Hmm. I have a guess about the problem. I guess that one or more ovsdb modules are being added to the linked list multiple times, which could cause a loop. The question, then, is why is that happening? It might be helpful to find out whether every module is being added multiple times, or just ovsdb-server. We could find that out by applying a patch like this: diff --git a/lib/vlog.h b/lib/vlog.h index 0f791af..07c4fe5 100644 --- a/lib/vlog.h +++ b/lib/vlog.h @@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ extern struct list vlog_modules; #define VLOG_DEFINE_MODULE(MODULE) \ VLOG_DEFINE_MODULE__(MODULE) \ OVS_CONSTRUCTOR(init_##MODULE) { \ + printf("%s\n", #MODULE); \ list_insert(&vlog_modules, &VLM_##MODULE.list); \ } \ and then looking for duplicates, e.g. ovsdb-server|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn|head _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
