When using tunnel TLVs (at the moment, this means Geneve options), a
controller must first map the class and type onto an appropriate OXM
field so that it can be used in OVS flow operations. This table is
managed using OpenFlow extensions.
The original code that added support for TLVs made the mapping table
global as a simplification. However, this is not really logically
correct as the OpenFlow management commands are operating on a per-bridge
basis. This removes the original limitation to make the table per-bridge.
One nice result of this change is that it is generally clearer whether
the tunnel metadata is in datapath or OpenFlow format. Rather than
allowing ad-hoc format changes and trying to handle both formats in the
tunnel metadata functions, the format is more clearly separated by function.
Datapaths (both kernel and userspace) use datapath format and it is not
changed during the upcall process. At the beginning of action translation,
tunnel metadata is converted to OpenFlow format and flows and wildcards
are translated back at the end of the process.
As an additional benefit, this change improves performance in some flow
setup situations by keeping the tunnel metadata in the original packet
format in more cases. This helps when copies need to be made as the amount
of data touched is only what is present in the packet rather than the
maximum amount of metadata supported.

To easily allow both in- and out-of-tree building of the Python
wrapper for the OVS JSON parser (e.g. w/ pip), move json.h to
include/openvswitch. This also requires moving lib/{hmap,shash}.h.
Both hmap.h and shash.h were #include-ing "util.h" even though the
headers themselves did not use anything from there, but rather from
include/openvswitch/util.h. Fixing that required including util.h
in several C files mostly due to OVS_NOT_REACHED and things like
xmalloc.

Since tunnel metadata is stored in a fixed area in the flow match
field, we must allocate space for options as they are registered with
the switch. In order to avoid exposing implementation complexity to
the controller, we support fragmentation when we run out of contiguous
blocks that are large enough to handle new requests.
When reading or writing to these fragmented blocks, there is a bug
that would cause us to keep on using the area after the allocated
space rather than moving to the next offset. This corrects that to
use the offset for each block.
Unfortunately, while we did have a test for this exact use case, since
the same bug was present in both reading and writing code, everything
appeared to work as normal from the outside.

This patch renames the command name related with geneve-map to a more
generic name as following:
add-geneve-map -> add-tlv-map
del-geneve-map -> del-tlv-map
dump-geneve-map -> dump-tlv-map
It also renames the Geneve_table to tlv_table.
By doing this renaming, the NSH variable context header (the same TLV
format as Geneve) or other protocol can reuse the field tun_metadata<N>
in the future.

In cases where we don't have a map of tunnel metadata options (such
as with ovs-ofctl) we dynamically allocate them as part of the match.
However, dynamic allocation brings the possibility of errors such as
duplicate entries or running out of space. Up until now, anything that
would cause an error was silently ignored. Since that is not very user
friendly, this adds a mechanism for reporting these types of errors.

Sometimes it is useful to match only on whether a Geneve option
is present even if the specific value is unimportant. A special
case of this is zero length options where there is no value at all
and the only information conveyed is whether the option was included
in the packet.
This operation was partially supported before but it was not consistent -
in particular, options were never serialized through NXM/OXM unless
they had a non-zero mask. Furthermore, zero length options were rejected
altogether when they were installed through the Geneve map OpenFlow
command.
This adds support for these types of matches by making any NXM/OXM for
tunnel metadata force a match on that field. In the case of a zero length
option, both the value and mask of the NXM are ignored.

Whenever we write into a tunnel option field, we also need to mark
it as significant. If we don't, then the data will later be ignored.
We currently do this in every case except for flow metadata. This causes
us to not correctly serialize the tunnel metadata for Packet Ins to the
controller.
Rather than separately writing the data and marking the options as present,
it is better to combine the two steps to ensure that one can never be
done without the other.

The kernel implementation of Geneve options stores the TLV option
data in the flow exactly as received, without any further parsing.
This is then translated to known options for the purposes of matching
on flow setup (which will then install a datapath flow in the form
the kernel is expecting).
The userspace implementation behaves a little bit differently - it
looks up known options as each packet is received. The reason for this
is there is a much tighter coupling between datapath and flow translation
and the representation is generally expected to be the same. This works
but it incurs work on a per-packet basis that could be done per-flow
instead.
This introduces a small translation step for Geneve packets between
datapath and flow lookup for the userspace datapath in order to
allow the same kind of processing that the kernel does. A side effect
of this is that unknown options are now shown when flows dumped via
ovs-appctl dpif/dump-flows, similar to the kernel.
There is a second benefit to this as well: for some operations it is
preferable to keep the options exactly as they were received on the wire,
which this enables. One example is that for packets that are executed from
ofproto-dpif-upcall to the datapath, this avoids the translation of
Geneve metadata. Since this conversion is potentially lossy (for unknown
options), keeping everything in the same format removes the possibility
of dropping options if the packet comes back up to userspace and the
Geneve option translation table has changed. To help with these types of
operations, most functions can understand both formats of data and seamlessly
do the right thing.

Currently the userspace datapath only supports Geneve in a
basic mode - without options - since the rest of userspace
previously didn't support options either. This enables the
userspace datapath to send and receive options as well.
The receive path for extracting the tunnel options isn't entirely
optimal because it does a lookup on the options on a per-packet
basis, rather than per-flow like the kernel does. This is not
as straightforward to do in the userspace datapath since there
is no translation step between packet formats used in packet vs.
flow lookup. This can be optimized in the future and in the
meantime option support is still useful for testing and simulation.

The current support for Geneve in OVS is exactly equivalent to VXLAN:
it is possible to set and match on the VNI but not on any options
contained in the header. This patch enables the use of options.
The goal for Geneve support is not to add support for any particular option
but to allow end users or controllers to specify what they would like to
match. That is, the full range of Geneve's capabilities should be exposed
without modifying the code (the one exception being options that require
per-packet computation in the fast path).
The main issue with supporting Geneve options is how to integrate the
fields into the existing OpenFlow pipeline. All existing operations
are referred to by their NXM/OXM field name - matches, action generation,
arithmetic operations (i.e. tranfer to a register). However, the Geneve
option space is exactly the same as the OXM space, so a direct mapping
is not feasible. Instead, we create a pool of 64 NXMs that are then
dynamically mapped on Geneve option TLVs using OpenFlow. Once mapped,
these fields become first-class citizens in the OpenFlow pipeline.
An example of how to use Geneve options:
ovs-ofctl add-geneve-map br0 {class=0xffff,type=0,len=4}->tun_metadata0
ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=LOCAL,actions=set_field:0xffffffff->tun_metadata0,1
This will add a 4 bytes option (filled will all 1's) to all packets
coming from the LOCAL port and then send then out to port 1.
A limitation of this patch is that although the option table is specified
for a particular switch over OpenFlow, it is currently global to all
switches. This will be addressed in a future patch.
Based on work originally done by Madhu Challa. Ben Pfaff also significantly
improved the comments.
