This series patch optimize openvswitch for performance or simplify
codes.

Patch 1, 2, 4: Port Pravin B Shelar patches to
linux upstream with little changes.

Patch 5, 6, 7: Optimize the flow looking up and
simplify the flow hash.

Patch 8, 9: are bugfix.

The performance test is on Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4.
The test topology is show as below:

+-----------------------------------+
|   +---------------------------+   |
|   | eth0   ovs-switch    eth1 |   | Host0
|   +---------------------------+   |
+-----------------------------------+
       ^                       |
       |                       |
       |                       |
       |                       |
       |                       v
+-----+----+             +----+-----+
| netperf  | Host1       | netserver| Host2
+----------+             +----------+

We use netperf send the 64B packets, and insert 255+ flow-mask:
$ ovs-dpctl add-flow ovs-switch 
"in_port(1),eth(dst=00:01:00:00:00:00/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:01),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(frag=no)"
 2
...
$ ovs-dpctl add-flow ovs-switch 
"in_port(1),eth(dst=00:ff:00:00:00:00/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff),eth_type(0x0800),ipv4(frag=no)"
 2
$
$ netperf -t UDP_STREAM -H 2.2.2.200 -l 40 -- -m 18

* Without series patch, throughput 8.28Mbps
* With series patch, throughput 46.05Mbps

v2: simplify codes. e.g. use kfree_rcu instead of call_rcu, use
ma->count in the fastpath.
v3: update ma point when realloc mask_array in patch 5.

Tonghao Zhang (10):
   net: openvswitch: add flow-mask cache for performance
   net: openvswitch: convert mask list in mask array
   net: openvswitch: shrink the mask array if necessary
   net: openvswitch: optimize flow mask cache hash collision
   net: openvswitch: optimize flow-mask looking up
   net: openvswitch: simplify the flow_hash
   net: openvswitch: add likely in flow_lookup
   net: openvswitch: fix possible memleak on destroy flow-table
   net: openvswitch: don't unlock mutex when changing the user_features
     fails
   net: openvswitch: simplify the ovs_dp_cmd_new

Hi Tonghao,

I've tried this new patch series and it passes the kernel check test #63 now:
## ------------------------------- ##
## openvswitch 2.12.90 test suite. ##
## ------------------------------- ##
 63: conntrack - IPv6 fragmentation + vlan           ok

## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##
## ------------- ##

1 test was successful.

So I went ahead and ran the entire check-kernel testsuite and it ran fine with no regressions or
other problems.

You can go ahead and add my tested by tag to your patches.

Pravin's comments about the memory barrier are still valid I think.

Thanks,

- Greg
