struct sw_flow_key has two 16-bit holes. Move the most matched

<title>openvswitch: Add original direction conntrack tuple to sw_flow_key.</title>

<id>9dd7f8907c3705dc7a7a375d1c6e30b06e6daffc</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

It's not allowed to push Ethernet header in front of another Ethernet
header.

It's not allowed to pop Ethernet header if there's a vlan tag. This
preserves the invariant that L3 packet never has a vlan tag.

Extend the ovs flow netlink protocol to support L3 packets. Packets without
OVS_KEY_ATTR_ETHERNET attribute specify L3 packets; for those, the
OVS_KEY_ATTR_ETHERTYPE attribute is mandatory.

Push/pop vlan actions are only supported for Ethernet packets.

<title>openvswitch: add mac_proto field to the flow key</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

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.

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.
