netdev: Decouple creating and configuring network devices.

Until now, each call to netdev_open() for a particular network device
had to either specify a set of network device arguments that was either
empty or (for devices that already existed) equal to the existing device's
configuration.  Unfortunately, the definition of "equality" in the latter
case was mostly done in terms of strict equality of string-to-string maps,
which caused problems in cases where, for example, one set of arguments
specified the default value of an optional argument explicitly and the
other omitted it.

The netdev interface does have provisions for defining equality other ways,
but this had only been done in one case that was especially problematic in
practice.  One way to solve this particular problem would be to carefully
define equality in all the problematic cases.

This commit takes another approach based on the realization that there is
really no need to do any comparisons.  Instead, it removes configuration
at netdev_open() time entirely, because almost all of netdev_open()'s
callers are not interested in creating and configuring a netdev.  Most of
them just want to open a configured device and use it.  Therefore, this
commit stops providing any configuration arguments to netdev_open() and the
provider functions that it calls.  Instead, a caller that does want to
configure a device does so after it opens it, by calling
netdev_set_config().

This change allows us to simplify the netdev interface a bit.  There is no
longer any need to implement argument comparisons.  As a result, there is
also no need for "struct netdev_dev" to keep track of configuration at all.
Instead, the network devices that have configuration keep track of it in
their own internal form.

This new interface does mean that it becomes possible to accidentally
create and try to use an unconfigured netdev that requires configuration.

The Open vSwitch tree only has one user of the ability for a netdev to

The only user of netdev_listen() wants to receive all packets from a

ovsdb: Correct specification inconsistency between "lock" and "assert".

The "lock" request requires the lock name to be an <id> but it is shown as
<string> in the "assert" operation.  This corrects the "assert"
specification and fixes the suggested naming convention (since ":" is not
valid in an <id>).

This commit also updates the implementation to match the specification.

ofp-util: Rewrite action decoding to improve compiler warnings.

The previous implementation of ofputil_decode_action() had two weaknesses.
First, the action lengths in its tables were written as literal integers
instead of using "sizeof".  Second, it used arrays for tables instead of
switch statements, which meant that GCC didn't warn when someone added a
new action type but forgot to add an entry to the tables.

This rewrite fixes both of those problems.

12 years agoDocument and warn that mirroring to a VLAN is incompatible with SLB bonding.

Document and warn that mirroring to a VLAN is incompatible with SLB bonding.

vswitchd/INTERNALS explains the incompatibility:

   2. When Open vSwitch forwards a multicast or broadcast packet to a
      link in the SLB bond other than the active slave, the remote
      switch will forward it to all of the other links in the SLB
      bond, including the active slave.  Without special handling,
      this would mean that Open vSwitch would forward a second copy of
      the packet to each switch port (other than the bond), including
      the port that originated the packet.

      Open vSwitch deals with this case by dropping packets received
      on any SLB bonded link that have a source MAC+VLAN that has been
      learned on any other port.  (This means that SLB as implemented
      in Open vSwitch relies critically on MAC learning.  Notably, SLB
      is incompatible with the "flood_vlans" feature.)

We could go farther than this and automatically change the bonding mode to
a safer one (e.g. active-backup) when flood_vlans are enabled.  However,
that would still leave the SLB fallback for LACP modes in place; perhaps
active-backup would have to be the fallback for LACP modes when flood_vlans
are enabled.
