Sugesh,
So the issue is that instead of recirculating on the datapath, we can compute
the “recirculation” actions on the tunnel push translation time, as these
actions only depend on the tunnel attributes? This explains why the
recirculation in this case is unnecessary, and mentioning this in
Currently the tunnel packets are recirculated in OVS after the tunnel
encapsulation. This patch combines the post tunnel actions with the tunnel
push to avoid unnecessary recirculation.
Two new datapath actions OVS_ATTR_COMBINE_START and OVS_ATTR_COMBINE_END are
added to implement this feature.
