Public bug reported: According to the documentation(1) the following setting: ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:hw-offload=true|false/unset should have effects only after vswitchd is restarted.
However, flipping the value on will have the following effect: Hardware offloads will be enabled for newly created ports, but not on the ports prior enabling the TC offloads. If hw-offload got enabled, qdisc configured, hw-offload disabled --> ovs restarted. This sequence might not delete the qdisc, and vswitchd on restart might not touch existing ones. As a side effect you will have to delete them manually.
