[Users] OpenVSwitch

[Mark Olliver]

Hi Guys,

We are using a mix of OpenVZ and KVM for our guests on our Host Nodes, I have recently been looking at OpenVSwitch as well as using that could seriously help with our security isolation. I have seen in the forums that it looks like OpenVZ does not currently work with the full features of OpenVSwitch which is a shame, but even at a basic level it would be good to use rather than standard bridging. I have attempted to compile it today but found a few compile errors partly linked to RHEL6.3 issues but I have fixed those and still get a few more which I can not get past when building the kernel module against the OpenVZ kernel. I presume this must be due to extra bits in the OpenVZ kernel that do not exist in the standard RHEL kernel.

Can anyone have a go and see if there is a way to build this against the latest kernel.
I specifically have an issue with the following two definitions which I believe come from datapath/linux/net_namespace.c

"rpl_unregister_pernet_gen_device"
"rpl_register_pernet_gen_device" 

Thanks

Mark
