openvswitch: Move LRO check from transmit to receive.

2013-01-22T07:57:26Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: Use RCU callback when detaching netdevices.

2012-11-28T22:04:34Z

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.

net: openvswitch: use this_cpu_ptr per-cpu helper

2012-11-16T21:26:20Z

just use more faster this_cpu_ptr instead of per_cpu_ptr(p, smp_processor_id()); Signed-off-by: Shan Wei Reviewed-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: add ipv6 'set' action

2012-11-13T23:57:33Z

This patch adds ipv6 set action functionality. It allows to change traffic class, flow label, hop-limit, ipv6 source and destination address fields. Signed-off-by: Ansis Atteka Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: Process RARP packets with ethertype 0x8035 similar to ARP packets.

2012-11-02T21:14:31Z

With this commit, OVS will match the data in the RARP packets having ethertype 0x8035, in the same way as the data in the ARP packets. Signed-off-by: Mehak Mahajan Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: Store flow key len if ARP opcode is not request or reply.

2012-10-31T00:17:09Z

We currently only extract the ARP payload if the opcode indicates that it is a request or reply. However, we also only set the key length in these situations even though it should still be possible to match on the opcode. There's no real reason to restrict the ARP opcode since all have the same format so this simply removes the check. Signed-off-by: Mehak Mahajan Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

openvswitch: Print device when warning about over MTU packets.

2012-10-30T22:48:48Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross

Conflicts: net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c net/netfilter/xt_LOG.c Rather easy conflict resolution, the 'net' tree had bug fixes to make sure we checked if a socket is a time-wait one or not and elide the logging code if so. Whereas on the 'net-next' side we are calculating the UID and GID from the creds using different interfaces due to the user namespace changes from Eric Biederman. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
