Make the immediate data member 'src_imm' of a learn spec allocated at
the end of the action for just the right size. This, together with
some structure packing saves on average of ~128 bytes for each learn
spec in each learn action. Typical learn actions have about 4 specs
each, so this amounts to saving about 0.5kb for each learn action.

For a variable-length action like write_actions, the member name is
supposed to be the name of the variable-length array at the end of the
action structure. It only makes a real difference if the beginning of the
array is not 64-bit aligned, so it did not matter in this case, but it's
better to get it right.

Adding groups support for bundles is simpler if also groups are
modified under ofproto_mutex.
Eliminate the search for rules when deleting a group so that we will
not keep the mutex for too long.

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.
