Before this (and the previous) patch, whenever cfm_configure was

faulted status. This is a bug in and of itself, but normally would

infrequently (when the database changes). However due to an
unrelated bug, cfm_configure() was getting called approximately once
per second. This resulted in all monitors showing faults all of

When a strong reference to a non-root table is ephemeral, the database log

transaction but the reference to it will not be logged (because it is
ephemeral). Thus, any later occurrence of the row later in the log (to
modify it, to delete it, or just to reference it) will yield a transaction
error and reading the database will abort at that point.

xenserver: Wait for ovs-xapi-sync to exit in "stop" command.
It seems possible that "restart" or a quick application of "stop" then
"start" could kill ovs-xapi-sync without starting it again, if
ovs-xapi-sync takes a little while to die, long enough for the next
instance of it to see that its pidfile is still open and locked.
I hope that this fixes some odd races that we've noticed in the "restart"
command.

cfm: No longer keep track of bad remote MPs and MAIDS.
Ben pointed out that an attacker could cause OVS to use infinite
memory by sending a series of CCMs with different MAIDs. Each
message would cause a remote_maid to be allocated and stored for
several seconds.
Since Commit
1c2e2d2fc8 (cfm: Don't report unexpected remote
endpoints) no longer reports unexpected remote MAIDS and MPs in the
database, the only reason to keep track of this information is for
debugging purposes. In my judgment, it provides negligible useful
debugging information at the expense of significantly increased
code complexity. This commit rips it out entirely.

cfm: Don't report unexpected remote endpoints.
Before this patch, CFM would report unexpected remote maintenance
points in the database. This commit no longer exposes this
information.
Information about precisely why a link is faulty is more interesting
to a system administrator debugging a problem than a controller
which will generally only care about whether or not a link is
faulty. For simplicity sake, this commit removes this information
from the database where it was somewhat awkwardly placed. In the
future it may be valuable to report the information through
ovs-appctl commands for debugging purposes.

datapath: Add compatibility with sk_buff's vlan_tci before 2.6.33.
Between 2.6.27 and 2.6.32, the vlan_tci member of struct sk_buff was the
raw value of the 802.1Q header's TCI field, without the CFI bit being set.
In 2.6.33 and later, the CFI bit is always set if an 802.1Q header is
present, correcting a corner case.
Until now, OVS has not consistently dealt with this. If a packet arrived
at a datapath from a network device directly, or if it was set with an
ODP_ACTION_ATTR_SET_DL_TCI action, then the CFI bit would not be set in
vlan_tci. In flow_extract(), OVS copies vlan_tci directly to dl_tci in the
flow structure (via vlan_get_tci()), so the CFI bit would also not be set
in dl_tci. But if OVS had to send a packet up to userspace (converting the
vlan_tci back to an 802.1Q header along the way) and got it back, then it
would set the VLAN CFI bit in dl_tci when it parsed the 802.1Q header in
parse_vlan(). This had the effect that a flow set up by userspace (with
the CFI bit set) would never be matched by a packet arriving from a network
device, because they would have different dl_tci values.
This fixes the problem, by making the vlan_get_tci() and vlan_set_tci()
interface consistent across kernel versions. Now, they always accept or
return a value where the VLAN CFI bit is set if an 802.1Q header is
present.
Build-tested only.
