The goal of this series is to allow OVS to send packets through the Linux kernel connection tracker, and subsequently match on fields populated by conntrack.
This version addresses the feedback from v2, mostly minor tidyups and a few corner cases that were missed in v1. The biggest change is rather than attempting to handle VLANs specifically for header reconstruction after fragmentation, the entire L2 header is used as a more generic solution which should handle more corner cases correctly. This functionality is enabled through the CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_CONNTRACK option. The branch below has been updated with the corresponding userspace pieces: https://github.com/justinpettit/ovs conntrack v2: Split out per-netns connlabel width setting functions Simplify reference tracking in output path. Handle output cases where flow key is invalidated by prior push/pop Store entire L2 header to apply to fragments Various bits of refactoring, comments, styles, log improvements Defer patch to scrub skb Rebase v1: First non-RFC post. Fragment handling. Conntrack label support.
