f579668406 openvswitch: Add support for Geneve tunneling.
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.

6b205b2ca1 openvswitch: Factor out allocation and verification of actions.
As the size of the flow key grows, it can put some pressure on the
stack. This is particularly true in ovs_flow_cmd_set(), which needs several
copies of the key on the stack. One of those uses is logically separate,
so this factors it out to reduce stack pressure and improve readibility.

f0b128c1e2 openvswitch: Wrap struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel in a new structure.
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.

67fa034194 openvswitch: Add support for matching on OAM packets.
Some tunnel formats have mechanisms for indicating that packets are
OAM frames that should be handled specially (either as high priority or
not forwarded beyond an endpoint). This provides support for allowing
those types of packets to be matched.

0714812134 openvswitch: Eliminate memset() from flow_extract.
As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to
increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In
order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable
length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from
the packet we must still zero out the entire key.

This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any
fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given
protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out
during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable
length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well.

In principle, the only thing that needs to be done at this point
is remove the memset() at the beginning of flow. However, some
fields assume that they are initialized to zero, which now must be
done explicitly. In addition, in the event of an error we must also
zero out corresponding fields to signal that there is no valid data
present. These increase the total amount of code but very little of
it is executed in non-error situations.

Removing the memset() reduces the profile of ovs_flow_extract()
from 0.64% to 0.56% when tested with large packets on a 10G link.

971427f353 openvswitch: Add recirc and hash action.
Recirc action allows a packet to reenter openvswitch processing.
currently openvswitch lookup flow for packet received and execute
set of actions on that packet, with help of recirc action we can
process/modify the packet and recirculate it back in openvswitch
for another pass.

OVS hash action calculates 5-tupple hash and set hash in flow-key
hash. This can be used along with recirculation for distributing
packets among different ports for bond devices.
For example:
OVS bonding can use following actions:
Match on: bond flow; Action: hash, recirc(id)
Match on: recirc-id == id and hash lower bits == a;
          Action: output port_bond_a

2ba5af42a7 openvswitch: fix panic with multiple vlan headers
When there are multiple vlan headers present in a received frame, the first
one is put into vlan_tci and protocol is set to ETH_P_8021Q. Anything in the
skb beyond the VLAN TPID may be still non-linear, including the inner TCI
and ethertype. While ovs_flow_extract takes care of IP and IPv6 headers, it
does nothing with ETH_P_8021Q. Later, if OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_VLAN is
executed, __pop_vlan_tci pulls the next vlan header into vlan_tci.

This leads to two things:

1. Part of the resulting ethernet header is in the non-linear part of the
   skb. When eth_type_trans is called later as the result of
   OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT, kernel BUGs in __skb_pull. Also, __pop_vlan_tci
   is in fact accessing random data when it reads past the TPID.

2. network_header points into the ethernet header instead of behind it.
   mac_len is set to a wrong value (10), too.

651887b0c2 openvswitch: Sample action without side effects
The sample action is rather generic, allowing arbitrary actions to be
executed based on a probability. However its use, within the Open
vSwitch
code-base is limited: only a single user-space action is ever nested.

A consequence of the current implementation of sample actions is that
depending on weather the sample action executed (due to its probability)
any side-effects of nested actions may or may not be present before
executing subsequent actions.  This has the potential to complicate
verification of valid actions by the (kernel) datapath. And indeed
adding support for push and pop MPLS actions inside sample actions
is one case where such case.

In order to allow all supported actions to be continue to be nested
inside sample actions without the potential need for complex
verification code this patch changes the implementation of the sample
action in the kernel datapath so that sample actions are more like
a function call and any side effects of nested actions are not
present when executing subsequent actions.

With the above in mind the motivation for this change is twofold:

* To contain side-effects the sample action in the hope of making it
  easier to deal with in the future and;
* To avoid some rather complex verification code introduced in the MPLS
  datapath patch.

aed067783e openvswitch: Minimize ovs_flow_cmd_del critical section.
ovs_flow_cmd_del() now allocates reply (if needed) after the flow has
already been removed from the flow table.  If the reply allocation
fails, a netlink error is signaled with netlink_set_err(), as is
already done in ovs_flow_cmd_new_or_set() in the similar situation.

0e9796b4af openvswitch: Reduce locking requirements.
Reduce and clarify locking requirements for ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info(),
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() and ovs_flow_cmd_build_info().

A datapath pointer is available only when holding a lock.  Change
ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info() and ovs_flow_cmd_build_info() to take a
dp_ifindex directly, rather than a datapath pointer that is then
(only) used to get the dp_ifindex.  This is useful, since the
dp_ifindex is available even when the datapath pointer is not, both
before and after taking a lock, which makes further critical section
reduction possible.

Make ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info() take an 'acts' argument instead a
'flow' pointer.  This allows some future patches to do the allocation
before acquiring the flow pointer.

The locking requirements after this patch are:

ovs_flow_cmd_alloc_info(): May be called without locking, must not be
called while holding the RCU read lock (due to memory allocation).
If 'acts' belong to a flow in the flow table, however, then the
caller must hold ovs_mutex.

ovs_flow_cmd_fill_info(): Either ovs_mutex or RCU read lock must be held.

ovs_flow_cmd_build_info(): This calls both of the above, so the caller
must hold ovs_mutex.

86ec8dbae2 openvswitch: Fix ovs_flow_stats_get/clear RCU dereference.
For ovs_flow_stats_get() using ovsl_dereference() was wrong, since
flow dumps call this with RCU read lock.

ovs_flow_stats_clear() is always called with ovs_mutex, so can use
ovsl_dereference().

Also, make the ovs_flow_stats_get() 'flow' argument const to make
later patches cleaner.

6093ae9aba openvswitch: Minimize dp and vport critical sections.
Move most memory allocations away from the ovs_mutex critical
sections.  vport allocations still happen while the lock is taken, as
changing that would require major refactoring. Also, vports are
created very rarely so it should not matter.

Change ovs_dp_cmd_get() now only takes the rcu_read_lock(), rather
than ovs_lock(), as nothing need to be changed.  This was done by
ovs_vport_cmd_get() already.

56c19868e1 openvswitch: Make flow mask removal symmetric.
Masks are inserted when flows are inserted to the table, so it is
logical to correspondingly remove masks when flows are removed from
the table, in ovs_flow_table_remove().

This allows ovs_flow_free() to be called without locking, which will
be used by later patches.

fb5d1e9e12 openvswitch: Build flow cmd netlink reply only if needed.
Use netlink_has_listeners() and NLM_F_ECHO flag to determine if a
reply is needed or not for OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW, OVS_FLOW_CMD_SET, or
OVS_FLOW_CMD_DEL.  Currently, OVS userspace does not request a reply
for OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW, but usually does for OVS_FLOW_CMD_DEL, as stats
may have changed.
