openvswitch: Remove unneeded ovs_netdev_get_ifindex()

2013-04-30T04:19:11+00:00

The only user is get_dpifindex(), no need to redirect via the port
operations.

net: vlan: rename NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_* feature flags to NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_*

2013-04-19T18:45:26+00:00

Rename the hardware VLAN acceleration features to include "CTAG" to indicate
that they only support CTAGs. Follow up patches will introduce 802.1ad
server provider tagging (STAGs) and require the distinction for hardware not
supporting acclerating both.

openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.

2013-04-15T21:38:40+00:00

Currently OVS uses combination of genl and rtnl lock to protect
datapath state.  This was done due to networking stack locking.
But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering
issues with new tunneling protocols.
Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex
and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state.

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jesse/openvswitch

2013-03-17T16:58:47+00:00

Conflicts:
	net/openvswitch/vport-internal_dev.c

Jesse Gross says:

====================
A couple of minor enhancements for net-next/3.10.  The largest is an
extension to allow variable length metadata to be passed to userspace
with packets.

There is a merge conflict in net/openvswitch/vport-internal_dev.c:
A existing commit modifies internal_dev_mac_addr() and a new commit
deletes it.  The new one is correct, so you can just remove that function.

ethtool: fix drvinfo strings set in drivers

2013-01-07T05:06:31+00:00

Use strlcpy where possible to ensure the string is \0 terminated.
Use always sizeof(string) instead of 32, ETHTOOL_BUSINFO_LEN
and custom defines.
Use snprintf instead of sprint.
Remove unnecessary inits of ->fw_version
Remove unnecessary inits of drvinfo struct.

openvswitch: Use eth_mac_addr() instead of duplicating it

2012-12-04T17:27:49+00:00

bonus: if we ever are to use IFF_LIVE_ADDR_CHANGE for
anything further than to check availability in eth_mac_addr(),
Open vSwitch will be ready for that.

openvswitch: Add support for network namespaces.

2012-08-22T21:48:55+00:00

Following patch adds support for network namespace to openvswitch.
Since it must release devices when namespaces are destroyed, a
side effect of this patch is that the module no longer keeps a
refcount but instead cleans up any state when it is unloaded.

openvswitch: Reset upper layer protocol info on internal devices.

2012-05-25T18:29:30+00:00

It's possible that packets that are sent on internal devices (from
the OVS perspective) have already traversed the local IP stack.
After they go through the internal device, they will again travel
through the IP stack which may get confused by the presence of
existing information in the skb. The problem can be observed
when switching between namespaces. This clears out that information
to avoid problems but deliberately leaves other metadata alone.
This is to provide maximum flexibility in chaining together OVS
and other Linux components.
