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: Interface with NAT. Extend OVS conntrack interface to cover NAT. New nested OVS_CT_ATTR_NAT attribute may be used to include NAT with a CT action. A bare OVS_CT_ATTR_NAT only mangles existing and expected connections. If OVS_NAT_ATTR_SRC or OVS_NAT_ATTR_DST is included within the nested attributes, new (non-committed/non-confirmed) connections are mangled according to the rest of the nested attributes. The corresponding OVS userspace patch series includes test cases (in tests/system-traffic.at) that also serve as example uses. This work extends on a branch by Thomas Graf at https://github.com/tgraf/ovs/tree/nat.

openvswitch: call only into reachable nf-nat code The openvswitch code has gained support for calling into the nf-nat-ipv4/ipv6 modules, however those can be loadable modules in a configuration in which openvswitch is built-in, leading to link errors: net/built-in.o: In function `__ovs_ct_lookup': :(.text+0x2cc2c8): undefined reference to `nf_nat_icmp_reply_translation' :(.text+0x2cc66c): undefined reference to `nf_nat_icmpv6_reply_translation' The dependency on (!NF_NAT || NF_NAT) prevents similar issues, but NF_NAT is set to 'y' if any of the symbols selecting it are built-in, but the link error happens when any of them are modular. A second issue is that even if CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV6 is built-in, CONFIG_NF_NAT_IPV4 might be completely disabled. This is unlikely to be useful in practice, but the driver currently only handles IPv6 being optional. This patch improves the Kconfig dependency so that openvswitch cannot be built-in if either of the two other symbols are set to 'm', and it replaces the incorrect #ifdef in ovs_ct_nat_execute() with two "if (IS_ENABLED())" checks that should catch all corner cases also make the code more readable. The same #ifdef exists ovs_ct_nat_to_attr(), where it does not cause a link error, but for consistency I'm changing it the same way.

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.
