Currently, all of the PMD netdevs can only have the same number of
rx queues, which is specified in other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs.
Fix that by introducing of new option for PMD interfaces: 'n_rxq', which
specifies the maximum number of rx queues to be created for this
interface.
Example:
ovs-vsctl set Interface dpdk0 options:n_rxq=8
Old 'other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs' deleted.

Define struct eth_addr and use it instead of a uint8_t array for all
ethernet addresses in OVS userspace. The struct is always the right
size, and it can be assigned without an explicit memcpy, which makes
code more readable.
"struct eth_addr" is a good type name for this as many utility
functions are already named accordingly.
struct eth_addr can be accessed as bytes as well as ovs_be16's, which
makes the struct 16-bit aligned. All use seems to be 16-bit aligned,
so some algorithms on the ethernet addresses can be made a bit more
efficient making use of this fact.
As the struct fits into a register (in 64-bit systems) we pass it by
value when possible.
This patch also changes the few uses of Linux specific ETH_ALEN to
OVS's own ETH_ADDR_LEN, and removes the OFP_ETH_ALEN, as it is no
longer needed.
This work stemmed from a desire to make all struct flow members
assignable for unrelated exploration purposes. However, I think this
might be a nice code readability improvement by itself.

The MAX_PKT_BURST and NETDEV_MAX_RX_BATCH macros had a confusing
relationship. They basically purport to do the same thing, making it
unclear which is the source of truth.
Furthermore, while NETDEV_MAX_RX_BATCH was 256, MAX_PKT_BURST was 32,
meaning we never process a batch larger than 32 packets further adding
to the confusion.
This patch resolves the issue by removing MAX_PKT_BURST completely,
and shrinking the new NETDEV_MAX_BURST macro to only 32. This should
have no change in the execution path except shrinking a couple of
structs and memory allocations (can't hurt).

Following patch adds support for userspace tunneling. Tunneling
needs three more component first is routing table which is configured by
caching kernel routes and second is ARP cache which build automatically
by snooping arp. And third is tunnel protocol table which list all
listening protocols which is populated by vswitchd as tunnel ports
are added. GRE and VXLAN protocol support is added in this patch.
Tunneling works as follows:
On packet receive vswitchd check if this packet is targeted to tunnel
port. If it is then vswitchd inserts tunnel pop action which pops
header and sends packet to tunnel port.
On packet xmit rather than generating Set tunnel action it generate
tunnel push action which has tunnel header data. datapath can use
tunnel-push action data to generate header for each packet and
forward this packet to output port. Since tunnel-push action
contains most of packet header vswitchd needs to lookup routing
table and arp table to build this action.

Store the error condition of a failed port configuration in a new

$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 test -- \
set Interface test type=vxlan options:unknown=1
ovs-vsctl: Error detected while setting up 'test'. [...]
$ ovs-vsctl list Interface test | grep error
error : "test: could not set configuration (Invalid argument)"
Fixing the error will clear the error column:
$ ovs-vsctl set Interface test options:remote_ip=1.1.1.1
$ ovs-vsctl list Interface test | grep error
error : []
$
For now, the high level error messages when opening and configuring

When the user changes port type (i.e. changing p0 from type 'internal' to
'gre'), the netdev must first be deleted, then re-created with the new type.
Deleting the netdev requires there exist no more references to the netdev.
However, the xlate cache holds references to netdevs and the cache is only
invalidated by revalidator threads. Thus, if cache is not invalidated prior to
the netdev being re-created, the netdev will not be able to be re-created and
the configuration change will fail.
This patch always removes the netdev from the global netdev shash when the
user changes port type. This ensures that the new netdev can always be created
while handler and revalidator threads can retain references to the old netdev
until they are finished.

Previously, we tracked status changes for ofports on a per-device basis.
Each time in the main thread's loop, we would inspect every ofport
to determine whether the status had changed for corresponding devices.
This patch replaces the per-netdev change_seq with a global 'struct seq'
which tracks status change for all ports. In the average case where
ports are not constantly going up or down, this allows us to check the
sequence once per main loop and not poll any ports. In the worst case,
execution is expected to be similar to how it is currently.
In a test environment of 5000 internal ports and 50 tunnel ports with
bfd, this reduces average CPU usage of the main thread from about 40% to
about 35%.

This commit fixes the problem by getting rid of the callback.

Adds tun_src and tun_dst match and set capabilities via new NXM fields
NXM_NX_TUN_IPV4_SRC and NXM_NX_TUN_IPV4_DST. This allows management of
large number of tunnels via the flow tables, without requiring the tunnels
to be pre-configured.
Flow-based tunnels can be configured with options remote_ip=flow and
local_ip=flow. local_ip=flow requires remote_ip=flow. When set, the
tunnel remote IP address and/or local IP address is set from the flow,
instead of the tunnel configuration.
Example:
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gre -- set Interface gre ofport_request=1 type=gre options:remote_ip=flow options:key=flow
$ ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "in_port=LOCAL actions=set_tunnel:1,set_field:192.168.0.1->tun_dst,output:1"

This commit moves responsibility for implementing patch ports from
the datapath to ofproto-dpif. There are two main reasons to do
this.
The first is a matter of design: ofproto-dpif both has more
information than the datapath, and is better suited to handle the
complexity required to implement patch ports.
The second is performance. My setup is a virtual machine with two
basic learning bridges connected by patch ports. I used
ovs-benchmark to ping the virtual router IP residing outside the
VM. Over a 60 second run, "ovs-benchmark rate" improves from
14618.1 to 19311.9 transactions per second, or a 32% improvement.
Similarly, "ovs-benchmark latency" improves from 6ms to 4ms.

netdev_find_dev_by_in4() appears to no longer be used and thus
can be removed. This also allows netdev_enumerate(), the
enumerate member of struct netdev_class and netdev_linux_enumerate()
to be removed.
I noticed this as netdev_linux_enumerate() makes use of if_nameindex()
and if_freenameindex() which are not available when compiling using
the Android NDK r6b (Android API level 13).
This allows a command like "test-openflowd --enable-dummy dummy@br0
--ports=dummy@eth0,dummy@eth1,dummy@eth2" to create a dummy datapath with
a number of dummy ports. This is more useful for testing than a dummy
datapath with just an internal port, since output to "flood" and "normal"
has less pathological results.
There is no need to have vport attribute MTU (OVS_VPORT_ATTR_MTU) as
linux net-dev-ioctl can be used to get/set MTU for linux device.
Following patch removes OVS_VPORT_ATTR_MTU from datapath protocol.
This patch also adds netdev_set_mtu interface. So that MTU adjustments
can be done from OVS userspace. get_mtu() interface is also changed, now
get_mtu() returns EOPNOTSUPP rather than returning 0 and setting *pmtu
to INT_MAX in case there is no MTU attribute for given device.
