[ovs-dev] Fw: [Bug 48701] New: Kernel OOPS when transmitting packets using OVS and DSA

[Pravin Shelar]

I could not reproduce it on x86_64 arch and I do not have access to PPC or DSA,
now I am looking at code. meanwhile can you try to reproduce it only with PPC
without DSA, so that we can narrow it down?
one more thing, Are you using any openflow rule for this network or
are there any vlan configured?

Thanks,
Pravin.
