From e4c6d7595403e943a3afc334eb8c0efcd840043a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pravin B Shelar Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:43:23 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: Fix ovs_flow_free() ovs-lock assert. ovs_flow_free() is not called under ovs-lock during packet execute path (ovs_packet_cmd_execute()). Since packet execute does not touch flow->mask, there is no need to take that lock either. So move assert in case where flow->mask is checked. Found by code inspection.
