Subject: [PATCH net-next v21 0/4] openvswitch: add 802.1ad support
Date: Thu,  1 Sep 2016 16:45:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472762727-25844-1-git-send-email-e@erig.me> (raw)

This series adds 802.1ad support to openvswitch. It is a continuation of the
work originally started by Thomas F Herbert - hence the large rev number.

The extra VLAN is implemented by using an additional level of the
OVS_KEY_ATTR_ENCAP netlink attribute.
In OVS flow speak, this looks like

   eth_type(0x88a8),vlan(vid=100),encap(eth_type(0x8100), vlan(vid=200),
                                        encap(eth_type(0x0800), ...))

The userspace counterpart has also seen recent activity on the ovs-dev mailing
lists. There are some new 802.1ad OVS tests being added - also on the ovs-dev
list. This patch series has been tested using the most recent version of
userspace (v3) and tests (v2).

v21 changes:
  - Fix (and simplify) netlink attribute parsing
  - re-add handling of truncated VLAN tags
  - fix if/else dangling assignment in {push,pop}_vlan()
  - simplify parse_vlan()


Eric Garver (3):
  vlan: Check for vlan ethernet types for 8021.q or 802.1ad
  openvswitch: 802.1AD Flow handling, actions, vlan parsing, netlink
    attributes
  openvswitch: report error on VLAN nlattr in ovs_key_from_nlattrs()
