[ovs-dev] [PATCH 01/15] log: Add async commit support.

Ben Pfaff blp at ovn.org
Mon Jan 1 05:16:26 UTC 2018


The OVSDB log code has always had the ability to commit the log to disk and
wait for the commit to finish.  This patch introduces a new feature that
allows the client to start a commit in the background and then to determine
asynchronously that the commit has completed.  This will be especially
useful later for the distributed database feature.
