aae0b82b46 net: openvswitch: add psample action
Add support for a new action: psample.

This action accepts a u32 group id and a variable-length cookie and uses
the psample multicast group to make the packet available for
observability.

The maximum length of the user-defined cookie is set to 16, same as
tc_cookie, to discourage using cookies that will not be offloadable.

c0c3ab63de net: create nf_conntrack_ovs for ovs and tc use
Similar to nf_nat_ovs created by Commit ebddb14049 ("net: move the
nat function to nf_nat_ovs for ovs and tc"), this patch is to create
nf_conntrack_ovs to get these functions shared by OVS and TC only.

There are nf_ct_helper() and nf_ct_add_helper() from nf_conntrak_helper
in this patch, and will be more in the following patches.

ebddb14049 net: move the nat function to nf_nat_ovs for ovs and tc
There are two nat functions are nearly the same in both OVS and
TC code, (ovs_)ct_nat_execute() and ovs_ct_nat/tcf_ct_act_nat().

This patch creates nf_nat_ovs.c under netfilter and moves them
there then exports nf_ct_nat() so that it can be shared by both
OVS and TC, and keeps the nat (type) check and nat flag update
in OVS and TC's own place, as these parts are different between
OVS and TC.

Note that in OVS nat function it was using skb->protocol to get
the proto as it already skips vlans in key_extract(), while it
doesn't in TC, and TC has to call skb_protocol() to get proto.
So in nf_ct_nat_execute(), we keep using skb_protocol() which
works for both OVS and TC contrack.

a7f7f6248d treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'
Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

3bf195ae60 netfilter: nat: merge nf_nat_ipv4,6 into nat core
before:

after:

  22948    1612    4136   28696    7018 nf_nat.ko

... with ipv4/v6 nat now provided directly via nf_nat.ko.

Also changes:
       ret = nf_nat_ipv4_fn(priv, skb, state);
       if (ret != NF_DROP && ret != NF_STOLEN &&
into
	if (ret != NF_ACCEPT)
		return ret;

everywhere.

The nat hooks never should return anything other than
ACCEPT or DROP (and the latter only in rare error cases).

The original code uses multi-line ANDing including assignment-in-if:
        if (ret != NF_DROP && ret != NF_STOLEN &&
           !(IPCB(skb)->flags & IPSKB_XFRM_TRANSFORMED) &&
            (ct = nf_ct_get(skb, &ctinfo)) != NULL) {

I removed this while moving, breaking those in separate conditionals
and moving the assignments into extra lines.

checkpatch still generates some warnings:
 1. Overly long lines (of moved code).
    Breaking them is even more ugly. so I kept this as-is.
 2. use of extern function declarations in a .c file.
    This is necessary evil, we must call
    nf_nat_l3proto_register() from the nat core now.
    All l3proto related functions are removed later in this series,
    those prototypes are then removed as well.

v2: keep empty nf_nat_ipv6_csum_update stub for CONFIG_IPV6=n case.
v3: remove IS_ENABLED(NF_NAT_IPV4/6) tests, NF_NAT_IPVx toggles
    are removed here.
v4: also get rid of the assignments in conditionals.

11efd5cb04 openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit
Currently, nf_conntrack_max is used to limit the maximum number of
conntrack entries in the conntrack table for every network namespace.
For the VMs and containers that reside in the same namespace,
they share the same conntrack table, and the total # of conntrack entries
for all the VMs and containers are limited by nf_conntrack_max.  In this
case, if one of the VM/container abuses the usage the conntrack entries,
it blocks the others from committing valid conntrack entries into the
conntrack table.  Even if we can possibly put the VM in different network
namespace, the current nf_conntrack_max configuration is kind of rigid
that we cannot limit different VM/container to have different # conntrack
entries.

To address the aforementioned issue, this patch proposes to have a
fine-grained mechanism that could further limit the # of conntrack entries
per-zone.  For example, we can designate different zone to different VM,
and set conntrack limit to each zone.  By providing this isolation, a
mis-behaved VM only consumes the conntrack entries in its own zone, and
it will not influence other well-behaved VMs.  Moreover, the users can
set various conntrack limit to different zone based on their preference.

The proposed implementation utilizes Netfilter's nf_conncount backend
to count the number of connections in a particular zone.  If the number of
connection is above a configured limitation, ovs will return ENOMEM to the
userspace.  If userspace does not configure the zone limit, the limit
defaults to zero that is no limitation, which is backward compatible to
the behavior without this patch.

The following high leve APIs are provided to the userspace:
  - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_SET:
    * set default connection limit for all zones
    * set the connection limit for a particular zone
  - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_DEL:
    * remove the connection limit for a particular zone
  - OVS_CT_LIMIT_CMD_GET:
    * get the default connection limit for all zones
    * get the connection limit for a particular zone

99b7248e2a openvswitch: call only into reachable nf-nat code
The openvswitch code has gained support for calling into the
nf-nat-ipv4/ipv6 modules, however those can be loadable modules
in a configuration in which openvswitch is built-in, leading
to link errors:

net/built-in.o: In function `__ovs_ct_lookup':
:(.text+0x2cc2c8): undefined reference to `nf_nat_icmp_reply_translation'
:(.text+0x2cc66c): undefined reference to `nf_nat_icmpv6_reply_translation'

The dependency on (!NF_NAT || NF_NAT) prevents similar issues,
but NF_NAT is set to 'y' if any of the symbols selecting
it are built-in, but the link error happens when any of them
are modular.

A second issue is that even if CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV6 is built-in,
CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV4 might be completely disabled. This is unlikely
to be useful in practice, but the driver currently only handles
IPv6 being optional.

This patch improves the Kconfig dependency so that openvswitch
cannot be built-in if either of the two other symbols are set
to 'm', and it replaces the incorrect #ifdef in ovs_ct_nat_execute()
with two "if (IS_ENABLED())" checks that should catch all corner
cases also make the code more readable.

The same #ifdef exists ovs_ct_nat_to_attr(), where it does not
cause a link error, but for consistency I'm changing it the same
way.

05752523e5 openvswitch: Interface with NAT.
Extend OVS conntrack interface to cover NAT.  New nested
OVS_CT_ATTR_NAT attribute may be used to include NAT with a CT action.
A bare OVS_CT_ATTR_NAT only mangles existing and expected connections.
If OVS_NAT_ATTR_SRC or OVS_NAT_ATTR_DST is included within the nested
attributes, new (non-committed/non-confirmed) connections are mangled
according to the rest of the nested attributes.

The corresponding OVS userspace patch series includes test cases (in
tests/system-traffic.at) that also serve as example uses.

7f8a436eaa openvswitch: Add conntrack action
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.

f579668406 openvswitch: Add support for Geneve tunneling.
The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options
that are in use and can handle newly defined options without
further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array
of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

a175a72330 openvswitch: Add SCTP support
This patch adds support for rewriting SCTP src,dst ports similar to the
functionality already available for TCP/UDP.

Rewriting SCTP ports is expensive due to double-recalculation of the
SCTP checksums; this is performed to ensure that packets traversing OVS
with invalid checksums will continue to the destination with any
checksum corruption intact.

aa310701e7 openvswitch: Add gre tunnel support.
Add gre vport implementation.  Most of gre protocol processing
is pushed to gre module. It make use of gre demultiplexer
therefore it can co-exist with linux device based gre tunnels.

ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
