51 *
52 * Ofproto-dpif provides an ofproto implementation for those platforms which
53 * implement the netdev and dpif interface defined in netdev.h and dpif.h. The
54 * most important of which is the Linux Kernel Module (dpif-linux), but
55 * alternatives are supported such as a userspace only implementation
56 * (dpif-netdev), and a dummy implementation used for unit testing.
57 *
58 * Ofproto-dpif is divided into three major chunks.
59 *
60 * - ofproto-dpif.c
61 * The main ofproto-dpif module is responsible for implementing the
62 * provider interface, installing and removing datapath flows, maintaining
63 * packet statistics, running protocols (BFD, LACP, STP, etc), and
64 * configuring relevant submodules.
65 *
66 * - ofproto-dpif-upcall.c
67 * Ofproto-dpif-upcall is responsible for retrieving upcalls from the kernel,
68 * processing miss upcalls, and handing more complex ones up to the main
69 * ofproto-dpif module. Miss upcall processing boils down to figuring out
70 * what each packet's actions are, executing them (i.e. asking the kernel to
71 * forward it), and handing it up to ofproto-dpif to decided whether or not
72 * to install a kernel flow.
73 *
74 * - ofproto-dpif-xlate.c
75 * Ofproto-dpif-xlate is responsible for translating translating OpenFlow
76 * actions into datapath actions. */

139 * Recirculation
140 * =============
141 *
142 * Recirculation is a technique to allow a frame to re-enter the packet
143 * processing path for one or multiple times to achieve more flexible packet
144 * processing in the data path. MPLS handling and selecting bond slave port
145 * of a bond ports.
146 *
147 * Data path and user space interface
148 * -----------------------------------
149 *
150 * Two new fields, recirc_id and dp_hash, are added to the current flow data
151 * structure. They are both of type uint32_t. In addition, a new action,
152 * RECIRC, are added.
153 *
154 * The value recirc_id is used to distinguish a packet from multiple
155 * iterations of recirculation. A packet initially received is considered of
156 * having recirc_id of 0. Recirc_id is managed by the user space, opaque to
157 * the data path.
158 *
159 * On the other hand, dp_hash can only be computed by the data path, opaque to
160 * the user space. In fact, user space may not able to recompute the hash
161 * value. The dp_hash value should be wildcarded when for a newly received
162 * packet. RECIRC action specifies whether the hash is computed. If computed,
163 * how many fields to be included in the hash computation. The computed hash
164 * value is stored into the dp_hash field prior to recirculation.
165 *
166 * The RECIRC action computes and set the dp_hash field, set the recirc_id
167 * field and then reprocess the packet as if it was received on the same input
168 * port. RECIRC action works like a function call; actions listed behind the
169 * RECIRC action will be executed after its execution. RECIRC action can be
170 * nested, data path implementation limits the number of recirculation executed
171 * to prevent unreasonable nesting depth or infinite loop.
172 *
173 * Both flow fields and the RECIRC action are exposed as open flow fields via
174 * Nicira extensions.
175 *
176 * Post recirculation flow
177 * ------------------------
178 *
179 * At the open flow level, post recirculation rules are always hidden from the
180 * controller. They are installed in table 254 which is set up as a hidden
181 * table during boot time. Those rules are managed by the local user space
182 * program only.
183 *
184 * To speed up the classifier look up process, recirc_id is always reflected
185 * into the metadata field, since recirc_id is required to be exactly matched.
186 *
187 * Classifier look up always starts with table 254. A post recirculation flow
188 * lookup should find its hidden rule within this table. On the other hand, A
189 * newly received packet should miss all post recirculation rules because its
190 * recirc_id is zero, then hit a pre-installed lower priority rule to redirect
191 * classifier to look up starting from table 0:
192 *
193 * * , actions=resubmit(,0)
194 *
195 * Post recirculation data path flows are managed like other data path flows.
196 * They are created on demand. Miss handling, stats collection and revalidation
197 * work the same way as regular flows.
