ofproto: Move rule_execute() out of ofopgroup_complete().

One goal we're moving toward is to be able to execute "learn" actions
in each thread that handles packets that arrive on an interface just before
we forward those packets.  The planned strategy there is to have a global
lock that protects everything required to modify the flow table.  Generally
this works out well, but rule_execute() is a trouble spot.  That's because
it's called during a flow table modification (when that global lock is
held) which means that a "learn" action triggered by the executing the
packet would try to recursively modify the flow table and reacquire the
global lock.

I can see two ways out of this issue.  One would be to make the global lock
a recursive one, or otherwise deal with handling recursive flow_mods.  The
other is to just queue up flow_mods due to rule_execute(), which itself is
a corner case (it only happens when a flow_mod sent via OpenFlow includes
a buffer_id).  (I guess there could be other more radical solutions, like
just dropping packets that contain "learn" actions if they occur in this
situation.)

This commit implements the second solution because it seems less likely to
be wrong in a way that crashes the switch.

guarded-list: New data structure for thread-safe queue.

We already had queues that were suitable for replacement by this data
structure, and I intend to add another one later on.

flow_miss_batch_ofproto_destroyed() did not work well with the guarded-list
structure (it required either adding a lot more functions or breaking the
abstraction) so I changed the caller to just use udpif_revalidate().

Checking reval_seq at the end of handle_miss_upcalls() also didn't work
well with the abstraction, so I decided that since this was a corner case
anyway it would be acceptable to just drop those in flow_miss_batch_next().

10 years agoofproto: Add a ref_count to "struct rule" to protect it from being freed.
Ben Pfaff [Thu, 12 Sep 2013 06:23:00 +0000 (23:23 -0700)]
ofproto: Add a ref_count to "struct rule" to protect it from being freed.

Taking a read-lock on the 'rwlock' member of struct rule prevents members
of the rule from changing.  This is a short-term use of the 'rwlock': one
takes the lock, reads some members, and releases the lock.

Taking a read-lock on the 'rwlock' also prevents the rule from being freed.
This is often a relatively long-term need.  For example, until now flow
translation has held the rwlock in xlate_table_action() across the entire
recursive translation, which can call into a great deal of different code
across multiple files.

This commit switches to using a reference count for this second purpose
of struct rule's rwlock.  This means that all the code that previously
held a read-lock on the rwlock across deep stacks of functions can now
simply keep a reference.

openflow-1.1+: OFPT_TABLE_MOD (part 1)

Added infrastructure to support Openflow OFPT_TABLE_MOD message. This patch
does not include the flexible table miss handling code that is necessary to
support the semantics specified in OFPT_TABLE_MOD messages.

Current flow miss behavior continues to conform to Openflow 1.0.  Future

ofproto-dpif: Destroy facets on ofproto removal.

Facets maintain a pointer to their owning ofproto-dpif, and therefore
when an ofproto-dpif is destroyed all of their child facets should be
destroyed along with it.  If they aren't, it's possible a subfacet
looked up in the dpif-backer could access it's parent facet and
therefore a defunct parent ofproto causing a segmentation fault.

ofproto: Avoid removing rules from meter lists twice.

Since the meter code was introduced, the oftable_remove_rule() function
(recently renamed oftable_remove_rule__()) has had two blocks of code to
remove a rule from its meter's list of rules that reference that meter.
This commit reduces that to one.

Also modifies oftable_remove_rule__() to maintain the invariant that
'rule' is in a meter's list if and only if
!list_is_empty(&rule->meter_list_node).  I don't believe that that fixes
a real bug, but it seems like a good idea.

(This seemed like a serious bug at first, but in fact list_remove() is
idempotent: calling it two times in a row has the same effect as calling
it once.)

packets: Do not assume that IPv4, TCP, or ARP headers are 32-bit aligned.

Ethernet headers are 14 bytes long, so when the beginning of such a header
is 32-bit aligned, the following data is misaligned.  The usual trick to
fix that is to start the Ethernet header on an odd-numbered 16-bit
boundary.  That trick works OK for Open vSwitch, but there are two
problems:

   - OVS doesn't use that trick everywhere.  Maybe it should, but it's
     difficult to make sure that it does consistently because the CPUs
     most commonly used with OVS don't care about misalignment, so we
     only find problems when porting.

   - Some protocols (GRE, VXLAN) don't use that trick, so in such a case
     one can properly align the inner or outer L3/L4/L7 but not both.  (OVS
     userspace doesn't directly deal with such protocols yet, so this is
     just future-proofing.)

   - OpenFlow uses the alignment trick in a few places but not all of them.

This commit starts the adoption of what I hope will be a more robust way
to avoid misalignment problems and the resulting bus errors on RISC
architectures.  Instead of trying to ensure that 32-bit quantities are
always aligned, we always read them as if they were misaligned.  To ensure
that they are read this way, we change their types from 32-bit types to
pairs of 16-bit types.  (I don't know of any protocols that offset the
next header by an odd number of bytes, so a 16-bit alignment assumption
seems OK.)

The same would be necessary for 64-bit types in protocol headers, but we
don't yet have any protocol definitions with 64-bit types.

IPv6 protocol headers need the same treatment, but for those we rely on
structs provided by system headers, so I'll leave them for an upcoming
patch.
