Aaron Conole says: ==================== selftests: net: Switch pmtu.sh to use the internal ovs script. Currently, if a user wants to run pmtu.sh and cover all the provided test cases, they need to install the Open vSwitch userspace utilities. This dependency is difficult for users as well as CI environments, because the userspace build and setup may require lots of support and devel packages to be installed, system setup to be correct, and things like permissions and selinux policies to be properly configured. The kernel selftest suite includes an ovs-dpctl.py utility which can interact with the openvswitch module directly. This lets developers and CI environments run without needing too many extra dependencies - just the pyroute2 python package. This series enhances the ovs-dpctl utility to provide support for set() and tunnel() flow specifiers, better ipv6 handling support, and the ability to add tunnel vports, and LWT interfaces. Finally, it modifies the pmtu.sh script to call the ovs-dpctl.py utility rather than the typical OVS userspace utilities. The pmtu.sh can still fall back on the Open vSwitch userspace utilities if the ovs-dpctl.py script can't be used. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240625172245.233874-1-aconole@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
