I think that one reason that this might be having some trouble getting reviews is because it's against the datapath directory. For some time now, the path for changes to the Linux datapath is to first post them to the netdev mailing list and get them committed to upstream Linux, then to port equivalent changes to the Open vSwitch in-tree module. (I don't follow netdev; maybe you've already done that.) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
