From 971427f353f3c42c8dcef62e7124440df68eb809 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Zhou Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2014 19:37:25 -0700 Subject: openvswitch: Add recirc and hash action. Recirc action allows a packet to reenter openvswitch processing. currently openvswitch lookup flow for packet received and execute set of actions on that packet, with help of recirc action we can process/modify the packet and recirculate it back in openvswitch for another pass. OVS hash action calculates 5-tupple hash and set hash in flow-key hash. This can be used along with recirculation for distributing packets among different ports for bond devices. For example: OVS bonding can use following actions: Match on: bond flow; Action: hash, recirc(id) Match on: recirc-id == id and hash lower bits == a; Action: output port_bond_a Signed-off-by: Andy Zhou Acked-by: Jesse Gross Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar --- include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h b/include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h index a794d1dd7b40..f7fc507d82ab 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h @@ -289,6 +289,9 @@ enum ovs_key_attr { OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL, /* Nested set of ovs_tunnel attributes */ OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP, /* struct ovs_key_sctp */ OVS_KEY_ATTR_TCP_FLAGS, /* be16 TCP flags. */ + OVS_KEY_ATTR_DP_HASH, /* u32 hash value.
