bond: Only drop packets that indicate moves on SLB bonds.

SLB bonds, for important reasons, drop most incoming packets that indicate
that a MAC has moved to the bond from another port.  These reasons do not
apply to other types of bonds, but until now OVS has still dropped them.

This fixes the problem.  It changes behavior of active-backup bonds and

Ben Pfaff [Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:15:14 +0000 (09:15 -0700)]
ovsdb-idl: Prevent occasional hang when multiple database clients race.

When a client of the IDL tries to commit a read-modify-write transaction
but the database has changed in the meantime, the IDL tells its client to
wait for the IDL to change and then try the transaction again by returning
TXN_TRY_AGAIN.  The "wait for the IDL to change" part is important because
there's no point in retrying the transaction before the IDL has received
the database updates (the transaction would fail in the same way all over
again).

However, the logic was incomplete: the database update can be received
*before* the reply to the transaction RPC (I think that in the current
ovsdb-server implementation this will always happen, in fact).  When this
happens, the right thing to do is to retry the transaction immediately;
if we wait, then we're waiting for an additional change to the database
that may never come, causing an indefinite hang.

This commit therefore breaks the "try again" IDL commit status code
into two, one that means "try again immediately" and another that means
"wait for a change then try again".  When an update is processed after a
transaction is committed but before the reply is received, the "try again
now" tells the IDL client not to wait for another database change before
retrying its transaction.

Commit 7257b535ab "Implement new fragment handling policy." moved around

to ctx->flow.tp_src and .tp_dst would not have to also assign to
ctx->base_flow.tp_src and .tp_dst.  However, this meant that the early-exit

Ben Pfaff [Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:33:44 +0000 (21:33 -0700)]
Implement new fragment handling policy.

Until now, OVS has handled IP fragments more awkwardly than necessary.  It
has not been possible to match on L4 headers, even in fragments with offset
0 where they are actually present.  This means that there was no way to
implement ACLs that treat, say, different TCP ports differently, on
fragmented traffic; instead, all decisions for fragment forwarding had to
be made on the basis of L2 and L3 headers alone.

This commit improves the situation significantly.  It is still not possible
to match on L4 headers in fragments with nonzero offset, because that
information is simply not present in such fragments, but this commit adds
the ability to match on L4 headers for fragments with zero offset.  This
means that it becomes possible to implement ACLs that drop such "first
fragments" on the basis of L4 headers.  In practice, that effectively
blocks even fragmented traffic on an L4 basis, because the receiving IP
stack cannot reassemble a full packet when the first fragment is missing.

This commit works by adding a new "fragment type" to the kernel flow match
and making it available through OpenFlow as a new NXM field named
NXM_NX_IP_FRAG.  Because OpenFlow 1.0 explicitly says that the L4 fields
are always 0 for IP fragments, it adds a new OpenFlow fragment handling
mode that fills in the L4 fields for "first fragments".  It also enhances
ovs-ofctl to allow users to configure this new fragment handling mode and
to parse the new field.

dpif-linux: Fix build with certain 64-bit kernel/userspace combinations.

Unix 64-bit ABIs have two 64-bit types: "long" and "long long".  Either of
these is a reasonable choice for uint64_t (the userspace type) and for
__u64 (the kernel type).  Unfortunately, kernel and userspace don't
necessarily agree on the choice, and in fact the choice varies across
kernel versions and architectures.

Now that OVS is actually using kernel types in its kernel header, this
can make a difference: when __u64 and uint64_t differ, passing a pointer
to __u64 to OVS function get_unaligned_u64() yields a compiler warning
or error.

This commit fixes up the problems of this type found in OVS, by making
get_unaligned_u64() accept all 64-bit unsigned integer types, not just
whichever one happens to be uint64_t.  I didn't do the same thing for
put_unaligned_u64() because it is less likely to be a problem in
practice: usually, when userspace writes to kernel data structures it
does so with copies that it knows to be aligned, so that it's not
necessary to use put_unaligned_u64().

This problem won't occur for uint8_t, uint16_t, or uint32_t, since there is
only one reasonable choice of type for each.  It won't occur for ovs_be<N>
because OVS always defines those as aliases for the kernel's __be<N> types
when those are available.

This compiled cleanly for me in Scientific Linux 6.0 x86-64.

ofproto-dpif: Avoid bad pointer dereference in execute_odp_actions().

execute_odp_actions() can be passed a zero-length set of actions, in which
case it may not dereference its 'odp_actions' parameter at all, but in fact
it did do so.  In at least one corner case, odp_actions can be NULL, so
that this caused a segfault.

Introduced in commit 98403001ec "datapath: Move Netlink PID for userspace
actions from flows to actions."

12 years agodatapath-protocol: Use Linux kernel types directly.
Ben Pfaff [Wed, 5 Oct 2011 17:42:34 +0000 (10:42 -0700)]
datapath-protocol: Use Linux kernel types directly.

We want datapath-protocol.h to be acceptable as a Linux kernel header, so
it must use Linux kernel types and must not have references to Open vSwitch
symbols or header files.  This commit primarily makes that change to
datapath-protocol.h.

At the same time, at least for now we also want datapath-protocol.h to be
usable on non-Linux platforms, so we need some kind of compatiblity.  Thus,
this commit also introduces a <linux/types.h> header file that defines the
necessary Linux kernel types on non-Linux platforms.

In turn, this requires openvswitch/types.h to use the Linux types directly
for ovs_be<N>; otherwise, sparse complains because now __be<N> and
ovs_be<N> are incompatible from its perspective, so this commit makes that
change too.

I don't have a non-Linux kernel platform readily available, so I only
tested the non-Linux part of the linux/types.h substitute by forcing that
case to be triggered with #if 0.  It worked, except for errors in actual
Linux kernel headers included explicitly from OVS source files, so I think
it's likely to work in practice.

Commit b063d9f06 "datapath: Use unicast Netlink sockets for upcalls" that
switched from multicast to unicast Netlink for sending upcalls added a
Netlink PID to each kernel flow, used by OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE actions
within the flow as target.

This commit drops this per-flow PID in favor of a per-action PID, because
that is more flexible.  It does not yet make use of this additional
flexibility, so behavior should not change.
