When updating post recirc rules, rule management requires calls to

mac-learning: Implement per-port MAC learning fairness.
In "MAC flooding", an attacker transmits an overwhelming number of frames
with unique Ethernet source address on a switch port. The goal is to
force the switch to evict all useful MAC learning table entries, so that
its behavior degenerates to that of a hub, flooding all traffic. In turn,
that allows an attacker to eavesdrop on the traffic of other hosts attached
to the switch, with all the risks that that entails.
Before this commit, the Open vSwitch "normal" action that implements its
standalone switch behavior (and that can be used by OpenFlow controllers
as well) was vulnerable to MAC flooding attacks. This commit fixes the
problem by implementing per-port fairness for MAC table entries: when
the MAC table is at its maximum size, MAC table eviction always deletes an
entry from the port with the most entries. Thus, MAC entries will never
be evicted from ports with only a few entries if a port with a huge number
of entries exists.
Controllers could introduce their own MAC flooding vulnerabilities into
OVS. For a controller that adds destination MAC based flows to an OpenFlow
flow table as a reaction to "packet-in" events, such a bug, if it exists,
would be in the controller code itself and would need to be fixed in the
controller. For a controller that relies on the Open vSwitch "learn"
action to add destination MAC based flows, Open vSwitch has existing
support for eviction policy similar to that implemented in this commit
through the "groups" column in the Flow_Table table documented in
ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5); we recommend that users of "learn" not already
familiar with eviction groups to read that documentation.
In addition to implementation of per-port MAC learning fairness,
this commit includes some closely related changes:
- Access to client-provided "port" data in struct mac_entry
is now abstracted through helper functions, which makes it
easier to ensure that the per-port data structures are maintained
consistently.
- The mac_learning_changed() function, which had become trivial,
vestigial, and confusing, was removed. Its functionality was folded
into the new function mac_entry_set_port().
- Many comments were added and improved; there had been a lot of
comment rot in previous versions.

vxlan: Group Policy extension
Implements supports for the Group Policy VXLAN extension [0] to provide
a lightweight and simple security label mechanism across network peers

to/from skb->mark. This allows further mapping to a SELinux context
using SECMARK, to implement ACLs directly with nftables, iptables, OVS,
tc, etc.
The group membership is defined by the lower 16 bits of skb->mark, the

SELinux allows to manage label to secure local resources. However,
distributed applications require ACLs to implemented across hosts. This
is typically achieved by matching on L2-L4 fields to identify the
original sending host and process on the receiver. On top of that,
netlabel and specifically CIPSO [1] allow to map security contexts to
universal labels. However, netlabel and CIPSO are relatively complex.
This patch provides a lightweight alternative for overlay network

This patch cleans up the header flags of VXLAN in anticipation of
defining some new ones:
- Move header related definitions from vxlan.c to vxlan.h
- Change VXLAN_FLAGS to be VXLAN_HF_VNI (only currently defined flag)
- Move check for unknown flags to after we find vxlan_sock, this
assumes that some flags may be processed based on tunnel
configuration
- Add a comment about why the stack treating unknown set flags as an
error instead of ignoring them

uses os.path.isfile("/dev/log"), which tests if the given path
is a regular file, to see if syslog can be usable.
However, /dev/log is not a regular file for platforms I looked at.
* On Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 6.5, /dev/log is a socket
* On NetBSD-6, /dev/log is a symlink to a socket
Replace the test with os.path.exists() so that it can work
as intended for these platforms.

datapath-windows: Solved BSOD when loading an activated extension
If the OVS extension was previously enabled and the driver unloaded,
when the driver is loaded again a BSOD is triggered.
This happens because the OVS extension registers its FilterXxx routines
to NDIS, by calling NdisFRegisterFilterDriver, before performing all
the necessary initialization. Because drivers that call
NdisFRegisterFilterDriver must be prepared for an immediate call to any
of their FilterXxx functions.
The BSOD is triggered because the FilterAttach routine, OvsExtAttach,
tries to acquire the control lock, when the lock is not yet initialized.
This happens because the FilterAttach is called before the driver
finishes initialization, in OvsInit().
The solution is to perform all necessary initialization before
registering OVS FilterXxx routines.
If device object creation fails, all allocated resources during init
phase are released by calling OvsCleanup and NdisFDeregisterFilterDriver
functions.

When Open vSwitch is run in hundreds of hypervisors, it is
useful to collect log messages through log collectors. To
collect log messages like this, it is useful to log them

log collectors can then be used to collect logs anytime
desired.
This commit provides a sysadmin the ability to specify the

This patch adds a basic infrastructure for developing and running

of useful unit tests for user space programs. It is desirable to
have corresponding kernel module unit tests.
This commit adds basic framework for adding kernel module tests. Like
user space unit tests, Kmod tests are based autotest framework, thus
are similar to existing unit tests. For references, kmod-traffic.at
contains a simple ping test.
"make check-kmod" can be invoked on any build machine as a root
user. Since kernel testing can potentially crash the kernel, it is
not recommended to run those tests directly on a development machine,
but rather a testing VM, such as ones can be launched by vagrant.
