Jiri Pirko 7826d43f2d ethtool: fix drvinfo strings set in drivers
Use strlcpy where possible to ensure the string is \0 terminated.
Use always sizeof(string) instead of 32, ETHTOOL_BUSINFO_LEN
and custom defines.
Use snprintf instead of sprint.
Remove unnecessary inits of ->fw_version
Remove unnecessary inits of drvinfo struct.

Jiri Pirko 15c6ff3bc0 net: remove unnecessary NET_ADDR_RANDOM "bitclean"
NET_ADDR_SET is set in dev_set_mac_address() no need to alter
dev->addr_assign_type value in drivers.

Pravin B Shelar 46df7b8145 openvswitch: Add support for network namespaces.
Following patch adds support for network namespace to openvswitch.
Since it must release devices when namespaces are destroyed, a
side effect of this patch is that the module no longer keeps a
refcount but instead cleans up any state when it is unloaded.

Jesse Gross 7fe99e2d43 openvswitch: Reset upper layer protocol info on internal devices.
It's possible that packets that are sent on internal devices (from
the OVS perspective) have already traversed the local IP stack.
After they go through the internal device, they will again travel
through the IP stack which may get confused by the presence of
existing information in the skb. The problem can be observed
when switching between namespaces. This clears out that information
to avoid problems but deliberately leaves other metadata alone.
This is to provide maximum flexibility in chaining together OVS
and other Linux components.

Danny Kukawka 7ce5d22219 net: use eth_hw_addr_random() and reset addr_assign_type
Use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr()
to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM.

Reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get
changed via .ndo_set_mac_address.

v2: adapt to renamed eth_hw_addr_random()

Jesse Gross ccb1352e76 net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components.
Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized
environments.  In addition to supporting a variety of features
expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained
programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network.
This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is
particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments,
which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need
to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants.

The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet
forwarding.  It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd,
which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and
translate it into packet processing rules.

See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
utilities.
