Jesse Gross cbd531bebb openvswitch: Remove unused get_config vport op.
The get_config vport op is left over from old compatibility code,
it is neither used nor implemented any more.

Thomas Graf cff63a5292 openvswitch: Remove unneeded ovs_netdev_get_ifindex()
The only user is get_dpifindex(), no need to redirect via the port
operations.

Pravin B Shelar e0f0ecf33c openvswitch: Use generic struct pcpu_tstats.
Rather than defining ovs specific stats struct (vport_percpu_stats),
we can use existing pcpu_tstats to achieve exactly same functionality.

Pravin B Shelar 8e4e1713e4 openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.
Currently OVS uses combination of genl and rtnl lock to protect
datapath state.  This was done due to networking stack locking.
But this has complicated locking and there are few lock ordering
issues with new tunneling protocols.
Following patch simplifies locking by introducing new ovs mutex
and now this lock is used to protect entire ovs state.

Thomas Graf 03599c9411 openvswitch: Avoid useless holes in struct vport
Having the 16bit port_no in between a set of pointers creates
an unwanted and useless hole in the struct.

Eric W. Biederman 15e473046c netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion
It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

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 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.
