Hi OpenvSwitch Devs
Ubuntu Saucy is about to bump kernel version from 3.9 to 3.10; I started
looking at the impact of this on ovs but swiftly went down the rabbit
hole of not really understanding how the introduction of 802.1ad support
in this kernel version would impact on the compat layer of ovs;
specifically the following kernel commits:
net: vlan: rename NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_* feature flags to NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_*
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f646968f8f7c624587de729115d802372b9063dd
net: vlan: add 802.1ad support
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8ad227ff89a7e6f05d07cd0acfd95ed3a24450ca
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4ada8db38a44654446fe35ceb20a1972220e0f69
net: vlan: add protocol argument to packet tagging functions
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=86a9bad3ab6b6f858fd4443b48738cabbb6d094c
I was unsure as to whether this was suitable for inclusion in
datapath/compat/* or whether the datapath module itself should have
conditional code to deal with >= 3.10.0.
Help/guidance much appreciated.
Cheers
James
