datapath: Don't orphan packets in dp_dev transmit path.
Before commit
72ca14c1 "datapath: Fix race against workqueue in dp_dev and
simplify code," the dp_dev network device had a device queue, and we would
orphan packets before sticking them on the queue. This screwed up socket
accounting a bit, but the effect was limited to the device queue length.
Now, after that commit, the dp_dev device has no device queue, but it still
orphans packets. This screws up socket accounting a *lot*, because the
effect is now unlimited, since there is no queue to limit it.
The solution is to not orphan packets at all. There is little need for it
now since packet transmission now happens immediately, not in a workqueue
whose execution may be delayed.
This should fix bug #1519, which tests "netperf -t UDP_STREAM" performance,
finding that an unrealistically high number of UDP packets could be sent
but that none at all were received. The send rate is due to the orphaning,
the receive rate presumably because at least one out of approx. 65535/1500
= 44 fragments per full packet were dropped in each case.

datapath: Fix race against workqueue in dp_dev and simplify code.
The dp_dev_destroy() function failed to cancel the xmit_queue work, which
allowed it to run after the device had been destroyed, accessing freed
memory. However, simply canceling the work with cancel_work_sync() would
be insufficient, since other packets could get queued while the work
function was running. Stopping the queue with netif_tx_disable() doesn't
help, because the final action in dp_dev_do_xmit() is to re-enable the TX
queue.
This issue led me to re-examine why the dp_dev needs to use a work_struct
at all. This was implemented in commit
71f13ed0b "Send of0 packets from
workqueue, to avoid recursive locking of ofN device" due to a complaint
from lockdep about recursive locking.
However, there's no actual reason that we need any locking around
dp_dev_xmit(). Until now, it has accepted the standard locking provided
by the network stack. But looking at the other software devices (veth,
loopback), those use NETIF_F_LLTX, which disables this locking, and
presumably do so for this very reason. In fact, the lwn article at
http://lwn.net/Articles/121566/ hints that NETIF_F_LLTX, which is otherwise
discouraged in the kernel, is acceptable for "certain types of software
device."
So this commit switches to using NETIF_F_LLTX for dp_dev and gets rid
of the work_struct.
In the process, I noticed that veth and loopback also take advantage of
a network device destruction "hook" using the net_device "destructor"
member. Using this we can automatically get called on network device
destruction at the point where rtnl_unlock() is called. This allows us
to stop stringing the dp_devs that are being destroyed onto a list so
that we can free them, and thus simplifies the code along all the paths
that call dp_dev_destroy().
This commit gets rid of a call to synchronize_rcu() (disguised as a call
to synchronize_net(), which is a macro that expands to synchronize_rcu()),
so it probably speeds up deleting ports, too.

datapath: Fix use-after-free error in datapath destruction.
When we create a datapath we do this:
1. Create local port.
2. Call add_dp hook.
3. Allow userspace to add more ports.
When we deleted a datapath we were doing this:
1. Call del_dp hook
2. Delete all the ports.
Unfortunately step 1 destroys dp->ifobj, then dp_del_port on any port other
than the local port in step 2 tries to reference dp->ifobj through a call
to sysfs_remove_link().
This commit fixes the problem by changing datapath deletion to mirror
creation:
1. Delete all the ports but the local port.
2. Call dp_del hook.
3. Delete local port.
Commit
010082639 "datapath: Add sysfs support for all (otherwise supported)
Linux versions" makes this problem obvious on a 2.6.25+ kernel configured
with slab debugging, because on such kernels the ifobj is a pointer to a
slab object that is freed by the del_dp hook function (when brcompat_mod
is loaded). This bug may be just as present on older kernels, but there
the ifobj is part of struct datapath, not a pointer, and thus it is much
harder to trigger.

secchan: Various fixes to run in-band on non-"local" port
The in-band control code assumed that we would connect to the controller
over the datapath's "local" port. If the switch had multiple datapaths,
and the controller was only available through one of them, the other
datapaths would fail to connect. This is addressed by the following
changes:
- The controller's MAC address is looked up through the connection's
interface instead of the datapath's local one.
- We allow ARP traffic to be sent by the connection's interface.
- We allow ARP traffic to be sent to the controller's MAC address.
This is necessary if the controller is running locally (e.g. in a VM).

over the management connection using bridge.<bridgename>.xs-network-uuids
configuration keys, but only now did we notice that this didn't get set for
internal networks.
The reason that it didn't get set is that interface-reconfigure is the
script that sets up these configuration keys, but interface-reconfigure
is never called for internal networks. Instead, xapi creates them itself
using directly calls to bridge ioctls. So no amount of tweaks to
interface-reconfigure will help.
This commit fixes the problem by modifying the vif script instead. This
works acceptably only because xapi is lazy about creating bridges for
internal networks: it creates them only just before it is about to add the
first vif to them. Thus, by setting up the configuration key in the vif
script, it gets added just after the bridge itself is created. There is
a race, of course, meaning that there may be a delay between the initial
OpenFlow connection and the time when the configuration key is set up,
but vNetManager can tolerate that.

vswitch: Enable bond slaves based on carrier status, not up/down.
Whether a bond slave is enabled should be based on whether the device's
PHY sees carrier, not based on whether the device is configured up or down.
(Note that a device that is configured down will always see "no carrier").
Otherwise a device that is up but has no carrier will initially be enabled,
which does not make sense.
This has no effect on interfaces that are not bond slaves, because the
"enabled" setting is used only by bond slaves.
Bug #1247.

xenserver: Bring up bond slave device before adding to bond.
Until now, we've added network devices to the ovs-vswitchd configuration
file before bringing them up. This works suboptimally for bond slaves,
because vswitchd takes the initial carrier state of the bond slaves as
whether to initially enable or disable them, and a device that is down
always reports "no carrier". So this commit changes interface-reconfigure
to bring up bond slaves before adding them to the configuration file,
which gives them a chance to detect carrier before vswitchd checks for it.
This might still be an imperfect situation, because it takes quite a while
(maybe 1 second?) for some network devices to detect carrier after being
brought up. But the kernel implementation of bonding seems to do the very
same thing, so we should be at least no worse than it.
Incidentally, this is only important for bonds that have long updelays.
XenServer uses an updelay of 31 seconds (!), so it is especially important
there.

vswitch: Send Xen UUIDs associated with system and networks
This commit sends information about Xen UUIDs to the controller through
the management connection. Specifically, it sends the XenServer UUID
and a list of network UUIDs associated with each datapath.
