<content type='text'>
When we destroy the flow tables which may contain the flow_mask,
so release the flow mask struct.

<title>net: openvswitch: optimize flow-mask looking up</title>

<id>urn:sha1:57f7d7b9164426c496300d254fd5167fbbf205ea</id>
<content type='text'>
The full looking up on flow table traverses all mask array.
If mask-array is too large, the number of invalid flow-mask
increase, performance will be drop.

One bad case, for example: M means flow-mask is valid and NULL
of flow-mask means deleted.

+-------------------------------------------+
| M | NULL | ...                  | NULL | M|
+-------------------------------------------+

In that case, without this patch, openvswitch will traverses all
mask array, because there will be one flow-mask in the tail. This
patch changes the way of flow-mask inserting and deleting, and the
mask array will be keep as below: there is not a NULL hole. In the
fast path, we can "break" "for" (not "continue") in flow_lookup
when we get a NULL flow-mask.

         "break"
            v
+-------------------------------------------+
| M | M |  NULL |...           | NULL | NULL|
+-------------------------------------------+

This patch don't optimize slow or control path, still using ma-&gt;max
to traverse. Slow path:
* tbl_mask_array_realloc
* ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_exact
* flow_mask_find

Port the codes to linux upstream and with little changes.

Pravin B Shelar, says:
| In case hash collision on mask cache, OVS does extra flow
| lookup. Following patch avoid it.

When creating and inserting flow-mask, if there is no available
flow-mask, we realloc the mask array. When removing flow-mask,
if necessary, we shrink mask array.

Pravin B Shelar, says:
| mask caches index of mask in mask_list. On packet recv OVS
| need to traverse mask-list to get cached mask. Therefore array
| is better for retrieving cached mask. This also allows better
| cache replacement algorithm by directly checking mask's existence.

<content type='text'>
The idea of this optimization comes from a patch which
is committed in 2014, openvswitch community. The author
is Pravin B Shelar. In order to get high performance, I
implement it again. Later patches will use it.

Pravin B Shelar, says:
| On every packet OVS needs to lookup flow-table with every
| mask until it finds a match. The packet flow-key is first
| masked with mask in the list and then the masked key is
| looked up in flow-table. Therefore number of masks can
| affect packet processing performance.

<title>net: openvswitch: rename flow_stats to sw_flow_stats</title>

<id>urn:sha1:aef833c58d321f09ae4ce4467723542842ba9faf</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a flow_stats structure defined in include/net/flow_offload.h
and a follow up patch adds #include &lt;net/flow_offload.h&gt; to
net/sch_generic.h.

This breaks compilation since OVS codebase includes net/sock.h which
pulls in linux/filter.h which includes net/sch_generic.h.

In file included from ./include/net/sch_generic.h:18:0,
                 from ./include/linux/filter.h:25,
                 from ./include/net/sock.h:59,
                 from ./include/linux/tcp.h:19,
                 from net/openvswitch/datapath.c:24

This definition takes precedence on OVS since it is placed in the
networking core, so rename flow_stats in OVS to sw_flow_stats since
this structure is contained in sw_flow.
