openvswitch: Enable tunnel GSO for OVS bridge.

2014-07-24T08:15:04+00:00

bridge device so that ovs can use hardware offloads available to
underling device.

net: set name_assign_type in alloc_netdev()

2014-07-15T23:12:48+00:00

Extend alloc_netdev{,_mq{,s}}() to take name_assign_type as argument, and convert
all users to pass NET_NAME_UNKNOWN.

Coccinelle patch:

openvswitch: introduce rtnl ops stub

2014-07-01T21:40:17+00:00

This stub now allows userspace to see IFLA_INFO_KIND for ovs master and
IFLA_INFO_SLAVE_KIND for slave.

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone.
This does that.

Mostly done via coccinelle script:
@@
struct ethtool_ops *ops;
struct net_device *dev;
@@
-       SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops);
+       dev->ethtool_ops = ops;

Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

openvswitch: Enable all GSO features on internal port.

2013-11-02T01:17:50+00:00

OVS already can handle all types of segmentation offloads that
are supported by the kernel.
Following patch specifically enables UDP and IPV6 segmentation
offloads.

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.
