Ben Pfaff	e9e28be359	Introduce general-purpose ways to wait for dpif and netdev changes. ... The dpif and netdev code has had various ways to check for changes to dpifs and netdevs over the course of Open vSwitch development. All of these have been thus far fairly specific to the Linux implementation. This commit is the start of a more general API for watching for such changes. The dpif-related parts seem fairly mature and so they are documented, the netdev parts will probably need to change somewhat and so they are not documented yet.	2009-07-06 09:07:24 -07:00
Ben Pfaff	5792c5c64a	dpif: Add new functions dp_run() and dp_wait(). ... The upcoming netdev-based dpif needs a hook where it can process packets and throw them against the flow table, and this provides a suitable place.	2009-07-06 09:07:24 -07:00
Ben Pfaff	96fba48f52	dpif: Make dpifs abstract, to allow multiple datapath implementations. ... This commit initially introduces only a single datapath implementation, which is the same as the original one, but it paves the way for additional implementations, such as the upcoming userspace datapath.	2009-07-06 09:07:24 -07:00
