Commit Message

Aaron Conole June 17, 2024, 6:02 p.m. UTC
The current pmtu test infrastucture requires an installed copy of the
ovs-vswitchd userspace.  This means that any automated or constrained
environments may not have the requisite tools to run the tests.  However,
the pmtu tests don't require any special classifier processing.  Indeed
they are only using the vswitchd in the most basic mode - as a NORMAL
switch.

However, the ovs-dpctl kernel utility can now program all the needed basic
flows to allow traffic to traverse the tunnels and provide support for at
least testing some basic pmtu scenarios.  More complicated flow pipelines
can be added to the internal ovs test infrastructure, but that is work for
the future.  For now, enable the most common cases - wide mega flows with
no other prerequisites.

Enhance the pmtu testing to try testing using the internal utility, first.
As a fallback, if the internal utility isn't running, then try with the
ovs-vswitchd userspace tools.

Oh, nice, it looks saner than I thought. :)

NIT: This should have been tab instead of space.  I will correct with v2.
