【OVS2.5.0源码分析】vxlan端口创建流程分析

vxlan端口是通过ovs-vsctl命令创建的，整个调用流程如下：

bridge_reconfigure->bridge_add_ports->bridge_add_ports__->iface_create->iface_do_create->ofproto_port_add->port_add(ofproto_class)->dpif_port_add->dpif_netlink_port_add(dpif_class)->dpif_netlink_port_add__->内核分界线->ovs_vport_cmd_new->new_vport->ovs_vport_add

本篇着重介绍内核部分的处理流程，另外ofproto_class的port_add函数也是非常关键，它决定了系统中vxlan端口只能创建一个：

port_add函数

static int
port_add(struct ofproto *ofproto_, struct netdev *netdev)
{
    struct ofproto_dpif *ofproto = ofproto_dpif_cast(ofproto_);
    const char *devname = netdev_get_name(netdev);
    char namebuf[NETDEV_VPORT_NAME_BUFSIZE];
    const char *dp_port_name;

    if (netdev_vport_is_patch(netdev)) {		//如果是patch端口，不需要创建后端设备
        sset_add(&ofproto->ghost_ports, netdev_get_name(netdev));
        return 0;
    }

    dp_port_name = netdev_vport_get_dpif_port(netdev, namebuf, sizeof namebuf);
    if (!dpif_port_exists(ofproto->backer->dpif, dp_port_name)) {		//vxlan类型的端口，后端设备是唯一的，只能创建一个
        odp_port_t port_no = ODPP_NONE;
        int error;

        error = dpif_port_add(ofproto->backer->dpif, netdev, &port_no);
        if (error) {
            return error;
        }
        if (netdev_get_tunnel_config(netdev)) {
            simap_put(&ofproto->backer->tnl_backers,
                      dp_port_name, odp_to_u32(port_no));
        }
    }

    if (netdev_get_tunnel_config(netdev)) {
        sset_add(&ofproto->ghost_ports, devname);
    } else {
        sset_add(&ofproto->ports, devname);
    }
    return 0;
}

ovs_vport_cmd_new函数

static int ovs_vport_cmd_new(struct sk_buff *skb, struct genl_info *info)
{
	struct nlattr **a = info->attrs;
	struct ovs_header *ovs_header = info->userhdr;
	struct vport_parms parms;
	struct sk_buff *reply;
	struct vport *vport;
	struct datapath *dp;
	u32 port_no;
	int err;

	if (!a[OVS_VPORT_ATTR_NAME] || !a[OVS_VPORT
