net: openvswitch: Support masked set actions.

2015-02-08T06:40:17Z

OVS userspace already probes the openvswitch kernel module for OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET_MASKED support. This patch adds the kernel module implementation of masked set actions. The existing set action sets many fields at once. When only a subset of the IP header fields, for example, should be modified, all the IP fields need to be exact matched so that the other field values can be copied to the set action. A masked set action allows modification of an arbitrary subset of the supported header bits without requiring the rest to be matched. Masked set action is now supported for all writeable key types, except for the tunnel key. The set tunnel action is an exception as any input tunnel info is cleared before action processing starts, so there is no tunnel info to mask. The kernel module converts all (non-tunnel) set actions to masked set actions. This makes action processing more uniform, and results in less branching and duplicating the action processing code. When returning actions to userspace, the fully masked set actions are converted back to normal set actions. We use a kernel internal action code to be able to tell the userspace provided and converted masked set actions apart. Signed-off-by: Jarno Rajahalme Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Add support for unique flow IDs.

2015-01-26T23:45:50Z

Previously, flows were manipulated by userspace specifying a full, unmasked flow key. This adds significant burden onto flow serialization/deserialization, particularly when dumping flows. This patch adds an alternative way to refer to flows using a variable-length "unique flow identifier" (UFID). At flow setup time, userspace may specify a UFID for a flow, which is stored with the flow and inserted into a separate table for lookup, in addition to the standard flow table. Flows created using a UFID must be fetched or deleted using the UFID. All flow dump operations may now be made more terse with OVS_UFID_F_* flags. For example, the OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_KEY flag allows responses to omit the flow key from a datapath operation if the flow has a corresponding UFID. This significantly reduces the time spent assembling and transacting netlink messages. With all OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_* flags enabled, the datapath only returns the UFID and statistics for each flow during flow dump, increasing ovs-vswitchd revalidator performance by 40% or more.

openvswitch: Support VXLAN Group Policy extension

2015-01-15T06:11:41Z

Introduces support for the group policy extension to the VXLAN virtual port. The extension is disabled by default and only enabled if the user has provided the respective configuration. ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vxlan0 -- \ set Interface vxlan0 type=vxlan options:exts=gbp The configuration interface to enable the extension is based on a new attribute OVS_VXLAN_EXT_GBP nested inside OVS_TUNNEL_ATTR_EXTENSION which can carry additional extensions as needed in the future. The group policy metadata is stored as binary blob (struct ovs_vxlan_opts) internally just like Geneve options but transported as nested Netlink attributes to user space. Renames the existing TUNNEL_OPTIONS_PRESENT to TUNNEL_GENEVE_OPT with the binary value kept intact, a new flag TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT is introduced. The attributes OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_VXLAN_OPTS and existing OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_GENEVE_OPTS are implemented mutually exclusive. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

openvswitch: packet messages need their own probe attribtue

2015-01-14T21:49:44Z

User space is currently sending a OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE for both flow and packet messages. This leads to an out-of-bounds access in ovs_packet_cmd_execute() because OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE > OVS_PACKET_ATTR_MAX. Introduce a new OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PROBE with the same numeric value as OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE to grow the range of accepted packet attributes while maintaining to be binary compatible with existing OVS binaries.

openvswitch: Add support for OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE.

2014-11-10T02:58:44Z

This new flag is useful for suppressing error logging while probing for datapath features using flow commands. For backwards compatibility reasons the commands are executed normally, but error logging is suppressed. Signed-off-by: Jarno Rajahalme Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Extend packet attribute for egress tunnel info

2014-11-10T02:58:44Z

OVS vswitch has extended IPFIX exporter to export tunnel headers to improve network visibility. To export this information userspace needs to know egress tunnel for given packet. By extending packet attributes datapath can export egress tunnel info for given packet. So that userspace can ask for egress tunnel info in userspace action. This information is used to build IPFIX data for given flow. Signed-off-by: Wenyu Zhang Acked-by: Romain Lenglet Acked-by: Ben Pfaff Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Add basic MPLS support to kernel

2014-11-06T07:52:33Z

Allow datapath to recognize and extract MPLS labels into flow keys and execute actions which push, pop, and set labels on packets.

openvswitch: Add support for Geneve tunneling.

2014-10-06T04:32:21Z

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options that are in use and can handle newly defined options without further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

openvswitch: Wrap struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel in a new structure.

2014-10-06T04:32:20Z

Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However, as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable, as in the case of pointers. This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.
