* | openvswitch: Use regular VXLAN net_device device | Thomas Graf | 2015-07-21 | 1 | -11/+0 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This gets rid of all OVS specific VXLAN code in the receive and transmit path by using a VXLAN net_device to represent the vport. Only a small shim layer remains which takes care of handling the VXLAN specific OVS Netlink configuration. Unexports vxlan_sock_add(), vxlan_sock_release(), vxlan_xmit_skb() since they are no longer needed.

* | openvswitch: Support VXLAN Group Policy extension | Thomas Graf | 2015-01-15 | 1 | -0/+11 |
Introduces support for the group policy extension to the VXLAN virtual port. The extension is disabled by default and only enabled if the user has provided the respective configuration. ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vxlan0 -- \ set Interface vxlan0 type=vxlan options:exts=gbp The configuration interface to enable the extension is based on a new attribute OVS_VXLAN_EXT_GBP nested inside OVS_TUNNEL_ATTR_EXTENSION which can carry additional extensions as needed in the future. The group policy metadata is stored as binary blob (struct ovs_vxlan_opts) internally just like Geneve options but transported as nested Netlink attributes to user space. Renames the existing TUNNEL_OPTIONS_PRESENT to TUNNEL_GENEVE_OPT with the binary value kept intact, a new flag TUNNEL_VXLAN_OPT is introduced. The attributes OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_VXLAN_OPTS and existing OVS_TUNNEL_KEY_ATTR_GENEVE_OPTS are implemented mutually exclusive. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
