^ required in datapath/linux/compat/*.c, or datapath/*.c. If a function doesn't exist in an older kernel, a backport is needed - whether in the headers or datapath/linux/compat/*.c. Also, if the behaviour of one of those functions changes on a newer kernel which requires changes to the users (such as datapath/*.c), then they may also need updating. > , so my conclusion is we needn't them at all, > https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2017-February/328492.html is > enough for 802.1ad backport for ovs. At a glance I think you're right. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
