The netdev receiving packets is supposed to provide the flags
indicating if the IP checksum was verified and it is GOOD or BAD,
otherwise the stack will check when appropriate by software.
If the packet comes with good checksum, then postpone the
checksum calculation to the egress device if needed.
When encapsulate a packet with that flag, set the checksum
of the inner IP header since that is not yet supported.
Calculate the IP checksum when the packet is going to be sent over
a device that doesn't support the feature.
Linux devices don't support IP checksum offload alone, so the
support is not enabled.

net: openvswitch: fix uAPI incompatibility with existing user space
Few years ago OVS user space made a strange choice in the commit [1]
to define types only valid for the user space inside the copy of a
kernel uAPI header. '#ifndef __KERNEL__' and another attribute was
added later.
This leads to the inevitable clash between user space and kernel types
when the kernel uAPI is extended. The issue was unveiled with the
addition of a new type for IPv6 extension header in kernel uAPI.
When kernel provides the OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS attribute to the
older user space application, application tries to parse it as
OVS_KEY_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE and discards the whole netlink message as
malformed. Since OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is supplied along with
every IPv6 packet that goes to the user space, IPv6 support is fully
broken.
Fixing that by bringing these user space attributes to the kernel
uAPI to avoid the clash. Strictly speaking this is not the problem
of the kernel uAPI, but changing it is the only way to avoid breakage
of the older user space applications at this point.
These 2 types are explicitly rejected now since they should not be
passed to the kernel. Additionally, OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL_INFO moved
out from the '#ifdef __KERNEL__' as there is no good reason to hide
it from the userspace. And it's also explicitly rejected now, because
it's for in-kernel use only.
Comments with warnings were added to avoid the problem coming back.
(1 << type) converted to (1ULL << type) to avoid integer overflow on
OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS, since it equals 32 now.

The encap & decap actions are extended to support MPLS packet type.
Encap & decap actions adds and removes MPLS header at start of the
packet.
The existing PUSH MPLS & POP MPLS actions inserts & removes MPLS
header between ethernet header and the IP header. Though this behaviour
is fine for L3 VPN where an IP packet is encapsulated inside a MPLS
tunnel, it does not suffice the L2 VPN requirements. In L2 VPN the
ethernet packets must be encapsulated inside MPLS tunnel.
In this change the encap & decap actions are extended to support MPLS
packet type. The encap & decap adds and removes MPLS header at the
start of packet as depicted below.
Encapsulation:
Actions - encap(mpls),encap(ethernet)
Incoming packet -> | ETH | IP | Payload |
1 Actions - encap(mpls) [Datapath action - ADD_MPLS:0x8847]
Outgoing packet -> | MPLS | ETH | Payload|
2 Actions - encap(ethernet) [ Datapath action - push_eth ]
Outgoing packet -> | ETH | MPLS | ETH | Payload|
Decapsulation:
Incoming packet -> | ETH | MPLS | ETH | IP | Payload |
Actions - decap(),decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0))
1 Actions - decap() [Datapath action - pop_eth)
Outgoing packet -> | MPLS | ETH | IP | Payload|
2 Actions - decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0)) [Datapath action - POP_MPLS:0x6558]

Problem:
In OVS, flows with output over a bond interface of type “balance-tcp”
gets translated by the ofproto layer into "HASH" and "RECIRC" datapath
actions. After recirculation, the packet is forwarded to the bond
member port based on 8-bits of the datapath hash value computed through
dp_hash. This causes performance degradation in the following ways:
1. The recirculation of the packet implies another lookup of the
packet’s flow key in the exact match cache (EMC) and potentially
Megaflow classifier (DPCLS). This is the biggest cost factor.
2. The recirculated packets have a new “RSS” hash and compete with the
original packets for the scarce number of EMC slots. This implies more
EMC misses and potentially EMC thrashing causing costly DPCLS lookups.
3. The 256 extra megaflow entries per bond for dp_hash bond selection
put additional load on the revalidation threads.
Owing to this performance degradation, deployments stick to “balance-slb”
bond mode even though it does not do active-active load balancing for
VXLAN- and GRE-tunnelled traffic because all tunnel packet have the
same source MAC address.
Proposed optimization:
This proposal introduces a new load-balancing output action instead of
recirculation.
Maintain one table per-bond (could just be an array of uint16's) and
program it the same way internal flows are created today for each
possible hash value (256 entries) from ofproto layer. Use this table to
load-balance flows as part of output action processing.
Currently xlate_normal() -> output_normal() ->
bond_update_post_recirc_rules() -> bond_may_recirc() and
compose_output_action__() generate 'dp_hash(hash_l4(0))' and
'recirc(<RecircID>)' actions. In this case the RecircID identifies the
bond. For the recirculated packets the ofproto layer installs megaflow
entries that match on RecircID and masked dp_hash and send them to the
corresponding output port.
Instead, we will now generate action as
'lb_output(<bond id>)'
This combines hash computation (only if needed, else re-use RSS hash)
and inline load-balancing over the bond. This action is used *only* for
balance-tcp bonds in userspace datapath (the OVS kernel datapath
remains unchanged).
Example:
Current scheme:
With 8 UDP flows (with random UDP src port):
flow-dump from pmd on cpu core: 2
recirc_id(0),in_port(7),<...> actions:hash(hash_l4(0)),recirc(0x1)
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0xf8e02b7e/0xff),<...> actions:2
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0xb236c260/0xff),<...> actions:1
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0x7d89eb18/0xff),<...> actions:1
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0xa78d75df/0xff),<...> actions:2
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0xb58d846f/0xff),<...> actions:2
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0x24534406/0xff),<...> actions:1
recirc_id(0x1),dp_hash(0x3cf32550/0xff),<...> actions:1
New scheme:
We can do with a single flow entry (for any number of new flows):
in_port(7),<...> actions:lb_output(1)
A new CLI has been added to dump datapath bond cache as given below.
# ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/bond-show [dp]
Bond cache:
bond-id 1 :
bucket 0 - slave 2
bucket 1 - slave 1
bucket 2 - slave 2
bucket 3 - slave 1

Currently OVS maintains explicit packet drop/error counters only on port
level. Packets that are dropped as part of normal OpenFlow processing
are counted in flow stats of “drop” flows or as table misses in table
stats. These can only be interpreted by controllers that know the
semantics of the configured OpenFlow pipeline. Without that knowledge,
it is impossible for an OVS user to obtain e.g. the total number of
packets dropped due to OpenFlow rules.
Furthermore, there are numerous other reasons for which packets can be
dropped by OVS slow path that are not related to the OpenFlow pipeline.
The generated datapath flow entries include a drop action to avoid
further expensive upcalls to the slow path, but subsequent packets
dropped by the datapath are not accounted anywhere.
Finally, the datapath itself drops packets in certain error situations.
Also, these drops are today not accounted for.This makes it difficult
for OVS users to monitor packet drop in an OVS instance and to alert a
management system in case of a unexpected increase of such drops.
Also OVS trouble-shooters face difficulties in analysing packet drops.
With this patch we implement following changes to address the issues
mentioned above.
1. Identify and account all the silent packet drop scenarios
2. Display these drops in ovs-appctl coverage/show

This patch adds a new action 'check_pkt_larger' which checks if the
packet is larger than the given size and stores the result in the
destination register.
Usage: check_pkt_larger(len)->REGISTER
Eg. match=...,actions=check_pkt_larger(1442)->NXM_NX_REG0[0],next;
This patch makes use of the new datapath action - 'check_pkt_len'
which was recently added in the commit [1].
At the start of ovs-vswitchd, datapath is probed for this action.
If the datapath action is present, then 'check_pkt_larger'
makes use of this datapath action.
Datapath action 'check_pkt_len' takes these nlattrs
* OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN - 'pkt_len' to check for
* OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_GREATER (optional) - Nested actions
to apply if the packet length is greater than the specified 'pkt_len'
* OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_LESS_EQUAL (optional) - Nested
actions to apply if the packet length is lesser or equal to the
specified 'pkt_len'.
Let's say we have these flows added to an OVS bridge br-int
table=0, priority=100 in_port=1,ip,actions=check_pkt_larger:100->NXM_NX_REG0[0],resubmit(,1)
table=1, priority=200,in_port=1,ip,reg0=0x1/0x1 actions=output:3
table=1, priority=100,in_port=1,ip,actions=output:4
Then the action 'check_pkt_larger' will be translated as
- check_pkt_len(size=100,gt(3),le(4))
datapath will check the packet length and if the packet length is greater than 100,
it will output to port 3, else it will output to port 4.
In case, datapath doesn't support 'check_pkt_len' action, the OVS action
'check_pkt_larger' sets SLOW_ACTION so that datapath flow is not added.
This OVS action is intended to be used by OVN to check the packet length
and generate an ICMP packet with type 3, code 4 and next hop mtu
in the logical router pipeline if the MTU of the physical interface
is lesser than the packet length. More information can be found here [2]

Currently OVS supports all ARP protocol fields as OXM match fields to
implement the relevant ARP procedures for IPv4. This includes support
for matching copying and setting ARP fields. In IPv6 ARP has been
replaced by ICMPv6 neighbor discovery (ND) procedures, neighbor
advertisement and neighbor solicitation.
The support for ICMPv6 fields in OVS is not complete for the use cases
equivalent to ARP in IPv4. OVS lacks support for matching, copying and
setting the “ND option type” and “ND reserved” fields. Without these user
cannot implement all ICMPv6 ND procedures for IPv6 support.
This commit adds additional OXM fields to OVS for ICMPv6 “ND option type“
and ICMPv6 “ND reserved” using the OXM extension mechanism. This allows
support for parsing these fields from an ICMPv6 packet header and extending
the OpenFlow protocol with specifications for these new OXM fields for
matching, copying and setting.

Today in OVS, when errors are encountered during the execution
of an action the entire batch of packets may be deleted (for e.g.
in processing push_tnl_action, if the port is not found in the
port_cache of PMD). The remaining actions continue to be executed
even though there are no packets to be processed.
It is assumed that the code dealing with each action checks that
the batch is not empty before executing. Crashes may occur if the
assumption is not met.
The patch makes OVS skip processing of further actions from the
action-set once a batch is emptied. Doing so centralizes the check
in one place and avoids the possibility of crashes.
This change DOES NOT fix any existing bug in the code, only a
precautionary measure to avoid crashes if new actions does not
take care of empty batches.

This commit adds translation and netdev datapath support for generic

The translation follows that general scheme that decap() of an NSH

just modifies struct flow and sets the ctx->pending_encap flag to
generate the encap_nsh action at the next commit to be able to include
subsequent set_field actions for NSH headers.
Support for the flexible MD2 format using TLV properties is foreseen

Ports have a new layer3 attribute if they send/receive L3 packets.
The packet_type included in structs dp_packet and flow is considered in
ofproto-dpif. The classical L2 match fields (dl_src, dl_dst, dl_type, and
vlan_tci, vlan_vid, vlan_pcp) now have Ethernet as pre-requisite.
A dummy ethernet header is pushed to L3 packets received from L3 ports
before the the pipeline processing starts. The ethernet header is popped
before sending a packet to a L3 port.
For datapath ports that can receive L2 or L3 packets, the packet_type
becomes part of the flow key for datapath flows and is handled
appropriately in dpif-netdev.
In the 'else' branch in flow_put_on_pmd() function, the additional check
flow_equal(&match.flow, &netdev_flow->flow) was removed, as a) the dpcls
lookup is sufficient to uniquely identify a flow and b) it caused false
negatives because the flow in netdev->flow may not properly masked.
In dpif_netdev_flow_put() we now use the same method for constructing the
netdev_flow_key as the one used when adding the flow to the dplcs to make sure
these always match. The function netdev_flow_key_from_flow() used so far was
not only inefficient but sometimes caused mismatches and subsequent flow
update failures.
The kernel datapath does not support the packet_type match field.
Instead it encodes the packet type implictly by the presence or absence of
the Ethernet attribute in the flow key and mask.
This patch filters the PACKET_TYPE attribute out of netlink flow key and
mask to be sent to the kernel datapath.

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.

openvswitch: Add original direction conntrack tuple to sw_flow_key.
Add the fields of the conntrack original direction 5-tuple to struct
sw_flow_key. The new fields are initially marked as non-existent, and
are populated whenever a conntrack action is executed and either finds
or generates a conntrack entry. This means that these fields exist
for all packets that were not rejected by conntrack as untrackable.
The original tuple fields in the sw_flow_key are filled from the
original direction tuple of the conntrack entry relating to the
current packet, or from the original direction tuple of the master
conntrack entry, if the current conntrack entry has a master.
Generally, expected connections of connections having an assigned
helper (e.g., FTP), have a master conntrack entry.
The main purpose of the new conntrack original tuple fields is to
allow matching on them for policy decision purposes, with the premise
that the admissibility of tracked connections reply packets (as well
as original direction packets), and both direction packets of any
related connections may be based on ACL rules applying to the master
connection's original direction 5-tuple. This also makes it easier to
make policy decisions when the actual packet headers might have been
transformed by NAT, as the original direction 5-tuple represents the
packet headers before any such transformation.
When using the original direction 5-tuple the admissibility of return
and/or related packets need not be based on the mere existence of a
conntrack entry, allowing separation of admission policy from the
established conntrack state. While existence of a conntrack entry is
required for admission of the return or related packets, policy
changes can render connections that were initially admitted to be
rejected or dropped afterwards. If the admission of the return and
related packets was based on mere conntrack state (e.g., connection
being in an established state), a policy change that would make the
connection rejected or dropped would need to find and delete all
conntrack entries affected by such a change. When using the original
direction 5-tuple matching the affected conntrack entries can be
allowed to time out instead, as the established state of the
connection would not need to be the basis for packet admission any
more.
It should be noted that the directionality of related connections may
be the same or different than that of the master connection, and
neither the original direction 5-tuple nor the conntrack state bits
carry this information. If needed, the directionality of the master
connection can be stored in master's conntrack mark or labels, which
are automatically inherited by the expected related connections.
The fact that neither ARP nor ND packets are trackable by conntrack
allows mutual exclusion between ARP/ND and the new conntrack original
tuple fields. Hence, the IP addresses are overlaid in union with ARP
and ND fields. This allows the sw_flow_key to not grow much due to
this patch, but it also means that we must be careful to never use the
new key fields with ARP or ND packets. ARP is easy to distinguish and
keep mutually exclusive based on the ethernet type, but ND being an
ICMPv6 protocol requires a bit more attention.

Add support for userspace datapath clone action. The clone action
provides an action envelope to enclose an action list.
For example, with actions A, B, C and D, and an action list:
A, clone(B, C), D
The clone action will ensure that:
- D will see the same packet, and any meta states, such as flow, as
action B.
- D will be executed regardless whether B, or C drops a packet. They
can only drop a clone.
- When B drops a packet, clone will skip all remaining actions
within the clone envelope. This feature is useful when we add
meter action later: The meter action can be implemented as a
simple action without its own envolop (unlike the sample action).
When necessary, the flow translation layer can enclose a meter action
in clone.
The clone action is very similar with the OpenFlow clone action.
This is by design to simplify vswitchd flow translation logic.
Without datapath clone, vswitchd simulate the effect by inserting
datapath actions to "undo" clone actions. The above flow will be
translated into A, B, C, -C, -B, D.
However, there are two issues:
- The resulting datapath action list may be longer without using
clone.
- Some actions, such as NAT may not be possible to reverse.
This patch implements clone() simply with packet copy. The performance
can be improved with later patches, for example, to delay or avoid
packet copy if possible. It seems datapath should have enough context
to carry out such optimization without the userspace context.

I measured the packet processing cost of OVS DPDK datapath for different
OpenFlow actions. I configured OVS to use a single pmd thread and
measured the packet throughput in a phy-to-phy setup. I used 10G
interfaces bounded to DPDK driver and overloaded the vSwitch with 64
byte packets through one of the 10G interfaces.
The processing cost of the dec_ttl action seemed to be gratuitously high
compared with other actions.
I looked into the code and saw that dec_ttl is encoded as a masked
nested attribute in OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET_MASKED(OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4).
That way, OVS datapath can modify several IP header fields (TTL, TOS,
source and destination IP addresses) by a single invocation of
packet_set_ipv4() in the odp_set_ipv4() function in the
lib/odp-execute.c file. The packet_set_ipv4() function takes the new
TOS, TTL and IP addresses as arguments, compares them with the actual
ones and updates the fields if needed. This means, that even if only TTL
needs to be updated, each of the four IP header fields is passed to the
callee and is compared to the actual field for each packet.
The odp_set_ipv4() caller function possesses information about the
fields that need to be updated in the 'mask' structure. The idea is to
spare invocation of the packet_set_ipv4() function but use its code
parts directly. So the 'mask' can be used to decide which IP header
fields need to be updated. In addition, a faster packet processing can
be achieved if the values of local variables are
calculated right before their usage.

I ran each test five times. The values are the mean of the readings
obtained.
I added OVS_LIKELY to the 'if' condition for the TTL field, since as far
as I know, this field will typically be decremented when any field of
the IP header is modified.

When using tunnel TLVs (at the moment, this means Geneve options), a
controller must first map the class and type onto an appropriate OXM
field so that it can be used in OVS flow operations. This table is
managed using OpenFlow extensions.
The original code that added support for TLVs made the mapping table
global as a simplification. However, this is not really logically
correct as the OpenFlow management commands are operating on a per-bridge
basis. This removes the original limitation to make the table per-bridge.
One nice result of this change is that it is generally clearer whether
the tunnel metadata is in datapath or OpenFlow format. Rather than
allowing ad-hoc format changes and trying to handle both formats in the
tunnel metadata functions, the format is more clearly separated by function.
Datapaths (both kernel and userspace) use datapath format and it is not
changed during the upcall process. At the beginning of action translation,
tunnel metadata is converted to OpenFlow format and flows and wildcards
are translated back at the end of the process.
As an additional benefit, this change improves performance in some flow
setup situations by keeping the tunnel metadata in the original packet
format in more cases. This helps when copies need to be made as the amount
of data touched is only what is present in the packet rather than the
maximum amount of metadata supported.

The patch adds a new action to support packet truncation. The new action
is formatted as 'output(port=n,max_len=m)', as output to port n, with
packet size being MIN(original_size, m).
One use case is to enable port mirroring to send smaller packets to the
destination port so that only useful packet information is mirrored/copied,
saving some performance overhead of copying entire packet payload. Example
use case is below as well as shown in the testcases:
- Output to port 1 with max_len 100 bytes.
- The output packet size on port 1 will be MIN(original_packet_size, 100).
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 'actions=output(port=1,max_len=100)'
- The scope of max_len is limited to output action itself. The following
packet size of output:1 and output:2 will be intact.
# ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \
'actions=output(port=1,max_len=100),output:1,output:2'
- The Datapath actions shows:
# Datapath actions: trunc(100),1,1,2
