Hi. I still didn't reach the actual code review, but I applied the series
and tried to make some tests. Few things:
1. Unfortunately, with this patch-set applied, "make check-offloads" doesn't
work at all. I didn't investigate yet, but it seems that flow dumping is
not working as expected.
2. patch-set needs a rebase on current master.
3. Since commit a13a0209750c ("userspace: Improved packet drop statistics.")
you need to add support for explicit drop action as I told previously
(OVS_ACTION_ATTR_DROP).
You may start fixing/implementing this. Meanwhile, I'll continue my review
and investigation.
Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
