Should port_query_by_name() for the userspace datapath return ENODEV, instead? > This commit fixes the problem by translating ENOENT in ENODEV in > dpif_port_query_by_name(). > > dpif-netdev handles reconfiguration errors for an interface by deleting > it from the datapath, so it's possible that a device is missing.
