Subject: ofproto-dpif: Fix CONTROLLER actions for LLC frames.
X-Git-Tag: sliver-openvswitch-0.1-1~167
X-Git-Url: http://git.onelab.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0104aba86e4de01790ee0f1ffb96a1193fa3e04d;p=sliver-openvswitch.git

ofproto-dpif: Fix CONTROLLER actions for LLC frames.

The CONTROLLER action assumed that all Ethernet frames stored their
Ethernet Type in the two bytes succeeding the source and
destination addresses.  This turns out not to be true for 802.2 LLC
frames, potentially causing an assertion failure.  This patch
solves the issue by skipping the assertion in this case.

Bug #10349.
