* OVS validated with DPDK 21.11.1. It is recommended to use this version
until further releases.
- update to 2.17.1:
* To fix the Undefined Behavior issue causing the compiler to incorrectly
optimize important parts of code, container iteration macros (e.g.,
LIST_FOR_EACH) have been re-implemented in a UB-safe way.
* Backwards compatibility has mostly been preserved, however the
user-provided pointer is now set to NULL after the loop (unless it
exited via "break;")
* Users of libopenvswitch will need to double-check the use of such loop
macros before compiling with a new version.
* Since the change is limited to the definitions within the headers, the
ABI is not affected.

- Update openvswitch to 2.13.0.
* For a list of changes, check
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/v2.13.0/NEWS
* This version drops python2 binding support. Only python3 bindings
provided going forward.
* Tool ovs-vlan-bug-workaround is no longer provided.
- OVN was split to its own repo but is still built together with OVS and as
such from this same source package. OVN initial version is 20.03.
* For a list of changes, check
https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/blob/v20.03.0/NEWS
* Packages openvswitch-ovn* are renamed to ovn*.
* OVN now has its own sysconfig and log paths.
- Add OVS patch to be proposed upstream:
* 0001-rhel-Fix-reload-of-OVS_USER_ID-on-startup.patch
- Patch instead of post-processing configuration files to set running
credentials (bsc#1157338):
* 0001-Run-openvswitch-as-openvswitch-openvswitch.patch
* 0001-Run-ovn-as-openvswitch-openvswitch.patch
- Will no longer change group ownership of /dev/hugepages to 'hugetlbfs'
(bsc#1140835). System admin should mount hugepages on a path and permissions of
his choosing for OVS. Add patch:
* 0001-dont-change-permissions-of-dev-hugepages.patch
- Will no longer install udev rule to change group ownership of vfio devices to
'hugetlbfs'. Group name does not make much sense in this case and ownership of
vfio devices should be coordinated system wide or per device.
- Will no longer run under group 'hugetlbfs' on new installs with DPDK enabled.
OVS will now run under group 'openvswitch' whether compiled with DPDK support
or not.
- OVS persistent state is now saved on /var/lib/openvswitch instead of
/etc/openvswitch for new installs.

OVSDB remotes.
* ovs-vswitchd:
- New options --l7 and --l7-len to "ofproto/trace" command.
- Previous versions gave OpenFlow tables default names of the form
"table#". These are not helpful names for the purpose of accepting
and displaying table names, so now tables by default have no names.

- Add minimum network namespace support for Linux.
- New command "lacp/show-stats"
* ovs-ofctl:
