The new client API supports batching and provides detailed response for
write requests (e.g. if entity already exists when inserting), which was
not possible with the old one.
This patch includes:
- New more efficient implementation of P4RuntimeClient (no more locking,
use native gRPC executor, use stub deadlines)
- Ported all codecs to new AbstractCodec-based implementation (needed to
implement codec cache in the future)
- Uses batching in P4RuntimeFlowRuleProgrammable and
P4RuntimeGroupActionProgrammable
- Minor changes to PI framework runtime classes

- Bumped version of protobuf to 3.6.1.3 (includes fix for Bazel 0.22)
- Removed all protobuf and grpc dependencies from deps.json. Instead,
depends solely on what's provided by the external grpc and protobuf
workspaces.
- Use OSGi-wrapped protobuf and grpc JARs built with Bazel for runtime
- Add missing netty-related bundles to onos-thirdparty-base (required
by grpc)
Note, build with Bazel 0.22 is still broken because of
osgi_java_library.bzl, unless the following build arg is used:
build --incompatible_string_is_not_iterable=false
It seems the error is caused by dead code in osgi_java_library.bzl
that should be removed.

Also includes:
- New abstract P4Runtime codec implementation. Currently used for action
profile members/groups encoding/deconding, the plan is to handle all
other codecs via this.
- Improved read requests in P4RuntimeClientImpl
- Removed handling of max group size in P4Runtime driver. Instead, added
modified group translator to specify a max group size by using
information from the pipeline model.

Members can exist outside of a group. Previous naming was ambiguous
about this.
Action group -> action profile group
Action group member -> action profile member
Change-Id: I5097e92253353d355b864e689f9653df2d318230
Includes also other minor changes to gRPC channel creation/connection
process, such as:
- More compact logs showing the gRPC client key
- GrpcChannelController.connectChannel() now returns the same
StatusRuntime exception, no need to wrap it in an IOException
- Wait for channel shutdown after initial connection error

This patch affects both the P4 pipeline implementation and the
Java pipeconf.
P4 PIPELINE
- Less tables and smarter use of metadata to reduce inter-tables
dependencies and favor parallel execution of tables.
- Removed unused actions / renamed existing ones to make forwarding
behavior clearer (e.g. ingress_port_vlan table)
- Remove co-existence of simple and hansed table. Hashed should be the
default one, but implementations that do not support action profiles
might compile fabric.p4 to use the simple one.
- Use @name annotations for match fields to make control plane
independent of table implementation.
- Use @hidden to avoid showing actions and table on the p4info that
cannot be controlled at runtime.
- First attempt to support double VLAN cross-connect (xconnect table).
- New design has been tested with "fabric-refactoring" branch of
fabric-p4test:
github.com/opennetworkinglab/fabric-p4test/tree/fabric-refactoring
JAVA PIPECONF
This patch brings a major refactoring that reflects the experience
gathered in the past months of working on fabric.p4 and reasoning on its
pipeconf implementation. Indeed, the FlowObjective API is
under-specified and sometimes ambiguous which makes the process of
creating and maintaining a pipeliner implementation tedious. This
refactoring brings a simplified implementation by removing unused/
unnecessary functionalities and by recognizing commonality when possible
(e.g. by means of abstract and utility classes). It also makes design
patterns more explicit and consistent. Overall, the goal is to reduce
technical debt and to make it easier to support new features as we
evolve fabric.p4
Changes include:
- Changes in pipeliner/interpreter to reflect new pipeline design.
- By default translate objective treatment to PiAction. This favors
debuggability of flow rules in ONOS.
- Support new NextObjective’s NextTreatment class.
- Remove lots of unused/unnecessary code (e.g. async callback handling
for pending objective install status in pipeliner as current
implementation was always returning success)
- Gather commonality in abstract classes and simplify implementation
for objective translator (filtering, forwarding, next)
- New implementation of ForwardingFunctionTypes (FFT) that looks at
criterion instance values along with their types (to avoid relying on
case-specific if-else conditions to recognize variants of an FFT)
- Adaptive translation of NextObjective based on presence of simple or
hashed table.
- Support DENY FilteringObjective
Also:
- Fix onos-p4-gen-constants to avoid generating conflicting
PiMatchFieldId variable names.
- Install Graphviz tools in p4vm to generate p4c graphs
- Generate p4c graphs by default when compiling fabric.p4
- Use more compact Hex string when printing PI values

This patch solves the PENDING_UPDATE and PENDING_ADD_RETRY issue
observed on the ONS EU topology.
The P4Runtime action profile group handling has been re-implemented to
be robust against inconsistencies of the device mirror, which is now
periodically synchronized with the device state. Similarly, we implement
a routine in the P4RuntimeClient to cleanup unused action profile
members.
This patch includes also:
- Refactor PI handle classes to allow creating handles without the
entity instance
- Use list instead of collections in P4RuntimeClient methods, as order
of updates sent and/or entities received from the device is important
Change-Id: I2e7964ce90f43d66680131b47ab52aca32ab55d2
Spec says:
the default entry for a table is always set. It can be set at
compile-time by the P4 programmer - or defaults to NoAction (which is a
no-op) otherwise - and assuming it is not declared as const, can be
modified by the P4Runtime client. Because the default entry is always
set, we do not allow INSERT and DELETE updates on the default entry and
the P4Runtime server must return an INVALID_ARGUMENT error code if the
client attempts one.
With this patch we convert insert or delete operations into modify ones
(unless specified by a driver property, to support non-compliant devices).
For delete, we use the interpreter to suggest a default action that is
the same as the one when the pipeline was originally deployed.
Also, we introduce the capability of synchronizing the device mirror
with the device state.

Also reduces default pipeconf watchdog probe interval
Also fixes NPE on GDP when device is unreachable

(cherry picked from commit d797e2c28505fbdbb8597038ebcf977a053bae72)
This patch is an attempt to solve issues observed when restarting both
switches and ONOS nodes. Most of the issues seemed to depend on a
brittle mastership handling when deploying the pipeline.
With this patch, GDP registers devices to the core with available=false
(i.e. offline) and marks them online only when the P4 pipeline has been
deployed to the device. A new PiPipeconfWatchdogService takes care of
deploying pipelines and producing event when devices are ready.
Moreover, we fix a race condition where pipeconf-related behaviors
were not found. This was caused by GDP enforcing the merged
driver name in the network config, while external entities (e.g.
Mininet) were pushing a JSON blob with the base driver name. This patch
removes the need to rely on such a trick and instead uses
pipeconf-aware logic directly in the driver manager (change #19622).
Finally, we fix issues in P4RuntimeClientImpl that were causing the
stream channel not detecting unreachable devices. The solution is to
follow gRPC APIs and re-instantiate a new channel once the first fails.

A convenient macro for packaging together all proto and gRPC libraries
in an OSGi jar is provided. Also re-packaging of gRPC core (to avoid OSGi
split problem) is simplified by depending on a patched fork of grpc-java.

- NPE when removing agent listeners
- Don't block netcfg event dispatch thread on GDP
- Avoid unnecessary warn logs during disconnection in GDP
Change-Id: I612f7f7914579eea9ba393e952377a3933d92e8d
Most notably, we fix a bug in which some nodes were not able to find
pipeconf-specific behaviors for a given device. The problem is not
completelly solved but it's mitigated.
There's a race condition caused by the fact that the GDP updates the cfg
with the merged driver name before advertising the device to the core.
Some nodes might receive the cfg update after the device has been
advertised. We mitigate the problem by performing the pipeline deploy
(slow operation) after the cfg update, giving more time for nodes
to catch up. Perhaps we should listen for cfg update events before
advertising the device to the core?
Also:
- NPE when getting P4Runtime client
- Detect if a base driver is already merged in pipeconf manager
- Longer timeouts in P4Runtime driver and protocol (for slow networks)
- Configurable timeout in P4Runtime driver and GDP
- NPE when adding/removing device agent listeners in P4Rtunime handshaker
- Various exceptions due to race conditions in GDP when disconnecting
devices (by serializing disconnect tasks per device)
- NPE when cancelling polling tasks in GDP
- Refactored PipeconfService to distinguish between driver merge,
pipeconf map update, and cfg update (now performed in the GDP)
- Fixed PipeconfManagerTest, not testing driver behaviours
- Use Guava striped locks when possible (more memory-efficient than maps,
and with strict atomicity guarantees w.r.t. to caches).
