Openvswitch uses function from NET_IPGRE_DEMUX module. Add Kconfig dependency to fix following compilation errors: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=137244035226634 CC: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Reported-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Pravin Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Acked-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

tristate "Open vSwitch"

---help---
|
|
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.

To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
|
|
called openvswitch.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.

If you say Y here, then the Open vSwitch will be able create GRE
|
|
vport.
|

Say N to exclude this support and reduce the binary size.

If unsure, say Y.
