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.

openvswitch: Add recirc and hash action. Recirc action allows a packet to reenter openvswitch processing. currently openvswitch lookup flow for packet received and execute set of actions on that packet, with help of recirc action we can process/modify the packet and recirculate it back in openvswitch for another pass. OVS hash action calculates 5-tupple hash and set hash in flow-key hash. This can be used along with recirculation for distributing packets among different ports for bond devices. For example: OVS bonding can use following actions: Match on: bond flow; Action: hash, recirc(id) Match on: recirc-id == id and hash lower bits == a; Action: output port_bond_a Signed-off-by: Andy Zhou <azhou@nicira.com> Acked-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com>

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

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.

net/openvswitch/flow.c: Replace rcu_dereference() with rcu_access_pointer() The "rcu_dereference()" call is used directly in a condition. Since its return value is never dereferenced it is recommended to use "rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()". Therefore, this patch makes the replacement.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

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. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

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().

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.

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.

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.

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.

openvswitch: Eliminate memset() from flow_extract. As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from the packet we must still zero out the entire key. This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well. In principle, the only thing that needs to be done at this point is remove the memset() at the beginning of flow. However, some fields assume that they are initialized to zero, which now must be done explicitly. In addition, in the event of an error we must also zero out corresponding fields to signal that there is no valid data present. These increase the total amount of code but very little of it is executed in non-error situations. Removing the memset() reduces the profile of ovs_flow_extract() from 0.64% to 0.56% when tested with large packets on a 10G link.

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.

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.

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.

openvswitch: Eliminate memset() from flow_extract. As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from the packet we must still zero out the entire key. This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well. In principle, the only thing that needs to be done at this point is remove the memset() at the beginning of flow. However, some fields assume that they are initialized to zero, which now must be done explicitly. In addition, in the event of an error we must also zero out corresponding fields to signal that there is no valid data present. These increase the total amount of code but very little of it is executed in non-error situations.

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.

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.

openvswitch: Eliminate memset() from flow_extract. As new protocols are added, the size of the flow key tends to increase although few protocols care about all of the fields. In order to optimize this for hashing and matching, OVS uses a variable length portion of the key. However, when fields are extracted from the packet we must still zero out the entire key. This is no longer necessary now that OVS implements masking. Any fields (or holes in the structure) which are not part of a given protocol will be by definition not part of the mask and zeroed out during lookup. Furthermore, since masking already uses variable length keys this zeroing operation automatically benefits as well.

OVS hash action calculates 5-tupple hash and set hash in flow-key hash. This can be used along with recirculation for distributing packets among different ports for bond devices. For example: OVS bonding can use following actions: Match on: bond flow; Action: hash, recirc(id) Match on: recirc-id == id and hash lower bits == a; Action: output port_bond_a Signed-off-by: Andy Zhou <azhou@nicira.com> Acked-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com>
