[ovs-discuss] Problems executing decap(eth)+encap(eth) actions

Hello
When using nsh encapsulation, it's useful to normalize your pipeline to
packet_type=nsh, poping an ethernet header on input if necessary and
pushing an ethernet header again if required before output.
But it seems to be problematic:

Looking at the code datapath/flow_netlink.c @ __ovs_nla_copy_actions:
case OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_ETH:
/* Disallow pushing an Ethernet header if one
* is already present */
if (mac_proto != MAC_PROTO_NONE)
return -EINVAL;
mac_proto = MAC_PROTO_NONE;
break;
case OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_ETH:
if (mac_proto != MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET)
return -EINVAL;
if (vlan_tci & htons(VLAN_TAG_PRESENT))
return -EINVAL;
mac_proto = MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET;
break;
Isn't the mac_proto set inverted here, should'nt it look like this?
case OVS_ACTION_ATTR_PUSH_ETH:
/* Disallow pushing an Ethernet header if one
* is already present */
if (mac_proto != MAC_PROTO_NONE)
return -EINVAL;
mac_proto = MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET;
break;
case OVS_ACTION_ATTR_POP_ETH:
if (mac_proto != MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET)
return -EINVAL;
if (vlan_tci & htons(VLAN_TAG_PRESENT))
return -EINVAL;
mac_proto = MAC_PROTO_NONE;
break;
BR
Jaime.
