Bug Description
Impact:
Some Xen and OVS users will experience floods of STP errors in syslog; this generates noise and IO and fills disk space.
Test Case:
Setup Ubuntu 12.04 with Xen and OVS networking options.
Create a new guest domain using paravirtualized drivers.
Regression Potential:
Limited; the fix just switches the offending error message to be log rate-limited within openvswitch itself.
Original Bug Report:
When using Xen and OVS a log flood occurs (approx 10 entries /s) when using stubdom based HVM guests with PV drivers. This issue was reported to the OVS developers (http://

Thanks for reporting this bug. Marking confirmed based on the upstream confirmation.
We need to look at the 1.4.6 branch to see how much of a change it would be to SRU that to precise.
