[ Upstream commit 598c12d0ba6de9060f04999746eb1e015774044b ]

When openvswitch tries allocate memory from offline numa node 0:
stats = kmem_cache_alloc_node(flow_stats_cache, GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, 0)
It catches VM_BUG_ON(nid &lt; 0 || nid &gt;= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_online(nid))
[ replaced with VM_WARN_ON(!node_online(nid)) recently ] in linux/gfp.h
This patch disables numa affinity in this case.

[ Upstream commit ae5f2fb1d51fa128a460bcfbe3c56d7ab8bf6a43 ]

When support for megaflows was introduced, OVS needed to start
installing flows with a mask applied to them. Since masking is an
expensive operation, OVS also had an optimization that would only
take the parts of the flow keys that were covered by a non-zero
mask. The values stored in the remaining pieces should not matter
because they are masked out.

While this works fine for the purposes of matching (which must always
look at the mask), serialization to netlink can be problematic. Since
the flow and the mask are serialized separately, the uninitialized
portions of the flow can be encoded with whatever values happen to be
present.

In terms of functionality, this has little effect since these fields
will be masked out by definition. However, it leaks kernel memory to
userspace, which is a potential security vulnerability. It is also
possible that other code paths could look at the masked key and get
uninitialized data, although this does not currently appear to be an
issue in practice.

This removes the mask optimization for flows that are being installed.
This was always intended to be the case as the mask optimizations were
really targetting per-packet flow operations.

<title>openvswitch: Fix L4 checksum handling when dealing with IP fragments</title>

openvswitch modifies the L4 checksum of a packet when modifying
the ip address. When an IP packet is fragmented only the first
fragment contains an L4 header and checksum. Prior to this change
openvswitch would modify all fragments, modifying application data
in non-first fragments, causing checksum failures in the
reassembled packet.

<title>openvswitch: allocate nr_node_ids flow_stats instead of num_possible_nodes</title>

<content type='text'>
Some architectures like POWER can have a NUMA node_possible_map that
contains sparse entries. This causes memory corruption with openvswitch
since it allocates flow_cache with a multiple of num_possible_nodes() and
assumes the node variable returned by for_each_node will index into
flow-&gt;stats[node].

Use nr_node_ids to allocate a maximal sparse array instead of
num_possible_nodes().

The crash was noticed after 3af229f2 was applied as it changed the
node_possible_map to match node_online_map on boot.

Currently, openvswitch tries to disable LRO from the user space. This does
not work correctly when the device added is a vlan interface, though.
Instead of dealing with possibly complex stacked cross name space relations
in the user space, do the same as bridging does and call dev_disable_lro in
the kernel.

<title>openvswitch: include datapath actions with sampled-packet upcall to userspace</title>

<id>ccea74457bbdafe33dce8bffcb5cb183aeb5f2bb</id>
<content type='text'>
If new optional attribute OVS_USERSPACE_ATTR_ACTIONS is added to an
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE action, then include the datapath actions
in the upcall.

This Directly associates the sampled packet with the path it takes
through the virtual switch. Path information currently includes mangling,
encapsulation and decapsulation actions for tunneling protocols GRE,
VXLAN, Geneve, MPLS and QinQ, but this extension requires no further
changes to accommodate datapath actions that may be added in the
future.

Adding path information enhances visibility into complex virtual
networks.
