datapath: Ignore return value from rtnl_notify().
In Linux 2.6.30, the rtnl_notify() return type was changed from int to
void along with the following commit message:
This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.
Thus there's no point in checking the return value, even in older versions
of the kernel, and so this commit changes our code to ignore it, even
on older kernel versions. We also update the rtnl_notify() wrapper macros
to make the return type void on older kernel versions.
This has not been tested, just built.
Thanks to Mikio for spurring me to try building with Linux 2.6.29 and
2.6.30.

Don't accept unix: connections, etc. in OpenFlow controller discovery.
The controller discovery code has always had the capability to whitelist
only certain types of controller locations. Until now, we have only taken
advantage of this when SSL is enabled (so that all OpenFlow connections are
authenticated with SSL if SSL is configured).
However, it occurs to me that making the section of connections entirely
unrestricted is too permissive. An attacker could make the vswitch connect
to an arbitrary Unix domain socket, for example. I don't have a
description of how this is an exploitable security vulnerability, but it
seems entirely too lax.
So: this commit changes the default to allowing only TCP connections to
controller in the non-SSL case.

xenserver: Pass network UUID to controller for internal networks too.
vNetManager needs to know the xapi UUIDs for the networks that correspond
to OpenFlow connections. For some time now we have passed these to it
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: Fix handling of multicast packets received by bonds.
As long as bonding has been implemented, the vswitch has refused to learn
from multicast packets that arrive on a bond slave if it has already
learned any other port for that source MAC, because it is likely that we
sent the packet out ourselves and are only now receiving a copy of it on
our active slave.
This is entirely correct, but it does not go far enough. In fact, the
bridge needs to entirely drop such packets. Otherwise, a host whose MAC
is assigned to a slave other than the active slave will receive a second
copy of multicast packets that it sends out the bond, and other ports
will receive two copies of every multicast packet sent by such a host.
This commit implements this new policy, which simplifies the code at the
same time.

vswitch: Clarify what "ingress" means in policing
The man page for ovs-vswitchd.conf explains how ingress policing works.

vswitch: Send gratuitous learning packets when bond slaves go down.
When a bond slave goes down, all of the MACs that were on it are migrated
to another slave, but this is not apparent to the switch that the bond is
connected to until each MAC sends out a packet. This causes incoming
traffic for a given MAC to be dropped until the MAC sends out a packet.
This is not usually a problem, because traffic is not ordinarily one-way,
and we can't avoid losing some packets in some cases, but we can do a
little better by sending out a gratuitous learning packet on the new slave
as soon as we know about it, and that is what this commit implements.

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.
