net: openvswitch: fix to make sure flow_lookup() is not preempted

The flow_lookup() function uses per CPU variables, which must be called
with BH disabled. However, this is fine in the general NAPI use case
where the local BH is disabled. But, it's also called from the netlink
context. The below patch makes sure that even in the netlink path, the
BH is disabled.

In addition, u64_stats_update_begin() requires a lock to ensure one writer
which is not ensured here. Making it per-CPU and disabling NAPI (softirq)
ensures that there is always only one writer.

net: openvswitch: reorder masks array based on usage

This patch reorders the masks array every 4 seconds based on their
usage count. This greatly reduces the masks per packet hit, and
hence the overall performance. Especially in the OVS/OVN case for
OpenShift.

Here are some results from the OVS/OVN OpenShift test, which use
8 pods, each pod having 512 uperf connections, each connection
sends a 64-byte request and gets a 1024-byte response (TCP).
All uperf clients are on 1 worker node while all uperf servers are
on the other worker node.

Kernel without this patch : 7.71 Gbps
Kernel with this patch applied: 14.52 Gbps

We also run some tests to verify the rebalance activity does not
lower the flow insertion rate, which does not.

openvswitch: Zero flows on allocation.

When support for megaflows was introduced, OVS needed to start
installing flows with a mask applied to them. Since masking is an
expensive operation, OVS also had an optimization that would only
take the parts of the flow keys that were covered by a non-zero
mask. The values stored in the remaining pieces should not matter
because they are masked out.

While this works fine for the purposes of matching (which must always
look at the mask), serialization to netlink can be problematic. Since
the flow and the mask are serialized separately, the uninitialized
portions of the flow can be encoded with whatever values happen to be
present.

In terms of functionality, this has little effect since these fields
will be masked out by definition. However, it leaks kernel memory to
userspace, which is a potential security vulnerability. It is also
possible that other code paths could look at the masked key and get
uninitialized data, although this does not currently appear to be an
issue in practice.

This removes the mask optimization for flows that are being installed.
This was always intended to be the case as the mask optimizations were
really targetting per-packet flow operations.

openvswitch: Add support for unique flow IDs.

Previously, flows were manipulated by userspace specifying a full,
unmasked flow key. This adds significant burden onto flow
serialization/deserialization, particularly when dumping flows.

This patch adds an alternative way to refer to flows using a
variable-length "unique flow identifier" (UFID). At flow setup time,
userspace may specify a UFID for a flow, which is stored with the flow
and inserted into a separate table for lookup, in addition to the
standard flow table. Flows created using a UFID must be fetched or
deleted using the UFID.

All flow dump operations may now be made more terse with OVS_UFID_F_*
flags. For example, the OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_KEY flag allows responses to
omit the flow key from a datapath operation if the flow has a
corresponding UFID. This significantly reduces the time spent assembling
and transacting netlink messages. With all OVS_UFID_F_OMIT_* flags
enabled, the datapath only returns the UFID and statistics for each flow
during flow dump, increasing ovs-vswitchd revalidator performance by 40%
or more.

openvswitch: Use exact lookup for flow_get and flow_del.

Due to the race condition in userspace, there is chance that two
overlapping megaflows could be installed in datapath. And this
causes userspace unable to delete the less inclusive megaflow flow
even after it timeout, since the flow_del logic will stop at the
first match of masked flow.

This commit fixes the bug by making the kernel flow_del and flow_get
logic check all masks in that case.

Introduced by 03f0d916a (openvswitch: Mega flow implementation).

openvswitch: Per NUMA node flow stats.

Keep kernel flow stats for each NUMA node rather than each (logical)
CPU. This avoids using the per-CPU allocator and removes most of the
kernel-side OVS locking overhead otherwise on the top of perf reports
and allows OVS to scale better with higher number of threads.

With 9 handlers and 4 revalidators netperf TCP_CRR test flow setup
rate doubles on a server with two hyper-threaded physical CPUs (16
logical cores each) compared to the current OVS master. Tested with
non-trivial flow table with a TCP port match rule forcing all new
connections with unique port numbers to OVS userspace. The IP
addresses are still wildcarded, so the kernel flows are not considered
as exact match 5-tuple flows. This type of flows can be expected to
appear in large numbers as the result of more effective wildcarding
made possible by improvements in OVS userspace flow classifier.

Perf results for this test (master):

There is a small increase in kernel spinlock overhead due to the same
spinlock being shared between multiple cores of the same physical CPU,
but that is barely visible in the netperf TCP_CRR test performance
(maybe ~1% performance drop, hard to tell exactly due to variance in
the test results), when testing for kernel module throughput (with no
userspace activity, handful of kernel flows).

On flow setup, a single stats instance is allocated (for the NUMA node
0). As CPUs from multiple NUMA nodes start updating stats, new
NUMA-node specific stats instances are allocated. This allocation on
the packet processing code path is made to never block or look for
emergency memory pools, minimizing the allocation latency. If the
allocation fails, the existing preallocated stats instance is used.
Also, if only CPUs from one NUMA-node are updating the preallocated
stats instance, no additional stats instances are allocated. This
eliminates the need to pre-allocate stats instances that will not be
used, also relieving the stats reader from the burden of reading stats
that are never used.

openvswitch: Per cpu flow stats.

With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between
multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended
operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow
is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple
and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations,
it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time.

net: openvswitch: fix to make sure flow_lookup() is not preempted

The flow_lookup() function uses per CPU variables, which must be called
with BH disabled. However, this is fine in the general NAPI use case
where the local BH is disabled. But, it's also called from the netlink
context. The below patch makes sure that even in the netlink path, the
BH is disabled.

In addition, u64_stats_update_begin() requires a lock to ensure one writer
which is not ensured here. Making it per-CPU and disabling NAPI (softirq)
ensures that there is always only one writer.
