there is a limit of 3 MPLS labels that are supported by Open vSwitch
we need to raise it at 5 labels, to implement a segment routing scenario

You can start with changing FLOW_MAX_MPLS_LABELS to 5.

Dear Pravin,

thanks for your hint, we have tried and we realized that we also need to change an assert in lib/flow.h

current code is
BUILD_ASSERT_DECL(offsetof(struct flow, igmp_group_ip4) + sizeof(uint32_t) == sizeof(struct flow_tnl) + 192 && FLOW_WC_SEQ == 31);

we need to change it into:
BUILD_ASSERT_DECL(offsetof(struct flow, igmp_group_ip4) + sizeof(uint32_t) == sizeof(struct flow_tnl) + 176 + (4 * ROUND_UP(FLOW_MAX_MPLS_LABELS, 2)) && FLOW_WC_SEQ == 31);

basically, we need to split the 192 bytes in a fixed part of 176 bytes and in a part that depends on the number of supported MPLS labels

we tried it, and it compiles and runs well :-)

do you think it is OK ? do you want us to provide a patch ?

thank you

ciao
Stefano & Pier Luigi



any help or suggestion is welcome!

I am trying on ovs-discuss list... may be the ovs-dev list is more
appropriate for this type of questions?

thank you

ciao
Stefano
