net: openvswitch: add explicit drop action

2023-08-14T07:01:06+00:00

From: Eric Garver This adds an explicit drop action. This is used by OVS to drop packets for which it cannot determine what to do. An explicit action in the kernel allows passing the reason _why_ the packet is being dropped or zero to indicate no particular error happened (i.e: OVS intentionally dropped the packet). Since the error codes coming from userspace mean nothing for the kernel, we squash all of them into only two drop reasons: - OVS_DROP_EXPLICIT_WITH_ERROR to indicate a non-zero value was passed - OVS_DROP_EXPLICIT to indicate a zero value was passed (no error) e.g. trace all OVS dropped skbs # perf trace -e skb:kfree_skb --filter="reason >= 0x30000" [..] 106.023 ping/2465 skb:kfree_skb(skbaddr: 0xffffa0e8765f2000, \ location:0xffffffffc0d9b462, protocol: 2048, reason: 196611) reason: 196611 --> 0x30003 (OVS_DROP_EXPLICIT) Also, this patch allows ovs-dpctl.py to add explicit drop actions as: "drop" -> implicit empty-action drop "drop(0)" -> explicit non-error action drop "drop(42)" -> explicit error action drop Signed-off-by: Eric Garver Co-developed-by: Adrian Moreno Signed-off-by: Adrian Moreno Signed-off-by: David S.

net: openvswitch: add support for l4 symmetric hashing

2023-06-12T08:46:30+00:00

Since its introduction, the ovs module execute_hash action allowed hash algorithms other than the skb->l4_hash to be used. However, additional hash algorithms were not implemented. This means flows requiring different hash distributions weren't able to use the kernel datapath. Now, introduce support for symmetric hashing algorithm as an alternative hash supported by the ovs module using the flow dissector. Output of flow using l4_sym hash: recirc_id(0),in_port(3),eth(),eth_type(0x0800), ipv4(dst=64.0.0.0/192.0.0.0,proto=6,frag=no), packets:30473425, bytes:45902883702, used:0.000s, flags:SP., actions:hash(sym_l4(0)),recirc(0xd) Some performance testing with no GRO/GSO, two veths, single flow: hash(l4(0)): 4.35 GBits/s hash(l4_sym(0)): 4.24 GBits/s Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces

2022-08-27T02:31:20+00:00

CRIU is preserving ifindexes of net devices after restoration. However, current Open vSwitch API does not allow to target ifindex, so we cannot correctly restore OVS configuration. Add new OVS_DP_ATTR_IFINDEX for OVS_DP_CMD_NEW and use it as desired ifindex. Use OVS_VPORT_ATTR_IFINDEX during OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW to specify new netdev ifindex.

net: openvswitch: fix uAPI incompatibility with existing user space

2022-03-11T04:14:52+00:00

Few years ago OVS user space made a strange choice in the commit [1] to define types only valid for the user space inside the copy of a kernel uAPI header. '#ifndef __KERNEL__' and another attribute was added later. This leads to the inevitable clash between user space and kernel types when the kernel uAPI is extended. The issue was unveiled with the addition of a new type for IPv6 extension header in kernel uAPI. When kernel provides the OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS attribute to the older user space application, application tries to parse it as OVS_KEY_ATTR_PACKET_TYPE and discards the whole netlink message as malformed. Since OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS is supplied along with every IPv6 packet that goes to the user space, IPv6 support is fully broken. Fixing that by bringing these user space attributes to the kernel uAPI to avoid the clash. Strictly speaking this is not the problem of the kernel uAPI, but changing it is the only way to avoid breakage of the older user space applications at this point. These 2 types are explicitly rejected now since they should not be passed to the kernel. Additionally, OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL_INFO moved out from the '#ifdef __KERNEL__' as there is no good reason to hide it from the userspace. And it's also explicitly rejected now, because it's for in-kernel use only. Comments with warnings were added to avoid the problem coming back. (1 << type) converted to (1ULL << type) to avoid integer overflow on OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV6_EXTHDRS, since it equals 32 now.

openvswitch: Introduce per-cpu upcall dispatch

2021-07-16T18:06:33+00:00

The Open vSwitch kernel module uses the upcall mechanism to send packets from kernel space to user space when it misses in the kernel space flow table. The upcall sends packets via a Netlink socket. Currently, a Netlink socket is created for every vport. In this way, there is a 1:1 mapping between a vport and a Netlink socket. When a packet is received by a vport, if it needs to be sent to user space, it is sent via the corresponding Netlink socket. This mechanism, with various iterations of the corresponding user space code, has seen some limitations and issues: * On systems with a large number of vports, there is a correspondingly large number of Netlink sockets which can limit scaling. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1526306) * Packet reordering on upcalls. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1844576) * A thundering herd issue. (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1834444) This patch introduces an alternative, feature-negotiated, upcall mode using a per-cpu dispatch rather than a per-vport dispatch. In this mode, the Netlink socket to be used for the upcall is selected based on the CPU of the thread that is executing the upcall. In this way, it resolves the issues above as: a) The number of Netlink sockets scales with the number of CPUs rather than the number of vports. b) Ordering per-flow is maintained as packets are distributed to CPUs based on mechanisms such as RSS and flows are distributed to a single user space thread. c) Packets from a flow can only wake up one user space thread.

net: openvswitch: fix TTL decrement action netlink message format

2020-11-27T19:03:06+00:00

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.
