听说Xen Cloud Platform 就是用了这个来管理各个虚拟机直接的网络接口。大概看了一下文档,感觉特点是管理的控制接口很方便吧,这样虚拟机主机就可以方便的控制虚拟机的网络,进行一个网卡迁移到另外一个网卡上面等,动态配置这个vswitch应该是很方便的。比如物理交换机里面的查看mac table这些操作估计不好做,但使用vswitch这种的虚机设备的话应该是很容易控制的。总之管理各个交换机端口等很方便,特别是你有很多虚拟机群,大量的网络配置要做的时候。另外一个特点是支持vlan、openflow、QOS流量控制等功能,好像其他常见的交换机管理协议也都是支持的。

下载了代码回来,大概看了一下网络数据包在这个open vswitch着哦你的流向,关键代码都在datapath目录下。

如上图所示,open vswitch 有eth0 eth1 tap1 tap24个虚拟端口,这个的创建应该是自己使用open vswitch的控制工具挂载到某个系统接口上得到。 像tap1在xen 里面对于那个vif0等虚拟设备)这些网络设备应该有你自己负责创建,然后自己控制虚拟设备上的处理办法,比如我vswich转发包给你tap0,你自己负责再通过hypercall转发给对应的虚拟机等。open vswttch复杂的是在不同的网络设备之间转发的逻辑的控制。

 

vswitch关键的一个结构是struct vport,就是用来表示对应的物理端口的,比如上图连接到eth0就是vswitch的一个vport连过去的。
================vport.h============================

========================================================

是可以自己实现vport端口,然后往相应的datapath上面的注册的吧,关键是要实现vport_ops 这个接口的各个函数,比如int (*send)(struct vport *, struct sk_buff *);这个是vswitch用来往某个port上发送数据包的。然后你自己的vport的实现里面调用 vport_receive这个函数通知vswitch核心你这个port有包要从switch通过了。在vswitch的角度看来,他就是关注一个端口上面的发送和接受两个数据流向,其他的他不管了吧。


我们再看看把一个net_device 挂载为一个 vswitch的vport端口后的,数据包的流向是怎么样的,他这种 net_device 的vport是怎么实现的。
首先,vswitch根据你传过来的interface的名字,比如eth0,用dev_get_by_name找到对应的 net_device结构。然后给这个net_device注册
rx_handler函数。这样linux系统就会在这个net-device收到数据包的时候调用我们的rx_handler函数了。

================================================================

rx_handler应该是2.6.36里面改动后才有的,看样子是专门用于brigde的网桥实现而做的, 之前的都是直接在内核里面导出一个br_handle_frame_hook函数,然后内核在网络数据包的收包的地方调用这个函数来处理网桥相关的逻辑。不过看现在的代码只能一个net-device注册一个rx_handler函数的。之前看的cisco vpn客户端,其实也可以用这种办法来实现,轻松挂钩某个网络设备的收包点,然后如果这个rx_handler消耗了某个skb,内核的代码也是不会往下继续传的。
看看内核里明注册处理函数相关的代码:
/**

 *      @dev: device to register a handler for
 *      @rx_handler: receive handler to register
 *      @rx_handler_data: data pointer that is used by rx handler
 *
 *      Register a receive hander for a device. This handler will then be
 *      called from __netif_receive_skb. A negative errno code is returned
 *      on a failure.
 *
 *      The caller must hold the rtnl_mutex.

======================vport-netdev.c==================
看看我们net_device attach类型的vport的处理函数。
static int netdev_send(struct vport *vport, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
    struct netdev_vport *netdev_vport = netdev_vport_priv(vport);
    int len = skb->len;

    skb->dev = netdev_vport->dev;
    forward_ip_summed(skb);
    dev_queue_xmit(skb);   ///加到网络设备的发送队列里面,从net_device 发送出去外面网络

    return len;
}


=============================vport-internal_dev.c=====================================
上面的 netdev类型 port,我们可以看到应该是被vswitch使用之后,他那个网络设备就没有办法正常的把网络包分发给系统上层协议来处理的了。比如说eth0被vswitch接管了,linux内核是不能直接收到eth0过来的包了,而是有open vswitch接管了,vswtich可能根据规则就直接转发给另外一个vport的net_device,这个另外一个net-device可能是对应的虚拟机的接口的,比如xen里面vif网络设备,然后包就通过vif过去虚拟机了。 这样eth0的包,自己的host主机是看不到他过来的包的。不过open vswitch还实现了另外一种internal_dev类型的vport 。这种vport他会自己注册一个网络设备,通过这个特定的网络设备,host主机是可以给vswitch发送网络包的,然后它这个vport是受到vswtich过来的包的话,他也是往上传给内核协议栈的。
static int internal_dev_recv(struct vport *vport, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
    struct net_device *netdev = netdev_vport_priv(vport)->dev;
    int len;

    skb->dev = netdev;                 //传给vport的网络设备
    len = skb->len;
    skb->pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;
    skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, netdev);

    if (in_interrupt())
        netif_rx(skb);              /net_device收到包,上传给上层处理
    else
        netif_rx_ni(skb);

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,29)
    netdev->last_rx = jiffies;
#endif

    return len;
}

const struct vport_ops internal_vport_ops = {
    .type        = "internal",
    .flags        = VPORT_F_REQUIRED | VPORT_F_GEN_STATS | VPORT_F_FLOW,
    .create        = internal_dev_create,                //创建vport的函数
    .destroy    = internal_dev_destroy,
    .set_mtu    = netdev_set_mtu,
    .set_addr    = netdev_set_addr,
    .get_name    = netdev_get_name,
    .get_addr    = netdev_get_addr,
    .get_kobj    = netdev_get_kobj,
    .get_dev_flags    = netdev_get_dev_flags,
    .is_running    = netdev_is_running,
    .get_operstate    = netdev_get_operstate,
    .get_ifindex    = netdev_get_ifindex,
    .get_iflink    = netdev_get_iflink,
    .get_mtu    = netdev_get_mtu,
    .send        = internal_dev_recv,                vswitch 要给你这个vport发包的时候,就调用的这个。
};


总结: 大概看了一下之后,vswitch的流程和大概实现就清除一点了。他也是通过内核里面net_device结构,挂钩网络设备的发包出口点和接受点来做到的。然后让包在不同的netdevice之间转发数据包,修改包的流向等,这就是一个虚拟交换机的功能了。当然他里面的逻辑控制还是要做很多工作的。不过这些在net-device之间玩弄网络skb数据包的办法也可以学习一下。
