Subject: ofproto: Don't send async messages on transient connections by default.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c91248b3ab3f75070c7985fe723f54437cb8848e;p=openvswitch

ofproto: Don't send async messages on transient connections by default.

ofproto supports listening for "transient connections" from clients such
as ovs-ofctl.  These OpenFlow connections are not supposed to receive
asynchronous messages by default, unless they ask for them by setting an
nonzero packet-in send length.  This feature got broken some time back.
This commit fixes it.
