OVS used to ignore netns move notifications which caused problems. Like: ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1 ip link set tap1 netns 3512 and then removing tap1 inside the namespace will cause hang on missing dev_put. With this patch OVS will detach dev upon receiving netns move event. Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> 
The combination of two commits:
commit 8e4e1713e4
("openvswitch: Simplify datapath locking.")
commit 2537b4dd0a
("openvswitch:: link upper device for port devices")

introduced a bug where upper_dev wasn't unlinked upon
netdev_unregister notification

The following steps:

  modprobe openvswitch
  ovs-dpctl add-dp test
  ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap
  ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1
  ip tuntap del dev tap1 mode tap

are causing multiple warnings:

[   62.769724] device tap1 left promiscuous mode

This patch also affects moving devices between net namespaces.

OVS used to ignore netns move notifications which caused problems.
Like:
  ovs-dpctl add-if test tap1
  ip link set tap1 netns 3512
and then removing tap1 inside the namespace will cause hang on missing dev_put.

With this patch OVS will detach dev upon receiving netns move event.

openvswitch: Use RCU callback when detaching netdevices. 2012-11-28T22:04:34+00:00 Jesse Gross jesse@nicira.com 2012-11-28T22:01:52+00:00 92eb1d477145b2e7780b5002e856f70b8c3d74da Currently, each time a device is detached from an OVS datapath we call synchronize RCU before freeing associated data structures. However, if a bridge is deleted (which detaches all ports) when many devices are connected then there can be a long delay. This switches to use call_rcu() to group the cost together.

net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components. 2011-12-03T17:35:17+00:00 Jesse Gross jesse@nicira.com 2011-10-26T02:26:31+00:00 ccb1352e76cff0524e7ccb2074826a092dd13016 Open vSwitch is a multilayer Ethernet switch targeted at virtualized environments. In addition to supporting a variety of features expected in a traditional hardware switch, it enables fine-grained programmatic extension and flow-based control of the network. This control is useful in a wide variety of applications but is particularly important in multi-server virtualization deployments, which are often characterized by highly dynamic endpoints and the need to maintain logical abstractions for multiple tenants. The Open vSwitch datapath provides an in-kernel fast path for packet forwarding. It is complemented by a userspace daemon, ovs-vswitchd, which is able to accept configuration from a variety of sources and translate it into packet processing rules.
