/* Nicira vendor-specific error messages extension.
 *
 * OpenFlow 1.0 has a set of predefined error types (OFPET_*) and codes (which
 * are specific to each type).  It does not have any provision for
 * vendor-specific error codes, and it does not even provide "generic" error
 * codes that can apply to problems not anticipated by the OpenFlow
 * specification authors.
 *
 * This extension attempts to address the problem by adding a generic "error
 * vendor extension".  The extension works as follows: use NXET_VENDOR as type
 * and NXVC_VENDOR_ERROR as code, followed by struct nx_vendor_error with
 * vendor-specific details, followed by at least 64 bytes of the failed
 * request.
 *
 * It would be better to have a type-specific vendor extension, e.g. so that
 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION could be used with vendor-specific code values.  But
 * OFPET_BAD_ACTION and most other standardized types already specify that
 * their 'data' values are (the start of) the OpenFlow message being replied
 * to, so there is no room to insert a vendor ID.
 *
 * Currently this extension is only implemented by Open vSwitch, but it seems
 * like a reasonable candidate for future standardization.

 *
 *     - The metadata fields use NXM (instead of OXM) field numbers.
 *
 * Open vSwitch 1.9.0 and later omits metadata fields that are zero (as allowed
 * by OpenFlow 1.2).  Earlier versions included all implemented metadata
 * fields.
 *
 * Open vSwitch does not include non-metadata in the nx_match, because by
 * definition that information can be found in the packet itself.  The format
 * and the standards allow this, however, so controllers should be prepared to
 * tolerate future changes.
 *
 * The NXM format is convenient for reporting metadata values, but it is
 * important not to interpret the format as matching against a flow, because it
 * does not.  Nothing is being matched; arbitrary metadata masks would not be
 * meaningful.
 *
 * Whereas in most cases a controller can expect to only get back NXM fields
 * that it set up itself (e.g. flow dumps will ordinarily report only NXM
 * fields from flows that the controller added), NXT_PACKET_IN messages might
 * contain fields that the controller does not understand, because the switch
 * might support fields (new registers, new protocols, etc.) that the
 * controller does not.  The controller must prepared to tolerate these.

/* NXT_PACKET_IN2
 * ==============
 *
 * NXT_PACKET_IN2 is conceptually similar to OFPT_PACKET_IN but it is expressed
 * as an extensible set of properties instead of using a fixed structure.
 *
 * Added in Open vSwitch 2.6
 *
 *
 * Continuations
 * -------------
 *
 * When a "controller" action specifies the "pause" flag, the controller action
 * freezes the packet's trip through Open vSwitch flow tables and serializes
 * that state into the packet-in message as a "continuation".  The controller
 * can later send the continuation back to the switch, which will restart the
 * packet's traversal from the point where it was interrupted.  This permits an
 * OpenFlow controller to interpose on a packet midway through processing in
 * Open vSwitch.
 *
 * Continuations fit into packet processing this way:
 *
 * 1. A packet ingresses into Open vSwitch, which runs it through the OpenFlow
 *    tables.
 *
 * 2. An OpenFlow flow executes a "controller" action that includes the "pause"
 *    flag.  Open vSwitch serializes the packet processing state and sends it,
 *    as an NXT_PACKET_IN2 that includes an additional NXPINT_CONTINUATION
 *    property (the continuation), to the OpenFlow controller.
 *
 *    (The controller must use NXAST_CONTROLLER2 to generate the packet-in,
 *    because only this form of the "controller" action has a "pause" flag.
 *    Similarly, the controller must use NXT_SET_PACKET_IN_FORMAT to select
 *    NXT_PACKET_IN2 as the packet-in format, because this is the only format
 *    that supports continuation passing.)
 *
 * 3. The controller receives the NXT_PACKET_IN2 and processes it.  The
 *    controller can interpret and, if desired, modify some of the contents of
 *    the packet-in, such as the packet and the metadata being processed.
 *
 * 4. The controller sends the continuation back to the switch, using an
 *    NXT_RESUME message.  Packet processing resumes where it left off.
 *
 * The controller might change the pipeline configuration concurrently with
 * steps 2 through 4.  For example, it might add or remove OpenFlow flows.  If
 * that happens, then the packet will experience a mix of processing from the
 * two configurations, that is, the initial processing (before
 * NXAST_CONTROLLER2) uses the initial flow table, and the later processing
 * (after NXT_RESUME) uses the later flow table.  This means that the
 * controller needs to take care to avoid incompatible pipeline changes while
 * processing continuations.
 *
 * External side effects (e.g. "output") of OpenFlow actions processed before
 * NXAST_CONTROLLER2 is encountered might be executed during step 2 or step 4,
 * and the details may vary among Open vSwitch features and versions.  Thus, a
 * controller that wants to make sure that side effects are executed must pass
 * the continuation back to the switch, that is, must not skip step 4.
 *
 * Architecturally, continuations may be "stateful" or "stateless", that is,
 * they may or may not refer to buffered state maintained in Open vSwitch.
 * This means that a controller should not attempt to resume a given
 * continuations more than once (because the switch might have discarded the
 * buffered state after the first use).  For the same reason, continuations
 * might become "stale" if the controller takes too long to resume them
 * (because the switch might have discarded old buffered state).  Taken
 * together with the previous note, this means that a controller should resume
 * each continuation exactly once (and promptly).
 *
 * Without the information in NXPINT_CONTINUATION, the controller can (with
 * careful design, and help from the flow cookie) determine where the packet is
 * in the pipeline, but in the general case it can't determine what nested
 * "resubmit"s that may be in progress, or what data is on the stack maintained
 * by NXAST_STACK_PUSH and NXAST_STACK_POP actions, what is in the OpenFlow
 * action set, etc.
 *
 * Continuations are expensive because they require a round trip between the
 * switch and the controller.  Thus, they should not be used to implement
 * processing that needs to happen at "line rate".
 *
 * The contents of NXPINT_CONTINUATION are private to the switch, may change
 * unpredictably from one version of Open vSwitch to another, and are not
 * documented here.  The contents are also tied to a given Open vSwitch process
 * and bridge, so that restarting Open vSwitch or deleting and recreating a
 * bridge will cause the corresponding NXT_RESUME to be rejected.
 *
 * In the current implementation, Open vSwitch forks the packet processing
 * pipeline across patch ports.  Suppose, for example, that the pipeline for
 * br0 outputs to a patch port whose peer belongs to br1, and that the pipeline
 * for br1 executes a controller action with the "pause" flag.  This only
 * pauses processing within br1, and processing in br0 continues and possibly
 * completes with visible side effects, such as outputting to ports, before
 * br1's controller receives or processes the continuation.  This
 * implementation maintains the independence of separate bridges and, since
 * processing in br1 cannot affect the behavior of br0 anyway, should not cause
 * visible behavioral changes.
 *
 * A stateless implementation of continuations may ignore the "controller"
 * action max_len, always sending the whole packet, because the full packet is
 * required to continue traversal.

/* Flexible flow specifications (aka NXM = Nicira Extended Match).
 *
 * OpenFlow 1.0 has "struct ofp10_match" for specifying flow matches.  This
 * structure is fixed-length and hence difficult to extend.  This section
 * describes a more flexible, variable-length flow match, called "nx_match" for
 * short, that is also supported by Open vSwitch.  This section also defines a
 * replacement for each OpenFlow message that includes struct ofp10_match.
 *
 * OpenFlow 1.2+ introduced OpenFlow Extensible Match (OXM), adapting
 * the design of NXM.  The format of NXM and OXM are compatible.
 *
 *
 * Format
 * ======
 *
 * An nx_match is a sequence of zero or more "nxm_entry"s, which are
 * type-length-value (TLV) entries, each 5 to 259 (inclusive) bytes long.
 * "nxm_entry"s are not aligned on or padded to any multibyte boundary.  The
 * first 4 bytes of an nxm_entry are its "header", followed by the entry's
 * "body".
 *
 * An nxm_entry's header is interpreted as a 32-bit word in network byte order:
 *
 * |<-------------------- nxm_type ------------------>|
 * |                                                  |
 * |31                              16 15            9| 8 7                0
 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
 * |            nxm_vendor            |   nxm_field   |hm|    nxm_length    |
 * +----------------------------------+---------------+--+------------------+
 *
 * The most-significant 23 bits of the header are collectively "nxm_type".
 * Bits 16...31 are "nxm_vendor", one of OFPXMC12_* values.  In case of
 * NXM, it's either OFPXMC12_NXM_0 or OFPXMC12_NXM_1.
 * Bits 9...15 are "nxm_field", which is a vendor-specific value.  nxm_type
 * normally designates a protocol header, such as the Ethernet type, but it
 * can also refer to packet metadata, such as the switch port on which a packet
 * arrived.
 *
 * Bit 8 is "nxm_hasmask" (labeled "hm" above for space reasons).  The meaning
 * of this bit is explained later.
 *
 * The least-significant 8 bits are "nxm_length", a positive integer.  The
 * length of the nxm_entry, including the header, is exactly 4 + nxm_length
 * bytes.
 *
 * For a given nxm_vendor, nxm_field, and nxm_hasmask value, nxm_length is a
 * constant.  It is included only to allow software to minimally parse
 * "nxm_entry"s of unknown types.  (Similarly, for a given nxm_vendor,
 * nxm_field, and nxm_length, nxm_hasmask is a constant.)
 *
 *
 * Semantics
 * =========
 *
 * A zero-length nx_match (one with no "nxm_entry"s) matches every packet.
 *
 * An nxm_entry places a constraint on the packets matched by the nx_match:
 *
 *   - If nxm_hasmask is 0, the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
 *     field, called "nxm_value".  The nx_match matches only packets in which
 *     the field equals nxm_value.
 *
 *   - If nxm_hasmask is 1, then the nxm_entry's body contains a value for the
 *     field (nxm_value), followed by a bitmask of the same length as the
 *     value, called "nxm_mask".  For each 1-bit in position J in nxm_mask, the
 *     nx_match matches only packets for which bit J in the given field's value
 *     matches bit J in nxm_value.  A 0-bit in nxm_mask causes the
 *     corresponding bit in nxm_value is ignored (it should be 0; Open vSwitch
 *     may enforce this someday), as is the corresponding bit in the field's
 *     value.  (The sense of the nxm_mask bits is the opposite of that used by
 *     the "wildcards" member of struct ofp10_match.)
 *
 *     When nxm_hasmask is 1, nxm_length is always even.
 *
 *     An all-zero-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to omitting the nxm_entry
 *     entirely.  An all-one-bits nxm_mask is equivalent to specifying 0 for
 *     nxm_hasmask.
 *
 * When there are multiple "nxm_entry"s, all of the constraints must be met.
 *
 *
 * Mask Restrictions
 * =================
 *
 * Masks may be restricted:
 *
 *   - Some nxm_types may not support masked wildcards, that is, nxm_hasmask
 *     must always be 0 when these fields are specified.  For example, the
 *     field that identifies the port on which a packet was received may not be
 *     masked.
 *
 *   - Some nxm_types that do support masked wildcards may only support certain
 *     nxm_mask patterns.  For example, fields that have IPv4 address values
 *     may be restricted to CIDR masks.
 *
 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
 * A switch may accept an nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that the specification
 * disallows, if the switch correctly implements support for that nxm_hasmask
 * or nxm_mask value.  A switch must reject an attempt to set up a flow that
 * contains a nxm_hasmask or nxm_mask value that it does not support.
 *
 *
 * Prerequisite Restrictions
 * =========================
 *
 * The presence of an nxm_entry with a given nxm_type may be restricted based
 * on the presence of or values of other "nxm_entry"s.  For example:
 *
 *   - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_TOS is allowed only if it is
 *     preceded by another entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0,
 *     and nxm_value=0x0800.  That is, matching on the IP source address is
 *     allowed only if the Ethernet type is explicitly set to IP.
 *
 *   - An nxm_entry for nxm_type=NXM_OF_TCP_SRC is allowed only if it is
 *     preceded by an entry with nxm_type=NXM_OF_ETH_TYPE, nxm_hasmask=0, and
 *     nxm_value either 0x0800 or 0x86dd, and another with
 *     nxm_type=NXM_OF_IP_PROTO, nxm_hasmask=0, nxm_value=6, in that order.
 *     That is, matching on the TCP source port is allowed only if the Ethernet
 *     type is IP or IPv6 and the IP protocol is TCP.
 *
 * These restrictions should be noted in specifications for individual fields.
 * A switch may implement relaxed versions of these restrictions.  A switch
 * must reject an attempt to set up a flow that violates its restrictions.
 *
 *
 * Ordering Restrictions
 * =====================
 *
 * An nxm_entry that has prerequisite restrictions must appear after the
 * "nxm_entry"s for its prerequisites.  Ordering of "nxm_entry"s within an
 * nx_match is not otherwise constrained.
 *
 * Any given nxm_type may appear in an nx_match at most once.
 *
 *
 * nxm_entry Examples
 * ==================
 *
 * These examples show the format of a single nxm_entry with particular
 * nxm_hasmask and nxm_length values.  The diagrams are labeled with field
 * numbers and byte indexes.
 *
 *
 * 8-bit nxm_value, nxm_hasmask=1, nxm_length=2:
 *

 *
 *  0          3 4                9 10              15
 * +------------+------------------+------------------+
 * |   header   |     nxm_value    |      nxm_mask    |
 * +------------+------------------+------------------+
 *
 *
 * Error Reporting
 * ===============
 *
 * A switch should report an error in an nx_match using error type
 * OFPET_BAD_REQUEST and one of the NXBRC_NXM_* codes.  Ideally the switch
 * should report a specific error code, if one is assigned for the particular
 * problem, but NXBRC_NXM_INVALID is also available to report a generic
 * nx_match error.

/* Flow Table Monitoring
 * =====================
 *
 * NXST_FLOW_MONITOR allows a controller to keep track of changes to OpenFlow
 * flow table(s) or subsets of them, with the following workflow:
 *
 * 1. The controller sends an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request to begin monitoring
 *    flows.  The 'id' in the request must be unique among all monitors that
 *    the controller has started and not yet canceled on this OpenFlow
 *    connection.
 *
 * 2. The switch responds with an NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply.  If the request's
 *    'flags' included NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply includes all the flows that
 *    matched the request at the time of the request (with event NXFME_ADDED).
 *    If 'flags' did not include NXFMF_INITIAL, the reply is empty.
 *
 *    The reply uses the xid of the request (as do all replies to OpenFlow
 *    requests).
 *
 * 3. Whenever a change to a flow table entry matches some outstanding monitor
 *    request's criteria and flags, the switch sends a notification to the
 *    controller as an additional NXST_FLOW_MONITOR reply with xid 0.
 *
 *    When multiple outstanding monitors match a single change, only a single
 *    notification is sent.  This merged notification includes the information
 *    requested in any of the individual monitors.  That is, if any of the
 *    matching monitors requests actions (NXFMF_ACTIONS), the notification
 *    includes actions, and if any of the monitors request full changes for the
 *    controller's own changes (NXFMF_OWN), the controller's own changes will
 *    be included in full.
 *
 * 4. The controller may cancel a monitor with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL.  No
 *    further notifications will be sent on the basis of the canceled monitor
 *    afterward.
 *
 *
 * Buffer Management
 * =================
 *
 * OpenFlow messages for flow monitor notifications can overflow the buffer
 * space available to the switch, either temporarily (e.g. due to network
 * conditions slowing OpenFlow traffic) or more permanently (e.g. the sustained
 * rate of flow table change exceeds the network bandwidth between switch and
 * controller).
 *
 * When Open vSwitch's notification buffer space reaches a limiting threshold,
 * OVS reacts as follows:
 *
 * 1. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED message to the controller, following
 *    all the already queued notifications.  After it receives this message,
 *    the controller knows that its view of the flow table, as represented by
 *    flow monitor notifications, is incomplete.
 *
 * 2. As long as the notification buffer is not empty:
 *
 *        - NXMFE_ADD and NXFME_MODIFIED notifications will not be sent.
 *
 *        - NXFME_DELETED notifications will still be sent, but only for flows
 *          that existed before OVS sent NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_PAUSED.
 *
 *        - NXFME_ABBREV notifications will not be sent.  They are treated as
 *          the expanded version (and therefore only the NXFME_DELETED
 *          components, if any, are sent).
 *
 * 3. When the notification buffer empties, OVS sends NXFME_ADD notifications
 *    for flows added since the buffer reached its limit and NXFME_MODIFIED
 *    notifications for flows that existed before the limit was reached and
 *    changed after the limit was reached.
 *
 * 4. OVS sends an NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_RESUMED message to the controller.  After
 *    it receives this message, the controller knows that its view of the flow
 *    table, as represented by flow monitor notifications, is again complete.
 *
 * This allows the maximum buffer space requirement for notifications to be
 * bounded by the limit plus the maximum number of supported flows.
 *
 *
 * "Flow Removed" messages
 * =======================
 *
 * The flow monitor mechanism is independent of OFPT_FLOW_REMOVED and
 * NXT_FLOW_REMOVED.  Flow monitor updates for deletion are sent if
 * NXFMF_DELETE is set on a monitor, regardless of whether the
 * OFPFF_SEND_FLOW_REM flag was set when the flow was added. */

/* NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request.
 *
 * The NXST_FLOW_MONITOR request's body consists of an array of zero or more
 * instances of this structure.  The request arranges to monitor the flows
 * that match the specified criteria, which are interpreted in the same way as
 * for NXST_FLOW.
 *
 * 'id' identifies a particular monitor for the purpose of allowing it to be
 * canceled later with NXT_FLOW_MONITOR_CANCEL.  'id' must be unique among
 * existing monitors that have not already been canceled.
 *
 * The reply includes the initial flow matches for monitors that have the
 * NXFMF_INITIAL flag set.  No single flow will be included in the reply more
 * than once, even if more than one requested monitor matches that flow.  The
 * reply will be empty if none of the monitors has NXFMF_INITIAL set or if none
 * of the monitors initially matches any flows.
 *
 * For NXFMF_ADD, an event will be reported if 'out_port' matches against the
 * actions of the flow being added or, for a flow that is replacing an existing
 * flow, if 'out_port' matches against the actions of the flow being replaced.

 * In order to work with this variable-length options in TLV format in
 * tunnel options, we need to maintain a mapping table between an option
 * TLV (defined by <class, type, length>) and an NXM field that can be
 * operated on for the purposes of matches, actions, etc. This mapping
 * must be explicitly specified by the user.
 *
 * There are two primary groups of OpenFlow messages that are introduced
 * as Nicira extensions: modification commands (add, delete, clear mappings)
 * and table status request/reply to dump the current table along with switch
 * information.
 *
 * Note that mappings should not be changed while they are in active use by
 * a flow. The result of doing so is undefined. */
