openvswitch: Allow OVS_USERSPACE_ATTR_USERDATA to be variable length.

2013-02-23T00:29:22Z

Until now, the optional OVS_USERSPACE_ATTR_USERDATA attribute had to be exactly 64 bits long, if it was present. However, 64 bits is not enough space to associate as much information with a flow as would be convenient for some userspace features now under development. This commit generalizes the attribute, allowing it to be any length. This generalization is backward-compatible: if userspace only uses 64-bit attributes, then it will not see any change in behavior.

linux/openvswitch.h: Make OVSP_LOCAL 32-bit.

2013-01-07T17:54:31Z

OVS ports are now 32-bit, so OVSP_LOCAL should be too. (Internally, kernel module still keeps port numbers 16-bit, though.) Signed-off-by: Jarno Rajahalme Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.

2011-12-03T17:35:17Z

Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules. See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace utilities. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross
