[ovs-dev] datapath-windows: Renaming files proposal

[Nithin Raju]

Sam and Alin are of the opinion that we should nuke 'Ovs' in all files except OvsDpInterface.h.

As regards to removing 'Ovs' in OvsPub.h, I said the following to Sam.

Totally fine!



OvsPub.h is the legacy interface and will be nuked as soon as the netlink based interface is ready. OvsNetlink.h will be moved back within ovsext since it is not a 'shared file'. Ankur is working on that. Yes, getting rid of 'Ovs' from OvsNetlink is fine.

Thanks!

Correct, i think userspace interaction headers should have Ovs prefix.

If that's the case, we should also keep the 'Ovs' prefix for OvsPub.h. :)

Thanks!

Hi,

The reason we decided to keep Ovs with DpInterface was because this file defines the interface with ovs userspace, i.e it has a different semantics from other header files in ovsext.
I would prefer keeping the Ovs prefix, but its fine if you think it should be renamed.

Thanks.

Regards,
Ankur

+1 for dropping the 'Ovs' prefix for OvsDpInterface. It is odd to have just one file prefixed with Ovs.

Thanks!

Nithin,

Reasonable. I was actually thinking that if I want to remove Ovs-prefixes from all files except this one, some people may not agree with this small inconsistency :)

However, I would remove "Ovs" from OvsPub.h and OvsNetlink.h.
Would that be ok to you?

Sam

Sam,
OvsDpInterface.h is basically the OVS datapath's interface. It is being generated in a separate directory - sort of public for the datapath - to be sure. I'm inclined to leave the Ovs keyword alone for this 'OVS interface' file. Is that reasonable?

thanks,
Nithin

Hello guys,

Just to make sure that everyone agrees to this.
I want to add a commit in which to rename all files, by removing the prefix Ovs.
E.g. OvsActions.c -> Actions.c

Since there is no use in having the prefix "Ovs", and removing it may improve clarity. (there was a discussion on this on the ML)

A slight complication has appeared, with the advent of OvsDpInterface.h, which is generated.
If I am to remove the Ovs-prefix from the others, I would remove it from OvsDpInterface.h as well, which means renaming it in the .gitignore, automake.mk (in datapath-windows\include) as well.

I just want to make sure that everyone is ok with this, before I do the commit :)
