I see you've tested on a few platforms as well, that's great.
Reporting back, I suspect that some of the older kernels don't treat the double-tagged vlans right with this series? I was using an Ubuntu trusty VM with kernel 3.13.0-92-generic plus this backport and it seems to be consistently failing this test: 4: datapath - ping between two ports on cvlan FAILED (system-traffic.at:88) The test output just shows that a ping tries about 10 times and fails all of the times. I didn't investigate further. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
