- update to 2.17.2:
- Bug fixes
- DPDK:
* OVS validated with DPDK 21.11.1. It is recommended to use this version
until further releases.
- Bug fixes
- libopenvswitch API change:
* 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.

- fix python3 requires (bsc#1196758)
- Added install-ovsdb-tools.patch to install ovsdb tools required
for building OVN
- Enable multiple python3 flavor subpackages on Tumbleweed / Factory
- Update OVS to version 2.17.0
* Userspace datapath:
* Optimized flow lookups for datapath flows with simple match criteria.
* New per-interface configuration knob 'other_config:tx-steering'.
* Removed experimental tag for PMD Auto Load Balance.
* New configuration knob 'other_config:n-offload-threads' to change the
number of HW offloading threads.
* DPDK:
* EAL argument --socket-mem is no longer configured by default upon
start-up. If dpdk-socket-mem and dpdk-alloc-mem are not specified,
DPDK defaults will be used.
* EAL argument --socket-limit no longer takes on the value of --socket-mem
by default. 'other_config:dpdk-socket-limit' can be set equal to
the 'other_config:dpdk-socket-mem' to preserve the legacy memory
limiting behavior.
* EAL argument --in-memory is applied by default if supported.
* Add support for DPDK 21.11.
* Forbid use of DPDK multiprocess feature.
* Add support for running threads on cores >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.
* Python: For SSL support, the use of the pyOpenSSL library has
been replaced with the native 'ssl' module.
* OVSDB:
* Python library for OVSDB clients now also supports faster

- Fix preserving old default OVS_USER_ID for users that removed the
override at /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch or for users affected by
fillup bug below (bsc#1172861).
- Add patch to workaround a possible fillup issue that could cause
existing openvswitch configuration to be unintendedly altered during
upgrades (bsc#1172929).

- 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.
