OpenFlow 1.2+ defines a means for vendors to define vendor-specific OXM
fields, called "experimenter OXM". These OXM fields are expressed with a
64-bit OXM header instead of the 32-bit header used for standard OXM (and
NXM). Until now, OVS has not implemented experimenter OXM, and indeed we
have had little need to do so because of a pair of special 32-bit OXM classes
grandfathered to OVS as part of the OpenFlow 1.2 standardization process.
However, I want to prototype a feature for OpenFlow 1.5 that uses an
experimenter OXM as part of the prototype, so to do this OVS needs to
support experimenter OXM. This commit adds that support.
Most of this commit is a fairly straightforward change: it extends the type
used for OXM/NXM from 32 to 64 bits and adds code to encode and decode the
longer headers when necessary. Some other changes are necessary because
experimenter OXMs have a funny idea of the division between "header" and
"body": the extra 32 bits for experimenter OXMs are counted as part of the body
rather than the header according to the OpenFlow standard (even though this
does not entirely make sense), so arithmetic in various places has to be
adjusted, which is the reason for the new functions nxm_experimenter_len(),
nxm_payload_len(), and nxm_header_len().
Another change that calls for explanation is the new function mf_nxm_header()
that has been split from mf_oxm_header(). This function is used in actions
where the space for an NXM or OXM header is fixed so that there is no room
for a 64-bit experimenter type. An upcoming commit will add new variations
of these actions that can support experimenter OXM.
Testing experimenter OXM is tricky because I do not know of any in
widespread use. Two ONF proposals use experimenter OXMs: EXT-256 and
EXT-233. EXT-256 is not suitable to implement for testing because its use
of experimenter OXM is wrong and will be changed. EXT-233 is not suitable
to implement for testing because it requires adding a new field to struct
flow and I am not yet convinced that that field and the feature that it
supports is worth having in Open vSwitch. Thus, this commit assigns an
experimenter OXM code point to an existing OVS field that is currently
restricted from use by controllers, "dp_hash", and uses that for testing.
Because controllers cannot use it, this leaves future versions of OVS free
to drop the support for the experimenter OXM for this field without causing
backward compatibility problems.

OpenFlow 1.5 (draft) extends the OFPAT_SET_FIELD action originally
introduced in OpenFlow 1.2 so that it can set not just entire fields but
any subset of bits within a field as well. This commit adds support for
that feature when OpenFlow 1.5 is used.
With this feature, OFPAT_SET_FIELD becomes a superset of NXAST_REG_LOAD.
Thus, this commit merges the implementations of the two actions into a
single ofpact_set_field.

This improves the general abstraction of OXM/NXM by eliminating direct

Some function renaming might be called for; for example, mf_oxm_header()

nx-match. However, these renamings would make this commit larger and

At the time that Open vSwitch implemented registers, there was a high cost
to adding additional fields, so I wrote the code so that the number of
registers could be reduced at compile time. Now, fields are cheaper
(though not free) and in the meantime I have never heard of anyone reducing
the number of registers. Since I intend to add more code that would
require awkward "#if"s like this, I think that this is a good time to
simplify it by requiring FLOW_N_REGS to be fixed. This commit does that.

Add a prefix tree (trie) structure for tracking the used address
space, enabling skipping classifier tables containing longer masks
than necessary for an address field value in a packet header being
classified. This enables less unwildcarding for datapath flows in
parts of the address space without host routes.
Trie lookup is interwoven to the staged lookup, so that a trie is
searched only when the configured trie field becomes relevant
for the lookup. The trie lookup results are retained so that each
trie is checked at most once for each classifier lookup.
This implementation tracks the number of rules at each address prefix
for the whole classifier. More aggressive table skipping would be
possible by maintaining lists of tables that have prefixes at the
lengths encountered on tree traversal, or by maintaining separate
tries for subsets of rules separated by metadata fields.
Prefix tracking is configured via OVSDB. A new column "prefixes" is
added to the database table "Flow_Table". "prefixes" is a set of
string values listing the field names for which prefix lookup should
be used.
As of now, the fields for which prefix lookup can be enabled are:
- tun_id, tun_src, tun_dst
- nw_src, nw_dst (or aliases ip_src and ip_dst)
- ipv6_src, ipv6_dst
There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any one
flow table. Currently this limit is 3.
Examples:
ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:0=@N1 -- \
--id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table0
ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 flow_tables:1=@N1 -- \
--id=@N1 create Flow_Table name=table1
ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table0 prefixes=ip_dst,ip_src
ovs-vsctl set Flow_Table table1 prefixes=[]

The skb_mark field is currently only available with the Linux datapath
and is only used internally. However, it is desirable to expose this
through OpenFlow and when it is exposed ideally it would not be system-
specific. In preparation for this, skb_mark is rename to pkt_mark in
internal data structures for consistency.
This does not rename the Linux interfaces because doing so would break
the API. It would not necessarily be desirable to do anyways since in
Linux-specific code it is clearer to use the actual name rather than a
generic one. This can lead to confusion in some places, however, because
we do not always strictly separate generic and platform dependent code
(one example is actions). This seems inevitable though at this point if
the lower and upper layers have different names (as they must given the
above requirements).

This patch implements use-space datapath and non-datapath code
to match and use the datapath API set out in Leo Alterman's patch
"user-space datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel".
The resulting MPLS implementation supports:
* Pushing a single MPLS label
* Poping a single MPLS label
* Modifying an MPLS lable using set-field or load actions
that act on the label value, tc and bos bit.
* There is no support for manipulating the TTL
this is considered future work.
The single-level push pop limitation is implemented by processing
push, pop and set-field/load actions in order and discarding information
that would require multiple levels of push/pop to be supported.
e.g.
push,push -> the first push is discarded
pop,pop -> the first pop is discarded
This patch is based heavily on work by Ravi K.
