Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling
case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

Changing 'return start' to 'return action_start' can fix this bug.

Currently, the openvswitch module is not accepting the correctly formated
netlink message for the TTL decrement action. For both setting and getting
the dec_ttl action, the actions should be nested in the
OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION attribute as mentioned in the openvswitch.h uapi.

When the original patch was sent, it was tested with a private OVS userspace
implementation. This implementation was unfortunately not upstreamed and
reviewed, hence an erroneous version of this patch was sent out.

Leaving the patch as-is would cause problems as the kernel module could
interpret additional attributes as actions and vice-versa, due to the
actions not being encapsulated/nested within the actual attribute, but
being concatinated after it.

<title>openvswitch: Distribute switch variables for initialization</title>

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements
cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as
they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic
stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they
don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization
(via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also
doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase,
so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.

To avoid these problems, move such variables into the "case" where
they're used or lift them up into the main function body.

net/openvswitch/flow_netlink.c: In function ‘validate_set’:
net/openvswitch/flow_netlink.c:2711:29: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable]

New action to decrement TTL instead of setting it to a fixed value.
This action will decrement the TTL and, in case of expired TTL, drop it
or execute an action passed via a nested attribute.
The default TTL expired action is to drop the packet.

Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 via the ttl and hop_limit fields, respectively.

Tested with a corresponding change in the userspace:

    # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
    in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:dec_ttl{ttl&lt;=1 action:(drop)},1
    in_port(1),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:dec_ttl{ttl&lt;=1 action:(drop)},2
    in_port(1),eth(),eth_type(0x0806), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:2
    in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0806), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:1

    # ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 42
    IP (tos 0x0, ttl 41, id 61647, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
        192.168.0.1 &gt; 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 386, seq 1, length 64
    # ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 120
    IP (tos 0x0, ttl 119, id 62070, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
        192.168.0.1 &gt; 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 388, seq 1, length 64
    # ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 1

<title>openvswitch: New MPLS actions for layer 2 tunnelling</title>

<id>f66b53fdbb22ced1a323b22b9de84a61aacd8d18</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing PUSH MPLS action inserts MPLS header between ethernet header
and the IP header. Though this behaviour is fine for L3 VPN where an IP
packet is encapsulated inside a MPLS tunnel, it does not suffice the L2
VPN (l2 tunnelling) requirements. In L2 VPN the MPLS header should
encapsulate the ethernet packet.

The new mpls action ADD_MPLS inserts MPLS header at the start of the
packet or at the start of the l3 header depending on the value of l3 tunnel
flag in the ADD_MPLS arguments.

POP_MPLS action is extended to support ethertype 0x6558.

The openvswitch was supporting a MPLS label depth of 1 in the ingress
direction though the userspace OVS supports a max depth of 3 labels.
This change enables openvswitch module to support a max depth of
3 labels in the ingress.

We currently have two levels of strict validation:

 1) liberal (default)
     - undefined (type &gt;= max) &amp; NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted
     - garbage at end of message accepted
 2) strict (opt-in)
     - NLA_UNSPEC attributes accepted
     - attribute length &gt;= expected accepted

Split out parsing strictness into four different options:
 * TRAILING     - check that there's no trailing data after parsing
                  attributes (in message or nested)
 * MAXTYPE      - reject attrs &gt; max known type
 * UNSPEC       - reject attributes with NLA_UNSPEC policy entries
 * STRICT_ATTRS - strictly validate attribute size

The default for future things should be *everything*.
The current *_strict() is a combination of TRAILING and MAXTYPE,
and is renamed to _deprecated_strict().
The current regular parsing has none of this, and is renamed to
*_parse_deprecated().

Additionally it allows us to selectively set one of the new flags
even on old policies. Notably, the UNSPEC flag could be useful in
this case, since it can be arranged (by filling in the policy) to
not be an incompatible userspace ABI change, but would then going
forward prevent forgetting attribute entries. Similar can apply
to the POLICY flag.

We end up with the following renames:
 * nla_parse           -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated
 * nla_parse_strict    -&gt; nla_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nlmsg_parse         -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated
 * nlmsg_parse_strict  -&gt; nlmsg_parse_deprecated_strict
 * nla_parse_nested    -&gt; nla_parse_nested_deprecated
 * nla_validate_nested -&gt; nla_validate_nested_deprecated

For this patch, don't actually add the strict, non-renamed versions
yet so that it breaks compile if I get it wrong.

Also, while at it, make nla_validate and nla_parse go down to a
common __nla_validate_parse() function to avoid code duplication.

Ultimately, this allows us to have very strict validation for every
new caller of nla_parse()/nlmsg_parse() etc as re-introduced in the
next patch, while existing things will continue to work as is.

In effect then, this adds fully strict validation for any new command.
