datapath:  Always use generic stats for devices (vports)

    Currently ovs is using device stats for Linux devices and count them
itself in other situations. This leads to overlap with hardware stats,
inconsistencies, etc. It's much better to just always count the packets
flowing through the switch and let userspace do any merging that it wants.

Following patch removes vport->get_stats() interface. vport-stat is changed
to use new `struct ovs_vport_stat` rather than rtnl_link_stats64.
Definitions of rtnl_link_stats64 is removed from OVS.  dipf_port->stat is also
removed as aggregate stats are only available at netdev layer.

ovs-brcompatd: Delete ports when netdevs on fake bridges disappear.

Until now, when a network device disappeared, netdev_changed_cb() passed
the name of the bridge that contained the network device to ovs-vsctl as
part of the "del-port" command.  However, when the network device was
actually a "fake bridge", it would pass the name of the real bridge, which
ovs-vsctl rejected as wrong (expecting the name of the fake bridge) and

learning switch.  It uses a 10-second MAC expiration time to make it easier
to see what's going on:

Debian: fail gracefully if modules can't be loaded on install

it is possible to avoid failure to install in the case where the

This is done without altering the behaviour that the start target

This patch also adds a friendly hint as as to why starting

12 years agoovs-monitor-ipsec: Don't abort if syslog is not available.

ovs-monitor-ipsec: Don't abort if syslog is not available.

If /dev/log doesn't exist or cannot be contacted, ovs-monitor-ipsec would
abort with an exception.  This allows it to start up and run.

It's pretty common for a chroot used for testing not to have a syslogd
instance set up and running, so this limitation caused testing problems.

The use of eth_addr_is_multicast() to see if a reasonable address was

instead, and also saves a bit of unnecessary array reading and writing.

debian: Transition to dh_python2

dh_pysupport that the packaging used until now is deprecated, with
dh_python2 as its successor.

This commit removes the PYTHONPATH setting from
debian/openvswitch-ipsec.init because it is not needed, as the Python
packaging is public.  In fact, the Python packaging was public,
unintentionally, before, so the PYTHONPATH could have been removed earlier.
