This patch first defines the dpif interface for a datapath to support
adding, deleting, getting and dumping conntrack timeout policy.
The timeout policy is identified by a 4 bytes unsigned integer in
datapath, and it currently support timeout for TCP, UDP, and ICMP
protocols.
Moreover, this patch provides the implementation for Linux kernel
datapath in dpif-netlink.
In Linux kernel, the timeout policy is maintained per L3/L4 protocol,
and it is identified by 32 bytes null terminated string. On the other
hand, in vswitchd, the timeout policy is a generic one that consists of
all the supported L4 protocols. Therefore, one of the main task in
dpif-netlink is to break down the generic timeout policy into 6
sub policies (ipv4 tcp, udp, icmp, and ipv6 tcp, udp, icmp),
and push down the configuration using the netlink API in
netlink-conntrack.c.
This patch also adds missing symbols in the windows datapath so
that the build on windows can pass.

This may be needed in some special cases, such as to support some hardware
offload implementations. Note that disabling TCP sequence number
verification is not an optimization in itself, but supporting some
hardware offload implementations may offer better performance. TCP
sequence number verification is enabled by default. This option is only
available for the userspace datapath. Access to this option is presently
provided via 'dpctl' commands as the need for this option is quite node
specific, by virtue of which nics are in use on a given node. A test is
added to verify this option.

Currently, only the netlink datapath supports SCTP connection tracking,
but at least this removes the warning message that will pop up when
running something like:
ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-conntrack
This doesn't impact any conntrack functionality, just the display.

Fragmentation handling is added for supporting conntrack.
Both v4 and v6 are supported.
After discussion with several people, I decided to not store
configuration state in the database to be more consistent with
the kernel in future, similarity with other conntrack configuration
which will not be in the database as well and overall simplicity.
Accordingly, fragmentation handling is enabled by default.
This patch enables fragmentation tests for the userspace datapath.

This patch implments the following three commands on dpctl so that
users can use ovs-dpctl or ovs-appctl to set, delete, and get the

For example,
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/ct-set-limits default=10 zone=0,limit=5 zone=1,limit=3
$ ovs-appctl dpct/ct-del-limits zone=0
$ ovs-appctl dpct/ct-get-limits zone=1,2,3

With this patch, "flush-conntrack" in ovs-dpctl and ovs-appctl accept
a conntrack 5-tuple to delete the conntrack entry specified by the 5-tuple.
For example, user can use the following command to flush a conntrack entry
in zone 5.
$ ovs-dpctl flush-conntrack zone=5 \
'ct_nw_src=10.1.1.2,ct_nw_dst=10.1.1.1,ct_nw_proto=17,ct_tp_src=2,ct_tp_dst=1'
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/flush-conntrack zone=5 \
'ct_nw_src=10.1.1.2,ct_nw_dst=10.1.1.1,ct_nw_proto=17,ct_tp_src=2,ct_tp_dst=1'

This patch adds support of flushing a conntrack entry specified by the
conntrack 5-tuple, and provides the implementation in dpif-netlink.
The implementation of dpif-netlink in the linux datapath utilizes the
NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK netlink subsystem to delete a conntrack entry in
nf_conntrack. Future patches will add support for the userspace and
Windows datapaths.

From the connection tracker perspective, an ICMP connection is a tuple
identified by source ip address, destination ip address and ICMP id.
While this allows basic ICMP traffic (pings) to work, it doesn't take
into account the icmp type: the connection tracker will allow
requests/replies in any directions.
This is improved by making the ICMP type and code part of the connection
tuple. An ICMP echo request packet from A to B, will create a
connection that matches ICMP echo request from A to B and ICMP echo
replies from B to A. The same is done for timestamp and info
request/replies, and for ICMPv6.
A new modules conntrack-icmp is implemented, to allow only "request"
types to create new connections.
Also, since they're tracked in both userspace and kernel
implementations, ICMP type and code are always printed in ct-dpif (a few
testcase are updated as a consequence).

Commit f2d105b5 (ofproto-dpif-xlate: xlate ct_{mark, label} correctly.)
introduced the ovs_u128_and() function. It directly takes ovs_u128
values as arguments instead of pointers to them. As this is a bit more
direct way to deal with 128-bit values, modify the other utility
functions to do the same.
