Store tunnel protocol (AF_INET or AF_INET6) in sw_flow_key. This field now
also acts as an indicator whether the flow contains tunnel data (this was
previously indicated by tun_key.u.ipv4.dst being set but with IPv6 addresses
in an union with IPv4 ones this won't work anymore).

The new field was added to a hole in sw_flow_key.

We can add rather add TUNNEL_IPV6 flag to distinguish IPv4 and IPv6
tunnel keys. This can be stored in ip_tunnel_key.tun_flags. That also
saves space in flow key.

I don't think this is right in the case of the mask. It will cause the
the mask to be the value AF_INET - instead you want to set the mask to
be 0xff.

Not really. This was my original approach, too, but openvswitch is not
the only user of struct ip_tunnel_key, and in the lwtunnel core,
tun_flags are handled in the way that makes this impractical. Most
importantly, the tun_flags value is directly taken from/stored to
LWTUNNEL_IP_FLAGS/LWTUNNEL_IP6_FLAGS netlink attributes in
net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c. This would mean complicated masking, etc.

> That also saves space in flow key.

The field was added to a 2 byte hole in the struct sw_flow_key (leaving
still 1 byte free), thus there's no additional space used.

I think you're right, this is a special case. I'll fix it.

Thanks,

How is it impractical ? Userspace can set flag for IPv6 tunnel info.
That should be easy.

IPv6 bit can not be masked anyways so I do not see problem with
masking this flag due to the new bit.

Since this field is exposed to userspace. TUNNEL_* flags needs to be
moved to uapi header.

I think he meant for non-OVS users.

This doesn't really seem all that desirable to me. It's nice to be
able to change these as necessary and in the particular case of IPv6,
it seems like something that the kernel can manage by itself (as is
done in this patch and I think the same strategy would apply
regardless of the particular representation).

Yes, I didn't mean masking in ovs, I meant that we'd need to hide the
bit from other users, for example in net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c.
Currently, the information about ip_tunnel_key protocol is stored
outside the structure. Changing this would mean quite big changes in
the lwtunnel code (or, rather, IP users of lwtunnel) which doesn't seem
worth it just because of ovs. Especially when ovs can store the
information just fine without impact on memory footprint.

I don't see any real advantage in storing the protocol inside
ip_tunnel_key, this looks like it would be just a change for the change.

User space can set and get those bits in LWTUNNEL_IP_FLAGS netlink
attribute when using lwtunnel+routing rules. It would make sense to
move them to uapi but that's for a different patch(set).
