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:
+-----------------------------------+

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
v3->v4:
access ma->count with READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE API. More information,
see patch 5 comments.
v2->v3:
update ma point when realloc mask_array in patch 5.
v1->v2:
use kfree_rcu instead of call_rcu
Tonghao Zhang (10):
