meta-flow: Fix nw_frag mask while parsing from string.
mf_from_frag_string() sets all the upper bits of the nw_frag to make sure the exact match check will pass. This was not taken into account while splitting nw_frag and IP TOS bits into separate fields and the mask clean up was removed from the cls_rule_set_frag_masked() which is now called match_set_nw_frag_masked(). This leads to the case where the match parsed from the string is not considered equal to the match parsed from the OpenFlow, due to difference in masks. And that is causing ovs-ofctl replace-flows to always replace flows that match on nw_frag, even if they are exactly the same triggering unnecessary flow table updates and revalidation. $ cat frag_flows.txt ip,in_port=1,nw_frag=yes actions=drop $ ovs-ofctl dump-flows --no-stat --no-names br0 ip,in_port=1,nw_frag=yes actions=drop $ ovs-ofctl -vvconn replace-flows br0 frag_flows.txt 2>&1 | grep MOD NXT_FLOW_MOD: DEL_STRICT ip,in_port=1,nw_frag=yes actions=drop NXT_FLOW_MOD: ADD ip,in_port=1,nw_frag=yes actions=drop Clear the extra mask bits while setting match/flow structure from the field to avoid the issue. The issue mainly affects non-exact matches 'non_later' and 'yes', since exact matches are special-handled in many places / considered equal to not having a mask at all. Note: ideally we would not use byte-sized is_all_ones() for exact match checking, but use field-specific checks instead. However, this leads to a much larger change throughout OVS code base and would be much harder to backport. For now, fixing the issue in the way the code was originally implemented. Fixes: 9e44d71 ("Don't overload IP TOS with the frag matching bits.")
