netdev-vport: Checks tunnel status change when route-table is reset.

Commit 3e912ffcbb (netdev: Add 'change_seq' back to netdev.) added per-
netdev change number for indicating status change.  Future commits used
this change number to optimize the netdev status update to database.
However, the work also introduced the bug in the following scenario:

- assume interface eth0 has address 1.2.3.4, eth1 has adddress 10.0.0.1.
- assume tunnel port p1 is set with remote_ip=10.0.0.5.
- after setup, 'ovs-vsctl list interface p1 status' should show the
  'tunnel_egress_iface="eth1"'.
- now if the address of eth1 is change to 0 via 'ifconfig eth1 0'.
- expectedly, after change, 'ovs-vsctl list interface p1 status' should
  show the 'tunnel_egress_iface="eth0"'

However, 'tunnel_egress_iface' will not be updated on current master.
This is in that, the 'netdev-vport' module corresponding to p1 does
not react to routing related changes.

To fix the bug, this commit adds a change sequence number in the route-
table module and makes netdev-vport check the sequence number for
tunnel status update.

ofproto-dpif-monitor: Fix deadlock.

Commit 6b59b543 (ovs-thread: Use fair (but nonrecursive)
rwlocks on glibc.) changed the rwlocks to nonrecursive,
writer-biased lock.  It also made the following deadlock
possible.

Assume BFD is used on both end of a link.  Consider the
following events:
1. Handler at one end received the BFD control packet with
   POLL flag set while holding the read lock of 'xlate_rwlock'.
   Since a BFD control packet with FINAL flag set should be
   sent back immediately, it calls the
   ofproto_dpif_monitor_port_send_soon(), in which, it tries
   to grab the 'monitor_mutex'.
2. The main thread needs to configure the ofproto-dpif-xlate
   module.  It tries to grab the write lock of 'xlate_rwlock'
   and is blocked by event 1.
3. The monitor thread, after acquired the 'monitor_mutex',
   wants to acquire the read lock of 'xlate_rwlock'.

Since the rwlock is now writer-biased, the attempt of acquiring
read lock in event 3 will be blocked by event 2.  This will
subsequently cause the block of event 1, since monitor thread
is holding the 'monitor_mutex'.  So the deadlock happens.

This commit resolves the above issue by removing the requirement of
acquiring 'monitor_mutex' in ofproto_dpif_monitor_port_send_soon().

for ovsrcu_quiesce_end() to record the current thread's name.
ovsrcu_quiesce_end() is called before the thread function is called, so it

revalidate_ukey() had a bug where it would update the ukey->stats even

only be updated when those stats are pushed.

* The flow needs to be revalidated.
* The flow is low-throughput.

revalidator: Prevent handling the same flow twice.

When the datapath flow table is modified while a flow dump operation is
in progress, it is possible for the same flow to be dumped twice. In
such cases, revalidators may perform redundant work, or attempt to
delete the same flow twice.

This was causing intermittent testsuite failures for test #670 -
"ofproto-dpif, active-backup bonding" where a flow (that had not
previously been dumped) was dumped, revalidated and deleted twice.

The logs show errors such as:
"failed to flow_get (No such file or directory) skb_priority(0),..."
"failed to flow_del (No such file or directory) skb_priority(0),..."

This patch adds a 'flow_exists' field to 'struct udpif_key' to track
whether the flow is (in progress) to be deleted. After doing a ukey
lookup, we check whether ukey->mark or ukey->flow indicates that the
flow has already been handled. If it has already been handled, we skip
handling the flow again.

We also defer ukey cleanup for flows that fail revalidation, so that the
ukey will still exist if the same flow is dumped twice. This allows the
above logic to work in this case.

Simon Horman [Wed, 23 Apr 2014 05:06:12 +0000 (14:06 +0900)]
run-ryu: Use unix socket rather than patch ports

My understanding of the implementation of patch ports is that they
are rather special, being handled as a special case inside
compose_output_action__() and do not exist in the datapath.

A side effect of the implementation of patch ports (though perhaps not the
portion mentioned above) is that the OFPUTIL_PC_PORT_DOWN bit may not be
set via a port mod message. In particular, the call to
netdev_turn_flags_on() in update_port_config() fails.

There is a test provided by Ryu that test this via port mod and thus fails.

While that test could be modified or the results ignored it seems to me
that it would be best if ryu-check used ports which were more fully
featured and not special cases.

Thus this patch moves run-ryu to use unix socket backed ports rather than
patch ports.

I believe a more significant problem with the use of patch ports
is that they will require (more) special case code in order to correctly
handle recirculation. As Ryu provides many tests that exercise
recirculation for MPLS it would be nice if they could be used to exercise
recirculation for MPLS (which I have provided patches for separately[1])
without the need to add more special-case code for that purpose.

I believe that patch ports are also incompatible with recirculation for
bonding, which has already been merged, though I have not verified that
and it is not strictly related to this patch as I do not believe that Ryu
provides any tests to exercise that case.

The key problem with patch ports in the context of recirculation is that
the ofproto and in_port may change during translation.  And this
information is lost by the time that execution occurs.

Furthermore the new in_port will not exist in the datapath as it is a
patch port. That particular problem may be addressed by executing the
actions in user-space, I have posted patches to provide infrastructure
for that[1].

Overall it is not clear to me that the complexity of supporting
recirculation for patch-ports would have sufficient pay-off.

daemon-windows: Recognize --no-chdir option for windows.

The option won't have any effect on the running of the daemon.
Recognizing the option lets us avoid if else conditions in unit
tests.

9 years agotestsuite.at: Workaround for carriage returns on windows.
Gurucharan Shetty [Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:00:46 +0000 (09:00 -0700)]
testsuite.at: Workaround for carriage returns on windows.

In unit tests, we compare text written in logs or stdout/stderr
to figure out the success or failure of tests. In Windows,
since new line is represented by CR+LF, autoconf tests run in
MinGW environment fail.

Asking diff to ignore trailing carriage returns is one way
to solve the problem
