OpenFlow switching monitoring and controller coordination can be made more
efficient if the switch can notify a controller of flow table changes as
they occur, rather than periodically polling for changes.  This commit

ofproto: Represent flow cookie changes as operations too.

An upcoming commit will add support for monitoring changes to the flow
table.  This feature wants to be able to report changes to flow cookies,
as well as to other properties of a flow.  Until now, however, a flow_mod
that modifies only the flow's cookie is treated as a special case that does
not go through the ofoperation mechanism.  That makes it harder to report
flow cookie-only changes (it would require an additional special case in
the reporting mechanism) so this commit changes cookie-only changes to
go through ofoperations.

The bulk of this change is to change the meaning of ofoperation's 'ofpacts'
member so that a NULL value indicates that the flow's actions are not
changing.  Otherwise a flow-cookie only change would still require copying
and then freeing all the actions, which seems like a waste.

own changes to the flow table can be abbreviated to a summary, since the
controller presumably knows what it has already sent to the switch.
However, the summary only makes sense if a set of flow table changes
completely succeeds or completely fails.  If it partially fails, the
switch must not attempt to summarize it, because the controller needs
to know the details.  Given that, we have to wait for all of the
operations in an ofgroup to either succeed or fail before the switch
can send its flow table update report to the controllers.  This

bond: Sending learning packets on active-backup.

Suppose we have an active bond with two ports, eth1 and eth2,
attached to a standard L2 learning switch which does not know it's
participating in a bond (i.e. isn't running LACP).  Suppose eth1 is
active and therefore the L2 learning switch is forwarding traffic
to eth1 as instructed by its learning table.  Now suppose, for some
reason, OVS fails over from eth1 to eth2.  For each destination
MAC, the L2 learning switch will continue sending traffic to eth1,
which will be dropped, until either traffic from that MAC appears
on eth2, or the learning table entries expire.

To alleviate this issue, this patch sends learning packets on newly
active interfaces in active-backup bonds in order to educate the
upstream network of the change.

11 years agoIntroduce ofpacts, an abstraction of OpenFlow actions.
Ben Pfaff [Wed, 4 Jul 2012 05:17:14 +0000 (22:17 -0700)]
Introduce ofpacts, an abstraction of OpenFlow actions.

OpenFlow actions have always been somewhat awkward to handle.
Moreover, over time we've started creating actions that require more
complicated parsing.  When we maintain those actions internally in
their wire format, we end up parsing them multiple times, whenever
we have to look at the set of actions.

When we add support for OpenFlow 1.1 or later protocols, the situation
will get worse, because these newer protocols support many of the same
actions but with different representations.  It becomes unrealistic to
handle each protocol in its wire format.

This commit adopts a new strategy, by converting OpenFlow actions into
an internal form from the wire format when they are read, and converting
them back to the wire format when flows are dumped.  I believe that this
will be more maintainable over time.

ofproto-dpif-governor: Improve performance when most flows get set up.

The "flow setup governor" was introduced to avoid the cost of setting up
short flows when there are many of them.  It works very well for short
flows, in fact.  However, when the bulk of flows are short, but still long
enough to be set up by the governor, we end up with the worst of both
worlds: OVS processes the first 5 packets of every flow "by hand" and then
it still has to set up a flow.

This commit refines the flow setup governor so that, when most of the flows
that go through it actually get set up, it in turn starts setting up most
flows at the first packet.  When it does this, it continues to sample a
small fraction of the flows in the governor's usual manner, so that if the
behavior changes it can react to it.

This increases netperf TCP_CRR transactions per second by about 25% in my
test setup, without affecting "ovs-benchmark rate" performance.

of whether Open vSwitch or any kind of bridging was involved, I had to pin
the netperf processes on each side of the link to a single core.  I found

dpif-linux: Zero 'stats' outputs of dpif_operate() ops on failure.

When DPIF_OP_FLOW_PUT or DPIF_OP_FLOW_DEL operations failed, they left
their 'stats' outputs uninitialized.  For DPIF_OP_FLOW_DEL, this meant that
the caller would read indeterminate data:

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

It's unusual for a delete operation to fail.  The most common reason is an
administrator running "ovs-dpctl del-flows".

The only user of DPIF_OP_FLOW_PUT did not request stats, so this doesn't
fix an actual bug for that case.

ovs-bugtool: Avoid running ethtool on non-physical devices.

There can be possibilities where there are hundreds of OVS
internal devices. In such a situation, running ovs-bugtool
can take a very long time to complete as multiple ethtool
commands are run on each interface in /sys/class/net. Once
the ovs-bugtool completes, most of the ethtool command outputs
would be incomplete with "timeouts" as we only give 30 seconds
for CAP_NETWORK_STATUS.

With the following patch, we only run ethtools on those interfaces
that have an associated "device". All physical interfaces have
this entry in /sys/class/net/${interface_name}/. Virtual interfaces
can have this entry too, if it has an underlying virtual device.
