OVSDriver: ignore duplicate megaflow requests #307

Closed rlane closed 9 years ago

rlane commented 9 years ago

Reviewer: @harshsin

An upcall thread might request multiple overlapping kflows. This is particularly true for inband, where the kflow mask only includes in_port. Before megaflows, we handled this case with a hash table keyed on the kflow key. This isn't sufficient anymore because different keys can match the same megaflow. The fix is to switch from a hashtable to the TCAM datastructure we use in the forwarding pipeline.
