net: Introduce possible_net_t

2015-03-12T18:39:40Z

Having to say > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone. Instead it is possible to say: > typedef struct { > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif > } possible_net_t; And then in a header say: > possible_net_t net; Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options. Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all cases which is better at catching typos. This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

openvswitch: Add support for OVS_FLOW_ATTR_PROBE.

2014-11-10T02:58:44Z

This new flag is useful for suppressing error logging while probing for datapath features using flow commands. For backwards compatibility reasons the commands are executed normally, but error logging is suppressed. Signed-off-by: Jarno Rajahalme Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Constify various function arguments

2014-11-10T02:58:44Z

Help produce better optimized code. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Remove redundant key ref from upcall_info.

2014-11-10T02:58:44Z

struct dp_upcall_info has pointer to pkt_key which is already available in OVS_CB. This also simplifies upcall handling for gso packet. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar Acked-by: Andy Zhou

openvswitch: Extend packet attribute for egress tunnel info

2014-11-10T02:58:44Z

OVS vswitch has extended IPFIX exporter to export tunnel headers to improve network visibility. To export this information userspace needs to know egress tunnel for given packet. By extending packet attributes datapath can export egress tunnel info for given packet. So that userspace can ask for egress tunnel info in userspace action. This information is used to build IPFIX data for given flow. Signed-off-by: Wenyu Zhang Acked-by: Romain Lenglet Acked-by: Ben Pfaff Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Remove flow member from struct ovs_skb_cb

2014-11-06T07:52:35Z

The 'flow' memeber was chosen for removal because it's only used in ovs_execute_actions() we can pass it as argument to this function. Signed-off-by: Lorand Jakab Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar

openvswitch: Wrap struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel in a new structure.

2014-10-06T04:32:20Z

Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However, as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable, as in the case of pointers. This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.

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
