We are considering to add the notification in dpif_netdev_run(), a callback which is now empty in the #ifdef THREADED case. According to our tests this solves the problem in practice, but we are worried that it may be a misuse of the interface, since the corresponding dpif_netdev_wait() callback would still be empty. Any comment would be much appreciated.
