[ovs-dev] [PATCH 07/18] datapath: Allow IP actions for MPLS

[Simon Horman]

Allow copy_ttl_in to function in the case where:
a) The outer header is MPLS;
b) The next-outer header is IP and;
c) The resulting nw ttl will be different from its existing value

In this circumstance a set ipv4 action will be used to adjust the TTL
but the dl_type of the match will be ETH_P_MPLS_UC or ETH_P_MPLS_MC.
