match field with just a normal set action,
we can convert it into the new model for actions that are based on
matches.

Bug #7715
Until now, OVS has handled IP fragments more awkwardly than necessary. It
has not been possible to match on L4 headers, even in fragments with offset
0 where they are actually present. This means that there was no way to
implement ACLs that treat, say, different TCP ports differently, on
fragmented traffic; instead, all decisions for fragment forwarding had to
be made on the basis of L2 and L3 headers alone.
This commit improves the situation significantly. It is still not possible
to match on L4 headers in fragments with nonzero offset, because that
information is simply not present in such fragments, but this commit adds
the ability to match on L4 headers for fragments with zero offset. This
means that it becomes possible to implement ACLs that drop such "first
fragments" on the basis of L4 headers. In practice, that effectively
blocks even fragmented traffic on an L4 basis, because the receiving IP
stack cannot reassemble a full packet when the first fragment is missing.
This commit works by adding a new "fragment type" to the kernel flow match
and making it available through OpenFlow as a new NXM field named
NXM_NX_IP_FRAG. Because OpenFlow 1.0 explicitly says that the L4 fields
are always 0 for IP fragments, it adds a new OpenFlow fragment handling
mode that fills in the L4 fields for "first fragments". It also enhances
ovs-ofctl to allow users to configure this new fragment handling mode and
to parse the new field.

Bug #7557.
Commit d2c0fe (nicira-ext: Bump number of registers to five from four.)
broke the build on 64-bit systems. This commit fixes the problems it
introduced.
The "flow" module is concerned only with OpenFlow flows these days. It
shouldn't have anything to do with ODP or dpifs. However, it included
dpif.h just to implement flow_extract_stats(). This function is a better
fit for dpif.c, so this commit moves it there and removes the dpif.h
#include from flow.h and flow.c
This commit also removes a few more dpif.h #includes that weren't needed.
These headers don't really need datapath-protocol.h. connmgr.h indirectly
used "struct nlattr" from that header, so add a forward declaration. (The
next commit will remove use of struct nlattr entirely from that header,
since it is not really appropriate.)
Changing "struct flow" or its wildcards requires minor adjustments
in many places in the code. This patch adds a new FLOW_WC_SEQ
sequence number which when incremented will cause build assertion
failures aiding the developer in finding code which needs to
change.
Future patches will use nx_hash_fields for non-multipath related
actions. This patch renames nx_mp_fields and creates a new
flow_hash_fields() function.
I know already that this breaks the statsfixes that were implemented by the
following commits:
827ab71c97f "ofproto: Datapath statistics accounted twice."
6f1435fc8f7 "ofproto: Resubmit statistics improperly account during..."
These were already broken in a previous merge. I will work on a fix.
In addition to the changes to ofproto, this commit changes all of the
instances of "struct flow" in the tree so that the "in_port" member is an
OpenFlow port number. Previously, this member was an OpenFlow port number
in some cases and an ODP port number in other cases.
IPv6 uses Neighbor Discovery messages in a similar manner to how IPv4
uses ARP. This commit adds support for matching deeper into the
payloads of Neighbor Solicitation (NS) and Neighbor Advertisement (NA)
messages. Currently, the matching fields include:
- NS and NA Target (nd_target)
- NS Source Link Layer Address (nd_sll)
- NA Target Link Layer Address (nd_tll)
When defining IPv6 Neighbor Discovery rules, the Nicira Extensible Match
(NXM) extension to OVS must be used.

Provides ability to match over IPv6 traffic in the same manner as IPv4.
Currently, the matching fields include:
- IPv6 source and destination addresses (ipv6_src and ipv6_dst)
- Traffic Class (nw_tos)
- Next Header (nw_proto)
- ICMPv6 Type and Code (icmp_type and icmp_code)
- TCP and UDP Ports over IPv6 (tp_src and tp_dst)

OpenFlow 1.0 doesn't allow matching on the ARP source and target
hardware address. This has caused us to introduce hacks such as the
Drop Spoofed ARP action. Now that we have extensible match, we can
match on more fields within ARP:
- Source Hardware Address (arp_sha)
- Target Hardware Address (arp_tha)

Following this commit, "struct odp_flow_stats" is only used in
Linux-specific parts of OVS userspace code. This allows the actual Linux
datapath interface to evolve more freely.
Reviewed by Justin Pettit.
One of the goals for Open vSwitch is to decouple kernel and userspace
software, so that either one can be upgraded or rolled back independent of
the other. To do this in full generality, it must be possible to change
the kernel's idea of the flow key separately from the userspace version.
In turn, that means that flow keys must become variable-length. This
commit makes that change using Netlink attribute sequences.
This commit does not actually make userspace flexible enough to handle
changes in the kernel flow key structure, because userspace doesn't yet
have enough information to do that intelligently. Upcoming commits will
fix that.

The compiler wants to pad structures to a multiple of the native
datatype for the architecture, so a multiple of 4 on 32-bit platforms
and a multiple of 8 on 64-bit. Currently the size struct flow is
a multiple of 4, so the total size with padding varies depending on
the architecture, causing build asserts to fail. This explicitly pads
it out to a multiple of 8 for consistency.
We have a need to identify tunnels with keys longer than 32 bits. This
commit adds basic datapath and OpenFlow support for such keys. It doesn't
actually add any tunnel protocols that support 64-bit keys, so this is not
very useful yet.
The 'arg' member of struct odp_msg had to be expanded to 64-bits also,
because it sometimes contains a tunnel ID. This member also contains the
argument passed to ODPAT_CONTROLLER, so I expanded that action's argument
to 64 bits also so that it can use the full width of the expanded 'arg'.
Userspace doesn't take advantage of the new space though (it was only
using 16 bits anyhow).
This commit has been tested only to the extent that it doesn't disrupt
basic Open vSwitch operation. I have not tested it with tunnel traffic.

Feature #3976.
Before this commit, the compiler would add two bytes of padding to
the 'flow_wildcards' structure to achieve 32bit alignment. These
two bytes had inconsistent values which caused 'flow_wildcards_hash'
to behave inconsistently. This commit explicitly 32bit aligns
'flow_wildcards' with zero padding.
This commit also fixes an issue where in-band rules were not
getting deleted when in-band control was disabled.
This wasn't used intentionally anywhere, but some code was turning it on
accidentally (because it was part of FWW_ALL) and other code was not, which
caused confusion. In particular, the NXM code turned it on by default
and the OpenFlow 1.0 code did not, which caused flow stat requests to
return different results depending on format. Deleting it fixes the bug.

Since the Nicira Extended Match was specified nicira-ext.h has claimed that
arbitrary masks are allowed, but in fact only certain masks were actually
implemented. This commit implements general masking for the 802.1Q VLAN
TCI field.
Originally, wildcards were just the OpenFlow OFPFW_* bits. Then, when
OpenFlow added CIDR masks for IP addresses, struct flow_wildcards was born
with additional members for those masks, derived from the wildcard bits.
Then, when OVS added support for tunnels, we added another bit
NXFW_TUN_ID that coexisted with the OFPFW_*. Later we added even more bits
that do not appear in the OpenFlow 1.0 match structure at all. This had
become really confusing, and the difficulties were especially visible in
the long list of invariants in comments on struct flow_wildcards.
This commit cleanly separates the OpenFlow 1.0 wildcard bits from the
bits used inside Open vSwitch, by defining a new set of bits that are
used only internally to Open vSwitch and converting to and from those
wildcard bits at the point where data comes off or goes onto the wire.
It also moves those functions into ofp-util.[ch] since they are only for
dealing with OpenFlow wire protocol now.
The flow_from_match() and flow_to_match() functions have to deal with most
of the state in a cls_rule anyhow, and this will increase in upcoming
commits, to the point that we might as well just use a cls_rule anyhow.
This commit therefore deletes flow_from_match() and flow_to_match(),
integrating their code into cls_rule_from_match() and the new function
cls_rule_to_match(), respectively. It also changes each of the functions'
callers to use the new cls_rule_*() function.
The old classifier was not adaptive: it required knowing the structure of
the flows that were likely to be in use to get good performance. It is
likely that it degenerated to linear search in any real-world case.
This new classifier is adaptive and should perform better in the real
world.
There are many more places in OVS where using these types would be an
improvement, but the flow code is particularly confusing because it uses
a mix of byte orders.
When userspace and the kernel were using the same structure for flows,
flow_t was a useful way to indicate that a structure was really a userspace
flow instead of a kernel one, but now it's better to just write "struct
flow" for consistency, since OVS doesn't use typedefs for structs
elsewhere.

The "struct odp_flow_key" used in the kernel datapath is conceptually
separate from the "flow_t" used in userspace, but until now we have
used the latter as a typedef for the former for convenience. This commit
separates them. This makes it possible in upcoming commits to change
them independently.
This is cross-ported from the "wdp" branch, which has had it for months.
Add a tun_id field which contains the ID of the encapsulating tunnel
on which a packet was received (0 if not received on a tunnel). Also
add an action which allows the tunnel ID to be set for outgoing
packets. At this point there aren't any tunnel implementations so
these fields don't have any effect.
The matching is exposed to OpenFlow by overloading the high 32 bits
of the cookie as the tunnel ID. ovs-ofctl is capable of turning
on this special behavior using a new "tun-cookie" command but this
command is intentially undocumented to avoid it being used without
a full understanding of the consequences.
