Subject: [PATCH v2.39 0/7] MPLS actions and matches
Hi,
This series implements MPLS actions and matches based on work by
Ravi K, Leo Alterman, Yamahata-san and Joe Stringer.
This series provides two changes
* Provide user-space support for the VLAN/MPLS tag insertion order
up to and including OpenFlow 1.2, and the different ordering
specified from OpenFlow 1.3. In a nutshell the datapath always
uses the OpenFlow 1.3 ordering, which is to always insert tags
immediately after the L2 header, regardless of the presence of other
tags. And ovs-vswtichd provides compatibility for the behaviour up
to OpenFlow 1.2, which is that MPLS tags should follow VLAN tags
if present.
* Adding basic MPLS action and match support to the kernel datapath
Differences between v2.39 and v2.38:
* Rebase for removal of vlan, checksum and skb->mark compat code
- This includes adding adding a new patch,
"[PATCH v2.39 6/7] datapath: Break out deacceleration portion of
vlan_push" to allow re-use of some existing code.
Differences between v2.38 and v2.37:
* Rebase for SCTP support
* Refactor validate_tp_port() to iterate over eth_types rather
than open-coding the loop. With the addition of SCTP this logic
is now used three times.
Differences between v2.37 and v2.36:
* Rebase
Differences between v2.36 and v2.35:
* Rebase
* Do not add set_ethertype() to datapath/actions.c.
As this patch has evolved this function had devolved into
to sets of functionality wrapped into a single function with
only one line of common code. Refactor things to simply
open-code setting the ether type in the two locations where
set_ethertype() was previously used. The aim here is to improve
readability.
* Update setting skb->ethertype after mpls push and pop.
- In the case of push_mpls it should be set unconditionally
as in v2.35 the behaviour of this function to always push
an MPLS LSE before any VLAN tags.
- In the case of mpls_pop eth_p_mpls(skb->protocol) is a better
test than skb->protocol != htons(ETH_P_8021Q) as it will give the
correct behaviour in the presence of other VLAN ethernet types,
for example 0x88a8 which is used by 802.1ad. Moreover, it seems
correct to update the ethernet type if it was previously set
according to the top-most MPLS LSE.
* Deaccelerate VLANs when pushing MPLS tags the
- Since v2.35 MPLS push will insert an MPLS LSE before any VLAN tags.
This means that if an accelerated tag is present it should be
deaccelerated to ensure it ends up in the correct position.
* Update skb->mac_len in push_mpls() so that it will be correct
when used by a subsequent call to pop_mpls().
As things stand I do not believe this is strictly necessary as
ovs-vswitchd will not send a pop MPLS action after a push MPLS action.
However, I have added this in order to code more defensively as I believe
that if such a sequence did occur it would be rather unobvious why
it didn't work.
* Do not add skb_cow_head() call in push_mpls().
It is unnecessary as there is a make_writable() call.
This change was also made in v2.30 but some how the
code regressed between then and v2.35.
Differences between v2.35 and v2.34:
* Add support for the tag ordering specified up until OpenFlow 1.2 and
the ordering specified from OpenFlow 1.3.
* Correct error in datapath patch's handling of GSO in the presence
of MPLS and absence of VLANs.
Patch overview:
* The first 5 patches of this series are new,
adding support for different tag ordering.
* The last patch is a revised version of the patch to add MPLS support
to the datapath. It has been updated to use OpenFlow 1.3 tag ordering
and resolve a GSO handling bug: both mentioned above. Its change log
includes a history of changes.
