Subject: [PATCHv3 0/7] Refactor macvtap to re-use tap functionality by other virtual intefaces
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2017 11:11:55 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1485803522-16564-1-git-send-email-sainath.grandhi@intel.com> (raw)
Tap character devices can be implemented on other virtual interfaces like
ipvlan, similar to macvtap. Source code for tap functionality in macvtap
can be re-used for this purpose.
This patch series splits macvtap source into two modules, macvtap and tap.
This patch series also includes a patch for implementing tap character
device driver based on the IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap.
These patches are tested on x86 platform.
Sainath Grandhi (7):
tap: Refactoring macvtap.c
tap: Renaming tap related APIs, data structures, macros
tap: Tap character device creation/destroy API
tap: Abstract type of virtual interface from tap implementation
tap: Extending tap device create/destroy APIs
tap: tap as an independent module
ipvtap: IP-VLAN based tap driver
