From d26dcf73a8f15d1091ba0d31a3d2380f52bd5d92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilya Maximets Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 20:20:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] openvswitch: remove support for legacy tunnel types ovs-vswitchd doesn't use OVS_VPORT_TYPE_GRE/VXLAN/GENEVE with the Linux kernel module since adding support for standard tunnel devices with COLLECT_METADATA back in 2017. The code to use them was only activated as a fallback for old kernels, so not used in practice. And it is now fully removed in the upcoming OVS 4.0 release. Modern way to use tunnels with OVS is to create standard tunnel ports with RTM_NEWLINK + COLLECT_METADATA and add them as OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV. Device reference management and the netlink options parsing for these legacy port types is complicated and was a CVE magnet in the previous release cycles. Existence of these modules also makes locking analysis for geneve module and other core tunnel devices unnecessarily more complicated, especially in light of migration to per-netns locking. Since there are no actual users for these port types for a very long time, let's just remove the support entirely. There is no practical reason to run OVS from 2017 on a recent kernel. While it's technically a uAPI change in some sense, from the user's perspective this removal looks indistinguishable from the kernel built with CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH_GENEVE/VXLAN/GRE disabled. And it seems like removal of unused drivers/modules is not a rare event these days. A comment is added to the uAPI header noting that standard RTM_NEWLINK with COLLECT_METADATA followed by OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW with the simple OVS_VPORT_TYPE_NETDEV should be used instead. Modules responsible for these tunnel ports are removed as well as selftests covering this functionality. Further cleanups will follow.

From 38aecd1a1973806524b183e21cedf52a088607f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilya Maximets Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 20:20:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/6] openvswitch: vport: remove infrastructure for vport options Since removal of tunnel vport types, there aren't any vports that support options. Let's remove the options-related infrastructure. Can be reinstated if we ever need a new vport type or if we need extra options for the existing ones. The uAPI attribute remains. Clarification comment is added to highlight that none of the supported vports support options at the moment. If the options are provided, the code now directly replies with -EOPNOTSUPP to keep the behavior the same for remaining vport types. Note: It is technically possible that someone has an out-of-tree module named vport-type-N that implements a different vport type and they have options for this vport type. However, our message size calculations do not account for whatever options such a port would have and so it is dangerous to load such a module without modifying the code in the main datapath.c, unless the options are smaller than the ones we had for vxlan. A more robust solution would be to have a different version of the entire openvswitch module instead, so the use case of a separate vport-type-N loaded with the upstream openvswitch module is unlikely. At this time we're not aware of anyone doing that.
