Hello,

I am testing OVS 2.4.0 on Linux 3.19 kernel.

Not sure when it got changed, but VXLAN offload is no longer on by
default in 3.19 - it used to be the case in 3.19. So, normally I have:
ethtool -k eth4 | grep tnl
tx-udp_tnl-segmentation: off [fixed]

Configuring a VXLAN interface manually would trigger that option to
turn on. Something like:
ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 11 group 239.1.1.1 dev eth4
ip addr add 1.2.4.5/24 dev vxlan0
ip link set up vxlan0

Then we have:
ethtool -k eth4 | grep tnl
tx-udp_tnl-segmentation: on [requested off]

I imagined that when OVS created the VXLAN tunneled ports, it should
turn on VXLAN offload as well, but it's not happening.

I check the openvswitch mod by lsmod and find:
ovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 2.3.2:
# lsmod | grep openv
vxlan                  38058  1 openvswitch
gre                    13841  1 openvswitch
libcrc32c              12644  1 openvswitch
ovs-vsctl (Open vSwitch) 2.4.0:
# lsmod | grep openv
openvswitch           110592  1 vport_vxlan
libcrc32c              16384  1 openvswitch
It shows that ovs 2.4.0 doesn’t load vxlan mode.
Any ideas?

Thanks.
