Jesse Gross	bf32fecdc1	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.

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.

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.
