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

- virtual networking moved to /apps/virtual; with CLI & REST API
- tunnels and labels moved to /apps/tunnel; with CLI & REST API; UI disabled for now
- protobuf/models moved to /core/protobuf/models
- defunct grpc/rpc registry stuff left under /graveyard
- compile dependencies on /incubator moved to respective modules for compilation
- run-time dependencies will need to be re-tested for dependent apps
- /graveyard will be removed in not-too-distant future

If there are some errors during start the netconf session, SshClient is not freed so that sockets or file descriptors that made by SshClient are not freed as well.
It leads to starvation of file descriptors for onos so that onos cannot make network connections, spawn the threads so on.
This fix does not permit reusing of already closed NetconfSessionMinaImpl.

Also, the parent DefaultRestSBDevice had a faulty testUrl toString.

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

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.
