From: Niti Rohilla <niti.rohilla@tcs.com>

"ovs-ofctl set-first-egress-table <SWITCH> <table_id>" can be used to set first egress
table.
This patch enhances TABLE_FEATURES_REQUEST message to set the first egress table and
TABLE_FEATURES_REPLY to identify the table which is configured as first egress table.

This appears to completely cut and paste and modify the OF1.3 table
features support, as well as all of the OF1.3 table features protocol
definitions.

This also hard-codes OFPAT_ values.

This also adds a global variable to a utility library.

None of this is acceptable.  Rejected.x

Hi Ben,

I can incorporate the egress table implemenation in OF1.3 table features
code and will remove the implementation added for OF1.5.

I will replace the pad[5] field in of13_table_features structure with
command and features field as specified in OF1.5.1 specifications. I can
also remove the ofp15_table_feature_prop_type enums, OF1.5 protocol
definition and code implementation added for the same. Kindly suggest is
this approach is fine.

I can replace the hard coded values for OFPAT_ with OFPACT_OUTPUT and
OFPACT_GROUP.

I have created a global variable "egress_table_id" that contain the table
id of first egress table. This variable is declared as global because I
need the first egress table id to add the checks in ofp-action.c file (in
ofpact_check__()) to prevent adding the output and group action in action
set of egress tables and to disallow the ingress flow tables to direct the
packet to egress flow tables via GOTO_TABLE instruction.

We need access to the ofproto structure in ofpact_check__().
ofpact_check__() is called from various places. One scenraio is,
ofp_print_flow_mod() -> ofputil_decode_flow_mod() ->
ofpacts_check_consistency() -> ofpacts_check() -> ofpact_check__(). We
don't have access to ofproto strcuture in ofp_print_flow_mod(). Please
suggest if there is any other possible way through which I can get the
first egress table id (stored in ofproto strcuture) in ofp-actions.c file.

I want to clarify one more doubt. In the 2nd patch, when a packet start
egress processing then output port is added to the action_set and we should
also set the actset_output variable. So can we directly add the output port
in action_set and actset_output or we should call xlate_write_action() to
add the output port in action_set and actset_output variable. Please
suggest which approach should be followed for this.

Thanks

OK.

ofp_print_flow_mod() doesn't need to know the real egress_table_id, so
you can use some default that will accept all flows.

I would add it directly.

Hi Ben,

With reference to global variable "egress_table_id", I have a doubt. I can
send '0' as the default value from ofp_print_flow_mod() to
ofpact_check__(). Right now, ofpact_check__() access the first egress table
id from global variable "egress_table_id", if I remove the global variable
then egress table id has to sent be from the all the functions that
internally call ofpact_check__(). For example,

ofctl_add_flow()->ofctl_flow_mod()->parse_ofp_flow_mod_str()->parse_ofp_str()->parse_ofp_str__()->ofpacts_check()->ofpact_check__()

In this hierarchy, first I have to get the first egress table from the
switch using fetch_table_features() and egress table id has to be sent from
ofctl_add_flow() and I need to change the definition of all the functions
to include one more parameter to send the first egress table id to
ofpact_check__().

Functions that modify the flows needs to first query the first egress table
from the switch and send it to ofpact_check__ and functions that only parse
flows for e.g ofctl_parse_flows() can send the default value i.e., but
definition of all the functions included in the hierarchy has to be changed
to include one more parameter. It requires changing the definition of many
functions.

That is why I have used the global variable. Please suggest which approach
should be followed.

Thanks

I don't think there's any need to check whether it's an egress table
along that path.  ovs-ofctl can try to insert the flow either way.

Regardless, a global variable is unacceptable.
