[ovs-dev] [PATCH 0/4] netdev datapath flush offloaded flows

[Eli Britstein]

Netdev datapath offloads are done in a separate thread, using messaging
between the threads. With port removal there is a race between the offload
thread removing the offloaded rules and the actual port removal, so some
rules will not be removed. In OVS the offload objects are not freed (memory
leak). In HW the remining of the rules depend on PMD behavior.
This patch-set resolves this issue using flush.
