[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] userspace: enable tap interface statistics and status update support

[yang_y_yi at 163.com]

From: Yi Yang <yangyi01 at inspur.com>

OVS userspace datapath can't support tap interface statistics
and status update, so users can't get these information by cmd
"ovs-vsctl list interface tap1", the root cause of this issue
is OVS doesn't know network namespace of tap interface.

This patch series fixed this issue and make sure tap interface
can show statistics and get status update.

Yi Yang (3):
  Add netns option for tap interface in userspace datapath
  Fix tap interface statistics issue
  Fix tap interface status update issue in network namespace
