Re: [ovs-discuss] The kernel module does not support meters

Q: I get an error like this when I configure Open vSwitch: configure: error: Linux kernel in is version , but version newer than is not supported (please refer to the FAQ for advice) What should I do? A: You have the following options: - Use the Linux kernel module supplied with the kernel that you are using. (See also the following FAQ.) - If there is a newer released version of Open vSwitch, consider building that one, because it may support the kernel that you are building against. (To find out, consult the table in the previous FAQ.) - The Open vSwitch "master" branch may support the kernel that you are using, so consider building the kernel module from "master". All versions of Open vSwitch userspace are compatible with all versions of the Open vSwitch kernel module, so you do not have to use the kernel module from one source along with the userspace programs from the same source.

Re: [ovs-discuss] The kernel module does not support meters
Right, the OVS out-of-tree kernel module (the one that ships with OVS) doesn't support kernels greater than 4.14 yet. When OVS 2.10 ships, the plan is to include support for at least kernel 4.15. The Linux kernel includes an OVS kernel module, which always works with whatever Linux kernel it ships with. However, it will only include whatever OVS features were included at the time of that kernel release. We maintain the out-of-tree kernel module so that we can introduce new features to those older kernels. Maintaining this backwards compatibility in the out-of-tree kernel module can be fairly complex at times, which is why it sometimes lags behind the latest kernel releases. --Justin > On Aug 6, 2018, at 11:36 PM, Vikas Kumar wrote: > > Thanks for your reply Justin, > I had Linux kernel 4.15 version earlier, but when i was trying to configure > the ovs master version, in that case i was getting some other error. > please see below my previous conversation, > > > Vikas Kumar > Aug 2 (5 days ago) > > to bugs > hi Team, > i am using ubuntu 16.0. i am trying to configure the ovs source code, but i > am getting the below error message. please help me on this > > configure: error: Linux kernel in /lib/modules/4.15.0-29-generic/build is > version 4.15.18, but version newer than 4.14.x is not supported (please refer > to the FAQ for advice) > > Regards > vikash > > Darrell Ball > Aug 2 (5 days ago) > > to me, bugs > Means your kernel has been upgraded to 4.15 in your Xenial environment (check > uname –r) > > Latest OVS release supports up to 4.14 > > http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/releases/ > Second question. > > > From: on behalf of Vikas Kumar > > Date: Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 2:08 AM > To: "b...@openvswitch.org" > Subject: [ovs-discuss] Bug in configuring of Ovs > > Actually i want to dump the ovs flows for my investigation. > > Thanks > Vikash > > On Tue, Aug 7, 2018 at 2:17 PM, Justin Pettit wrote: > > > On Aug 6, 2018, at 8:49 PM, Vikas Kumar wrote: > > > > hi Team, > > kindly help me on this, when i am typing sudo ovs-dpctl dump-flows command, > > i am getting the below error > > |1|dpif_netlink|INFO|The kernel module does not support meters. > > > > I am using the below ubuntu version: > > > > 4.14.13-041413-generic > > Meters were introduced to the Linux kernel in 4.15, so earlier versions don't > support them.

Re: [ovs-discuss] The kernel module does not support meters
Thanks for your reply Justin, I had Linux kernel 4.15 version earlier, but when i was trying to configure the ovs master version, in that case i was getting some other error. please see below my previous conversation, Vikas Kumar Aug 2 (5 days ago) to bugs hi Team, i am using ubuntu 16.0. i am trying to configure the ovs source code, but i am getting the below error message. please help me on this configure: error: Linux kernel in /lib/modules/4.15.0-29-generic/build is version 4.15.18, but version newer than 4.14.x is not supported (please refer to the FAQ for advice) Regards vikash Darrell Ball Aug 2 (5 days ago) to me, bugs Means your kernel has been upgraded to 4.15 in your Xenial environment (check uname –r) Latest OVS release supports up to 4.14 http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/releases/ Second question. *From: * on behalf of Vikas Kumar < vikassanm...@gmail.com> *Date: *Thursday, August 2, 2018 at 2:08 AM *To: *"b...@openvswitch.org" *Subject: *[ovs-discuss] Bug in configuring of Ovs Actually i want to dump the ovs flows for my investigation.

Unfortunately, all the released upstream kernels have a bug in them that prevents meters from being used properly. A patch was recently accepted upstream, which means that new releases (including maintained older kernels) should receive the fix. The OVS 2.10 out-of-tree kernel module will contain meters on all supported kernels. All of that said, unless you need meters, you can just ignore that message; it's just informational. --Justin ___ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
