OVS was merged in Linux 3.3, if I recall correctly. With those kernels, you can use the in-tree or the out-of-tree modules. Features usually make into the out-of-tree module and then get merged into some upstream kernel, so there can be advantages to using the out-of-tree module even with newer kernels. > If not, you could consider adding a DKMS exception that prevents > compilation with 3.11 with a more descriptive reason. That's an option, yes. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
