Hi Ben,
I had an idea about how to fix this particular problem a different way.
The idea seems to work, I would appreciate your feedback.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[RFC] Handle pre-requisites of MPLS set-field/load actions
mpls_push and mpls_pop actions may modify the dl_type of a flow.
This needs to be taken into account when checking the pre-requisites
of set-field/load actions.
This patch implements this by tracking the dl_type changes of
mpls_push and mpls_pop actions and passing an updated flow to
nxm_reg_load_check().
If acceptable, this change should be merged partially into
"User-Space MPLS actions and matches" and partially into
"Add support for copy_ttl_out action".
