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: Add SCTP support This patch adds support for rewriting SCTP src,dst ports similar to the functionality already available for TCP/UDP. Rewriting SCTP ports is expensive due to double-recalculation of the SCTP checksums; this is performed to ensure that packets traversing OVS with invalid checksums will continue to the destination with any checksum corruption intact.

openvswitch: Add Kconfig dependency on GRE-DEMUX. Openvswitch uses function from NET_IPGRE_DEMUX module. Add Kconfig dependency to fix following compilation errors: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=137244035226634 CC: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Reported-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Acked-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

openvswitch: Add vxlan tunneling support. Following patch adds vxlan vport type for openvswitch using vxlan api. So now there is vxlan dependency for openvswitch.
