[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5: Update docs for max-idle.

Wed Oct 14 20:27:00 UTC 2015


When this configuration parameter was initially introduced into the
database, the documentation was not updated to describe where it
resides.

Fixes: 72310b041cfa ("upcall: Configure datapath max-idle through ovs-vsctl.")
