360 * each implementation is expected to declare its own data structure that
361 * contains an instance of the generic data structure plus additional
362 * implementation-specific members, called the "derived" state. The
363 * implementation can use casts or (preferably) the CONTAINER_OF macro to
364 * obtain access to derived state given only a pointer to the embedded generic
371 * Four stylized functions accompany each of these data structures:
373 * "alloc" "construct" "destruct" "dealloc"
374 * ------------ ---------------- --------------- --------------
375 * ofproto ->alloc ->construct ->destruct ->dealloc
376 * ofport ->port_alloc ->port_construct ->port_destruct ->port_dealloc
377 * rule ->rule_alloc ->rule_construct ->rule_destruct ->rule_dealloc
378 * group ->group_alloc ->group_construct ->group_destruct ->group_dealloc
380 * "ofproto", "ofport", and "group" have this exact life cycle. The "rule"
381 * data structure also follow this life cycle with some additional elaborations
382 * described under "Rule Life Cycle" below.
384 * Any instance of a given data structure goes through the following life
387 * 1. The client calls the "alloc" function to obtain raw memory. If "alloc"
388 * fails, skip all the other steps.
390 * 2. The client initializes all of the data structure's base state. If this
391 * fails, skip to step 7.
393 * 3. The client calls the "construct" function. The implementation
394 * initializes derived state. It may refer to the already-initialized
395 * base state. If "construct" fails, skip to step 6.
397 * 4. The data structure is now initialized and in use.
399 * 5. When the data structure is no longer needed, the client calls the
400 * "destruct" function. The implementation uninitializes derived state.
401 * The base state has not been uninitialized yet, so the implementation
402 * may still refer to it.
404 * 6. The client uninitializes all of the data structure's base state.
406 * 7. The client calls the "dealloc" to free the raw memory. The
407 * implementation must not refer to base or derived state in the data
408 * structure, because it has already been uninitialized.
410 * Each "alloc" function allocates and returns a new instance of the respective
411 * data structure. The "alloc" function is not given any information about the
412 * use of the new data structure, so it cannot perform much initialization.
413 * Its purpose is just to ensure that the new data structure has enough room
414 * for base and derived state. It may return a null pointer if memory is not
415 * available, in which case none of the other functions is called.
417 * Each "construct" function initializes derived state in its respective data
418 * structure. When "construct" is called, all of the base state has already
419 * been initialized, so the "construct" function may refer to it. The
420 * "construct" function is allowed to fail, in which case the client calls the
421 * "dealloc" function (but not the "destruct" function).
423 * Each "destruct" function uninitializes and frees derived state in its
424 * respective data structure. When "destruct" is called, the base state has
425 * not yet been uninitialized, so the "destruct" function may refer to it. The
426 * "destruct" function is not allowed to fail.
428 * Each "dealloc" function frees raw memory that was allocated by the the
429 * "alloc" function. The memory's base and derived members might not have ever
430 * been initialized (but if "construct" returned successfully, then it has been
431 * "destruct"ed already). The "dealloc" function is not allowed to fail.
437 * Most of these functions return 0 if they are successful or a positive error
438 * code on failure. Depending on the function, valid error codes are either
439 * errno values or OFPERR_* OpenFlow error codes.
441 * Most of these functions are expected to execute synchronously, that is, to
442 * block as necessary to obtain a result. Thus, these functions may return
443 * EAGAIN (or EWOULDBLOCK or EINPROGRESS) only where the function descriptions
444 * explicitly say those errors are a possibility. We may relax this
445 * requirement in the future if and when we encounter performance problems. */

971 * Asynchronous Operation Support
972 * ==============================
974 * The "insert" and "delete" life-cycle operations on rules can operate
975 * asynchronously, meaning that ->rule_insert() and ->rule_delete() only
976 * need to initiate their respective operations and do not need to wait for
977 * them to complete before they return. ->rule_modify_actions() also
978 * operates asynchronously.
980 * An ofproto implementation reports the success or failure of an
981 * asynchronous operation on a rule using the rule's 'pending' member,
982 * which points to a opaque "struct ofoperation" that represents the
983 * ongoing operation. When the operation completes, the ofproto
984 * implementation calls ofoperation_complete(), passing the ofoperation and
985 * an error indication.
987 * Only the following contexts may call ofoperation_complete():
989 * - The function called to initiate the operation, e.g. ->rule_insert()
990 * or ->rule_delete(). This is the best choice if the operation
993 * - The implementation's ->run() function.
995 * - The implementation's ->destruct() function.
997 * The ofproto base code updates the flow table optimistically, assuming
998 * that the operation will probably succeed:
1000 * - ofproto adds the rule in the flow table before calling
1003 * - ofproto updates the rule's actions and other properties before
1004 * calling ->rule_modify_actions().
1006 * - ofproto removes the rule before calling ->rule_delete().
1008 * With one exception, when an asynchronous operation completes with an
1009 * error, ofoperation_complete() backs out the already applied changes:
1011 * - If adding a rule in the flow table fails, ofproto removes the new
1014 * - If modifying a rule fails, ofproto restores the original actions
1015 * (and other properties).
1017 * - Removing a rule is not allowed to fail. It must always succeed.
1019 * The ofproto base code serializes operations: if any operation is in
1020 * progress on a given rule, ofproto postpones initiating any new operation
1021 * on that rule until the pending operation completes. Therefore, every
1022 * operation must eventually complete through a call to
1023 * ofoperation_complete() to avoid delaying new operations indefinitely
1024 * (including any OpenFlow request that affects the rule in question, even
1025 * just to query its statistics).
1031 * When ->rule_construct() is called, 'rule' is a new rule that is not yet
1032 * inserted into a flow table. ->rule_construct() should initialize enough
1033 * of the rule's derived state for 'rule' to be suitable for inserting into
1034 * a flow table. ->rule_construct() should not modify any base members of
1037 * If ->rule_construct() fails (as indicated by returning a nonzero
1038 * OpenFlow error code), the ofproto base code will uninitialize and
1039 * deallocate 'rule'. See "Rule Life Cycle" above for more details.
1041 * ->rule_construct() may also:
1043 * - Validate that the datapath supports the matching rule in 'rule->cr'
1044 * datapath. For example, if the rule's table does not support
1045 * registers, then it is an error if 'rule->cr' does not wildcard all
1048 * - Validate that the datapath can correctly implement 'rule->ofpacts'.
1050 * Some implementations might need to defer these tasks to ->rule_insert(),
1051 * which is also acceptable.
1057 * Following successful construction, the ofproto base case inserts 'rule'
1058 * into its flow table, then it calls ->rule_insert(). ->rule_insert()
1059 * should set in motion adding the new rule to the datapath flow table. It
1060 * must act as follows:
1062 * - If it completes insertion, either by succeeding or failing, it must
1063 * call ofoperation_complete()
1065 * - If insertion is only partially complete, then it must return without
1066 * calling ofoperation_complete(). Later, when the insertion is
1067 * complete, the ->run() or ->destruct() function must call
1068 * ofoperation_complete() to report success or failure.
1070 * If ->rule_insert() fails, the ofproto base code will remove 'rule' from
1071 * the flow table, destruct, uninitialize, and deallocate 'rule'. See
1072 * "Rule Life Cycle" above for more details.
1078 * The ofproto base code removes 'rule' from its flow table before it calls
1079 * ->rule_delete(). ->rule_delete() should set in motion removing 'rule'
1080 * from the datapath flow table. It must act as follows:
1082 * - If it completes deletion, it must call ofoperation_complete().

1085 * calling ofoperation_complete(). Later, when the deletion is
1086 * complete, the ->run() or ->destruct() function must call
