dpif: Simplify the "listen mask" concept.
At one point in the past, there were three separate queues between the
kernel module and OVS userspace, each of which corresponded to a Netlink
socket (or, before that, to a character device). It made sense to allow
each of these to be enabled or disabled separately, hence the "listen mask"
concept in the dpif layer.
These days, the concept is much less clear-cut. Queuing is no longer on
the basis of different classes of packets but instead striped across a
collection of sockets based on input port. It doesn't really make sense
to enable receiving packets on the basis of the kind of packet anymore.
Accordingly, this commit simplifies the "listen_mask" to just a bool that
either enables or disables receiving packets.
It could be useful to enable or disable receiving packets on a per-vport
basis, but the rest of the code isn't ready to make use of that so this

datapath: Fix multipart datapath dumps.
The logic to split up the list of datapaths into multiple Netlink messages
was simply wrong, causing the list to be terminated after the first part.
Only about the first 50 datapaths would be dumped. This fixes the
problem.

ofproto-dpif: Keep subfacets longer to avoid assert-fail in facet_account().
If a subfacet expired when its facet still had statistics that had not

be called after the last subfacet was removed from its facet's list of

This fixes the problem by always running facet_flush_stats() (which calls
facet_account()) before deleting the last subfacet from a facet.

ofproto-dpif: Fix nondeterministic flow revalidation behavior.
SLB bonds are very strange beasts. It's taken OVS a while to figure out
how they should really work. Way back in the mists of time, when we were
in the midst of this process, we noticed that the following could happen:
1. Local VM sends a packet to the OVS bridge.
2. OVS bridge learns VM's MAC, forwards packets to SLB bond.
3. Remote switch hasn't learned packet's destination and
forwards packet back to other interfaces in the SLB bond.
Normally nothing bad happens in this scenario because OVS has already
learned the local port for the VM's MAC in step 2 and the rules for SLB
bonding (this is rule #2 in vswitchd/INTERNALS). But at the time we were
implementing this, OVS didn't yet use active flows to keep MAC learning
entries alive; only new flows prevented a MAC entry from aging out. So
in steady state (e.g. just "ping" traffic) OVS would regularly forget MAC
addresses. If the remote switch also happened to forward a packet back to
one of the SLB bond interfaces, then OVS would learn the VM's address on
the bond, with the result that any traffic coming in from the remote switch
would be black-holed until the VM sent a new packet. This was not good.
The fix we applied at the time was commit
2416b8ecea (bridge: Eject NORMAL
flows without a learning entry from datapath.) followed by a small
refinement in commit
e96a4d8035 (bridge: Feed flow stats into learning
table.). This fix causes flows that don't have a learning entry to be
ejected from the datapath if revalidation occurs. This forced the next
packet in the flow to go to userspace, which in turn caused learning to
happen, fixing the problem.
However, this isn't a good solution for several reasons:
* It forces more packets to userspace, which is expensive.
* It doesn't just affect the cases where it helps, those where an
SLB bond is actually involved. (This could be fixed, but it is
not worth it.)
* It means that flow installability becomes nondeterministic. When
the first packet shows up for a flow, we install it. But later
if we revalidate it, we have to uninstall it. That doesn't make
sense; a flow should be either installable or not installable,
not some weird mix.
Fortunately, the situation has improved since this fix was originally
designed. First, active flows now keep MAC learning entries alive, since
commit
e96a4d8035367 (bridge: Feed flow stats into learning table.)
Second, gratuitous ARP locking, added in commit
7febb9100b (bridge: Filter
some gratuitous ARPs on bond slaves.) means that gratuitous ARPs reflected
on bond slaves don't cause confusion (this is rule #4 in
vswitchd/INTERNALS).
These improvements mean that it is no longer necessary to have this
strange special case at all. Therefore, this commit removes it.
I found this while investigating reports from code that I added to
occasionally check that flow actions were correct.
