* ofproto: Only initiate flow table modifications if they will succeed.Ben Pfaff2014-06-121-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In OpenFlow, a single "flow_mod" operation can change the actions (and some other properties) of an arbitrary number of flows. Until now, Open vSwitch has assumed that any subset of these operations could fail. However, it has come out in discussion in the OpenFlow extensibility working group that "partial failure" of a flow table operation is undesirable, and furthermore that it should be possible to avoid it on hardware implementations. (The latter is the reason that Open vSwitch permitted it to be with.) This commit changes Open vSwitch to check whether all of a set of flow table modifications will succeed before it initiates any of them. This will not change visible behavior of the Open vSwitch software switch, which never failed flow table modifications anyway. It might change behavior of some hardware implementation, but I don't actually know of any. ONF-JIRA: EXT-362. Signed-off-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com> Acked-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch>
* CONTRIBUTING: Describe commonly used tags; introduce Reported-at.Ben Pfaff2014-06-051-11/+108
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is partly documentation of how patches are tagged in practice in Open vSwitch. The bits at the end about "Reported-at:" and "VMware-BZ:" are an attempt to influence future practices; I cannot say how successful they will be. I am not sure whether these key-value pairs at the end of commit messages are actually commonly called "tags". I'm happy to use a different term if that one seems wrong.
