86ec8dbae2 openvswitch: Fix ovs_flow_stats_get/clear RCU dereference.
For ovs_flow_stats_get() using ovsl_dereference() was wrong, since
flow dumps call this with RCU read lock.

ovs_flow_stats_clear() is always called with ovs_mutex, so can use
ovsl_dereference().

Also, make the ovs_flow_stats_get() 'flow' argument const to make
later patches cleaner.

1139e241ec openvswitch: Compact sw_flow_key.
Minimize padding in sw_flow_key and move 'tp' top the main struct.
These changes simplify code when accessing the transport port numbers
and the tcp flags, and makes the sw_flow_key 8 bytes smaller on 64-bit
systems (128->120 bytes).  These changes also make the keys for IPv4
packets to fit in one cache line.

There is a valid concern for safety of packing the struct
ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel, as it would be possible to take the address of
the tun_id member as a __be64 * which could result in unaligned access
in some systems. However:

- sw_flow_key itself is 64-bit aligned, so the tun_id within is
  always
  64-bit aligned.
- We never make arrays of ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel (which would force
  every
  second tun_key to be misaligned).
- We never take the address of the tun_id in to a __be64 *.
- Whereever we use struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel outside the
  sw_flow_key,
  it is in stack (on tunnel input functions), where compiler has full
  control of the alignment.

63e7959c4b openvswitch: Per NUMA node flow stats.
Keep kernel flow stats for each NUMA node rather than each (logical)
CPU.  This avoids using the per-CPU allocator and removes most of the
kernel-side OVS locking overhead otherwise on the top of perf reports
and allows OVS to scale better with higher number of threads.

With 9 handlers and 4 revalidators netperf TCP_CRR test flow setup
rate doubles on a server with two hyper-threaded physical CPUs (16
logical cores each) compared to the current OVS master.  Tested with
non-trivial flow table with a TCP port match rule forcing all new
connections with unique port numbers to OVS userspace.  The IP
addresses are still wildcarded, so the kernel flows are not considered
as exact match 5-tuple flows.  This type of flows can be expected to
appear in large numbers as the result of more effective wildcarding
made possible by improvements in OVS userspace flow classifier.

There is a small increase in kernel spinlock overhead due to the same
spinlock being shared between multiple cores of the same physical CPU,
but that is barely visible in the netperf TCP_CRR test performance
(maybe ~1% performance drop, hard to tell exactly due to variance in
the test results), when testing for kernel module throughput (with no
userspace activity, handful of kernel flows).

On flow setup, a single stats instance is allocated (for the NUMA node
0).  As CPUs from multiple NUMA nodes start updating stats, new
NUMA-node specific stats instances are allocated.  This allocation on
the packet processing code path is made to never block or look for
emergency memory pools, minimizing the allocation latency.  If the
allocation fails, the existing preallocated stats instance is used.
Also, if only CPUs from one NUMA-node are updating the preallocated
stats instance, no additional stats instances are allocated.  This
eliminates the need to pre-allocate stats instances that will not be
used, also relieving the stats reader from the burden of reading stats
that are never used.

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.

8f49ce1135 openvswitch: Shrink sw_flow_mask by 8 bytes (64-bit) or 4 bytes (32-bit).
We won't normally have a ton of flow masks but using a size_t to store
values no bigger than sizeof(struct sw_flow_key) seems excessive.

This reduces sw_flow_key_range and sw_flow_mask by 4 bytes on 32-bit
systems.  On 64-bit systems it shrinks sw_flow_key_range by 12 bytes but
sw_flow_mask only by 8 bytes due to padding.

Compile tested only.

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.

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.

In theory this could cause a kernel panic when a maximum length

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.
