openvswitch: Convert dp rcu read operation to locked operations

2014-11-14T23:13:26Z

dp read operations depends on ovs_dp_cmd_fill_info(). This API needs to looup vport to find dp name, but vport lookup can fail. Therefore to keep vport reference alive we need to take ovs lock. Introduced by commit 6093ae9abac1 ("openvswitch: Minimize dp and vport critical sections"). Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Acked-by: Andy Zhou

net: make skb_gso_segment error handling more robust

2014-10-20T16:38:13Z

skb_gso_segment has three possible return values: 1. a pointer to the first segmented skb 2. an errno value (IS_ERR()) 3. NULL. This can happen when GSO is used for header verification. However, several callers currently test IS_ERR instead of IS_ERR_OR_NULL and would oops when NULL is returned. Note that these call sites should never actually see such a NULL return value; all callers mask out the GSO bits in the feature argument. However, there have been issues with some protocol handlers erronously not respecting the specified feature mask in some cases. It is preferable to get 'have to turn off hw offloading, else slow' reports rather than 'kernel crashes'. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

openvswitch: Add support for Geneve tunneling.

2014-10-06T04:32:21Z

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options that are in use and can handle newly defined options without further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

openvswitch: Factor out allocation and verification of actions.

2014-10-06T04:32:20Z

As the size of the flow key grows, it can put some pressure on the stack. This is particularly true in ovs_flow_cmd_set(), which needs several copies of the key on the stack. One of those uses is logically separate, so this factors it out to reduce stack pressure and improve readibility.

openvswitch: Add support for matching on OAM packets.

2014-10-06T04:32:20Z

Some tunnel formats have mechanisms for indicating that packets are OAM frames that should be handled specially (either as high priority or not forwarded beyond an endpoint). This provides support for allowing those types of packets to be matched. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross Signed-off-by: Andy Zhou Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

openvswitch: restore OVS_FLOW_CMD_NEW notifications

2014-09-19T21:28:26Z

Since commit fb5d1e9e127a ("openvswitch: Build flow cmd netlink reply only if needed."), the new flows are not notified to the listeners of OVS_FLOW_MCGROUP. This commit fixes the problem by using the genl function, ie genl_has_listerners() instead of netlink_has_listeners().

openvswitch: Add recirc and hash action.

2014-09-16T06:28:14Z

Recirc action allows a packet to reenter openvswitch processing. currently openvswitch lookup flow for packet received and execute set of actions on that packet, with help of recirc action we can process/modify the packet and recirculate it back in openvswitch for another pass. OVS hash action calculates 5-tupple hash and set hash in flow-key hash. This can be used along with recirculation for distributing packets among different ports for bond devices. For example: OVS bonding can use following actions: Match on: bond flow; Action: hash, recirc(id) Match on: recirc-id == id and hash lower bits == a; Action: output port_bond_a Signed-off-by: Andy Zhou Acked-by: Jesse Gross Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Use tun_key only for egress tunnel path.

2014-09-16T06:28:13Z

Currently tun_key is used for passing tunnel information on ingress and egress path, this cause confusion. Following patch removes its use on ingress path make it egress only parameter. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Acked-by: Andy Zhou

openvswitch: refactor ovs flow extract API.

2014-09-16T06:28:13Z

OVS flow extract is called on packet receive or packet execute code path. Following patch defines separate API for extracting flow-key in packet execute code path. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Acked-by: Andy Zhou
