69929d4c49 net: openvswitch: fix TTL decrement action netlink message format
Currently, the openvswitch module is not accepting the correctly formated
netlink message for the TTL decrement action. For both setting and getting
the dec_ttl action, the actions should be nested in the
OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION attribute as mentioned in the openvswitch.h uapi.

When the original patch was sent, it was tested with a private OVS userspace
implementation. This implementation was unfortunately not upstreamed and
reviewed, hence an erroneous version of this patch was sent out.

Leaving the patch as-is would cause problems as the kernel module could
interpret additional attributes as actions and vice-versa, due to the
actions not being encapsulated/nested within the actual attribute, but
being concatinated after it.

744676e777 openvswitch: add TTL decrement action
New action to decrement TTL instead of setting it to a fixed value.
This action will decrement the TTL and, in case of expired TTL, drop it
or execute an action passed via a nested attribute.
The default TTL expired action is to drop the packet.

Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 via the ttl and hop_limit fields, respectively.

Tested with a corresponding change in the userspace:

    # ovs-dpctl dump-flows
    in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:dec_ttl{ttl<=1 action:(drop)},1
    in_port(1),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:dec_ttl{ttl<=1 action:(drop)},2
    in_port(1),eth(),eth_type(0x0806), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:2
    in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0806), packets:0, bytes:0, used:never, actions:1

    # ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 42
    IP (tos 0x0, ttl 41, id 61647, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
        192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 386, seq 1, length 64
    # ping -c1 192.168.0.2 -t 120
    IP (tos 0x0, ttl 119, id 62070, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
        192.168.0.1 > 192.168.0.2: ICMP echo request, id 388, seq 1, length 64

f66b53fdbb openvswitch: New MPLS actions for layer 2 tunnelling
The existing PUSH MPLS action inserts MPLS header between ethernet header
and the IP header. Though this behaviour is fine for L3 VPN where an IP
packet is encapsulated inside a MPLS tunnel, it does not suffice the L2
VPN (l2 tunnelling) requirements. In L2 VPN the MPLS header should
encapsulate the ethernet packet.

The new mpls action ADD_MPLS inserts MPLS header at the start of the
packet or at the start of the l3 header depending on the value of l3 tunnel
flag in the ADD_MPLS arguments.

POP_MPLS action is extended to support ethertype 0x6558.

bd1903b7c4 net: openvswitch: add hash info to upcall
When using the kernel datapath, the upcall don't
include skb hash info relatived. That will introduce
some problem, because the hash of skb is important
in kernel stack. For example, VXLAN module uses
it to select UDP src port. The tx queue selection
may also use the hash in stack.

Hash is computed in different ways. Hash is random
for a TCP socket, and hash may be computed in hardware,
or software stack. Recalculation hash is not easy.

Hash of TCP socket is computed:
tcp_v4_connect
    -> sk_set_txhash (is random)

__tcp_transmit_skb
    -> skb_set_hash_from_sk

There will be one upcall, without information of skb
hash, to ovs-vswitchd, for the first packet of a TCP
session. The rest packets will be processed in Open vSwitch
modules, hash kept. If this tcp session is forward to
VXLAN module, then the UDP src port of first tcp packet
is different from rest packets.

TCP packets may come from the host or dockers, to Open vSwitch.
To fix it, we store the hash info to upcall, and restore hash
when packets sent back.

95a7233c45 net: openvswitch: Set OvS recirc_id from tc chain index
Offloaded OvS datapath rules are translated one to one to tc rules,
for example the following simplified OvS rule:

recirc_id(0),in_port(dev1),eth_type(0x0800),ct_state(-trk) actions:ct(),recirc(2)

Will be translated to the following tc rule:

$ tc filter add dev dev1 ingress \
	    prio 1 chain 0 proto ip \
		flower tcp ct_state -trk \
		action ct pipe \
		action goto chain 2

Received packets will first travel though tc, and if they aren't stolen
by it, like in the above rule, they will continue to OvS datapath.
Since we already did some actions (action ct in this case) which might
modify the packets, and updated action stats, we would like to continue
the proccessing with the correct recirc_id in OvS (here recirc_id(2))
where we left off.

To support this, introduce a new skb extension for tc, which
will be used for translating tc chain to ovs recirc_id to
handle these miss cases. Last tc chain index will be set
by tc goto chain action and read by OvS datapath.

4d5ec89fc8 net: openvswitch: Add a new action check_pkt_len
This patch adds a new action - 'check_pkt_len' which checks the
packet length and executes a set of actions if the packet
length is greater than the specified length or executes
another set of actions if the packet length is lesser or equal to.

This action takes below nlattrs
  * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN - 'pkt_len' to check for

  * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_GREATER - Nested actions
    to apply if the packet length is greater than the specified 'pkt_len'

  * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_LESS_EQUAL - Nested
    actions to apply if the packet length is lesser or equal to the
    specified 'pkt_len'.

The main use case for adding this action is to solve the packet
drops because of MTU mismatch in OVN virtual networking solution.
When a VM (which belongs to a logical switch of OVN) sends a packet
destined to go via the gateway router and if the nic which provides
external connectivity, has a lesser MTU, OVS drops the packet
if the packet length is greater than this MTU.

With the help of this action, OVN will check the packet length
and if it is greater than the MTU size, it will generate an
ICMP packet (type 3, code 4) and includes the next hop mtu in it
so that the sender can fragment the packets.

9354d45203 openvswitch: reliable interface indentification in port dumps
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.

e2be04c7f9 License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with a license
Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be.  This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.

Update these files with an SPDX license identifier.  The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.

GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.

Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier.  The format
is:
        ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)

SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text.  The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

netlink multicast groups.  Default behavior depends on the system
configuration, but typically a lot of events are delivered.  This can be
very chatty for the NFNLGRP_CONNTRACK_UPDATE group, even if only some
types of events are of interest.

Netfilter core init_conntrack() adds the event cache extension, so we
only need to set the ctmask value.  However, if the system is
configured without support for events, the setting will be skipped due
to extension not being found.

798c166173 openvswitch: Optimize sample action for the clone use cases
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.
