8c876639c9 openvswitch: Remove vport stats.
Since all vport types are now backed by netdev, we can directly
use netdev stats. Following patch removes redundant stat
from vport.

61adedf3e3 route: move lwtunnel state to dst_entry
Currently, the lwtunnel state resides in per-protocol data. This is
a problem if we encapsulate ipv6 traffic in an ipv4 tunnel (or vice versa).
The xmit function of the tunnel does not know whether the packet has been
routed to it by ipv4 or ipv6, yet it needs the lwtstate data. Moving the
lwtstate data to dst_entry makes such inter-protocol tunneling possible.

As a bonus, this brings a nice diffstat.

dcc38c033b openvswitch: Re-add CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN
This readds the config option CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_VXLAN to avoid a
hard dependency of OVS on VXLAN. It moves the VXLAN config compat
code to vport-vxlan.c and allows compliation as a module.

Retrieve the tunnel metadata for packets received by a net_device and
provide it to ovs_vport_receive() for flow key extraction.

[This hunk was in the GRE patch in the initial series and missed the

614732eaa1 openvswitch: Use regular VXLAN net_device device
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.

640b2b107c openvswitch: disable LRO
Currently, openvswitch tries to disable LRO from the user space. This does
not work correctly when the device added is a vlan interface, though.
Instead of dealing with possibly complex stacked cross name space relations
in the user space, do the same as bridging does and call dev_disable_lro in
the kernel.

62b9c8d037 ovs: Turn vports with dependencies into separate modules
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.

b07c26511e openvswitch: fix vport-netdev unregister
The combination of two commits:
commit 8e4e1713e4
("openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.")
commit 2537b4dd0a
("openvswitch:: link upper device for port devices")

introduced a bug where upper_dev wasn't unlinked upon
netdev_unregister notification

The following steps:

  modprobe openvswitch
  ovs-dpctl add-dp test
  ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap
  ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1
  ip tuntap del dev tap1 mode tap

are causing multiple warnings:

[   62.769724] device tap1 left promiscuous mode

This patch also affects moving devices between net namespaces.

OVS used to ignore netns move notifications which caused problems.
Like:
  ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1
  ip link set tap1 netns 3512
and then removing tap1 inside the namespace will cause hang on missing dev_put.

With this patch OVS will detach dev upon receiving netns move event.

8e4e1713e4 openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.
Currently OVS uses combination of genl and rtnl lock to protect
datapath state.  This was done due to networking stack locking.
But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering
issues with new tunneling protocols.
Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex
and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state.

d9d59089c4 openvswitch: Move LRO check from transmit to receive.
The check for LRO packets was incorrectly put in the transmit path
instead of on receive.  Since this check is supposed to protect OVS
(and other parts of the system) from packets that it cannot handle
it is obviously not useful on egress.  Therefore, this commit moves
it back to the receive side.

The primary problem that this caused is upcalls to userspace tried
to segment the packet even though no segmentation information is
available.  This would later cause NULL pointer dereferences when
skb_gso_segment() did nothing.

92eb1d4771 openvswitch: Use RCU callback when detaching netdevices.
Currently, each time a device is detached from an OVS datapath
we call synchronize RCU before freeing associated data structures.
However, if a bridge is deleted (which detaches all ports) when
many devices are connected then there can be a long delay.  This
switches to use call_rcu() to group the cost together.

c1c92b6a5b openvswitch: Print device when warning about over MTU packets.
If an attempt is made to transmit a packet that is over the device's
MTU then we log it using the datapath's name.  However, it is much
more helpful to use the device name instead.

46df7b8145 openvswitch: Add support for network namespaces.
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.

ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
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.
