This patch series introduces rule offload functionality to dpif-netlink
via netdev ports new flow offloading API. The user can specify whether to
enable rule offloading or not via OVS configuration. Netdev providers
are able to implement netdev flow offload API in order to offload rules.
This patch series also implements one offload scheme for netdev-linux,
using TC flower classifier, which was chosen because its sort of natural
to state OVS DP rules for this classifier. However, the code can be
extended to support other classifiers such as U32, eBPF, etc which support
offload as well.
The use-case we are currently addressing is the newly sriov switchdev mode
in the Linux kernel which was introduced in version 4.8 [1][2].
This series was tested against sriov vfs vports representors of the
Mellanox 100G ConnectX-4 series exposed by the mlx5 kernel driver.
V4->V5:
- Fix compat
- Fix VXLAN IPv6 tunnel matching
- Fix order of actions in dump flows
- Update ovs-dpctl man page about the addtion of type to dump-flows
Travis
https://travis-ci.org/roidayan/ovs/builds/213735371
AppVeyor
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/roidayan/ovs/build/1.0.18
V3->V4:
- Move declarations to the right commit with implementation
- Fix tc_get_flower flow return false success
- Fix memory leaks - not releasing tc_transact replies
- Fix travis failure for OSX compilation
- Fix loop in dpif_netlink_flow_dump_next
- Fix declared default value for tc-policy in vswitch.xml
- Refactor loop in netdev_tc_flow_dump_next
- Add missing error checks in parse_flow_put
- Fix handling modify request where old rule is in hw and new
rule is not supported and needs to be in sw.
- Use 2 hashmaps instead of 1 for faster reverse lookup of ufid from tc
- Init ports when enabling hw-offload after OVS is running
TODO: Fix breaking of datapath compilation
Fix testsuite failures
Travis
https://travis-ci.org/roidayan/ovs/builds/210549325
AppVeyor
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/roidayan/ovs/build/1.0.15
V2->V3:
- Code styling fixes
- Bug fixes
- Using already available macros/functions to match current OVS code
- Refactored code according to V2 review
- Replaced bool option skip-hw for string option tc-policy
- Added hw offload tests using policy skip_hw
- Fixed most compatability compiling issues
- Travis
https://travis-ci.org/roidayan/ovs/builds/199610124
- AppVeyor
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/roidayan/ovs/build/1.0.14
- Fixed compiling with DPDK enabled
TODO:
- need to fix datapath compiling issues found in travis after adding tc
compatability headers
- need to fix failing test cases because of get_ifindex
V1->V2:
- Added generic netdev flow offloads API.
- Implemented relevant flow API in netdev-linux (and netdev-vport).
- Added a other_config hw-offload option to enable offloading (defaults to false).
- Fixed coding style to conform with OVS.
- Policy removed for now. (Will be discussed how best implemented later).
Thanks,
Paul & Roi
