Hi Yin,

I think you are confused about what this patch does. Or I may not be 
understanding this correctly.

As it stands, Event.c in OVS master has 2 bugs that I identified while looking 
at it.


  1.  OvsSubscribeEventIoctl - Subscribe function doesn’t set the right status 
parameter when queue is subscribed
  2.  OvsWaitEventIoctl - Releasing an acquired lock instead of simply 
returning back.

The 2nd bug in question is on line 359 in Event.c on master - 
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/15850211ce88d540e57a6f2fc80963465b9a5475/datapath-windows/ovsext/Event.c#L359

And that’s exactly what this patch addresses. The only thing special about 
OvsWaitEventIoctl is that it has a bug that needed to be fixed before I 
modified it further with my original changes. I kept the bug fixes separate 
from the intended changes mainly because we can use this patch to address 
issues on ToT without being blocked on my other changes.

Thanks,
Sairam

subscribe and lock

Can you refer me to the patch you fix the lock in line 359? I don't see why 
function OvsWaitEventIoctl is so special that we need to fix it in another 
patch. It is the same thing as other places you fixed so it's better to address 
them together..

Hi Yin,

Thanks for reviewing this. (1) has been addressed in a different patch.
(2) We don¹t need the lock for OvsGetOpenInstance().

Thanks,
Sairam
