Subject: xenserver: Validate controller IP address in xsconsole
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3dc6fca88bf43eceda6fe62c2f70eb5ec92ddd46;p=openvswitch

xenserver: Validate controller IP address in xsconsole

When a switch is using in-band control, the controller must be specified
in dotted quad format, since DNS names cannot be resolved until a
connection to the controller has been established.  This commit
validates the user input in the xsconsole plugin.
