+/* Nicira vendor-specific error messages extension.
+ *
+ * OpenFlow 1.0 has a set of predefined error types (OFPET_*) and codes (which
+ * are specific to each type). It does not have any provision for
+ * vendor-specific error codes, and it does not even provide "generic" error
+ * codes that can apply to problems not anticipated by the OpenFlow
+ * specification authors.
+ *
+ * This extension attempts to address the problem by adding a generic "error
+ * vendor extension". The extension works as follows: use NXET_VENDOR as type
+ * and NXVC_VENDOR_ERROR as code, followed by struct nx_vendor_error with
+ * vendor-specific details, followed by at least 64 bytes of the failed
+ * request.
+ *
+ * It would be better to have a type-specific vendor extension, e.g. so that
+ * OFPET_BAD_ACTION could be used with vendor-specific code values. But
+ * OFPET_BAD_ACTION and most other standardized types already specify that
+ * their 'data' values are (the start of) the OpenFlow message being replied
+ * to, so there is no room to insert a vendor ID.
+ *
+ * Currently this extension is only implemented by Open vSwitch, but it seems
+ * like a reasonable candidate for future standardization.

+ * cases by comparing the current and maximum number of entries reported
+ * in ofp_table_stats.)

+ * If the table ID is wildcarded, the switch picks an appropriate table
+ * itself. If an identical flow already exist in the selected flow table,

+ * that are already in the switch; for example, if one table fills up then
+ * the switch might fall back to another one.
+ *
+ * - OFPFC_MODIFY, OFPFC_DELETE: Given a specific table ID, only flows
+ * within that table are matched and modified or deleted. If the table ID
+ * is wildcarded, flows within any table may be matched and modified or
+ * deleted.
+ *
+ * - OFPFC_MODIFY_STRICT, OFPFC_DELETE_STRICT: Given a specific table ID,

+/* Action structure for NXAST_LEARN.
+ *
+ * This action adds or modifies a flow in an OpenFlow table, similar to

+ * specified idle timeout, hard timeout, priority, cookie, and flags. The new
+ * flow's match criteria and actions are built by applying each of the series
+ * of flow_mod_spec elements included as part of the action.
+ *
+ * A flow_mod_spec starts with a 16-bit header. A header that is all-bits-0 is
+ * a no-op used for padding the action as a whole to a multiple of 8 bytes in
+ * length. Otherwise, the flow_mod_spec can be thought of as copying 'n_bits'
+ * bits from a source to a destination. In this case, the header contains
+ * multiple fields:
+ *
+ * 15 14 13 12 11 10 0
+ * +------+---+------+---------------------------------+
+ * | 0 |src| dst | n_bits |
+ * +------+---+------+---------------------------------+
+ *
+ * The meaning and format of a flow_mod_spec depends on 'src' and 'dst'. The
+ * following table summarizes the meaning of each possible combination.
+ * Details follow the table:
+ *
+ * src dst meaning
+ * --- --- ----------------------------------------------------------
+ * 0 0 Add match criteria based on value in a field.
+ * 1 0 Add match criteria based on an immediate value.
+ * 0 1 Add NXAST_REG_LOAD action to copy field into a different field.
+ * 1 1 Add NXAST_REG_LOAD action to load immediate value into a field.
+ * 0 2 Add OFPAT_OUTPUT action to output to port from specified field.
+ * All other combinations are undefined and not allowed.
+ *
+ * The flow_mod_spec header is followed by a source specification and a
+ * destination specification. The format and meaning of the source
+ * specification depends on 'src':
+ *
+ * - If 'src' is 0, the source bits are taken from a field in the flow to
+ * which this action is attached. (This should be a wildcarded field. If
+ * its value is fully specified then the source bits being copied have
+ * constant values.)
+ *
+ * The source specification is an ovs_be32 'field' and an ovs_be16 'ofs'.
+ * 'field' is an nxm_header with nxm_hasmask=0, and 'ofs' the starting bit
+ * offset within that field. The source bits are field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1].
+ * 'field' and 'ofs' are subject to the same restrictions as the source
+ * field in NXAST_REG_MOVE.
+ *
+ * - If 'src' is 1, the source bits are a constant value. The source
+ * specification is (n_bits+15)/16*2 bytes long. Taking those bytes as a
+ * number in network order, the source bits are the 'n_bits'
+ * least-significant bits. The switch will report an error if other bits
+ * in the constant are nonzero.
+ *
+ * The flow_mod_spec destination specification, for 'dst' of 0 or 1, is an
+ * ovs_be32 'field' and an ovs_be16 'ofs'. 'field' is an nxm_header with
+ * nxm_hasmask=0 and 'ofs' is a starting bit offset within that field. The
+ * meaning of the flow_mod_spec depends on 'dst':
+ *
+ * - If 'dst' is 0, the flow_mod_spec specifies match criteria for the new
+ * flow. The new flow matches only if bits field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1] in a
+ * packet equal the source bits. 'field' may be any nxm_header with
+ * nxm_hasmask=0 that is allowed in NXT_FLOW_MOD.
+ *
+ * Order is significant. Earlier flow_mod_specs must satisfy any
+ * prerequisites for matching fields specified later, by copying constant
+ * values into prerequisite fields.
+ *
+ * The switch will reject flow_mod_specs that do not satisfy NXM masking
+ * restrictions.
+ *
+ * - If 'dst' is 1, the flow_mod_spec specifies an NXAST_REG_LOAD action for
+ * the new flow. The new flow copies the source bits into
+ * field[ofs:ofs+n_bits-1]. Actions are executed in the same order as the
+ * flow_mod_specs.
+ *
+ * A single NXAST_REG_LOAD action writes no more than 64 bits, so n_bits
+ * greater than 64 yields multiple NXAST_REG_LOAD actions.
+ *
+ * The flow_mod_spec destination spec for 'dst' of 2 (when 'src' is 0) is
+ * empty. It has the following meaning:
+ *
+ * - The flow_mod_spec specifies an OFPAT_OUTPUT action for the new flow.
+ * The new flow outputs to the OpenFlow port specified by the source field.
+ * Of the special output ports with value OFPP_MAX or larger, OFPP_IN_PORT,
+ * OFPP_FLOOD, OFPP_LOCAL, and OFPP_ALL are supported. Other special ports
+ * may not be used.
+ *
+ * Resource Management
+ * -------------------
+ *
+ * A switch has a finite amount of flow table space available for learning.
+ * When this space is exhausted, no new learning table entries will be learned
+ * until some existing flow table entries expire. The controller should be
+ * prepared to handle this by flooding (which can be implemented as a
+ * low-priority flow).
+ *
+ * If a learned flow matches a single TCP stream with a relatively long
+ * timeout, one may make the best of resource constraints by setting
+ * 'fin_idle_timeout' or 'fin_hard_timeout' (both measured in seconds), or
+ * both, to shorter timeouts. When either of these is specified as a nonzero
+ * value, OVS adds a NXAST_FIN_TIMEOUT action, with the specified timeouts, to
+ * the learned flow.
+ *
+ * Examples
+ * --------
+ *
+ * The following examples give a prose description of the flow_mod_specs along
+ * with informal notation for how those would be represented and a hex dump of
+ * the bytes that would be required.
+ *
+ * These examples could work with various nx_action_learn parameters. Typical
+ * values would be idle_timeout=OFP_FLOW_PERMANENT, hard_timeout=60,
+ * priority=OFP_DEFAULT_PRIORITY, flags=0, table_id=10.
+ *
+ * 1. Learn input port based on the source MAC, with lookup into
+ * NXM_NX_REG1[16:31] by resubmit to in_port=99:
+ *
+ * Match on in_port=99:
+ * ovs_be16(src=1, dst=0, n_bits=16), 20 10
+ * ovs_be16(99), 00 63
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_IN_PORT), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 00 02 00 00
+ *
+ * Match Ethernet destination on Ethernet source from packet:
+ * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=48), 00 30
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_SRC), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 04 06 00 00
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_DST), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 02 06 00 00
+ *
+ * Set NXM_NX_REG1[16:31] to the packet's input port:
+ * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=1, n_bits=16), 08 10
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_IN_PORT), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 00 02 00 00
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_NX_REG1), ovs_be16(16) 00 01 02 04 00 10
+ *
+ * Given a packet that arrived on port A with Ethernet source address B,
+ * this would set up the flow "in_port=99, dl_dst=B,
+ * actions=load:A->NXM_NX_REG1[16..31]".
+ *
+ * In syntax accepted by ovs-ofctl, this action is: learn(in_port=99,
+ * NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[],
+ * load:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]->NXM_NX_REG1[16..31])
+ *
+ * 2. Output to input port based on the source MAC and VLAN VID, with lookup
+ * into NXM_NX_REG1[16:31]:
+ *
+ * Match on same VLAN ID as packet:
+ * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=12), 00 0c
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 08 02 00 00
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 08 02 00 00
+ *
+ * Match Ethernet destination on Ethernet source from packet:
+ * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=0, n_bits=48), 00 30
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_SRC), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 04 06 00 00
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_ETH_DST), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 02 06 00 00
+ *
+ * Output to the packet's input port:
+ * ovs_be16(src=0, dst=2, n_bits=16), 10 10
+ * ovs_be32(NXM_OF_IN_PORT), ovs_be16(0) 00 00 00 02 00 00
+ *
+ * Given a packet that arrived on port A with Ethernet source address B in
+ * VLAN C, this would set up the flow "dl_dst=B, vlan_vid=C,
+ * actions=output:A".
+ *
+ * In syntax accepted by ovs-ofctl, this action is:
+ * learn(NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[],
+ * output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[])
+ *
+ * 3. Here's a recipe for a very simple-minded MAC learning switch. It uses a
+ * 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier to see what's going on
+ *
+ * ovs-vsctl del-controller br0
+ * ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
+ * ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0 actions=learn(table=1, \
+ hard_timeout=10, NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], \
+ NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[], \
+ output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]), resubmit(,1)"
+ * ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=1 priority=0 actions=flood"
+ *
+ * You can then dump the MAC learning table with:
+ *
+ * ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 table=1
+ *
+ * Usage Advice
+ * ------------
+ *
+ * For best performance, segregate learned flows into a table that is not used
+ * for any other flows except possibly for a lowest-priority "catch-all" flow
+ * (a flow with no match criteria). If different learning actions specify
+ * different match criteria, use different tables for the learned flows.
+ *
+ * The meaning of 'hard_timeout' and 'idle_timeout' can be counterintuitive.
+ * These timeouts apply to the flow that is added, which means that a flow with
+ * an idle timeout will expire when no traffic has been sent *to* the learned
+ * address. This is not usually the intent in MAC learning; instead, we want
+ * the MAC learn entry to expire when no traffic has been sent *from* the
+ * learned address. Use a hard timeout for that.

+ * slave. If the switch does not support the specified 'algorithm' parameter,
+ * it should reject the action.
+ *
+ * Several algorithms take into account liveness when selecting slaves. The
+ * liveness of a slave is implementation defined (with one exception), but will
+ * generally take into account things like its carrier status and the results
+ * of any link monitoring protocols which happen to be running on it. In order
+ * to give controllers a place-holder value, the OFPP_NONE port is always
+ * considered live.
+ *
+ * Some slave selection strategies require the use of a hash function, in which
+ * case the 'fields' and 'basis' parameters should be populated. The 'fields'
+ * parameter (one of NX_HASH_FIELDS_*) designates which parts of the flow to
+ * hash. Refer to the definition of "enum nx_hash_fields" for details. The
+ * 'basis' parameter is used as a universal hash parameter. Different values
+ * of 'basis' yield different hash results.
+ *
+ * The 'zero' parameter at the end of the action structure is reserved for
+ * future use. Switches are required to reject actions which have nonzero
+ * bytes in the 'zero' field.
+ *
+ * NXAST_BUNDLE actions should have 'ofs_nbits' and 'dst' zeroed. Switches
+ * should reject actions which have nonzero bytes in either of these fields.
+ *
+ * NXAST_BUNDLE_LOAD stores the OpenFlow port number of the selected slave in

+ *
+ * OpenFlow 1.0 has "struct ofp_match" for specifying flow matches. This
+ * structure is fixed-length and hence difficult to extend. This section
+ * describes a more flexible, variable-length flow match, called "nx_match" for
+ * short, that is also supported by Open vSwitch. This section also defines a
+ * replacement for each OpenFlow message that includes struct ofp_match.
+ *
+ *
+ * Format
+ * ======
+ *
+ * An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
+ * type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
+ * "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary. The
+ * first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
+ * "body".
+ *
+ * An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
+ *
+ * |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
+ * | |
+ * |31 16 15 9| 8 7 0
+ * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
+ * | nxm_vendor | nxm_field |hm| nxm_length |
+ * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
+ *
+ * The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
+ * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of the NXM_VENDOR_* values below. Bits
+ * 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value. nxm_type normally
+ * designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it can also
+ * refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet arrived.
+ *
+ * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons). The meaning
+ * of this bit is explained later.
+ *
+ * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer. The
+ * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
+ * bytes.
+ *
+ * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
+ * constant. It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
+ * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types. (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
+ * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
+ *
+ *
+ * Semantics
+ * =========
+ *
+ * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
+ *
+ * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
+ *
+ * - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
+ * field, called "nxm_value". The nx_match matches only packets in which
+ * the field equals nxm_value.
+ *
+ * - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
+ * field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
+ * value, called "nxm_mask". For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
+ * nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
+ * matches bit J in nxm_value. A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
+ * corresponding bits in nxm_value and the field's value to be ignored.
+ * (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by the
+ * "wildcards" member of struct ofp_match.)
+ *
+ * When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
+ *
+ * An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
+ * entirely. An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
+ * nxm_hasmask.
+ *
+ * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
+ *
+ *
+ * Mask Restrictions
+ * =================
+ *
+ * Masks may be restricted:
+ *
+ * - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
+ * must always be 0 when these fields are specified. For example, the
+ * field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
+ * masked.
+ *
+ * - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
+ * nxm_mask patterns. For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
+ * may be restricted to CIDR masks.
+ *
+ * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
+ * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
+ * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
+ * or nxm_mask value. A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
+ * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
+ *
+ *
+ * Prerequisite Restrictions
+ * =========================
+ *
+ * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
+ * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s. For example:
+ *
+ * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
+ * preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
+ * and nxm_value=0x0800. That is, matching on the IP source address is
+ * allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
+ *
+ * - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
+ * preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
+ * nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
+ * nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
+ * That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
+ * type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
+ *
+ * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
+ * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions. A switch
+ * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
+ *
+ *
+ * Ordering Restrictions
+ * =====================
+ *
+ * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
+ * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites. Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
+ * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
+ *
+ * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
+ *
+ *
+ * nxm_entry Examples
+ * ==================
+ *
+ * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
+ * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values. The diagrams are labeled with field
+ * numbers and byte indexes.
+ *
+ *
+ * 8-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=1, nxm_length=2:
+ *
+ * 0 3 4 5
+ * +------------+---+---+
+ * | header | v | m |
+ * +------------+---+---+

+ * | header | value|

+ * +------------+------------------+------------------+
+ * | header | nxm_value | nxm_mask |
+ * +------------+------------------+------------------+
+ *
+ *
+ * Error Reporting
+ * ===============
+ *
+ * A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
+ * OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes. Ideally the switch
+ * should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular
+ * problem, but NXBRC_NXM_INVALID is also available to report a generic
+ * nx_match error.
