Reading the commits (and having had some experience with maintaining the
DKMS modules in Ubuntu several years ago) it looks like a stable kernel
change has impacted on the API's that the OVS out-of-tree openvswitch
datapath module uses.
Is there any reason not to use the in-tree openvswitch kernel module
provided in the Ubuntu kernels? Ubuntu stopped shipping DKMS modules as
part of OVS quite a long time ago as the openvswitch module in the kernel
is well maintained and generally up-to-date - and also to avoid this type
of breaking change.
