From f85748f7f1228fc7dcf5a9280e01d4bd9f13df1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Pfaff Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:02:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ovs-ctl: Restore ability to create 256 bridges. OVS is supposed to support at least 256 bridges simultaneously, but the file descriptor count was a little too low for that. Build tested only. Bug #8218.
