Hi David, Thanks for the submission. Since this is a bugfix for a long-running behaviour, I reduced the patch to just the functional changes and applied it to master, branch-2.6 and branch-2.5.
Here's the final change, please let me know if it is still missing something: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/commit/9120cfc05cd49d4ba1a47eb97e6407e72a5d33f7 I had trouble applying your patch but I was able to work around it. In future please use "git format-patch" to format a patch, and if you can, "git send-email" to send it. These take care of ensuring that the patch arrives correctly to the mailinglist. For bugfixes, the change should also be as small as possible to make it easier to review the core change and less likely to have unintended consequences. Refactoring and cosmetic changes should be separate. Did you ever get confirmation from upstream that the fix was applied to Linux?
