Description Mark Gray 2020-09-29 15:08:23 UTC 
Description of problem:

ovsdb-idlc.in is compiled with an ovsdb schema to build APIs to access ovsdb tables. ovsdb-idlc.in creates functions of the type *_is_new() using a template in ovsdb-idlc.in:

e.g.

static inline bool %(s)s_is_new(const struct %(s)s *row) 

becomes

ovsrec_interface_is_new()
sbrec_logical_flow_is_new()

The template definition for these functions is incorrect which may cause performance degradation or unexpected behaviour.
