[ovs-discuss] New action type is not decoded correctly.

[Haosen Wen]

Sorry for the delayed response.

I attached the patch file for ovs-2.3.2 of my version.

As you can see I defined a new enumeration type for "flat" action, and try
to decode it from the flowmod message.

In the code I outputed the result right after the type of action was
decoded, where I marked "test here" in ofp-actions.c

And the result turned out to be 16 rather than 4096.

Can you figure out what I missed?


Thanks,

Hs
