Aaron Conole says: ==================== selftests: openvswitch: add support for testing upcall interface The existing selftest suite for openvswitch will work for regression testing the datapath feature bits, but won't test things like adding interfaces, or the upcall interface. Here, we add some additional test facilities. First, extend the ovs-dpctl.py python module to support the OVS_FLOW and OVS_PACKET netlink families, with some associated messages. These can be extended over time, but the initial support is for more well known cases (output, userspace, and CT). Next, extend the test suite to test upcalls by adding a datapath, monitoring the upcall socket associated with the datapath, and then dumping any upcalls that are received. Compare with expected ARP upcall via arping. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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 Restructured Text 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.
