e298e50570 openvswitch: Per cpu flow stats.
With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between
multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended
operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow
is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple
and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations,
it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time.

5eb26b156e openvswitch: TCP flags matching support.
tcp_flags=flags/mask
        Bitwise  match on TCP flags.  The flags and mask are 16-bit num‐
        bers written in decimal or in hexadecimal prefixed by 0x.   Each
        1-bit  in  mask requires that the corresponding bit in port must
        match.  Each 0-bit in mask causes the corresponding  bit  to  be
        ignored.

        TCP  protocol  currently  defines  9 flag bits, and additional 3
        bits are reserved (must be transmitted as zero), see  RFCs  793,
        3168, and 3540.  The flag bits are, numbering from the least
        significant bit:

        0: FIN No more data from sender.

        1: SYN Synchronize sequence numbers.

        2: RST Reset the connection.

        3: PSH Push function.

        4: ACK Acknowledgement field significant.

        5: URG Urgent pointer field significant.

        6: ECE ECN Echo.

        7: CWR Congestion Windows Reduced.

        8: NS  Nonce Sum.

        9-11:  Reserved.

        12-15: Not matchable, must be zero.

df23e9f642 openvswitch: Widen TCP flags handling.
Widen TCP flags handling from 7 bits (uint8_t) to 12 bits (uint16_t).
The kernel interface remains at 8 bits, which makes no functional
difference now, as none of the higher bits is currently of interest
to the userspace.

3bf4b5b11d net: ovs: flow: fix potential illegal memory access in __parse_flow_nlattrs
In function __parse_flow_nlattrs(), we check for condition
(type > OVS_KEY_ATTR_MAX) and if true, print an error, but we do
not return from this function as in other checks. It seems this
has been forgotten, as otherwise, we could access beyond the
memory of ovs_key_lens, which is of ovs_key_lens[OVS_KEY_ATTR_MAX + 1].
Hence, a maliciously prepared nla_type from user space could access
beyond this upper limit.

Introduced by 03f0d916a ("openvswitch: Mega flow implementation").

0d40f75bda openvswitch: Fix alignment of struct sw_flow_key.
sw_flow_key alignment was declared as " __aligned(__alignof__(long))".
However, this breaks on the m68k architecture where long is 32 bit in
size but 16 bit aligned by default. This aligns to the size of a long to
ensure that we can always do comparsions in full long-sized chunks. It
also adds an additional build check to catch any reduction in alignment.

5828cd9a68 openvswitch: optimize flow compare and mask functions
Make sure the sw_flow_key structure and valid mask boundaries are always
machine word aligned. Optimize the flow compare and mask operations
using machine word size operations. This patch improves throughput on
average by 15% when CPU is the bottleneck of forwarding packets.

This patch is inspired by ideas and code from a patch submitted by Peter
Klausler titled "replace memcmp() with specialized comparator".
However, The original patch only optimizes for architectures
support unaligned machine word access. This patch optimizes for all
architectures.

a175a72330 openvswitch: Add SCTP support
This patch adds support for rewriting SCTP src,dst ports similar to the
functionality already available for TCP/UDP.

Rewriting SCTP ports is expensive due to double-recalculation of the
SCTP checksums; this is performed to ensure that packets traversing OVS
with invalid checksums will continue to the destination with any
checksum corruption intact.

03f0d916aa openvswitch: Mega flow implementation
Add wildcarded flow support in kernel datapath.

Wildcarded flow can improve OVS flow set up performance by avoid sending
matching new flows to the user space program. The exact performance boost
will largely dependent on wildcarded flow hit rate.

In case all new flows hits wildcard flows, the flow set up rate is
within 5% of that of linux bridge module.

Pravin has made significant contributions to this patch. Including API
clean ups and bug fixes.

The e{uid,gid} --> {uid,gid} credentials fix conflicted with the
cleanup in net-next to now pass cred structs around.

The be2net driver had a bug fix in 'net' that overlapped with the VLAN
interface changes by Patrick McHardy in net-next.

An IGB conflict existed because in 'net' the build_skb() support was
reverted, and in 'net-next' there was a comment style fix within that
code.

Several batman-adv conflicts were resolved by making sure that all
calls to batadv_is_my_mac() are changed to have a new bat_priv first
argument.

Eric Dumazet's TS ECR fix in TCP in 'net' conflicted with the F-RTO
rewrite in 'net-next', mostly overlapping changes.

Thanks to Stephen Rothwell and Antonio Quartulli for help with several
of these merge resolutions.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

c55177e3e1 openvswitch: Enable retrieval of TCP flags from IPv6 traffic.
We currently check that a packet is IPv4 and TCP before fetching the
TCP flags.  This enables fetching from IPv6 packets as well.

bf32fecdc1 openvswitch: Add length check when retrieving TCP flags.
When collecting TCP flags we check that the IP header indicates that
a TCP header is present but not that the packet is actually long
enough to contain the header.  This adds a check to prevent reading
off the end of the packet.

In practice, this is only likely to result in reading of bad data and
not a crash due to the presence of struct skb_shared_info at the end
of the packet.

028d6a6767 openvswitch: Stop using NLA_PUT*().
These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
