I'm going to copy William Tu on this. He has worked on the upstream

William,
Eli is trying to implement an ip6gre vport module for upstream. You can
see his patches at the link above. I've never
Hi Eli,
I think the vport type is for compatibility code.
see Pravin's feedback here
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg458250.html

We should add new type type using dpif-netlink-rtnl.
thought about it before but it appears there is a gap between our out of
tree ip6gre support and the upstream. Do
you expect ip6gre to work on the upsream OVS right now or is this truly
a gap?
I think for newer kernel, OVS can use the upstream's ip6gre module.
But I never tested after 4.20 kernel.
ip6gre is definitely not working in the upstream kernel. I'm looking
into it. I think Eli has stumbled onto a gap between
our out of tree drivers and the upstream drivers.
Thanks,
- Greg
