netdev-offload-tc: Fix offload of tunnel key tp_src.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is no TCA_TUNNEL_KEY_ENC_SRC_PORT in the kernel, so the offload
should not be attempted if OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_TP_SRC is requested
by OVS.  Current code just ignores the attribute in the tunnel(set())
action leading to a flow mismatch and potential incorrect datapath
behavior:

  |tc(handler21)|DBG|tc flower compare failed action compare
  ...
  Action 0 mismatch:
  - Expected Action:
  00000010 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 ff 00 11

In the tc_action dump above we can see the difference on the second
line.  The action dumped from a kernel is missing 'c0 5b' - source
port for a tunnel(set()) action on the second line.

Removing the field from the tc_action_encap structure entirely to
avoid any potential confusion.

Note: In general, the source port number in the tunnel(set()) action
is not particularly useful for most tunnels, because they may just
ignore the value.  Specs for Geneve and VXLAN suggest using a value
based on the headers of the inner packet as a source port.
In vast majority of scenarios the source port doesn't actually end
up in the action itself.
Having a mismatch between the userspace and TC leads to constant
revalidation of the flow and warnings in the log.
