Thank you for your reply.
I am reading the source code of this logic but it is really hard to understand
every handling details.
static void xlate_actions__(struct xlate_in *xin, struct xlate_out *xout)
(...skip...)
flow_wildcards_init_catchall(wc);
memset(&wc->masks.in_port, 0xff, sizeof wc->masks.in_port);
memset(&wc->masks.skb_priority, 0xff, sizeof wc->masks.skb_priority);
memset(&wc->masks.dl_type, 0xff, sizeof wc->masks.dl_type);
(...skip...)

That makes looking forward to it!
Thanks.
