fail-open: Drop some of the weirder special cases.

2016-01-20T17:50:23+00:00

I don't have any real evidence that these special cases make a difference
in real-world cases.  The messages for the commits that add them are not
clear about the reasons for them.  I seem to recall that they were only
tested with the dummy controller inside OVS, which isn't very good evidence
for real controllers.  Finally, they cut across layers in nasty ways and
make it hard to better abstract packet-ins and packet buffering.

If these solve real problems then we can reconsider after some reports
come in.

dp-packet: Remove ofpbuf dependency.

2015-03-03T21:37:37+00:00

Currently dp-packet make use of ofpbuf for managing packet
buffers. That complicates ofpbuf, by making dp-packet
independent of ofpbuf both libraries can be optimized for
their own use case.
This avoids mapping operation between ofpbuf and dp_packet
in datapath upcalls.

Create specific types for ofp and odp port

2013-06-20T17:42:37+00:00

Until now, datapath ports and openflow ports were both represented by
unsigned integers of various sizes. With implicit conversions, etc., it is
easy to mix them up and use one where the other is expected.  This commit
creates two typedefs, ofp_port_t and odp_port_t.  Both of these two types
are marked by "__attribute__((bitwise))" so that sparse can be used to
detect any misuse.

Better abstract OpenFlow error codes.

2012-01-12T23:54:25+00:00

This commit switches from using the actual protocol values of error codes
internally in Open vSwitch, to using abstract values that are translated to
and from protocol values at message parsing and serialization time.  I
believe that this makes the code easier to read and to write.

This is also one step along the way toward OpenFlow 1.1 support because
OpenFlow 1.1 renumbered a bunch of error codes.

pktbuf: Directly use pointers in pktbuf_save().

2012-01-10T22:29:17+00:00

In future patches, directly using a void * pointer in the
pktbuf_save() definition will simplify the code.

Merge citrix branch into master.

2009-09-22T17:17:44+00:00

Rename "secchan" to "ofproto" (library) and "ovs-openflowd" (program).

2009-07-08T17:30:42+00:00

These names are more meaningful, so we prefer them.
