分类器用途
classifier在ovs中非常重要，用于流分类，执行相应的动作。属于match+action中的match。
在ovs中有三个地方会用到分类器：
- miss报文处理（用户态慢路径）
/* The returned rule (if any) is valid at least until the next RCU quiescent
* period. If the rule needs to stay around longer, the caller should take
* a reference.
*
* 'flow' is non-const to allow for temporary modifications during the lookup.
* Any changes are restored before returning.
* 允许用户临时改变flow中的内容
*/
static struct rule_dpif *
rule_dpif_lookup_in_table(struct ofproto_dpif *ofproto, ovs_version_t version,
uint8_t table_id, struct flow *flow,
struct flow_wildcards *wc)
{
struct classifier *cls = &ofproto->up.tables[table_id].cls;
return rule_dpif_cast(rule_from_cls_rule(classifier_lookup(cls, version,
flow, wc)));

*gw = p->gw;
if (src) {
*src = p->src_addr;
}
return true;
}
return ovs_router_lookup_fallback(ip6_dst, output_bridge, src, gw);
}- tunnel terminate表查找
/* 'flow' is non-const to allow for temporary modifications during the lookup.
* Any changes are restored before returning.
* flow参数允许临时修改一些值，但是在返回之前需要被恢复原来的值。
*/
odp_port_t
tnl_port_map_lookup(struct flow *flow, struct flow_wildcards *wc)
{
//进行分类器规则查找
const struct cls_rule *cr = classifier_lookup(&cls, OVS_VERSION_MAX, flow,
wc);
return (cr) ? tnl_port_cast(cr)->portno : ODPP_NONE;
}分类器的核心函数为classifier_lookup函数，它有四个参数：
- cls： table的分类器
- version：当前符合要求的规则版本，即规则的添加版本需要小于该version，并且其删除版本要大于该version，即该规则在该版本是可见的。
- flow：需要匹配的报文的提取值，中途可以邻居修改，但是最终是保持报文原样的，将来用来作为megaflow的value。
- wc：通配符，报文起始查找时是通配所有的，在整个报文匹配中使用同一个wc，命中一个规则就将该规则对应的掩码unwildcard，表示报文需要匹配这些域，当报文通过goto和resubmit动作转移到另外一个table时，依然会使用原来的上个table处理后的wc继续处理，多个规则之间的mask采用或的关系处理wc。wc与flow共同构成快转表中规则的value与mask。wc非常重要，它最大限度的用来减少误匹配。对于那些不用生成megaflow的使用场景，该值可以为NULL，所以ovs_router_lookup中该值为NULL。

};classifier流程
- 从cls->subtables第一个子表开始循环遍历每一个符合要求的子表，对子表调用函数find_match_wc进行处理。
函数find_match_wc进行如下处理：
对flow在子表的前三个段中进行trie过滤，不符合命中条件的话，开始下一个子表。
计算flow在子表在前三个段中的hash值，在subtable->indices[i]中查找是否有对应的hash值，前三个段就是通过hash值进行
过滤。
前面两条都满足要求后，对最后一个段进行trie过滤，不符合命中条件的话，开始下一个子表。
对最后一个段进行hash，使用hash值在子表中调用函数find_match进行精确匹配。
- 所有子表遍历完毕后，开始对匹配中命中的规则进行关联匹配处理，找出最高优先级的规则。

}总结
经过长时间的分析，大概理清了ovs的分类器的实现机制，还有一些比较重要的细节没有想明白：
- 一般来说缓存都是精确匹配的，掩码匹配很容易导致误匹配。ovs选择megaflow作为掩码匹配器，是否会存在误匹配的可能了？
- classifier_lookup函数的wc参数保存了所有命中规则的掩码或的结果。不仅包含了每一个table中最终的最高优先级的规则的掩码，也包括了每一个table中各个子表中命中的其它优先级的掩码。也就是说，wc不仅仅是最终执行了的动作的规则的掩码的或，还包含了一些命中了但是低优先级不回被执行动作的规则的掩码。这样做的意义是啥？
- 函数check_tries中如下代码片段的作用是啥？
/* Possible to skip the rest of the subtable if subtable's
* prefix on the field is not included in the lookup result.
* 查看该子表是否有命中，有命中则匹配下一个过滤树。否则
*/
if (!be_get_bit_at(&ctx->match_plens.be32, field_plen[j] - 1)) {
/* We want the trie lookup to never result in unwildcarding
* any bits that would not be unwildcarded otherwise.
* Since the trie is shared by the whole classifier, it is
* possible that the 'maskbits' contain bits that are
* irrelevant for the partition relevant for the current
* packet. Hence the checks below.
* Trie是整个分类器共享的。它是可能的maskbits可能包含一些与这个报文不相关的部分。
* 因此需要进行下面的检查。
*/
/* Check that the trie result will not unwildcard more bits
* than this subtable would otherwise.
* 这棵树最长*/
if (ctx->maskbits <= field_plen[j]) {//没有全匹配
/* Unwildcard the bits and skip the rest. */
/* 设置非通配bit，用于跳过其子表其他 */
mask_set_prefix_bits(wc, ctx->be32ofs, ctx->maskbits);
/* Note: Prerequisite already unwildcarded, as the only
* prerequisite of the supported trie lookup fields is
* the ethertype, which is always unwildcarded. */
return true;
}
/* Can skip if the field is already unwildcarded. */
if (mask_prefix_bits_set(wc, ctx->be32ofs, ctx->maskbits)) {
return true;
}
}- 函数find_match_wc中的如下代码片段，没能想明白其作用是啥？
if (!rule && subtable->ports_mask_len) {/* 没有找到，并且存在tdports引擎树 */
/* The final stage had ports, but there was no match. Instead of
* unwildcarding all the ports bits, use the ports trie to figure out a
* smaller set of bits to unwildcard.
* 最后一个stage为传输层信息，但是这个子表没有规则命中。代替规则需要匹配整个
* 端口域，通过trie计算一个最小的掩码域，可以最大限度减少误匹配。
