ovs: Turn vports with dependencies into separate modules

2014-10-28T18:43:18+00:00

The internal and netdev vport remain part of openvswitch.ko. Encap
vports including vxlan, gre, and geneve can be built as separate
modules and are loaded on demand. Modules can be unloaded after use.
Datapath ports keep a reference to the vport module during their
lifetime.

Allows to remove the error prone maintenance of the global list
vport_ops_list.

openvswitch: Add support for Geneve tunneling.

2014-10-06T04:32:21+00:00

The Openvswitch implementation is completely agnostic to the options
that are in use and can handle newly defined options without
further work. It does this by simply matching on a byte array
of options and allowing userspace to setup flows on this array.

openvswitch: Restructure datapath.c and flow.c

2013-10-04T01:16:47+00:00

Over the time datapath.c and flow.c has became pretty large files.
Following patch restructures functionality of component into three
different components:

flow.c: contains flow extract.
flow_netlink.c: netlink flow api.
flow_table.c: flow table api.

This patch restructures code without changing logic.

openvswitch: Add vxlan tunneling support.

2013-08-20T07:15:44+00:00

Following patch adds vxlan vport type for openvswitch using
vxlan api. So now there is vxlan dependency for openvswitch.

openvswitch: Add gre tunnel support.

2013-06-20T01:07:42+00:00

Add gre vport implementation.  Most of gre protocol processing
is pushed to gre module. It make use of gre demultiplexer
therefore it can co-exist with linux device based gre tunnels.

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.

2011-12-03T17:35:17+00:00

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.
