I keep getting several of these messages in kern.log
Jan 10 19:27:42 controller-160kernel: [175640.463342] openvswitch: netlink: 
Flow actions may not be safe onall matching packets.


The packets being dropped are MPLS packets which need to be sent over a VXLAN 
tunnel.

Specifically, "unknown destination" MPLS packets matching the multicast flood 
entry shown below
cookie=0x8e9ca45d1a13c3ab, duration=12089.542s,table=22, n_packets=3724, 
n_bytes=364064, 
priority=1,dl_vlan=2actions=pop_vlan,set_field:0x203d->tun_id,output:2,output:4"


In addition, this only happens when there are atleast two tunnels through which 
the packets need to be flooded out.The problem does not happen if the flow 
entry is as follows
cookie=0x8e9ca45d1a13c3ab, duration=12089.542s, table=22, n_packets=3724, 
n_bytes=364064, priority=1,dl_vlan=2 
actions=pop_vlan,set_field:0x203d->tun_id,output:2"

ovs_nla_copy_actions() is most probably returning an error.  Any pointers.

thanks,Farhad.
