This is a minimal change to allow removing of VLAN_TAG_PRESENT.
It leaves OVS unable to use CFI bit, as fixing this would need
a deeper surgery involving userspace interface.

<content type='text'>
Add 'clone' action to kernel datapath by using existing functions.
When actions within clone don't modify the current flow, the flow
key is not cloned before executing clone actions.

This is a follow up patch for this incomplete work:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/722096/

v1 -&gt; v2:
Refactor as advised by reviewer.

This adds a ct_clear action for clearing conntrack state. ct_clear is
currently implemented in OVS userspace, but is not backed by an action
in the kernel datapath. This is useful for flows that may modify a
packet tuple after a ct lookup has already occurred.

<title>openvswitch: fix skb_panic due to the incorrect actions attrlen</title>

<id>494bea39f3201776cdfddc232705f54a0bd210c4</id>
<content type='text'>
For sw_flow_actions, the actions_len only represents the kernel part's
size, and when we dump the actions to the userspace, we will do the
convertions, so it's true size may become bigger than the actions_len.

But unfortunately, for OVS_PACKET_ATTR_ACTIONS, we use the actions_len
to alloc the skbuff, so the user_skb's size may become insufficient and
oops will happen like this:
  skbuff: skb_over_panic: text:ffffffff8148fabf len:1749 put:157 head:
  ffff881300f39000 data:ffff881300f39000 tail:0x6d5 end:0x6c0 dev:&lt;NULL&gt;

Also we can find that the actions_len is much little than the orig_len:
  crash&gt; struct sw_flow_actions 0xffff8812f539d000
  struct sw_flow_actions {
    rcu = {
      next = 0xffff8812f5398800,
      func = 0xffffe3b00035db32
    },
    orig_len = 1384,
    actions_len = 592,
    actions = 0xffff8812f539d01c
  }

So as a quick fix, use the orig_len instead of the actions_len to alloc
the user_skb.

Last, this oops happened on our system running a relative old kernel, but
the same risk still exists on the mainline, since we use the wrong
actions_len from the beginning.

<title>openvswitch: Optimize sample action for the clone use cases</title>

<id>798c166173ffb50128993641fcf791df51bed48e</id>
<content type='text'>
With the introduction of open flow 'clone' action, the OVS user space
can now translate the 'clone' action into kernel datapath 'sample'
action, with 100% probability, to ensure that the clone semantics,
which is that the packet seen by the clone action is the same as the
packet seen by the action after clone, is faithfully carried out
in the datapath.

While the sample action in the datpath has the matching semantics,
its implementation is only optimized for its original use.
Specifically, there are two limitation: First, there is a 3 level of
nesting restriction, enforced at the flow downloading time. This
limit turns out to be too restrictive for the 'clone' use case.
Second, the implementation avoid recursive call only if the sample
action list has a single userspace action.

The main optimization implemented in this series removes the static
nesting limit check, instead, implement the run time recursion limit
check, and recursion avoidance similar to that of the 'recirc' action.
This optimization solve both #1 and #2 issues above.

One related optimization attempts to avoid copying flow key as
long as the actions enclosed does not change the flow key. The
detection is performed only once at the flow downloading time.

Another related optimization is to rewrite the action list
at flow downloading time in order to save the fast path from parsing
the sample action list in its original form repeatedly.

With the introduction of open flow 'clone' action, the OVS user space
can now translate the 'clone' action into kernel datapath 'sample'
action, with 100% probability, to ensure that the clone semantics,
which is that the packet seen by the clone action is the same as the
packet seen by the action after clone, is faithfully carried out
in the datapath.

While the sample action in the datpath has the matching semantics,
its implementation is only optimized for its original use.
Specifically, there are two limitation: First, there is a 3 level of
nesting restriction, enforced at the flow downloading time. This
limit turns out to be too restrictive for the 'clone' use case.
Second, the implementation avoid recursive call only if the sample
action list has a single userspace action.

The main optimization implemented in this series removes the static
nesting limit check, instead, implement the run time recursion limit
check, and recursion avoidance similar to that of the 'recirc' action.
This optimization solve both #1 and #2 issues above.

The logic of allocating and copy key for each 'exec_actions_level'
was specific to execute_recirc(). However, future patches will reuse
as well.  Refactor the logic into its own function clone_key().

add_deferred_actions() API currently requires actions to be passed in
as a fully encoded netlink message. So far both 'sample' and 'recirc'
actions happens to carry actions as fully encoded netlink messages.
However, this requirement is more restrictive than necessary, future
patch will need to pass in action lists that are not fully encoded
by themselves.
