The question is whether there is any interest in continuing to support
the OVS out-of-tree (OOT) kernel driver or should we deprecate it? The
latest kernel support for the OOT driver is up to 5.8.x There seems to
be little interest that I can tell in using the OOT driver. The main
distros all include the kernel built-in OVS driver and those drivers
generally seem to support all the primary features required by user space.
Most of the energy on this list seems to be directed toward DPDK and OVN
and it doesn't seem to me that either of those require the OOT driver.
If there's no one actually using the OOT driver I suggest we deprecate
it and save time and energy on keeping it up to date.
Opinions, thoughts, comments?
Thanks,
- Greg
