Hi,
I found out while debugging my new action that ovs overlaps incoming packet
payloads and I haven’t found a fix for this. I can’t tell if it’s an OVS bug or
if I’m doing something wrong.
Basically once do_xlate_actions is called and my action is “hit” I attempt to
print the packet to gdb using this command:
Ofproto/ofproto-dpif-xlate.c:
Compose_foo(ctx):
VLOG_ERR( "%s", (char *)
dp_packet_get_udp_payload(ctx->xin->packet) );
While debugging I saw the function dp_packet_get_udp_payload(*b) often being
called on a previous already used dp_packet pointer (*b), which by debugging
even further, I notice it sometimes still contains the previous udp payload
received previously, so the call overlaps the 2 payloads. Is this normal
behavior? More precise info on how it overlaps can be seen here:
https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2020-May/050090.html
This is my very trivial setup
* I’m using netcat to send udp payloads between the 2 hosts in the topology
h1----s1---h2
* Only flows that contain udp packets go through my foo_Action : “sh
ovs-ofctl add-flow s1 in_port=1,dl_type=2048,nw_proto=17,action=foo”
My end goal is to save these incoming packets in a buffer and if the payloads
are wrong then there’s really no point.
I’m guessing I need a way to free the contents of the pointer
ctx->xin->payload, but I haven’t found anything useful in the code, also since
ctx->xin->packet is a const I can’t modify it.
Sorry if this is kind of a repost from my previous query but I’ve tried
everything, so any help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks
L
