openvswitch: Pack struct sw_flow_key.

2017-02-10T03:59:34+00:00

struct sw_flow_key has two 16-bit holes. Move the most matched
conntrack match fields there.  In some typical cases this reduces the
size of the key that needs to be hashed into half and into one cache
line.

openvswitch: Add original direction conntrack tuple to sw_flow_key.

2017-02-10T03:59:34+00:00

Add the fields of the conntrack original direction 5-tuple to struct
sw_flow_key.  The new fields are initially marked as non-existent, and
are populated whenever a conntrack action is executed and either finds
or generates a conntrack entry.  This means that these fields exist
for all packets that were not rejected by conntrack as untrackable.

The original tuple fields in the sw_flow_key are filled from the
original direction tuple of the conntrack entry relating to the
current packet, or from the original direction tuple of the master
conntrack entry, if the current conntrack entry has a master.
Generally, expected connections of connections having an assigned
helper (e.g., FTP), have a master conntrack entry.

The main purpose of the new conntrack original tuple fields is to
allow matching on them for policy decision purposes, with the premise
that the admissibility of tracked connections reply packets (as well
as original direction packets), and both direction packets of any
related connections may be based on ACL rules applying to the master
connection's original direction 5-tuple.  This also makes it easier to
make policy decisions when the actual packet headers might have been
transformed by NAT, as the original direction 5-tuple represents the
packet headers before any such transformation.

When using the original direction 5-tuple the admissibility of return
and/or related packets need not be based on the mere existence of a
conntrack entry, allowing separation of admission policy from the
established conntrack state.  While existence of a conntrack entry is
required for admission of the return or related packets, policy
changes can render connections that were initially admitted to be
rejected or dropped afterwards.  If the admission of the return and
related packets was based on mere conntrack state (e.g., connection
being in an established state), a policy change that would make the
connection rejected or dropped would need to find and delete all
conntrack entries affected by such a change.  When using the original
direction 5-tuple matching the affected conntrack entries can be
allowed to time out instead, as the established state of the
connection would not need to be the basis for packet admission any
more.

It should be noted that the directionality of related connections may
be the same or different than that of the master connection, and
neither the original direction 5-tuple nor the conntrack state bits
carry this information.  If needed, the directionality of the master
connection can be stored in master's conntrack mark or labels, which
are automatically inherited by the expected related connections.

The fact that neither ARP nor ND packets are trackable by conntrack
allows mutual exclusion between ARP/ND and the new conntrack original
tuple fields.  Hence, the IP addresses are overlaid in union with ARP
and ND fields.  This allows the sw_flow_key to not grow much due to
this patch, but it also means that we must be careful to never use the
new key fields with ARP or ND packets.  ARP is easy to distinguish and
keep mutually exclusive based on the ethernet type, but ND being an
ICMPv6 protocol requires a bit more attention.

openvswitch: add mac_proto field to the flow key

2016-11-13T05:51:02+00:00

Use a hole in the structure. We support only Ethernet so far and will add
a support for L2-less packets shortly. We could use a bool to indicate
whether the Ethernet header is present or not but the approach with the
mac_proto field is more generic and occupies the same number of bytes in the
struct, while allowing later extensibility. It also makes the code in the
next patches more self explaining.

It would be nice to use ARPHRD_ constants but those are u16 which would be
waste. Thus define our own constants.

Another upside of this is that we can overload this new field to also denote
whether the flow key is valid. This has the advantage that on
refragmentation, we don't have to reparse the packet but can rely on the
stored eth.type. This is especially important for the next patches in this
series - instead of adding another branch for L2-less packets before calling
ovs_fragment, we can just remove all those branches completely.

openvswitch: use percpu flow stats

2016-09-19T02:14:01+00:00

Instead of using flow stats per NUMA node, use it per CPU. When using
megaflows, the stats lock can be a bottleneck in scalability.

On a E5-2690 12-core system, usual throughput went from ~4Mpps to
~15Mpps when forwarding between two 40GbE ports with a single flow
configured on the datapath.

This has been tested on a system with possible CPUs 0-7,16-23. After
module removal, there were no corruption on the slab cache.

openvswitch: 802.1AD Flow handling, actions, vlan parsing, netlink attributes

2016-09-09T00:10:28+00:00

Add support for 802.1ad including the ability to push and pop double
tagged vlans. Add support for 802.1ad to netlink parsing and flow
conversion. Uses double nested encap attributes to represent double
tagged vlan. Inner TPID encoded along with ctci in nested attributes.

This is based on Thomas F Herbert's original v20 patch. I made some
small clean ups and bug fixes.

ip_tunnels, bpf: define IP_TUNNEL_OPTS_MAX and use it

2016-03-18T23:38:46+00:00

eBPF defines this as BPF_TUNLEN_MAX and OVS just uses the hard-coded
value inside struct sw_flow_key. Thus, add and use IP_TUNNEL_OPTS_MAX
for this, which makes the code a bit more generic and allows to remove
BPF_TUNLEN_MAX from eBPF code.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/usb/asix_common.c
	net/ipv4/inet_connection_sock.c

In the inet_connection_sock.c case the request socket hashing scheme
is completely different in net-next.

The other two conflicts were overlapping changes.

openvswitch: add tunnel protocol to sw_flow_key

2015-10-07T11:17:59+00:00

Store tunnel protocol (AF_INET or AF_INET6) in sw_flow_key. This field now
also acts as an indicator whether the flow contains tunnel data (this was
previously indicated by tun_key.u.ipv4.dst being set but with IPv6 addresses
in an union with IPv4 ones this won't work anymore).

The new field was added to a hole in sw_flow_key.

Conntrack LABELS (plural) are exposed by conntrack; rename the OVS name

openvswitch: Allow matching on conntrack label

2015-08-27T18:40:43+00:00

Allow matching and setting the ct_label field. As with ct_mark, this is
populated by executing the CT action. The label field may be modified by
specifying a label and mask nested under the CT action. It is stored as
metadata attached to the connection. Label modification occurs after
lookup, and will only persist when the conntrack entry is committed by
providing the COMMIT flag to the CT action. Labels are currently fixed
to 128 bits in size.
