openvswitch: Use RCU callback when detaching netdevices.

2012-11-28T22:04:34+00:00

Currently, each time a device is detached from an OVS datapath
we call synchronize RCU before freeing associated data structures.
However, if a bridge is deleted (which detaches all ports) when
many devices are connected then there can be a long delay.  This
switches to use call_rcu() to group the cost together.

net: openvswitch: use this_cpu_ptr per-cpu helper

2012-11-16T21:26:20+00:00

just use more faster this_cpu_ptr instead of per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id());

openvswitch: Process RARP packets with ethertype 0x8035 similar to ARP packets.

2012-11-02T21:14:31+00:00

With this commit, OVS will match the data in the RARP packets having
ethertype 0x8035, in the same way as the data in the ARP packets.

openvswitch: Store flow key len if ARP opcode is not request or reply.

2012-10-31T00:17:09+00:00

We currently only extract the ARP payload if the opcode indicates
that it is a request or reply.  However, we also only set the
key length in these situations even though it should still be
possible to match on the opcode.  There's no real reason to
restrict the ARP opcode since all have the same format so this
simply removes the check.

openvswitch: Print device when warning about over MTU packets.

2012-10-30T22:48:48+00:00

If an attempt is made to transmit a packet that is over the device's
MTU then we log it using the datapath's name.  However, it is much
more helpful to use the device name instead.

Conflicts:
	net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c
	net/netfilter/xt_LOG.c

Rather easy conflict resolution, the 'net' tree had bug fixes to make
sure we checked if a socket is a time-wait one or not and elide the
logging code if so.

Whereas on the 'net-next' side we are calculating the UID and GID from
the creds using different interfaces due to the user namespace changes
from Eric Biederman.

netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

2012-09-10T19:30:41+00:00

It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.
