openvswitch: Remove Linux bridge compatibility.

2012-12-27T21:48:51+00:00

Currently brcompat does not work on master due to recent
datapath changes. We have decided to remove it as it is
not used very widely.

Bug #2462

datapath: Add support for namespace.

2012-01-30T14:56:54+00:00

Following patch adds support for Linux net-namespace. Now we can
have independent OVS instance in each net-ns.
Namespace support requires 2.6.32 or newer kernel as per-net-ns
genl-sock is not available in earlier kernel.

Bug #7821

datapath: Scope global symbols with ovs_ prefix.

2011-11-22T19:13:35+00:00

OVS has quite a few global symbols that should be scoped with a
prefix to prevent collisions with other modules in the kernel.

datapath: Reformat copyright messages.

2011-11-16T21:55:49+00:00

Many of our kernel copyright messages make reference to code being
copied from the Linux kernel, which is a bit odd for code in the
kernel.  This changes them to use the standard GNU GPL boilerplate
instead.  It does not change the actual license, which continues to
be GPLv2.

datapath: Slim down the vport interface.

2011-11-08T02:24:35+00:00

Many of the function in vport.c are simply pass throughs to their
underlying vport implementation and, of these, many are used only
for bridge compatibility code.  This allows users of these functions
to directly call through the ops structure, reducing boilerplate code
and keeping more of the compatibility code together.

Bug #7771

datapath: Use "OVS_" as opposed to "ODP_" for user<->kernel interactions.

2011-08-20T05:48:23+00:00

The prefix "ODP_*" is not overly descriptive in the context of the
larger Linux tree.  This commit changes the prefix to "OVS_*" for the
userpace to kernel interactions.  The userspace libraries still use
"ODP_" in many of their interfaces since it is more descriptive in the
OVS oeuvre.

datapath: Don't directly access RCU protected pointers.

2010-12-13T21:40:27+00:00

If RTNL lock is used to protected updates to RCU data structures
then it isn't necessary to use rcu_dereference() to access them if
RTNL is held.  This adds rtnl_dereference() to access these pointers
which has several benefits: documents the locking expectations;
checks that RTNL actually is held when run with lockdep; makes
sparse not complain about directly accessing RCU pointers.
