Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of
conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace.
For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace,
they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries
for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max. In this
case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries,
it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the
conntrack table. Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network
namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid
that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack
entries.
To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a
fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries
per-zone. For example, we can designate different zone to different VM,
and set conntrack limit to each zone. By providing this isolation, a
mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and
it will not influence other well-behaved VMs. Moreover, the users can
set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference.
The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend
to count the number of connections in a particular zone. If the number of
connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the
userspace. If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit
defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to
the behavior without this patch.
The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace:
- OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET:
* set default connection limit for all zones
* set the connection limit for a particular zone
- OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL:
* remove the connection limit for a particular zone
- OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET:
* get the default connection limit for all zones
* get the connection limit for a particular zone

This patch allows reliable identification of netdevice interfaces connected
to openvswitch bridges. In particular, user space queries the netdev
interfaces belonging to the ports for statistics, up/down state, etc.
Datapath dump needs to provide enough information for the user space to be
able to do that.
Currently, only interface names are returned. This is not sufficient, as
openvswitch allows its ports to be in different name spaces and the
interface name is valid only in its name space. What is needed and generally
used in other netlink APIs, is the pair ifindex+netnsid.
The solution is addition of the ifindex+netnsid pair (or only ifindex if in
the same name space) to vport get/dump operation.
On request side, ideally the ifindex+netnsid pair could be used to
get/set/del the corresponding vport. This is not implemented by this patch
and can be added later if needed.

For sw_flow_actions, the actions_len only represents the kernel part's
size, and when we dump the actions to the userspace, we will do the
convertions, so it's true size may become bigger than the actions_len.
But unfortunately, for OVS_PACKET_ATTR_ACTIONS, we use the actions_len
to alloc the skbuff, so the user_skb's size may become insufficient and
oops will happen like this:

Also we can find that the actions_len is much little than the orig_len:

struct sw_flow_actions {
rcu = {
next = 0xffff8812f5398800,

},
orig_len = 1384,
actions_len = 592,
actions = 0xffff8812f539d01c
}
So as a quick fix, use the orig_len instead of the actions_len to alloc
the user_skb.
Last, this oops happened on our system running a relative old kernel, but
the same risk still exists on the mainline, since we use the wrong
actions_len from the beginning.

With the introduction of open flow 'clone' action, the OVS user space
can now translate the 'clone' action into kernel datapath 'sample'
action, with 100% probability, to ensure that the clone semantics,
which is that the packet seen by the clone action is the same as the
packet seen by the action after clone, is faithfully carried out
in the datapath.
While the sample action in the datpath has the matching semantics,
its implementation is only optimized for its original use.
Specifically, there are two limitation: First, there is a 3 level of
nesting restriction, enforced at the flow downloading time. This
limit turns out to be too restrictive for the 'clone' use case.
Second, the implementation avoid recursive call only if the sample
action list has a single userspace action.
The main optimization implemented in this series removes the static
nesting limit check, instead, implement the run time recursion limit
check, and recursion avoidance similar to that of the 'recirc' action.
This optimization solve both #1 and #2 issues above.
One related optimization attempts to avoid copying flow key as
long as the actions enclosed does not change the flow key. The
detection is performed only once at the flow downloading time.
Another related optimization is to rewrite the action list
at flow downloading time in order to save the fast path from parsing
the sample action list in its original form repeatedly.

Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
There are 2 reasons to do so:
1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.
2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.
void f(long *p, int i)
{
g(p[i]);
}
roughly translates to
movsx rsi, esi
mov rdi, [rsi+...]
call g
MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:
static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
{
...
ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
...
}
And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]
However, overall balance is in negative direction:

Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can
make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state)
field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched.
Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*:
- NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection.
- ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection.
- RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection.
- INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet.
- REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow.
- TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack.
When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet
through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one
or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always
set the TRACKED bit.
When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies
that information about the connection should be stored. This allows
subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be
correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the
connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider
the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR.
The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This
allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate
from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the
"ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id.
IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the
CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that
refragmentation can occur during output.
IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou.

Instead it is possible to say:

And then in a header say:

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

write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes

therefore it can co-exist with linux device based gre tunnels.

Currently OVS uses combination of genl and rtnl lock to protect
datapath state. This was done due to networking stack locking.
But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering
issues with new tunneling protocols.
Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex
and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state.

Until now, the optional OVS_USERSPACE_ATTR_USERDATA attribute had to be
exactly 64 bits long, if it was present. However, 64 bits is not enough
space to associate as much information with a flow as would be convenient
for some userspace features now under development. This commit generalizes
the attribute, allowing it to be any length.
This generalization is backward-compatible: if userspace only uses 64-bit
attributes, then it will not see any change in behavior.

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier. Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.
I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.
I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.
