Nithin,

I will address your comment in the next version of this patch.

Regarding the duplicate vport delete request, I have not found a way to 
generate such request from userspace. When I use 'ovs-vsctl' application to 
send a second delete request for a VXLAN interface, the app outputs an error 
message to the console without sending the delete request to the kernel.
If there is a way to generate a duplicate vport delete request, please let me 
know so I can test the behavior and see if there are issues related to that.

Thanks,
Sorin

VXLAN tunnel port


hi Sorin,
This patch looks much better. Like I mentioned the review to the previous 
revision, a duplicate vport delete request for the same VXLAN port can mess 
things up, including accessing a freed up ‘vport’ structure. But, that is a 
corner case, and we can address it later.

I just found a new issue in OvsTunnelVportPendingUninit() where you are not 
taking the vport lock (switchContext->dispatchLock). Looks good otherwise.

You are not taking the switchContext->dispatchLock while deleting from the hash 
tables.

I should be able to ACK the next revision.

thanks,
