Add a forwarding group table and a reference to the logical switch it is
configured on. The forwarding group is configured with a virtual IP, virtual
MAC and a number of logical switch ports from a logical switch.

I think you can ignore the warnings in ovn-nbctl.c.

You can run these checks your self -  "utilities/checkpatch.py -1"

You need to bump  up the version in ovn-nb.ovsschema to 5.19.0

Also please move the relevant test cases from patch 3 to this one.

Thanks
Numan

Hi Numan,

I sent v3 just now. Please take a look.

Some of the issues reported by checkpatch can not be avoided. I fixed whatever could be broken into two lines.
The warnings below are for ‘-‘ in fwd-group-add/del.

Thanks,
Manoj

Add a forwarding group table and a reference to the logical switch it is
configured on. The forwarding group is configured with a virtual IP, virtual
MAC and a number of logical switch ports from a logical switch.

This patch has below checkpatch issues. Can you please fix them.

I think you can ignore the warnings in ovn-nbctl.c.

You can run these checks your self -  "utilities/checkpatch.py -1"

You need to bump  up the version in ovn-nb.ovsschema to 5.19.0

Also please move the relevant test cases from patch 3 to this one.

Thanks
Numan
