[ovs-dev] [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] openvswitch: add IPv6 tunneling support

This builds on the previous work that added IPv6 support to lwtunnels and
adds IPv6 tunneling support to ovs.

To use IPv6 tunneling, there needs to be a metadata based tunnel net_device
created and added to the ovs bridge. Currently, only vxlan is supported by
the kernel, with geneve to follow shortly. There's no need nor intent to add
a support for this into the vport-vxlan (etc.) compat layer.

Jiri Benc (4):
  openvswitch: add tunnel protocol to sw_flow_key
  openvswitch: netlink attributes for IPv6 tunneling
  ip_tunnels: introduce ip6_tunnel_key_init
  openvswitch: IPv6 support for ovs_tunnel_get_egress_info
