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

Add support to export tunnel information for flow-based IPFIX.
The original steps to configure flow level IPFIX:
1) Create a new record in Flow_Sample_Collector_Set table:
'ovs-vsctl -- create Flow_Sample_Collector_Set id=1 bridge="Bridge UUID"'
2) Add IPFIX configuration which is referred by corresponding
row in Flow_Sample_Collector_Set table:
'ovs-vsctl -- set Flow_Sample_Collector_Set
"Flow_Sample_Collector_Set UUID" ipfix=@i -- --id=@i create IPFIX
targets=\"IP:4739\" obs_domain_id=123 obs_point_id=456
cache_active_timeout=60 cache_max_flows=13'
3) Add sample action to the flows:
'ovs-ofctl add-flow mybridge in_port=1,
actions=sample'('probability=65535,collector_set_id=1,
obs_domain_id=123,obs_point_id=456')',output:3'
NXAST_SAMPLE action was used in step 3. In order to support exporting tunnel
information, the NXAST_SAMPLE2 action was added and with NXAST_SAMPLE2 action
in this patch, the step 3 should be configured like below:
'ovs-ofctl add-flow mybridge in_port=1,
actions=sample'('probability=65535,collector_set_id=1,obs_domain_id=123,
obs_point_id=456,sampling_port=3')',output:3'
'sampling_port' can be equal to ingress port or one of egress ports. If sampling
port is equal to output port and the output port is a tunnel port,
OVS_USERSPACE_ATTR_EGRESS_TUN_PORT will be set in the datapath flow sample action.
When flow sample action upcall happens, tunnel information will be retrieved from
the datapath and then IPFIX can export egress tunnel port information. If
samping_port=65535 (OFPP_NONE), flow-based IPFIX will keep the same behavior
as before.
This patch mainly do three tasks:
1) Add a new flow sample action NXAST_SAMPLE2 to support exporting
tunnel information. NXAST_SAMPLE2 action has a new added field
'sampling_port'.
2) Use 'other_configure: enable-tunnel-sampling' to enable or disable
exporting tunnel information.
3) If 'sampling_port' is equal to output port and output port is a tunnel
port, the translation of OpenFlow "sample" action should first emit
set(tunnel(...)), then the sample action itself. It makes sure the
egress tunnel information can be sampled.
4) Add a test of flow-based IPFIX for tunnel set.
How to test flow-based IPFIX:
1) Setup a test environment with two Linux host with Docker supported
2) Create a Docker container and a GRE tunnel port on each host
3) Use ovs-docker to add the container on the bridge
4) Listen on port 4739 on the collector machine and use wireshark to filter
'cflow' packets.
5) Configure flow-based IPFIX:
- 'ovs-vsctl -- create Flow_Sample_Collector_Set id=1 bridge="Bridge UUID"'
- 'ovs-vsctl -- set Flow_Sample_Collector_Set
"Flow_Sample_Collector_Set UUID" ipfix=@i -- --id=@i create IPFIX \
targets=\"IP:4739\" cache_active_timeout=60 cache_max_flows=13 \
other_config:enable-tunnel-sampling=true'
- 'ovs-ofctl add-flow mybridge in_port=1,
actions=sample'('probability=65535,collector_set_id=1,obs_domain_id=123,
obs_point_id=456,sampling_port=3')',output:3'
Note: The in-port is container port. The output port and sampling_port
are both open flow port and the output port is a GRE tunnel port.
6) Ping from the container whose host enabled flow-based IPFIX.
7) Get the IPFIX template pakcets and IPFIX information packets.

When calling odp_flow_key_from_flow (or _mask), the in_port included
as part of the flow is ignored and must be explicitly passed as a
separate parameter. This is because the assumption was that the flow's
version would often be in OFP format, rather than ODP.
However, at this point all flows that are ready for serialization in
netlink format already have their in_port properly set to ODP format.
As a result, every caller needs to explicitly initialize the extra
paramter to the value that is in the flow. This switches to just use
the value in the flow to simply things and avoid the possibility of
forgetting to initialize the extra parameter.

When converting between ODP attributes and struct flow_wildcards, we
check that all the prerequisites are exact matched on the mask.
For ND(ICMPv6) attributes, an exact match on tp_src and tp_dst
(which in this context are the icmp type and code) shold look like
htons(0xff), not htons(0xffff). Fix this in two places.
The consequences were that the ODP mask wouldn't include the ND
attributes and the flow would be deleted by the revalidation.
In the ODP context an empty mask netlink attribute usually means that
the flow should be an exact match.
odp_flow_key_to_mask{,_udpif}() instead return a struct flow_wildcards
with matches only on recirc_id and vlan_tci.
A more appropriate behavior is to handle a missing (zero length) netlink
mask specially (like we do in userspace and Linux datapath) and create
an exact match flow_wildcards from the original flow.
This fixes a bug in revalidate_ukey(): every flow created with
megaflows disabled would be revalidated away, because the mask would
seem too generic. (Another possible fix would be to handle the special
case of a missing mask in revalidate_ukey(), but this seems a more
generic solution).
commit_set_icmp_action() should do its job only if the packet is ICMP,
otherwise there will be two problems:
* A set ICMP action will be inserted in the ODP actions and the flow
will be slow pathed.
* The tp_src and tp_dst field will be unwildcarded.
Normal TCP or UDP packets won't be impacted, because
commit_set_icmp_action() is called after commit_set_port_action() and it
will see the fields as already committed (TCP/UCP transport ports and ICMP
code/type are stored in the same members in struct flow).
MPLS packets though will hit the bug, causing a nonsensical set action
(which will end up zeroing the transport source port) and an invalid
mask to be generated.
The commit also alters an MPLS testcase to trigger the bug.
Limit the scope of the local vlan variable in format_odp_action()

This patch adds a new action and fields to OVS that allow connection
tracking to be performed. This support works in conjunction with the
Linux kernel support merged into the Linux-4.3 development cycle.
Packets have two possible states with respect to connection tracking:
Untracked packets have not previously passed through the connection
tracker, while tracked packets have previously been through the
connection tracker. For OpenFlow pipeline processing, untracked packets
can become tracked, and they will remain tracked until the end of the
pipeline. Tracked packets cannot become untracked.
Connections can be unknown, uncommitted, or committed. Packets which are
untracked have unknown connection state. To know the connection state,
the packet must become tracked. Uncommitted connections have no
connection state stored about them, so it is only possible for the
connection tracker to identify whether they are a new connection or
whether they are invalid. Committed connections have connection state
stored beyond the lifetime of the packet, which allows later packets in
the same connection to be identified as part of the same established
connection, or related to an existing connection - for instance ICMP
error responses.
The new 'ct' action transitions the packet from "untracked" to
"tracked" by sending this flow through the connection tracker.
The following parameters are supported initally:
- "commit": When commit is executed, the connection moves from
uncommitted state to committed state. This signals that information
about the connection should be stored beyond the lifetime of the
packet within the pipeline. This allows future packets in the same
connection to be recognized as part of the same "established" (est)
connection, as well as identifying packets in the reply (rpl)
direction, or packets related to an existing connection (rel).
- "zone=[u16|NXM]": Perform connection tracking in the zone specified.
Each zone is an independent connection tracking context. When the
"commit" parameter is used, the connection will only be committed in
the specified zone, and not in other zones. This is 0 by default.
- "table=NUMBER": Fork pipeline processing in two. The original instance
of the packet will continue processing the current actions list as an
untracked packet. An additional instance of the packet will be sent to
the connection tracker, which will be re-injected into the OpenFlow
pipeline to resume processing in the specified table, with the
ct_state and other ct match fields set. If the table is not specified,
then the packet is submitted to the connection tracker, but the
pipeline does not fork and the ct match fields are not populated. It
is strongly recommended to specify a table later than the current
table to prevent loops.
When the "table" option is used, the packet that continues processing in
the specified table will have the ct_state populated. The ct_state may
have any of the following flags set:
- Tracked (trk): Connection tracking has occurred.
- Reply (rpl): The flow is in the reply direction.
- Invalid (inv): The connection tracker couldn't identify the connection.
- New (new): This is the beginning of a new connection.
- Established (est): This is part of an already existing connection.
- Related (rel): This connection is related to an existing connection.
For more information, consult the ovs-ofctl(8) man pages.
Below is a simple example flow table to allow outbound TCP traffic from
port 1 and drop traffic from port 2 that was not initiated by port 1:
table=0,priority=1,action=drop
table=0,arp,action=normal
table=0,in_port=1,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(commit,zone=9),2
table=0,in_port=2,tcp,ct_state=-trk,action=ct(zone=9,table=1)
table=1,in_port=2,ct_state=+trk+est,tcp,action=1
table=1,in_port=2,ct_state=+trk+new,tcp,action=drop

The Netlink encoding of datapath flow keys cannot express wildcarding
the presence of a VLAN tag. Instead, a missing VLAN tag is interpreted
as exact match on the fact that there is no VLAN. This makes reading
datapath flow dumps confusing, since for everything else, a missing
key value means that the corresponding key was wildcarded.
Unless we refactor a lot of code that translates between Netlink and
struct flow representations, we have to do the same in the userspace
datapath. This makes at least the flow install logs show that the
vlan_tci field is matched to zero. However, the datapath flow dumps
remain as they were before, as they are performed using the netlink
format.
Add a test to verify that packet with a vlan will not match a rule
that may seem wildcarding the presence of the vlan tag. Applying this
test without the userspace datapath modification showed that the
userspace datapath failed to create a new datapath flow for the VLAN
packet before this patch.

Sometimes it is useful to match only on whether a Geneve option
is present even if the specific value is unimportant. A special
case of this is zero length options where there is no value at all
and the only information conveyed is whether the option was included
in the packet.
This operation was partially supported before but it was not consistent -
in particular, options were never serialized through NXM/OXM unless
they had a non-zero mask. Furthermore, zero length options were rejected
altogether when they were installed through the Geneve map OpenFlow
command.
This adds support for these types of matches by making any NXM/OXM for
tunnel metadata force a match on that field. In the case of a zero length
option, both the value and mask of the NXM are ignored.

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

The kernel implementation of Geneve options stores the TLV option
data in the flow exactly as received, without any further parsing.
This is then translated to known options for the purposes of matching
on flow setup (which will then install a datapath flow in the form
the kernel is expecting).
The userspace implementation behaves a little bit differently - it
looks up known options as each packet is received. The reason for this
is there is a much tighter coupling between datapath and flow translation
and the representation is generally expected to be the same. This works
but it incurs work on a per-packet basis that could be done per-flow
instead.
This introduces a small translation step for Geneve packets between
datapath and flow lookup for the userspace datapath in order to
allow the same kind of processing that the kernel does. A side effect
of this is that unknown options are now shown when flows dumped via
ovs-appctl dpif/dump-flows, similar to the kernel.
There is a second benefit to this as well: for some operations it is
preferable to keep the options exactly as they were received on the wire,
which this enables. One example is that for packets that are executed from
ofproto-dpif-upcall to the datapath, this avoids the translation of
Geneve metadata. Since this conversion is potentially lossy (for unknown
options), keeping everything in the same format removes the possibility
of dropping options if the packet comes back up to userspace and the
Geneve option translation table has changed. To help with these types of
operations, most functions can understand both formats of data and seamlessly
do the right thing.

Packets are still sampled at ingress only, so the egress
tunnel and/or MPLS structures are only included when there is just 1 output
port. The actions are either provided by the datapath in the sample upcall
or looked up in the userspace cache. The former is preferred because it is
more reliable and does not present any new demands or constraints on the
userspace cache, however the code falls back on the userspace lookup so that
this solution can work with existing kernel datapath modules. If the lookup
fails it is not critical: the compiled user-action-cookie is still available
and provides the essential output port and output VLAN forwarding information
just as before.
The openvswitch actions can express almost any tunneling/mangling so the only
totally faithful representation would be to somehow encode the whole list of
flow actions in the sFlow output. However the standard sFlow tunnel structures
can express most common real-world scenarios, so in parsing the actions we
look for those and skip the encoding if we see anything unusual. For example,
a single set(tunnel()) or tnl_push() is interpreted, but if a second such
action is encountered then the egress tunnel reporting is suppressed.
The sFlow standard allows "best effort" encoding so that if a field is not
knowable or too onerous to look up then it can be left out. This is often
the case for the layer-4 source port or even the src ip address of a tunnel.
The assumption is that monitoring is enabled everywhere so a missing field
can typically be seen at ingress to the next switch in the path.
This patch also adds unit tests to check the sFlow encoding of set(tunnel()),
tnl_push() and push_mpls() actions.
The netlink attribute to request that actions be included in the upcall
from the datapath is inserted for sFlow sampling only. To make that option
be explicit would require further changes to the printing and parsing of
actions in lib/odp-util.c, and to scripts in the test suite.
Further enhancements to report on 802.1AD QinQ, 64-bit tunnel IDs, and NAT
transformations can follow in future patches that make only incremental
changes.

The addition of Geneve options to packet metadata significantly

for DPDK ports by up to 25% since we need to initialize the whole

It is not really necessary to zero out the entire structure because
miniflow_extract() only copies the tunnel metadata when particular
fields indicate that it is valid. Therefore, as long as we zero out
these fields when the metadata is initialized and ensure that the
rest of the structure is correctly set in the presence of a tunnel,
we can avoid touching the tunnel fields on packet reception.

Currently the userspace datapath only supports Geneve in a
basic mode - without options - since the rest of userspace
previously didn't support options either. This enables the
userspace datapath to send and receive options as well.
The receive path for extracting the tunnel options isn't entirely
optimal because it does a lookup on the options on a per-packet
basis, rather than per-flow like the kernel does. This is not
as straightforward to do in the userspace datapath since there
is no translation step between packet formats used in packet vs.
flow lookup. This can be optimized in the future and in the
meantime option support is still useful for testing and simulation.

The current support for Geneve in OVS is exactly equivalent to VXLAN:
it is possible to set and match on the VNI but not on any options
contained in the header. This patch enables the use of options.
The goal for Geneve support is not to add support for any particular option
but to allow end users or controllers to specify what they would like to
match. That is, the full range of Geneve's capabilities should be exposed
without modifying the code (the one exception being options that require
per-packet computation in the fast path).
The main issue with supporting Geneve options is how to integrate the
fields into the existing OpenFlow pipeline. All existing operations
are referred to by their NXM/OXM field name - matches, action generation,
arithmetic operations (i.e. tranfer to a register). However, the Geneve
option space is exactly the same as the OXM space, so a direct mapping
is not feasible. Instead, we create a pool of 64 NXMs that are then
dynamically mapped on Geneve option TLVs using OpenFlow. Once mapped,
these fields become first-class citizens in the OpenFlow pipeline.
An example of how to use Geneve options:
ovs-ofctl add-geneve-map br0 {class=0xffff,type=0,len=4}->tun_metadata0
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=LOCAL,actions=set_field:0xffffffff->tun_metadata0,1
This will add a 4 bytes option (filled will all 1's) to all packets
coming from the LOCAL port and then send then out to port 1.
A limitation of this patch is that although the option table is specified
for a particular switch over OpenFlow, it is currently global to all
switches. This will be addressed in a future patch.
Based on work originally done by Madhu Challa. Ben Pfaff also significantly
improved the comments.

Sometimes we need to look at flow fields to understand how to parse
an attribute. However, masks don't have this information - just the
mask on the field. We already use the translated flow structure for
this purpose but this isn't always enough since sometimes we actually
need the raw netlink information. Fortunately, that is also readily
available so this passes it down from the appropriate callers.

Serializing between userspace flows and netlink attributes currently
requires several additional parameters besides the flows themselves.
This will continue to grow in the future as well. This converts
the function arguments to a parameters struct, which makes the code
easier to read and allowing irrelevant arguments to be omitted.

We formerly converted tunnel attributes to their flow representation
before formatting but now perform all operations directly on the
netlink attributes.
There is one remaining use of odp_tun_key_from_attr() that is not
used for the purposes of generating a flow. This is to check the
mask but this no longer makes sense given the way that we format
the flow itself. In fact, the code is not actually invoked any
more, so we can simply remove it.
This retains the special case for tunnels as a safety measure but it
should not matter in practice.

Unique flow identifiers are really a UUID of sorts, so it makes sense to
reuse the UUID string representations for UFID.

GCC 4.7.2 -O3 flagged potential use before initialization for the 'id'
and 'id_mask' being scanned in scan_vxlan_gbp(). For the 'id' this
was a real possiblity, but for the 'id_mask' it seems to be a false
positive in gcc analysis. Simplify scan_vxlan_gbp() to fix this.

Clang complains about the fact that we use a byte array to scan
Geneve attributes into since there are different alignment requirements:
lib/odp-util.c:2936:30: error: cast from 'uint8_t *' (aka 'unsigned char *') to
'struct geneve_opt *' increases required alignment from 1 to 2
[-Werror,-Wcast-align]
struct geneve_opt *opt = (struct geneve_opt *)key->d;
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We can instead treat this as an array of Geneve option headers to
ensure we get the right alignment and then there are no need for
casts.

Even though userspace does not yet support Geneve options,
the kernel does and there is some basic support for decoding
those attributes. This adds the ability to print Geneve
attributes that might potentially come from the kernel.
