hw-offload is can actually be enabled without a restart. Then, once enabled, a restart is needed in order to make the new value effective. tc-policy, just like hw-offload, is protected by ovsthread_once_start() in netdev_set_flow_api_enabled() and is only parsed when hw-offload is enabled. So lets document that if hw-offload was already enabled changing it requires a restart in order for it to have effect. v2: include changes regarding the new understanding on hw-offload Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> --- vswitchd/vswitch.xml | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
