Subject: connmgr: Use 'ofproto_mutex' to protect ofconns from being destroyed.
X-Git-Tag: sliver-openvswitch-2.0.90-1~8^2~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.onelab.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3b0c6b569f7d5957919eb170ae95c402db37186c;p=sliver-openvswitch.git

connmgr: Use 'ofproto_mutex' to protect ofconns from being destroyed.

Code in the ofproto-dpif miss handler threads can currently access
ofconns, sending flow_removed and flow monitor messages due to NXAST_LEARN
actions.  Nothing currently protects those threads from accessing ofconns
that are in the process of being destroyed.  This commit adds protection
'ofproto_mutex', which NXAST_LEARN already takes.

Later patches will address other races that remain.
