I understand the reasoning. The patch looks OK as far as it goes. I don't doubt that it works. I just want to see if we can come up with something more general-purpose than the pattern that this patch represents. I had already been looking at making the process of adding a new action easier and less error-prone. (Ethan pointed out that there are some nonobvious places that need updates.) It's a logical further step to make the process of adding more vendor extensions less error-prone. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
