* ofp-actions: Centralize all OpenFlow action code for maintainability.Ben Pfaff2014-08-111-9/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, knowledge about OpenFlow has been somewhat scattered around the tree. Some of it is in ofp-actions, some of it is in ofp-util, some in separate files for individual actions, and most of the wire format declarations are in include/openflow. This commit centralizes all of that in ofp-actions. Encoding and decoding OpenFlow actions was previously broken up by OpenFlow version. This was OK with only OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.1, but each additional version added a new wrapper around the existing ones, which started to become hard to understand. This commit merges all of the processing for the different versions, to the extent that they are similar, making the version differences clearer. Previously, ofp-actions contained OpenFlow encoding and decoding, plus ofpact formatting, but OpenFlow parsing was separated into ofp-parse, which seems an odd division. This commit moves the parsing code into ofp-actions with the rest of the code. Before this commit, the four main bits of code associated with a particular ofpact--OpenFlow encoding and decoding, ofpact formatting and parsing--were all found far away from each other. This often made it hard to see what was going on for a particular ofpact, since you had to search around to many different pieces of code. This commit reorganizes so that all of the code for a given ofpact is in a single place. As a code refactoring, this commit has little visible behavioral change. The update to ofproto-dpif.at illustrates one minor bug fix as a side effect: a flow that was added with the action "dec_ttl" (a standard OpenFlow action) was previously formatted as "dec_ttl(0)" (using a Nicira extension to specifically direct packets bounced to the controller because of too-low TTL), but after this commit it is correctly formatted as "dec_ttl". The other visible effect is to drop support for the Nicira extension dec_ttl action in OpenFlow 1.1 and later in favor of the equivalent standard action. It seems unlikely that anyone was really using the Nicira extension in OF1.1 or later. Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com> Acked-by: Jarno Rajahalme <jrajahalme@nicira.com>
* ofp-parse: Do not exit() upon a parse error.Ben Pfaff2013-07-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | Until now, failure to parse a flow in the ofp-parse module has caused the program to abort immediately with a fatal error. This makes it hard to use these functions from any long-lived program. This commit fixes the problem. Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>
* ofproto-dpif: Store relevant fields for wildcarding in facet.Justin Pettit2013-06-111-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dynamically determines the flow fields that were relevant in processing flows based on the OpenFlow flow table and switch configuration. The immediate use for this functionality is to cache action translations for similar flows in facets. This yields a roughly 80% improvement in flow set up rates for a complicated flow table. More importantly, these wildcards will be used to determine what to wildcard for the forthcoming kernel wildcard (megaflow) patches that will allow wildcarding in the kernel, which will provide significant flow set up improvements. The approach to tracking fields and caching action translations in facets was based on an impressive prototype by Ethan Jackson.

* Introduce ofpacts, an abstraction of OpenFlow actions.Ben Pfaff2012-07-031-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenFlow actions have always been somewhat awkward to handle. Moreover, over time we've started creating actions that require more complicated parsing. When we maintain those actions internally in their wire format, we end up parsing them multiple times, whenever we have to look at the set of actions. When we add support for OpenFlow 1.1 or later protocols, the situation will get worse, because these newer protocols support many of the same actions but with different representations. It becomes unrealistic to handle each protocol in its wire format. This commit adopts a new strategy, by converting OpenFlow actions into an internal form from the wire format when they are read, and converting them back to the wire format when flows are dumped. I believe that this will be more maintainable over time. Thanks to Simon Horman and Pravin Shelar for reviews. Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>

* Better abstract OpenFlow error codes.Ben Pfaff2012-01-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | This commit switches from using the actual protocol values of error codes internally in Open vSwitch, to using abstract values that are translated to and from protocol values at message parsing and serialization time. I believe that this makes the code easier to read and to write. This is also one step along the way toward OpenFlow 1.1 support because OpenFlow 1.1 renumbered a bunch of error codes.

* nx-match: New helpers.Ethan Jackson2011-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates two new helper functions, nxm_reg_load() and nxm_dst_check(). The new nxm_dst_check() function may be used to check the validity of destination fields used by actions. The new nxm_reg_load() function may be used by actions which need to write to NXM fields. This patch also allows multipath and autopath to write their result to non-register NXM fields.
