/* Flow classifier.
*
*
* What?
* =====
*
* A flow classifier holds any number of "rules", each of which specifies
* values to match for some fields or subfields and a priority. Each OpenFlow
* table is implemented as a flow classifier.
*
* The classifier has two primary design goals. The first is obvious: given a
* set of packet headers, as quickly as possible find the highest-priority rule
* that matches those headers. The following section describes the second
* goal.
*
*
* "Un-wildcarding"
* ================
*
* A primary goal of the flow classifier is to produce, as a side effect of a
* packet lookup, a wildcard mask that indicates which bits of the packet
* headers were essential to the classification result. Ideally, a 1-bit in
* any position of this mask means that, if the corresponding bit in the packet
* header were flipped, then the classification result might change. A 0-bit
* means that changing the packet header bit would have no effect. Thus, the
* wildcarded bits are the ones that played no role in the classification
* decision.
*
* Such a wildcard mask is useful with datapaths that support installing flows
* that wildcard fields or subfields. If an OpenFlow lookup for a TCP flow
* does not actually look at the TCP source or destination ports, for example,
* then the switch may install into the datapath a flow that wildcards the port
* numbers, which in turn allows the datapath to handle packets that arrive for
* other TCP source or destination ports without additional help from
* ovs-vswitchd. This is useful for the Open vSwitch software and,
* potentially, for ASIC-based switches as well.
*
* Some properties of the wildcard mask:
*
* - "False 1-bits" are acceptable, that is, setting a bit in the wildcard
* mask to 1 will never cause a packet to be forwarded the wrong way.
* As a corollary, a wildcard mask composed of all 1-bits will always
* yield correct (but often needlessly inefficient) behavior.
*
* - "False 0-bits" can cause problems, so they must be avoided. In the
* extreme case, a mask of all 0-bits is only correct if the classifier
* contains only a single flow that matches all packets.
*
* - 0-bits are desirable because they allow the datapath to act more
* autonomously, relying less on ovs-vswitchd to process flow setups,
* thereby improving performance.
*
* - We don't know a good way to generate wildcard masks with the maximum
* (correct) number of 0-bits. We use various approximations, described
* in later sections.
*
* - Wildcard masks for lookups in a given classifier yield a
* non-overlapping set of rules. More specifically:
*
* Consider an classifier C1 filled with an arbitrary collection of rules
* and an empty classifier C2. Now take a set of packet headers H and
* look it up in C1, yielding a highest-priority matching rule R1 and
* wildcard mask M. Form a new classifier rule R2 out of packet headers
* H and mask M, and add R2 to C2 with a fixed priority. If one were to
* do this for every possible set of packet headers H, then this
* process would not attempt to add any overlapping rules to C2, that is,
* any packet lookup using the rules generated by this process matches at
* most one rule in C2.
*
* During the lookup process, the classifier starts out with a wildcard mask
* that is all 0-bits, that is, fully wildcarded. As lookup proceeds, each
* step tends to add constraints to the wildcard mask, that is, change
* wildcarded 0-bits into exact-match 1-bits. We call this "un-wildcarding".
* A lookup step that examines a particular field must un-wildcard that field.
* In general, un-wildcarding is necessary for correctness but undesirable for
* performance.
*
*
* Basic Classifier Design
* =======================
*
* Suppose that all the rules in a classifier had the same form. For example,
* suppose that they all matched on the source and destination Ethernet address
* and wildcarded all the other fields. Then the obvious way to implement a
* classifier would be a hash table on the source and destination Ethernet
* addresses. If new classification rules came along with a different form,
* you could add a second hash table that hashed on the fields matched in those
* rules. With two hash tables, you look up a given flow in each hash table.
* If there are no matches, the classifier didn't contain a match; if you find
* a match in one of them, that's the result; if you find a match in both of
* them, then the result is the rule with the higher priority.
*
* This is how the classifier works. In a "struct classifier", each form of
* "struct cls_rule" present (based on its ->match.mask) goes into a separate
* "struct cls_subtable". A lookup does a hash lookup in every "struct
* cls_subtable" in the classifier and tracks the highest-priority match that
* it finds. The subtables are kept in a descending priority order according
* to the highest priority rule in each subtable, which allows lookup to skip
* over subtables that can't possibly have a higher-priority match than already
* found. Eliminating lookups through priority ordering aids both classifier
* primary design goals: skipping lookups saves time and avoids un-wildcarding
* fields that those lookups would have examined.
*
* One detail: a classifier can contain multiple rules that are identical other
* than their priority. When this happens, only the highest priority rule out
* of a group of otherwise identical rules is stored directly in the "struct
* cls_subtable", with the other almost-identical rules chained off a linked
* list inside that highest-priority rule.
*
* The following sub-sections describe various optimizations over this simple
* approach.
*
*
* Staged Lookup (Wildcard Optimization)
* -------------------------------------
*
* Subtable lookup is performed in ranges defined for struct flow, starting
* from metadata (registers, in_port, etc.), then L2 header, L3, and finally
* L4 ports. Whenever it is found that there are no matches in the current
* subtable, the rest of the subtable can be skipped.
*
* Staged lookup does not reduce lookup time, and it may increase it, because
* it changes a single hash table lookup into multiple hash table lookups.
* It reduces un-wildcarding significantly in important use cases.
*
*
* Prefix Tracking (Wildcard Optimization)
* ---------------------------------------
*
* Classifier uses prefix trees ("tries") for tracking the used
* address space, enabling skipping classifier tables containing
* longer masks than necessary for the given address. This reduces
* un-wildcarding for datapath flows in parts of the address space
* without host routes, but consulting extra data structures (the
* tries) may slightly increase lookup time.
*
* Trie lookup is interwoven with staged lookup, so that a trie is
* searched only when the configured trie field becomes relevant for
* the lookup. The trie lookup results are retained so that each trie
* is checked at most once for each classifier lookup.
*
* This implementation tracks the number of rules at each address
* prefix for the whole classifier. More aggressive table skipping
* would be possible by maintaining lists of tables that have prefixes
* at the lengths encountered on tree traversal, or by maintaining
* separate tries for subsets of rules separated by metadata fields.
*
* Prefix tracking is configured via OVSDB "Flow_Table" table,
* "prefixes" column. "prefixes" is a string set where each element
* is a name of a field that should be used for prefix tracking.
*
* There is a maximum number of fields that can be enabled for any one
* flow table. Currently this limit is 4.
*
*
* Partitioning (Lookup Time and Wildcard Optimization)
* ----------------------------------------------------
*
* Suppose that a given classifier is being used to handle multiple stages in a
* pipeline using "resubmit", with metadata (that is, the OpenFlow 1.1+ field
* named "metadata") distinguishing between the different stages. For example,
* metadata value 1 might identify ingress rules, metadata value 2 might
* identify ACLs, and metadata value 3 might identify egress rules. Such a
* classifier is essentially partitioned into multiple sub-classifiers on the
* basis of the metadata value.
*
* The classifier has a special optimization to speed up matching in this
* scenario:
*
* - Each cls_subtable that matches on metadata gets a tag derived from the
* subtable's mask, so that it is likely that each subtable has a unique
* tag. (Duplicate tags have a performance cost but do not affect
* correctness.)
*
* - For each metadata value matched by any cls_rule, the classifier
* constructs a "struct cls_partition" indexed by the metadata value.
* The cls_partition has a 'tags' member whose value is the bitwise-OR of
* the tags of each cls_subtable that contains any rule that matches on
* the cls_partition's metadata value. In other words, struct
* cls_partition associates metadata values with subtables that need to
* be checked with flows with that specific metadata value.
*
* Thus, a flow lookup can start by looking up the partition associated with
* the flow's metadata, and then skip over any cls_subtable whose 'tag' does
* not intersect the partition's 'tags'. (The flow must also be looked up in
* any cls_subtable that doesn't match on metadata. We handle that by giving
* any such cls_subtable TAG_ALL as its 'tags' so that it matches any tag.)
*
* Partitioning saves lookup time by reducing the number of subtable lookups.
* Each eliminated subtable lookup also reduces the amount of un-wildcarding.
*
*
* Classifier Versioning
* =====================
*
* Classifier lookups are always done in a specific classifier version, where
* a version is defined to be a natural number.
*
* When a new rule is added to a classifier, it is set to become visible in a
* specific version. If the version number used at insert time is larger than
* any version number currently used in lookups, the new rule is said to be
* invisible to lookups. This means that lookups won't find the rule, but the
* rule is immediately available to classifier iterations.
*
* Similarly, a rule can be marked as to be deleted in a future version. To
* delete a rule in a way to not remove the rule before all ongoing lookups are
* finished, the rule should be made invisible in a specific version number.
* Then, when all the lookups use a later version number, the rule can be
* actually removed from the classifier.
*
* Classifiers can hold duplicate rules (rules with the same match criteria and
* priority) when at most one of these duplicates is visible in any given
* lookup version. The caller responsible for classifier modifications must
* maintain this invariant.
*
* The classifier supports versioning for two reasons:
*
* 1. Support for versioned modifications makes it possible to perform an
* arbitrary series of classifier changes as one atomic transaction,
* where intermediate versions of the classifier are not visible to any
* lookups. Also, when a rule is added for a future version, or marked
* for removal after the current version, such modifications can be
* reverted without any visible effects to any of the current lookups.
*
* 2. Performance: Adding (or deleting) a large set of rules can, in
* pathological cases, have a cost proportional to the number of rules
* already in the classifier. When multiple rules are being added (or
* deleted) in one go, though, this pathological case cost can be
* typically avoided, as long as it is OK for any new rules to be
* invisible until the batch change is complete.
*
* Note that the classifier_replace() function replaces a rule immediately, and
* is therefore not safe to use with versioning. It is still available for the
* users that do not use versioning.
*
*
* Deferred Publication
* ====================
*
* Removing large number of rules from classifier can be costly, as the
* supporting data structures are teared down, in many cases just to be
* re-instantiated right after. In the worst case, as when each rule has a
* different match pattern (mask), the maintenance of the match patterns can
* have cost O(N^2), where N is the number of different match patterns. To
* alleviate this, the classifier supports a "deferred mode", in which changes
* in internal data structures needed for future version lookups may not be
* fully computed yet. The computation is finalized when the deferred mode is
* turned off.
*
* This feature can be used with versioning such that all changes to future
* versions are made in the deferred mode. Then, right before making the new
* version visible to lookups, the deferred mode is turned off so that all the
* data structures are ready for lookups with the new version number.
*
* To use deferred publication, first call classifier_defer(). Then, modify
* the classifier via additions (classifier_insert() with a specific, future
* version number) and deletions (use cls_rule_make_removable_after_version()).
* Then call classifier_publish(), and after that, announce the new version
* number to be used in lookups.
*
*
* Thread-safety
* =============
*
* The classifier may safely be accessed by many reader threads concurrently
* and by a single writer, or by multiple writers when they guarantee mutually
* exclusive access to classifier modifications.
*
* Since the classifier rules are RCU protected, the rule destruction after
* removal from the classifier must be RCU postponed. Also, when versioning is
* used, the rule removal itself needs to be typically RCU postponed. In this
* case the rule destruction is doubly RCU postponed, i.e., the second
* ovsrcu_postpone() call to destruct the rule is called from the first RCU
* callback that removes the rule.
*
* Rules that have never been visible to lookups are an exception to the above
* rule. Such rules can be removed immediately, but their destruction must
* still be RCU postponed, as the rule's visibility attribute may be examined
* parallel to the rule's removal. */
