From 9b82c62f33d53192cd89ae9c62f67ddad2c2df1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Beniamino Galvani Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2020 10:36:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libnm-core: interpret ovs-patch.peer as an interface name MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The 'peer' property of ovs-patch is inserted into the 'options' column of the ovsdb 'Interface' table. The ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page says about it: options : peer: optional string The name of the Interface for the other side of the patch. The named Interface’s own peer option must specify this Interface’s name. That is, the two patch interfaces must have reversed name and peer values. Therefore, it is wrong to validate the peer property as an IP address and document it as such. Fixes: d4a7fe46797b ('libnm-core: add ovs-patch setting') (cherry picked from commit beb1dba8c145be0971a488dcabac241e1c3a363b) (cherry picked from commit 5598c039e4557510b567f12418601f5983fe5357) --- clients/common/settings-docs.h.in | 2 +- libnm-core/nm-setting-ovs-patch.c | 12 +++--------- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/clients/common/settings-docs.h.in b/clients/common/settings-docs.h.in index cec6e485e2..c10b6975a6 100644 --- a/clients/common/settings-docs.h.in +++ b/clients/common/settings-docs.h.in @@ -270,7 +270,7 @@ #define DESCRIBE_DOC_NM_SETTING_OVS_BRIDGE_STP_ENABLE N_("Enable or disable STP.") #define DESCRIBE_DOC_NM_SETTING_OVS_DPDK_DEVARGS N_("Open vSwitch DPDK device arguments.") #define DESCRIBE_DOC_NM_SETTING_OVS_INTERFACE_TYPE N_("The interface type.
