  We're unlikely to hit this leak, but the static checkers complain if we
  don't take care of it.

• ccb1352e7   net: Add Open vSwitch kernel components. ... Browse Code »

  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.

  See http://openvswitch.org for more information and userspace
  utilities.
