Hi,

I'm trying to work with double tagged packets in OVS. But I can't match on the 
inner VLAN (CVLAN), even after poping the SVLAN and using a different table.
In this setup I'm receiving on port 1 SVLANs 3204 and 3217 both transporting 
CVLANs 10 and 20, what I want to achieve is to steer each flow (SVLAN + CVLAN 
combination) to a different outport.

I came up with two set of rules, using two tables.
On table 0 I match on in_port, SVLAN, pop it, save the SVLAN VID to the 
metadata field then send to table 1.
On table 1 I match on the metadata to restore the information of wich SVLAN 
this flow is from, mach on in_port and CVLAN, pop the CVLAN and send to the 
outputport.
Below are the flows I used:

ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 add-flow br-oper0 
in_port=1,dl_vlan=3204,actions=pop_vlan,set_field:3204->metadata,goto_table:1
ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 add-flow br-oper0 
in_port=1,dl_vlan=3217,actions=pop_vlan,set_field:3217->metadata,goto_table:1

ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 add-flow br-oper0 
table=1,metadata=3204,in_port=1,dl_vlan=10,actions=pop_vlan,output:2
ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 add-flow br-oper0 
table=1,metadata=3204,in_port=1,dl_vlan=20,actions=pop_vlan,output:3
ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 add-flow br-oper0 
table=1,metadata=3217,in_port=1,dl_vlan=10,actions=pop_vlan,output:4
ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow13 add-flow br-oper0 
table=1,metadata=3217,in_port=1,dl_vlan=20,actions=pop_vlan,output:5

But as shown below, no flow is matching the rules from table 1. I created some 
temporary flows to isolate the issue, and I figured that I can match the CVLAN 
on table 1.

cookie=0x0, duration=3435.754s, table=0, n_packets=788, n_bytes=67476, 
in_port=1,dl_vlan=3204 actions=pop_vlan,set_field:0xc84->metadata,goto_table:1
cookie=0x0, duration=3435.754s, table=0, n_packets=788, n_bytes=67476, 
in_port=1,dl_vlan=3217 actions=pop_vlan,set_field:0xc91->metadata,goto_table:1

cookie=0x0, duration=3471.941s, table=1, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
metadata=0xc84,in_port=1,dl_vlan=10 actions=pop_vlan,output:2
cookie=0x0, duration=3471.941s, table=1, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
metadata=0xc84,in_port=1,dl_vlan=20 actions=pop_vlan,output:2
cookie=0x0, duration=3471.941s, table=1, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
metadata=0xc91,in_port=1,dl_vlan=10 actions=pop_vlan,output:4
cookie=0x0, duration=3471.941s, table=1, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
metadata=0xc91,in_port=1,dl_vlan=20 actions=pop_vlan,output:5

Temporary Flows:
cookie=0x0, duration=6.097s,    table=1, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, 
in_port=1,dl_vlan=10 actions=output:2
cookie=0x0, duration=6.883s,    table=1, n_packets=4, n_bytes=356, 
metadata=0xc84,in_port=1 actions=output:2

All my ports are DPDK, and I'm working with OVS from master branch (april 29th) 
and DPDK 16.11. But have confirmed this issue with previous versions as 2.7.0 
and 2.6.1.
Follows the parameters from my setup.
ovs-vsctl add-br br-oper0 -- set bridge br-oper0 datapath_type=netdev 
fail-mode=secure
ovs-vsctl add-port br-oper0 dpdk-p0 -- set Interface dpdk-p0 type=dpdk 
options:dpdk-devargs=0000:00:14.0 mtu_request=9600 ofport=1
ovs-vsctl add-port br-oper0 dpdk-p1 -- set Interface dpdk-p1 type=dpdk 
options:dpdk-devargs=0000:00:14.1 mtu_request=9600 ofport=2
ovs-vsctl add-port br-oper0 dpdk-p2 -- set Interface dpdk-p2 type=dpdk 
options:dpdk-devargs=0000:00:14.2 mtu_request=9600 ofport=3
ovs-vsctl add-port br-oper0 dpdk-p3 -- set Interface dpdk-p3 type=dpdk 
options:dpdk-devargs=0000:00:14.3 mtu_request=9600 ofport=4
ovs-vsctl add-port br-oper0 dpdk-p4 -- set Interface dpdk-p4 type=dpdk 
options:dpdk-devargs=0000:01:00.0 mtu_request=9600 ofport=5

I've also attached a pcap from the host at port 2, just to show that there is 
traffic with the CVLAN tag reaching there.

Please let me know if there is a better way I can achieve this.

Marcos Schwarz
