在上一节提到，Openvswitch的内核模块openvswitch.ko会在网卡上注册一个函数netdev_frame_hook，每当有网络包到达网卡的时候，这个函数就会被调用。
?
static struct sk_buff *netdev_frame_hook(struct sk_buff *skb) { ???if (unlikely(skb->pkt_type == PACKET_LOOPBACK)) ??????return skb; ? ???port_receive(skb); ???return NULL; }
|
?
调用port_receive即是调用netdev_port_receive
#define port_receive(skb) netdev_port_receive(skb, NULL)
?
void netdev_port_receive(struct sk_buff *skb, struct ip_tunnel_info *tun_info) { ???struct vport *vport; ? ???vport = ovs_netdev_get_vport(skb->dev); …… ???skb_push(skb, ETH_HLEN); ???ovs_skb_postpush_rcsum(skb, skb->data, ETH_HLEN); ???ovs_vport_receive(vport, skb, tun_info); ???return; error: ???kfree_skb(skb); }
|
?
在函数int ovs_vport_receive(struct vport *vport, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct ip_tunnel_info *tun_info)实现如下
int ovs_vport_receive(struct vport *vport, struct sk_buff *skb, ????????????const struct ip_tunnel_info *tun_info) { ???struct sw_flow_key key; ???...... ???/* Extract flow from ‘skb‘ into ‘key‘. */ ???error = ovs_flow_key_extract(tun_info, skb, &key); ???if (unlikely(error)) { ??????kfree_skb(skb); ??????return error; ???} ???ovs_dp_process_packet(skb, &key); ???return 0; }
|
?
在这个函数里面，首先声明了变量struct sw_flow_key key;
如果我们看这个key的定义
struct sw_flow_key { ???u8 tun_opts[255]; ???u8 tun_opts_len; ???struct ip_tunnel_key tun_key; /* Encapsulating tunnel key. */ ???struct { ??????u32 priority; /* Packet QoS priority. */ ??????u32 skb_mark; /* SKB mark. */ ??????u16 in_port; /* Input switch port (or DP_MAX_PORTS). */ ???} __packed phy; /* Safe when right after ‘tun_key‘. */ ???u32 ovs_flow_hash; /* Datapath computed hash value. */ ???u32 recirc_id; /* Recirculation ID. */ ???struct { ??????u8 src[ETH_ALEN]; /* Ethernet source address. */ ??????u8 dst[ETH_ALEN]; /* Ethernet destination address. */ ??????__be16 tci; /* 0 if no VLAN, VLAN_TAG_PRESENT set otherwise. */ ??????__be16 type; /* Ethernet frame type. */ ???} eth; ???union { ??????struct { ?????????__be32 top_lse; /* top label stack entry */ ??????} mpls; ??????struct { ?????????u8 proto; /* IP protocol or lower 8 bits of ARP opcode. */ ?????????u8 tos; /* IP ToS. */ ?????????u8 ttl; /* IP TTL/hop limit. */ ?????????u8 frag; /* One of OVS_FRAG_TYPE_*. */ ??????} ip; ???}; ???struct { ??????__be16 src; /* TCP/UDP/SCTP source port. */ ??????__be16 dst; /* TCP/UDP/SCTP destination port. */ ??????__be16 flags; /* TCP flags. */ ???} tp; ???union { ??????struct { ?????????struct { ????????????__be32 src; /* IP source address. */ ????????????__be32 dst; /* IP destination address. */ ?????????} addr; ?????????struct { ????????????u8 sha[ETH_ALEN]; /* ARP source hardware address. */ ????????????u8 tha[ETH_ALEN]; /* ARP target hardware address. */ ?????????} arp; ??????} ipv4; ??????struct { ?????????struct { ????????????struct in6_addr src; /* IPv6 source address. */ ????????????struct in6_addr dst; /* IPv6 destination address. */ ?????????} addr; ?????????__be32 label; /* IPv6 flow label. */ ?????????struct { ????????????struct in6_addr target; /* ND target address. */ ????????????u8 sll[ETH_ALEN]; /* ND source link layer address. */ ????????????u8 tll[ETH_ALEN]; /* ND target link layer address. */ ?????????} nd; ??????} ipv6; ???}; ???struct { ??????/* Connection tracking fields. */ ??????u16 zone; ??????u32 mark; ??????u8 state; ??????struct ovs_key_ct_labels labels; ???} ct; ? } __aligned(BITS_PER_LONG/8); /* Ensure that we can do comparisons as longs. */

可见这个key里面是一个大杂烩，数据包里面的几乎任何部分都可以作为key来查找flow表
- tunnel可以作为key
- 在物理层，in_port即包进入的网口的ID
- 在MAC层，源和目的MAC地址
- 在IP层，源和目的IP地址
- 在传输层，源和目的端口号
- IPV6
所以，要在内核态匹配流表，首先需要调用ovs_flow_key_extract，从包的正文中提取key的值。
接下来就是要调用ovs_dp_process_packet了。
void ovs_dp_process_packet(struct sk_buff *skb, struct sw_flow_key *key) { ???const struct vport *p = OVS_CB(skb)->input_vport; ???struct datapath *dp = p->dp; ???struct sw_flow *flow; ???struct sw_flow_actions *sf_acts; ???struct dp_stats_percpu *stats; ???u64 *stats_counter; ???u32 n_mask_hit; ? ???stats = this_cpu_ptr(dp->stats_percpu); ? ???/* Look up flow. */ ???flow = ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats(&dp->table, key, skb_get_hash(skb), ????????????????&n_mask_hit); ???if (unlikely(!flow)) { ??????struct dp_upcall_info upcall; ??????int error; ? ??????memset(&upcall, 0, sizeof(upcall)); ??????upcall.cmd = OVS_PACKET_CMD_MISS; ??????upcall.portid = ovs_vport_find_upcall_portid(p, skb); ??????upcall.mru = OVS_CB(skb)->mru; ??????error = ovs_dp_upcall(dp, skb, key, &upcall); ??????if (unlikely(error)) ?????????kfree_skb(skb); ??????else ?????????consume_skb(skb); ??????stats_counter = &stats->n_missed; ??????goto out; ???} ? ???ovs_flow_stats_update(flow, key->tp.flags, skb); ???sf_acts = rcu_dereference(flow->sf_acts); ???ovs_execute_actions(dp, skb, sf_acts, key); ? ???stats_counter = &stats->n_hit; ? out: ???/* Update datapath statistics. */ ???u64_stats_update_begin(&stats->syncp); ???(*stats_counter)++; ???stats->n_mask_hit += n_mask_hit; ???u64_stats_update_end(&stats->syncp); }

这个函数首先在内核里面的流表中查找符合key的flow，也即ovs_flow_tbl_lookup_stats，如果找到了，很好说明用户态的流表已经放入内核，则走fast path就可了。于是直接调用ovs_execute_actions，执行这个key对应的action。
如果不能找到，则只好调用ovs_dp_upcall，让用户态去查找流表。会调用static int queue_userspace_packet(struct datapath *dp, struct sk_buff *skb, const struct sw_flow_key *key, const struct dp_upcall_info *upcall_info)
它会调用err = genlmsg_unicast(ovs_dp_get_net(dp), user_skb, upcall_info->portid);通过netlink将消息发送给用户态。在用户态，有线程监听消息，一旦有消息，则触发udpif_upcall_handler。
?
Slow Path & Fast Path
Slow Path:
当Datapath找不到flow rule对packet进行处理时
Vswitchd使用flow rule对packet进行处理。
?
Fast Path:
将slow path的flow rule放在内核态，对packet进行处理
?
Unknown Packet Processing
Datapath使用flow rule对packet进行处理，如果没有，则有vswitchd使用flow rule进行处理
?
?
- 从Device接收Packet交给事先注册的event handler进行处理
- 接收Packet后识别是否是unknown packet，是则交由upcall处理
- vswitchd对unknown packet找到flow rule进行处理
- 将Flow rule发送给datapath
