If the daemon(s) aren't running for whatever reason, the RHEL ovs ifup/ifdown scripts don't take that into account and an attempt to reboot a system could take forever. (literally. endless loop!) Here are a couple of patches (one of ifup, one for ifdown) to add timeouts (10 seconds), because it runs per interface you have configured and that could take awhile to reboot a system if needed.
