William Tu June 2, 2016, 5:50 a.m. UTC
The patch adds a new action to support packet truncation.  The new action
is formatted as 'output(port=n,max_len=m)', as output to port n, with
packet size being MIN(original_size, m).

One use case is to enable port mirroring to send smaller packets to the
destination port so that only useful packet information is mirrored/copied,
saving some performance overhead of copying entire packet payload.  Example
use case is below as well as shown in the testcases:

    - Output to port 1 with max_len 100 bytes.
    - The output packet size on port 1 will be MIN(original_packet_size, 100).
    # ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 'actions=output(port=1,max_len=100)'

    - The scope of max_len is limited to output action itself.  The following
      packet size of output:1 and output:2 will be intact.
    # ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 \
            'actions=output(port=1,max_len=100),output:1,output:2'
    - The Datapath actions shows:
    # Datapath actions: trunc(100),1,1,2

Implementation/Limitaions:
    - The patch adds a new OpenFlow extension action OFPACT_OUTPUT_TRUNC, and
      a new datapath action, OVS_ACTION_ATTR_TRUNC. An OFPACT_OUTPUT_TRUNC
      will translate into a datapath truncate action, followed by a datapath
      output action.
    - The OVS_ACTION_ATTR_TRUNC action only marks the packet with a truncate
      size (max_len).  Actual truncation happens when the packet is about to
      be transmitted.
    - Only "output(port=[0-9]*,max_len=<N>)" is supported.  Output to any
      OFPUTIL_NAMED_PORTS or patch port are not supported.
    - Compatibility: If the openvswitch kernel module does not support
      OVS_ACTION_ATTR_TRUNC, it falls back to userspace slow path, do the
      packet truncation and send to the output port.

v4->v5
- disallow truncate and output to a patch port
- add additional testcases 
- fix sparse warnings
v4: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/626486/

v3->v4
- Save the bytes to removed in datapath, instead of max_len
- Fix issues in test cases
- Add truncate support when upcall to userspace
v3: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/618573/

v2->v3
- Separate the truncate action and output action in datapath.
- Add truncate support for tunnel push and pop.
- Fix clang error.
- Use pskb_trim instead of skb_trim.
- Fallback to userspace truncate action when the
  openvswitch kernel module does not support.
- Disallow truncate port to be any OFPUTIL_NAMED_PORTS.
- Add more testcases.
v2: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/605082/
