The ovskey flow-string parser has no OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP entry, so a
flow string containing sctp(src=.../dst=...) parses without error but
silently drops the L4 key. The resulting flow carries only
ipv4(proto=132), and the kernel rejects it: match_validate() in
flow_netlink.c requires OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP when the IP protocol is
IPPROTO_SCTP and returns -EINVAL for the missing key.

Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP in the parse table and add a matching
selftest that verifies SCTP flow key matching (sctp src/dst port).

One listener serves the whole test. socat's fork option handles each
association in a child, so the flow rules are the only thing that
changes between the three phases and the listener is never restarted
underneath them. -t 1 bounds how long a forked child lingers after
its association closes, and the existing kill -TERM of the captured
pid on teardown removes the listener itself.

Also enable CONFIG_IP_SCTP in the selftest kernel config. The config
checker strips underscores before comparing keys, so the entry sorts
before CONFIG_IPV6 rather than after it.

ovs-vswitchd doesn't use OVS_VPORT_TYPE_GRE/VXLAN/GENEVE with the
Linux kernel module since adding support for standard tunnel devices
with COLLECT_METADATA back in 2017.  The code to use them was only
activated as a fallback for old kernels, so not used in practice.  And
it is now fully removed in the upcoming OVS 4.0 release.

Modern way to use tunnels with OVS is to create standard tunnel ports
with RTM_NEWLINK + COLLECT_METADATA and add them as OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV.

Device reference management and the netlink options parsing for these
legacy port types is complicated and was a CVE magnet in the previous
release cycles.  Existence of these modules also makes locking analysis
for geneve module and other core tunnel devices unnecessarily more
complicated, especially in light of migration to per-netns locking.

Since there are no actual users for these port types for a very long
time, let's just remove the support entirely.  There is no practical
reason to run OVS from 2017 on a recent kernel.

While it's technically a uAPI change in some sense, from the user's
perspective this removal looks indistinguishable from the kernel built
with CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE/VXLAN/GRE disabled.  And it seems like
removal of unused drivers/modules is not a rare event these days.

A comment is added to the uAPI header noting that standard RTM_NEWLINK
with COLLECT_METADATA followed by OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW with the simple
OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV should be used instead.

Modules responsible for these tunnel ports are removed as well as
selftests covering this functionality.  Further cleanups will follow.

The kselftests doc mentions that a config file should be present "if a
test needs specific kernel config options enabled". This selftest
requires some kernel config, but no config file was provided.

We could say that a sub-target could use the parent's config file, but
the kselftests doc doesn't mention anything about that. Plus the
net/openvswitch target is the only net target without a config file.

Here is a new config file, which is a trimmed version of the net one,
with hopefully the minimal required kconfig on top of 'make defconfig'.

The Fixes tag points to the introduction of the net/openvswitch target,
just to help validating this target on stable kernels.

Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_ICMPV6 in the flow key parser so that
icmpv6(type=...) can be used in flow specifications. Without this
registration the parser silently drops the token and the kernel
rejects the flow with EINVAL because the expected ICMPv6 key
attribute is missing.

While here, add convert_int() to the ovs_key_ipv6 and ovs_key_icmp
fields_map entries so that specifying a field value produces the
correct wildcard mask. The IPv6 flow label uses convert_int(20) to
produce a 20-bit mask (0x000FFFFF), matching the kernel constraint in
flow_netlink.c that rejects masks with bits 20-31 set; byte-wide
fields use convert_int(8). The ipv4 counterpart already does this via
convert_int(); the ipv6 and icmp classes were simply missing the fifth
tuple element. Existing callers that pass empty parentheses are
unaffected because convert_int("") returns (0, 0).

Add test_icmpv6 exercising the ICMPv6 echo flow key. The test uses
static neighbour entries with nud permanent to prevent racy NDP, then
verifies in three steps: install icmpv6(type=128) and
icmpv6(type=129) flows and confirm ping works, remove the flows and
confirm ping fails, reinstall and confirm recovery.

Add test_trunc exercising the OVS_ACTION_ATTR_TRUNC action. The test
verifies truncation limits in four steps: reject trunc(1) and
trunc(13) which are below ETH_HLEN, confirm normal forwarding works,
apply trunc(14) which truncates packets to the Ethernet header and
verify ping fails, then restore normal forwarding and verify recovery.

The kernel requires max_len >= ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). trunc(14) sets
OVS_CB(skb)->cutlen so pskb_trim strips the IP payload at output
time; the receiver drops the runt frame and no echo reply is
generated.

rewrite. The test verifies the SET action in three steps: first
confirm normal forwarding, then apply set(ipv4(dst=10.0.0.99)) to
rewrite the destination to an address nobody owns and verify ping
fails, then restore normal forwarding and verify connectivity
recovers.

Add mod_flow() and the mod-flow CLI command to ovs-dpctl.py, exercising
OVS_FLOW_CMD_SET. Add test_flow_set which first modifies an existing
flow with new actions and verifies the change via traffic, then modifies
the same flow without actions and verifies the kernel handles the
no-actions case gracefully.

The no-actions path is unreachable from userspace OVS tools (dpctl
mod-flow requires actions) but reachable via raw netlink. This is the
code path where Adrian Moreno found a possible kfree_skb of ERR_PTR
when reply allocation fails after locking.

Make parse() skip OVS_FLOW_ATTR_ACTIONS when actstr is None so the
kernel enters the post-lock allocation branch in ovs_flow_cmd_set().
After the no-actions set, verify via dump-flows that the flow retained
its drop action.

When ip-link output is unavailable, when the upcall daemon log has not
been written yet, or when pahole does not know the OVS drop subsystem
ID, the affected command substitutions silently produce empty strings.
The caller then passes empty sha= or pid= arguments to ovs_add_flow,
or matches against wrong drop reason codes, all without a diagnostic.

Add [ -z ] guards immediately after each assignment. For test_arp_ping,
also align the MAC extraction to use awk '/link\/ether/' as in
test_pop_vlan. The drop_reason guard returns ksft_skip because an
absent subsystem ID is an environment issue, not a test failure.

Add dec_ttl action support to the OVS kernel datapath selftest
framework:

  - Add dec_ttl nested NLA class to ovs-dpctl.py with proper
    OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION sub-attribute handling
  - Add parse support for dec_ttl(le_1(<inner_actions>)) action
    string, consistent with the odp-util.c format where le_1()
    holds the actions taken when TTL reaches 1
  - Add dpstr output formatting for dec_ttl actions
  - Add test_dec_ttl() to openvswitch.sh that verifies:
    * Normal TTL packets are forwarded after decrement
    * TTL=1 packets are dropped (TTL expiry)
    * Graceful skip via ksft_skip if kernel lacks dec_ttl support

The dec_ttl class uses late-binding type resolution to reference
ovsactions for its inner action list, avoiding circular references
at class definition time.
