The version of groff on RHEL 5 doesn't include the .SY, .OP, or .YS macros
that ovs-benchmark.1 uses, so the manpage-check target fails on that
platform. This commit adds the groff definitions of those macros to a
file and includes it into ovs-benchmark.1.
I tested that this allows RHEL 5 to pass manpage-check.

At one point, the OVS distribution contained an IEEE 802.1D Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) library written by Ben Pfaff and based on the
802.1D-1998 reference code. It was never integrated into ovs-vswitchd,
so it was removed as part of commit ba18611 (Remove vestigial support
for Spanning Tree Protocol.)
This commit reintroduces the library, cleans up a few spots, and makes
it build cleanly against new code. A future commit will have
ovs-vswitchd use this library.

There are a few loose ends here. First, learning actions cause too much
flow revalidation. Upcoming commits will fix that problem. The following
additional issues have not yet been addressed:
* Resource limits: nothing yet limits the maximum number of flows that
can be learned. It is possible to exhaust all system memory.
* Age reporting: there is no way to find out how soon a learned table
entry is due to be evicted.
To try this action out, here's a recipe for a very simple-minded MAC
learning switch. It uses a 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier
to see what's going on:
ovs-vsctl del-controller br0
ovs-ofctl del-flows br0
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=0 actions=learn(table=1, hard_timeout=10, \
NXM_OF_VLAN_TCI[0..11], NXM_OF_ETH_DST[]=NXM_OF_ETH_SRC[], \
output:NXM_OF_IN_PORT[]), resubmit(,1)"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 "table=1 priority=0 actions=flood"
You can then dump the MAC learning table with:
ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 table=1

OVS already has a fairly good set of functions for working with fields that
are known at compile time, but support for working with fields that are
known only at runtime is fairly limited (and fairly unneeded). However,
with NXM identifiers becoming more and more widely used throughout Nicira
extensions, it's becoming corresponding more and more common to need to
refer to fields at runtime. This new library represents a first attempt
at a systematic approach for doing so.

This commit primarily moves the OFPAT_ACTION and NXAST_ACTION invocations
into a new file ofp-util.def. This allows multiple places in the source to
use them.
This commit also adds a new function ofputil_action_code_from_name().
The following commit will add the first user.

The only rtnetlink specific functionality contained in the
rtnetlink module is the use of the NETLINK_ROUTE protocol. This
can easily be passed in by callers.
In preparation for generalization, this patch renames
rtnetlink.[ch] to netlink-notifier.[ch]. Future patches will
complete the transition.

|
This should catch future nroff syntax errors immediately, instead of much
later.
|
|
This will be used in upcoming patches.
|
|
This patch creates a new action called "bundle". Bundles are a way
to implement a simple form of multipath in OpenFlow by grouping
several ports in a single output-like action.
|
|
All of the xen-bugtool plugins that OVS has previously installed only under
XenServer are equally useful with Debian and other distributions, so
this commit installs and uses them everywhere.

Previously, if --private-key or another option that requires SSL support
was used, but OVS was built without OpenSSL support, then OVS would fail
with an error message that the specified option was not supported. This
confused users because it made them think that the option had been removed:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2011-April/005034.html
This commit improves the error message: OVS will now report that it was
built without SSL support. This should be make the problem clear to users.

An upcoming commit will introduce another function that needs to convert
between rtnl_link_stats64 and netdev_stats, so it seemed best to just add
functions to do the conversion.

The newly created autopath action will be the way OpenFlow
interacts with the existing bonding infrastructure.
|
|
This removes over 1000 lines of code from bridge.c and will make it
easier to moving the bonding implementation into ofproto as part of
future development.
|
|
Many uses of "shash" or "svec" data structures really call for a "set of
strings" data type. This commit introduces such a data structure. Later
commits convert inappropriate uses of shash and svec to use sset instead.

Scattered throughout the code base we use long integers to
implement timers. When the result of timer_msec() is greater than
the time stored, we preform some action.
This commit creates a new timer library intended to replace these
manually managed timers. Code using the timer library will be more
obviously correct, and more consistent with other code using the
library.
|
|
This commit pulls LACP code out of the bridge into its own LACP
module. Currently this module is only used by the existing bonding
infrastructure.

I've never heard of anyone actually using controller discovery.
It adds a great deal of code to the source tree, and a little
bit of complication to ofproto, so this commit removes it.

Static analyzers hate strncpy(). This new function shares its property of
initializing an entire buffer, without its nasty habit of failing to
null-terminate long strings.

This makes the table formatting functions available to other programs.
ovs-vsctl will start using it soon on the "list" and "find" commands.

I can't see any real value in maintaining a dp_idx separate from the
ifindex of the local port. With the current implementation it also
artificially limits the number of datapaths.

I introduced this a long time ago as an efficient way for userspace to find
out whether and where an internal device was attached, but I've always
considered it an ugly kluge. Now that ODP_VPORT_QUERY can fetch a vport's
info regardless of datapath, it is no longer necessary. This commit
stops using Ethtool for this purpose and drops the feature.

This commit removes the rtnetlink-route module and replaces it with
a much simpler to use route-table module. The route-table uses
rtnetlink to maintain a routing table which may be used to query
the egress interface of particular addresses.
This commit also converts netdev-vport to use the new route-table
module.
|
|
|
|
This commit parses rtnetlink address notifications from the
kernel in order to display the egress interface of tunnels in the
database.
Bug #4103.
|

Abstracted rtnetlink so that it may be used for messages other than
RTM LINK messages. Created a new rtnetlink-link module which
specifically deals with these kinds of messages and follows the old
rtnetlink API.

The parts of the netlink module that are related to sockets are
Linux-specific, since only Linux has AF_NETLINK sockets. The rest can be
built anywhere. This commit breaks them into two modules, and builds the
generic one on all platforms.

ovs_queue doesn't seem very useful; it's just a singly-linked list. It's
more generally useful to use a general-purpose "struct list" for lists of
packets, so this commit adds such a member to "struct ofpbuf" and shifts
the existing users to use it.

Stress options allow developers testing Open vSwitch to trigger behavior
that otherwise would occur only in corner cases. Developers and testers
can thereby more easily discover bugs that would otherwise manifest only
rarely or nondeterministically. Stress options may cause surprising
behavior even when they do not actually reveal bugs, so they should only be
enabled as part of testing Open vSwitch.
This commit implements the framework and adds a few example stress options.
This commit started from code written by Andrew Lambeth.

Until now, the collection of coverage counters supported by a given OVS
program was not specific to that program. That means that, for example,
even though ovs-dpctl does not have anything to do with mac_learning, it
still has a coverage counter for it. This is confusing, at best.
This commit fixes the problem on some systems, in particular on ones that
use GCC and the GNU linker. It uses the feature of the GNU linker
described in its manual as:
If an orphaned section's name is representable as a C identifier then
the linker will automatically see PROVIDE two symbols: __start_SECNAME
and __end_SECNAME, where SECNAME is the name of the section. These
indicate the start address and end address of the orphaned section
respectively.
Systems that don't support these features retain the earlier behavior.
This commit also fixes the annoyance that files that include coverage
counters must be listed on COVERAGE_FILES in lib/automake.mk.
This commit also fixes the annoyance that modifying any source file that
includes a coverage counter caused all programs that link against
libopenvswitch.a to relink, even programs that the source file was not
linked into. For example, modifying ofproto/ofproto.c (which includes
coverage counters) caused tests/test-aes128 to relink, even though
test-aes128 does not link again ofproto.o.

This makes it possible to run tests that need access to installation
directories, such as the rundir, without having access to the actual
installation directories (/var/run is generally not world-writable), by
setting environment variables. This is not a good way to do things in
general--usually it would be better to choose the correct directories
at configure time--so for now this is undocumented.

This commit implements a subset of the 802.1ag specification for
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) using Continuity Check Messages
(CCM). When CFM is configured on an interface CCMs are broadcast
at regular intervals to detect missing or unexpected connectivity.
|
|
This is redundant since it's also in lib_libopenvswitch_a_SOURCES.
Also, remove duplicate blank line.

The only real difference between netdev-patch and netdev-tunnel is in their
parse_config() implementation. That's a lot of extra code to maintain, for
questionable benefit. This commit merges them into the netdev-vport code,
which was heretofore merely a collection of helper functions.
|
|
These initial bindings pass a few hundred of the corresponding tests
for C implementations of various bits of the Open vSwitch library API.
The poorest part of them is actually the Python IDL interface in
ovs.db.idl, which has not received enough attention yet. It appears
to work, but it doesn't yet support writes (transactions) and it is
difficult to use. I hope to improve it as it becomes clear what
semantics Python applications actually want from an IDL.

Since the GRE netdev doesn't actually implement any of the GRE
protocol, none of the code is really specific to GRE. This commit
makes the netdev a little more generic so that additional tunnel
types can easily piggyback on it in the future.

Open vSwitch has never properly supported IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP), but it has various bits and pieces that claim to support
it. This commit deletes them, to reduce the amount of dead code in the
tree. We can always reintroduce it later if it proves to be a good idea.
Bug #1175.

This code is useful for seeding other random number generators, so we might
as well make it a separate source file.
