[ovs-dev] [PATCH 4/5] nx-match: Do not check pre-requisites for load actions

Simon Horman horms at verge.net.au
Fri Oct 5 08:05:55 UTC 2012


There are (or at least will be) cases where this check can produce false
positives.  For example, a flow which matches a non-MPLS packet and then
applies an MPLS push action followed by an action to load the MPLS label.

I believe this is the same problem that was recently discussed in
relation to set-field. In that case my understanding is that consensus
was to omit the check and potentially revisit the problem later.
