ofproto-dpif-xlate: Don't reinstall removed XC_LEARN rule.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the a revalidator thread is updating statistics for an XC_LEARN
xcache entry in xlate_push_stats_entry it uses ofproto_flow_mod_learn.
The revalidator will update stats for rules even if they are in a
removed state or marked as invisible. However, ofproto_flow_mod_learn
will detect if a flow has been removed and re-add it in that case. This
can result in an old learn action replacing the new learn action that
had replaced it in the first place.

This change adds a new last_used parameter to ofproto_flow_mod_learn
allowing the caller to provide a timestamp that will be fed into the
learned rule's modified time. The provided timestamp should be the time
of the last packet activity. If last_used is not set then the current
time is used, as is the current behaviour.

This change also adds a check when replacing a learned rule to favour the
newest rule.
