Store tunnel protocol (AF_INET or AF_INET6) in sw_flow_key. This field now
also acts as an indicator whether the flow contains tunnel data (this was
previously indicated by tun_key.u.ipv4.dst being set but with IPv6 addresses
in an union with IPv4 ones this won't work anymore).

The new field was added to a hole in sw_flow_key.

Allow matching and setting the ct_label field. As with ct_mark, this is
populated by executing the CT action. The label field may be modified by
specifying a label and mask nested under the CT action. It is stored as
metadata attached to the connection. Label modification occurs after
lookup, and will only persist when the conntrack entry is committed by
providing the COMMIT flag to the CT action. Labels are currently fixed
to 128 bits in size.

Allow matching and setting the ct_mark field. As with ct_state and
ct_zone, these fields are populated when the CT action is executed. To
write to this field, a value and mask can be specified as a nested
attribute under the CT action. This data is stored with the conntrack
entry, and is executed after the lookup occurs for the CT action. The
conntrack entry itself must be committed using the COMMIT flag in the CT
action flags for this change to persist.

<content type='text'>
Expose the kernel connection tracker via OVS. Userspace components can
make use of the CT action to populate the connection state (ct_state)
field for a flow. This state can be subsequently matched.

Exposed connection states are OVS_CS_F_*:
- NEW (0x01) - Beginning of a new connection.
- ESTABLISHED (0x02) - Part of an existing connection.
- RELATED (0x04) - Related to an established connection.
- INVALID (0x20) - Could not track the connection for this packet.
- REPLY_DIR (0x40) - This packet is in the reply direction for the flow.
- TRACKED (0x80) - This packet has been sent through conntrack.

When the CT action is executed by itself, it will send the packet
through the connection tracker and populate the ct_state field with one
or more of the connection state flags above. The CT action will always
set the TRACKED bit.

When the COMMIT flag is passed to the conntrack action, this specifies
that information about the connection should be stored. This allows
subsequent packets for the same (or related) connections to be
correlated with this connection. Sending subsequent packets for the
connection through conntrack allows the connection tracker to consider
the packets as ESTABLISHED, RELATED, and/or REPLY_DIR.

The CT action may optionally take a zone to track the flow within. This
allows connections with the same 5-tuple to be kept logically separate
from connections in other zones. If the zone is specified, then the
"ct_zone" match field will be subsequently populated with the zone id.

IP fragments are handled by transparently assembling them as part of the
CT action. The maximum received unit (MRU) size is tracked so that
refragmentation can occur during output.

IP frag handling contributed by Andy Zhou.

Based on original design by Justin Pettit.

Previously, we used the kernel-internal netlink actions length to
calculate the size of messages to serialize back to userspace.
However,the sw_flow_actions may not be formatted exactly the same as the
actions on the wire, so store the original actions length when
de-serializing and re-use the original length when serializing.

Rename the tunnel metadata data structures currently internal to
OVS and make them generic for use by all IP tunnels.

Both structures are kernel internal and will stay that way. Their
members are exposed to user space through individual Netlink
attributes by OVS. It will therefore be possible to extend/modify
these structures without affecting user ABI.

<title>openvswitch: Add support for unique flow IDs.</title>

<id>74ed7ab9264c54471c7f057409d352052820d750</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, flows were manipulated by userspace specifying a full,
unmasked flow key. This adds significant burden onto flow
serialization/deserialization, particularly when dumping flows.

This patch adds an alternative way to refer to flows using a
variable-length "unique flow identifier" (UFID). At flow setup time,
userspace may specify a UFID for a flow, which is stored with the flow
and inserted into a separate table for lookup, in addition to the
standard flow table. Flows created using a UFID must be fetched or
deleted using the UFID.

All flow dump operations may now be made more terse with OVS_UFID_F_*
flags. For example, the OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_KEY flag allows responses to
omit the flow key from a datapath operation if the flow has a
corresponding UFID. This significantly reduces the time spent assembling
and transacting netlink messages. With all OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_* flags
enabled, the datapath only returns the UFID and statistics for each flow
during flow dump, increasing ovs-vswitchd revalidator performance by 40%
or more.
