Hello,
I tried to make softflowd listen on all interfaces, which is at least
possible on Linux kernels using "any" as the interface name. This,
however, caused softflowd to exit after a few seconds with a "Shutting
down after pcap EOF" message.
It seems poll (softflowd.c:1902) sometimes sets pl[0].revents without
actually packets available, thus causing pcap_dispatch to return zero.
That patch below tries to deal with this by not leaving the main loop
in that situation while reading from a live capture. Works for me, but
please review.
Regards,
Christoph
