Hi Lorenzo,

Nice catch!

There's no guarantee that ofpacts doesn't already have another action
before the learn action.  It may change in the future.  I think it's
probably safer to:

// Save offset before adding the learn action, in the
// beginning of add_lb_vip_hairpin_reply_action().
size_t ol_offset = ofpacts->size;

[...]
// Before finish_LEARN():
ol = ofpbuf_at_assert(ofpacts, ol_offset, sizeof *ol);

Thanks,
