[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2.57] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel

[Simon Horman]

Hi Jesse, Hi Pravin, Hi All,

This patchset makes use of a whitelist to only allow mpls_push actions to
be applied to packets with an ethertype where the tag order is well defined
and implemented. This avoids the problem of where an MPLS LSE should be
added in relation to a VLAN or similar tag.

The list of allowed ethertypes is currently:

  - ETH_P_IP (0x0800)
  - ETH_P_ARP (0x0806)
  - ETH_P_RARP (0x0835)
  - ETH_P_IPV6 (0x86DD)
  - ETH_P_MPLS_UC (0x8847)
  - ETH_P_MPLS_MC (0x8847)


I have updated this patch since v2.56 to account for the new
sample action which does not have side effects. This has allowed
complex verification code in this patch to be replaced with something
significantly simpler and smaller.
