Subject: [PATCH 7/7] ofctrl.c: Add a predictable resolution for conflicting
flow actions.
Until now, in case the ACL configuration generates openflows that have
the same match but different actions, ovn-controller was using the
following approach:
1. If the flow being added contains conjunctive actions, merge its
actions with the already existing flow.
2. Otherwise, if the flow is being added incrementally
(update_installed_flows_by_track), don't install the new flow but
instead keep the old one.
3. Otherwise, (update_installed_flows_by_compare), don't install the
new flow but instead keep the old one.
Even though one can argue that having an ACL with a match that includes
the match of another ACL is a misconfiguration, it can happen that the
users provision OVN like this. Depending on the order of reading and
installing the logical flows, the above operations can yield
unpredictable results, e.g., allow specific traffic but then after
ovn-controller is restarted (or a recompute happens) that specific
traffic starts being dropped.
A simple example of ACL configuration is:
ovn-nbctl acl-add ls to-lport 3 '(ip4.src==10.0.0.1 ||
ip4.src==10.0.0.2) && (ip4.dst == 10.0.0.3 || ip4.dst == 10.0.0.4)' allow
ovn-nbctl acl-add ls to-lport 3 'ip4.src==10.0.0.1' allow
ovn-nbctl acl-add ls to-lport 2 'arp' allow
ovn-nbctl acl-add ls to-lport 1 'ip4' drop
This is a pattern used by most CMSs:
- define a default deny policy.
- punch holes in the default deny policy based on user specific
configurations.
Without this commit the behavior for traffic from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.5
is unpredictable. Depending on the order of operations traffic might be
dropped or allowed.
It's also quite hard to force the CMS to ensure that such match overlaps
never occur.
To address this issue we now ensure that all desired flows refering the
same installed flow are partially sorted in the following way:
- first all flows with action "allow".
- then all flows with action "drop".
- then a single flow with action "conjunction" (resulting from merging
all flows with the same match and action conjunction).
This ensures that "allow" flows have precedence over "drop" flows which
in turn have precedence over "conjunction" flows. Essentially less
restrictive flows are always preferred over more restrictive flows whenever a match
conflict happens.
