e2d9d8358c openvswitch: pass mac_proto to ovs_vport_send
We'll need it to alter packets sent to ARPHRD_NONE interfaces.

Change do_output() to use the actual L2 header size of the packet when
deciding on the minimum cutlen. The assumption here is that what matters is
not the output interface hard_header_len but rather the L2 header of the
particular packet. For example, ARPHRD_NONE tunnels that encapsulate
Ethernet should get at least the Ethernet header.

fc4099f172 openvswitch: Fix egress tunnel info.
While transitioning to netdev based vport we broke OVS
feature which allows user to retrieve tunnel packet egress
information for lwtunnel devices.  Following patch fixes it
by introducing ndo operation to get the tunnel egress info.
Same ndo operation can be used for lwtunnel devices and compat
ovs-tnl-vport devices. So after adding such device operation
we can remove similar operation from ovs-vport.

7b4577a9da openvswitch: Fix net exit.
Open vSwitch allows moving internal vport to different namespace
while still connected to the bridge. But when namespace deleted
OVS does not detach these vports, that results in dangling
pointer to netdevice which causes kernel panic as follows.
This issue is fixed by detaching all ovs ports from the deleted
namespace at net-exit.

to improve network visibility.
To export this information userspace needs to know egress tunnel
for given packet. By extending packet attributes datapath can
export egress tunnel info for given packet. So that userspace
can ask for egress tunnel info in userspace action. This
information is used to build IPFIX data for given flow.

f0b128c1e2 openvswitch: Wrap struct ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel in a new structure.
Currently, the flow information that is matched for tunnels and
the tunnel data passed around with packets is the same. However,
as additional information is added this is not necessarily desirable,
as in the case of pointers.

This adds a new structure for tunnel metadata which currently contains
only the existing struct. This change is purely internal to the kernel
since the current OVS_KEY_ATTR_IPV4_TUNNEL is simply a compressed version
of OVS_KEY_ATTR_TUNNEL that is translated at flow setup.

Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are:
 * Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace
   using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate.
 * Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared
   across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save

 * A handful of code cleanups and rationalization.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
