[ovs-dev] [PATCH] docs: fix the documentation of n-handler-threads and n-revalidator-threads

Tue Feb 6 14:44:52 UTC 2018


Documentation for both n-handler-threads and n-revalidator-threads was
wrong, the spawned threads are per port instead of per datapath.

Update the docs according to vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd.8.in and code behaviour.
