datapath: fix flow used time stats
This commit fixes a problem where datapath flow used stats can report
incorrent value, thus may result in flow expirations being incorrect.
This happens when a kernel jiffies rollover occurs between the last time

vswitchd: Better tolerate changes in datapath ports.
Until now, a command that removed and added ports in a single change to
the database, e.g.:
ovs-vsctl del-port br0 vif1.0 -- add-port br0 vif2.0
typically failed, because of this sequence of events:
1. Bridge code removes vif1.0 from br0.
2. Bridge code adds vif2.0 to br0.
3. ofproto_run() receives kernel notification that vif1.0 was deleted, so
it notifies the bridge by calling back to bridge_port_changed_ofhook_cb,
which sees that it has an interface with the specified port number, and
deletes it. Oops--this is where the problem occurs. For completeness:
4. ofproto_run() receives kernel notification that vif2.0 was added, so
it notifies the bridge by calling back to ,
which sees that it has no interface with the specified port number, and
does nothing.
This commit fixes the problem by making bridge_port_changed_ofhook_cb() not
care about ports being dropped. This is a corner case that we shouldn't
work too hard to care about, since it can only happen if an administrator
is meddling with datapaths using ovs-dpctl, and the consequences are simply
that packets directed to that device will take longer to be rerouted to
another device (it will take a while for the MAC learning table to time out
the entry). Basically, the admin gets what he deserves.
Thanks to Jesse Gross for identifying the problem.

In normal operation it makes sense to keep track of all of the flows that

unusual conditions, such as those caused by network scanning tools or by an
actual targeted DoS attack against the vswitch, the number of flows can
