Actions that just set fields don't emit ODP actions to do that
immediately because controllers often change fields multiple times
between outputs, so that it would be wasteful to emit the changes
multiple times. Instead, at the time of emitting an output (or other
visible side effect), OVS emits
Indeed. My custom action works when I put nl_msg_put_flag(ctx->odp_actions,
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_MY_ACTION); however none of the other cases follow this
pattern. They all set flow->xxx from the struct casted ofpact instead.
Since both setting ctx->odp_actions and flow->xxx works, I have the
