Subject: [PATCH] openvswitch: use alias for genetlink family names
Date: Fri,  9 Sep 2016 17:42:30 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473453750-18854-1-git-send-email-cascardo@redhat.com> (raw)

When userspace tries to create datapaths and the module is not loaded,
it will simply fail. With this patch, the module will be automatically
loaded.
