This patch adds support for NSH packet header fields to the OVS
control plane and the userspace datapath. Initially we support the
fields of the NSH base header as defined in
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-sfc-nsh-13.txt
and the fixed context headers specified for metadata format MD1.
The variable length MD2 format is parsed but the TLV context headers
are not yet available for matching.
The NSH fields are modelled as experimenter fields with the dedicated
experimenter class 0x005ad650 proposed for NSH in ONF. The following
fields are defined:
NXOXM code ofctl name Size Comment
=====================================================================
NXOXM_NSH_FLAGS nsh_flags 8 Bits 2-9 of 1st NSH word
(0x005ad650,1)
NXOXM_NSH_MDTYPE nsh_mdtype 8 Bits 16-23
(0x005ad650,2)
NXOXM_NSH_NEXTPROTO nsh_np 8 Bits 24-31

NXOXM_NSH_SPI nsh_spi 24 Bits 0-23 of 2nd NSH word
(0x005ad650,4)
NXOXM_NSH_SI nsh_si 8 Bits 24-31

This commit adds a packet_type attribute to the structs dp_packet and flow
to explicitly carry the type of the packet as prepration for the
introduction of the so-called packet type-aware pipeline (PTAP) in OVS.
The packet_type is a big-endian 32 bit integer with the encoding as
specified in OpenFlow verion 1.5.
The upper 16 bits contain the packet type name space. Pre-defined values
are defined in openflow-common.h:
enum ofp_header_type_namespaces {
OFPHTN_ONF = 0, /* ONF namespace. */
OFPHTN_ETHERTYPE = 1, /* ns_type is an Ethertype. */
OFPHTN_IP_PROTO = 2, /* ns_type is a IP protocol number. */
OFPHTN_UDP_TCP_PORT = 3, /* ns_type is a TCP or UDP port. */
OFPHTN_IPV4_OPTION = 4, /* ns_type is an IPv4 option number. */
};
The lower 16 bits specify the actual type in the context of the name space.
Only name spaces 0 and 1 will be supported for now.
For name space OFPHTN_ONF the relevant packet type is 0 (Ethernet).
This is the default packet_type in OVS and the only one supported so far.
Packets of type (OFPHTN_ONF, 0) are called Ethernet packets.
In name space OFPHTN_ETHERTYPE the type is the Ethertype of the packet.
A packet of type (OFPHTN_ETHERTYPE, <Ethertype>) is a standard L2 packet
whith the Ethernet header (and any VLAN tags) removed to expose the L3
(or L2.5) payload of the packet. These will simply be called L3 packets.
The Ethernet address fields dl_src and dl_dst in struct flow are not
applicable for an L3 packet and must be zero. However, to maintain
compatibility with the large code base, we have chosen to copy the
Ethertype of an L3 packet into the the dl_type field of struct flow.
This does not mean that it will be possible to match on dl_type for L3
packets with PTAP later on. Matching must be done on packet_type instead.
New dp_packets are initialized with packet_type Ethernet. Ports that
receive L3 packets will have to explicitly adjust the packet_type.

Flow key handling changes:
- Add VLAN header array in struct flow, to record multiple 802.1q VLAN
headers.
- Add dpif multi-VLAN capability probing. If datapath supports
multi-VLAN, increase the maximum depth of nested OVS_KEY_ATTR_ENCAP.
Refactor VLAN handling in dpif-xlate:
- Introduce 'xvlan' to track VLAN stack during flow processing.
- Input and output VLAN translation according to the xbundle type.
Push VLAN action support:
- Allow ethertype 0x88a8 in VLAN headers and push_vlan action.
- Support push_vlan on dot1q packets.
Use other_config:vlan-limit in table Open_vSwitch to limit maximum VLANs
that can be matched. This allows us to preserve backwards compatibility.
Add test cases for VLAN depth limit, Multi-VLAN actions and QinQ VLAN
handling

Add logics to detect the max level of nesting allowed by the
sample action implemented in the datapath.
Future patch allows xlate code to generate different odp actions
based on this information.

This fixes several tests that failed on big-endian systems because "union
flow_in_port" overlays an ofp_port_t and odp_port_t and in some cases it
is not easy to determine which one is in use.
This commit also fixes up a few places where this broke other code.
