2012-09-10netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusionEric W. Biederman1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2012-09-04openvswitch: Increase maximum number of datapath ports.Pravin B Shelar1-0/+1

2012-08-23openvswitch: Add support for network namespaces.Pravin B Shelar1-8/+14
Following patch adds support for network namespace to openvswitch. Since it must release devices when namespaces are destroyed, a side effect of this patch is that the module no longer keeps a refcount but instead cleans up any state when it is unloaded.

2011-12-06openvswitch: small potential memory leak in ovs_vport_alloc()Dan Carpenter1-1/+3
We're unlikely to hit this leak, but the static checkers complain if we don't take care of it. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Acked-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2011-12-03net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.Jesse Gross1-0/+396
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 <jesse@nicira.com>
