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. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

openvswitch: Enable retrieval of TCP flags from IPv6 traffic. We currently check that a packet is IPv4 and TCP before fetching the TCP flags. This enables fetching from IPv6 packets as well. Reported-by: Michael Mao <mmao@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

openvswitch: Add length check when retrieving TCP flags. When collecting TCP flags we check that the IP header indicates that a TCP header is present but not that the packet is actually long enough to contain the header. This adds a check to prevent reading off the end of the packet. In practice, this is only likely to result in reading of bad data and not a crash due to the presence of struct skb_shared_info at the end of the packet. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

openvswitch: using kfree_rcu() to simplify the code The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function. spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.
