The pointer dst_cache pointer is NULL in the function rpl_dst_cache_get_ip4(). There is no NULL check for pointer dst_cache. Is this issue fixed after the release 2.6.1 version? Please let me know if anybody has the proper fix for this issue. -- Thanks & Regards Neelakantam Gaddam _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
